Rock on, Brazil!

he Brazilian glasnost on UFOs is starting to get embarrassingly endearing. Can you imagine if the Roswell thing had happened in Sao Paulo instead. It’d be like Hey, y’all come check out this crashed thingamajig — isn’t this the butt-ugliest flight crew you’ve ever seen? Wonder how these ray guns work?

Seriously. Of all the countries declassifying UFO material, Brazil wins the Most Fun To Watch Award, bar none. Last year, Brazilian UFO Magazine Editor A.J. Gevaerd got his hands on some military docs detailing the nationwide incursions on May 19, 1986. Jet interceptors were rendered obsolete in the blink of an eye, and the incident became so famous it’s become known as Brazilian Official UFO Night.

Most impressive was the candor advanced by one Air Brigadier Jose Pessoa Cavalcanti de Albuquerque: “As a conclusion of the observed constant facts in almost all presentations, it is the opinion of this Command that the phenomenon is solid and reflects intelligence by its capacity to follow and sustain distance from the observers, as well as to fly in formation, and are not necessarily manned craft.”

This followed the partial declassification of Brazil’s Operation Plate, which studied UFO burn victims along the northern coast during a 1977-78 flap. The feds had clammed up about it until 2005, when they decided to release hundreds of documents, including photos, to Gevaerd. They’re likely still withholding the best stuff, but that may change.

Gevaerd recently scored an interview with retired Brigadier Socrates da Costa Monteiro, Brazil’s former Minister of Aeronautics. Monteiro, a transparency advocate, conceded that he and his wife were both eyewitnesses to Brazilian Official UFO Night activity from their balcony in Rio de Janeiro balcony 24 years ago. But that wasn’t the weirdest thing. The weirdest thing was an account of soldiers freaking out and opening fire on UFOs when he was commander of the Integrated Center for Air Defense and Air Traffic Control years ago.

Monteiro said he was alerted around 10 p.m. by a military CO in Gama, near Brasilia, who told him base radar was tracking UFOs and “It’s full of flying saucers around here.” The guy told Monteiro he had to order the troops to stop shooting, a decision Monteiro thought was beyond prudent. “(UFOs) have a much more advanced technology and we don’t know how they would react to our response.” He went on to describe how UFOs zipped away from pursuit jets at such incalculable velocities, “we followed a doctrine of non-aggression.”

“That was just a logical conclusion,” Monteiro added, “once we knew that (a UFO) capable of such flying maneuvers could never be hit. It would be even crazy on our part to attempt anything against it. We knew that and no one would be fool enough to try an attack. That ‘thing’ could simply pulverize us with a beam of light.”

Oh Brazil — you scamp, you rascal! You’re sooo helpless. Your air defenses would be infinitely stronger if you’d just follow the American model and refer all queries to Project Blue Book.
