AI-Generated Summary
A 1969 SIOANI report details a 45-minute sighting of a luminous, round object by police officers in Senador Camará, Rio de Janeiro. The witnesses observed the object remaining stationary before moving vertically and shrinking, though they remained cautious about identifying it as an OANI.
This document is a formal SIOANI (Sistema de Investigação de Objetos Aéreos Não Identificados) sighting report, numbered 48, filed on June 7, 1969, regarding an event that occurred on the night of May 4-5, 1969, in Senador Camará, Guanabara (Rio de Janeiro). The primary witness is a 57-year-old detective named Villaça de Castro. According to the report, the witness was alerted by a colleague to observe a luminous, round object in the sky. The object remained stationary for approximately 45 minutes before moving slowly in a vertical direction, during which time it appeared to decrease in size. The report notes that the weather conditions were favorable, with a partially starry sky and no wind. The witness, who was on duty at the time, reported that two police officers observed the phenomenon. While they acknowledged the object was 'something different', they were cautious in their assessment, suggesting it might be a 'large star' and were unwilling to definitively classify it as an OANI (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon). The document includes a press clipping from a local newspaper, 'Diário da Noite', which corroborates the sighting, mentioning that the object was seen by police officers of the 5th Vigilance Sector in Senador Camará and described as having a diameter of approximately 20 meters. The report is part of the official SIOANI archive, digitized by the Grupo Ufológico de Guarujá.
FOI OBSERVADO POR DOIS POLICIAIS DE SERVIÇO, QUE JULGAM SER 'ALGO' DIFERENTE, PORÉM, DIZEM QUE PODE SER UMA GRANDE ESTRELA. NÃO QUISERAM AFIRMAR TRATAR-SE DE UM OANI.
