This document is a SIOANI (Sistema de Investigação de Objetos Aéreos Não Identificados) report, case number 032, concerning an Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) sighting that occurred on March 14, 1969, in Lins, São Paulo, Brazil. The primary witness, Jayme Garavello, a 42-year-old merchant, reported observing a circular object with two illuminated antennas at approximately 19:50. The object, described as having a matte metallic finish, was seen near a football field. The witness estimated the object's size to be around twelve meters. The sighting lasted for approximately three minutes, during which the object performed slow, stable maneuvers before disappearing. The witness noted that there was no sound associated with the object and no interference with radio signals. Following the incident, an investigation of the site revealed a patch of flattened grass measuring 3 by 4 meters, where the witness suggested the object might have hovered. The report includes a psychiatric evaluation of the witness, conducted as part of the SIOANI protocol, which concluded that the witness was mentally sound and capable of providing a reliable account. The document also contains a letter from Jairo Goffi to a Major, discussing the sighting and expressing a desire to further investigate and document such phenomena. The file includes sketches of the object drawn by the witness's son, Julio Cesar Batti Garavello, and detailed administrative forms documenting the environmental and psychological conditions at the time of the observation.
