Three of them live right here a.nd jjhe .other lives in near-by. Santos. Vt a haYe abridged the s'&ories o J.i,.A. or Fi deli s, or Dino K.ra.spedon, the case of. ix1aroilio .Godoi was covered by "A. P.R. G. Ite porter" and The Flying Saucer. Now we have two cases left. \ie will call them the- "Rossi oa.se" and "the GUimaraes case". Like the two former oases mentioned, the- re is nv reason wha'tieve~ to even sli.ghtly suppose that the contacts are authentic. They are not;. Don't ask us the reasons for telli'ng lies.

The thing seemed to be hot news because ~he prota gonist . was Dr. ~oao Freitas Guimaraes a respectable prof'esnor at 'the Santos Law School. I know that five days before the news got ne.vspa.per' s attention Jose Escobar Fa- ria had been in Santos trying to interview Mr. Guimaraes, but this latter turned. his back on Escobar, saying, over the telephone, that. the case was being investi gated by Aeronautical Authorities, to whom Escobar should as his questions. Smelling a rat, Escobar brought his attempted investigation to a close and la~er pointed out to the Press, the .similarity between Guimaraes' and Adamski alleged contact. Five da.;ys later the papers disclosed the news. about Guima.raes. (These ,. were not my exact words to .. Major Keyhoe, but the essence is the same. Editor) . r {b Allegedly on June 15 or 16 (about 14 months ago) Mr. Gu~maraes was calmly. '1 watehing thewaves from a sitting.position from a Sao Sebastiao beach in the state. of .sao Paulo co.ast. It was about 19: oo cS. clock. local time (2_2,:00 GMT) q~rk, cold clear night; 1llir. Guimaraes attention was suddenly called to something balky 'poised right ~ere the waves touched' the sandy, beach. 4lthough the thing was sur- rounded by a reddish-glow, Guimaraes'a first thought' was that a whale had gotten itself strand:ed. A whale is not a coJDJDon sight around Sao Sebastia.o but it is not too rare either. Besides the bulky thing was spouting. some water into the air. Soon however, ~mara. es realize& that he had before him a 20 .meters-wide con- traption whose general shape: was like the saucers Usually. seen in magazines. The . thing was about 6 or 7 meters hi.gh. Besides the red glow. around the periphery, there was another glow on the top of a dome. Guimaraes said he saw distinctly two -I repeat -two balls under the belly of ths disc, as though they were lan- ding gear balls. Amazed he got up exactly wnen a hatch from the saucer lower part opened and a flight o'f steps was lower.ed toward the ground. Two men ca.me donn the steps and walked straight to the place where Guimara.es was. Sort o startled Guimaraes spoke to them in Por~uguese, in Bnglish, in French and Ita- lian, y;anting to.know whether ey were in trouble and needed some help. ~he men I'rom the saucer never opened their :nouths to answer him. ~han Guimara.ea became aware that hewns mentally o:-'telepathically being invited to g o inside 1ihe di s c and even if he wished t o taka a little trip abo~rd ito Guimara.es doubted hie sens es, bu~. again and insiste~tly the same forcefUl impression c ame to his mind. Lie then decided to ente:-~he c r aft. He walked betweeli. the tv/0 men. When they were well in~ide the ship, ~he hatch Ties c~osed ~nd Guimaraes sat on a curved sofa., f~ing the port~olas. Soon he hea..rd a humming sound which increased in pitch until the frequency ,vas too high for him to notice it. He was taking Tbe trip lasted for 40 minu~e3.and tho crat lande d about 6 0 meters from the s t arting point on ~he Sao Sebastiao beach. During the trip, a fe~ minutes after ta~e-off, the saucar started vibrating and Guimaraes rather afraid asked one of the crew-members weather ~hey were ha:ving some trouble . The mental answer h e re- o e i ved was: nwa are leaving your planet ''s atmosphere; we are then shifting to a. magnetic mea!\& of propulsion. Through tha port-holesGuimaraes could see thatuhay had passed a v e r.y dark zone, "lousy .. with stars and flaming clouds a.nd werenow approachi~ a zone .of VE;ry intense viola t light. He. could see the earth as a blue sphere about 1/4 .. the oiza o f the full moono According to the newspapers Guimaraea: reckoned he had been just out of the ea=-th atmosphere -500 to 700 kilometers high. Then tha c a u c e r again passed .the dark zone ~d'soon landed. Joao Frei~as Guima~aas rushed out oi the saucer v;i thout looking back. Upon erriv~ng a.t the hotel where h e wo.s staying for the night, he notice d 'that i t v1as 20:25 o clock (23,25 GMT) and h e then corrected his anti-magnetic wrist wa~ch.that had stopped working soon after he ente r e d the saucer., Answering reporters qu~stions Guimaraes s aid th~t there .vera five pt:tople nia.n.ning the so.ucer, but J::le ho.d only seen three of the m. lJuring the whole trip he :.as chaperoned by a s tanding crevr-membe r~ All men were tall, beardless, blonde and ch.Jir hair reo.ched to 'their shculders .
