Incident Report #140/69 — Petrolina, Pernambuco, 1968

This document is an official report from the Police Department of Petrolina, Pernambuco, dated July 10, 1969, addressed to the Central for the Investigation of Unidentified Aerial Objects (CIOANI) of the Brazilian Air Force. The report, signed by 2nd Lieutenant José Mariano da Silva, transmits information provided by a witness, Áurea de Castro Belo, regarding an aerial sighting that occurred in December 1968. The witness, a 64-year-old widow, reported seeing two objects at approximately 07:00 hours near her residence in Petrolina. The first object was described as fish-shaped with blue, yellow, and green colors, while the second was described as oval-shaped and silver, measuring approximately two meters. The witness observed the objects flying at an altitude she could not accurately estimate. She reported no sound associated with the objects but noted metallic reflections. The witness experienced a sense of admiration during the sighting and a temporary darkening of vision afterward. The report includes a completed CIOANI questionnaire detailing the witness's background, the environmental conditions at the time of the sighting, and the characteristics of the objects. The investigating officer noted that the witness's responses were somewhat imprecise due to the short duration of the sighting. The document is part of the SIOANI archive, digitized by the Ufological Group of Guarujá.
