This document is an official report from the Police Delegation of Petrolina, Pernambuco, dated July 10, 1969, addressed to the Central for the Investigation of Unidentified Aerial Objects (CIOANI) of the 4th Air Zone. The report transmits information regarding a sighting that occurred in December 1968, provided by Áurea de Castro Belo, a 64-year-old widow residing in Petrolina. The witness reported observing two objects at a high altitude. The first object was described as having a fish-like shape with various colors, primarily iron blue, yellow, and green. The second object was described as oval and silver in color. The witness estimated the size of the objects to be approximately two meters, though she noted this was difficult to determine due to the altitude. The objects were observed in an oblique flight path. The witness reported no sound associated with the objects and noted that they appeared to have reflective surfaces. Regarding the witness's state, she reported feeling great admiration during the event and experienced a darkening of her vision after the event concluded. The investigator, 2nd Lieutenant José Mariano da Silva, noted that the witness's credibility was considered weak and that some details in the form were left incomplete due to the distance at which the objects were observed. The report confirms that no physical traces were found, as no landing occurred, and no radar or photographic evidence was available.
