This document is a formal sighting report (Number 046) filed by the CIOANI (Centro de Investigação e Objeto Aéreo Não Identificado) regarding an event that occurred on June 9, 1969, in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro. The witness, Bento Durão de Barros, a 35-year-old police investigator, reported observing an unidentified aerial object at 22:15. According to the report, the object appeared over the Morro da Boa Vista at an altitude of approximately 200 meters. It hovered momentarily over the Secretariat of Agriculture, which was located near the 3rd Police District (3º DP) where the witness was stationed. The object was described as ovoid in shape, emitting a yellowish light, and producing a high-pitched sound compared by the witness to a pressure cooker. After hovering, the object moved rapidly toward the south and disappeared. The report includes a detailed questionnaire filled out by the witness, which confirms that no photographs or radar data were obtained. The witness also provided a sketch of the sighting location. The document includes a clipping from the newspaper 'Ultima Hora' dated May 5, 1969, which discusses the incident. The report concludes with a note from the investigator stating that there is a growing tendency to accept these phenomena as material occurrences. The document is part of the SIOANI archive, digitized by the GUG (Grupo Ufológico de Guarujá).
