TL;DR

A 1970 police report from Caconde, Brazil, documents a one-hour sighting of a rounded, spotlight-equipped aerial object by a night watchman and two police soldiers. The report was forwarded to the Brazilian Air Force's SIOANI project for investigation.

This document is an official sighting report (Case Q88) submitted by the Police Delegation of Caconde, São Paulo, to the Brazilian Air Force's Center for the Investigation of Unidentified Aerial Objects (SIOANI). The report concerns an incident that occurred on March 20, 1970, at 4:50 AM. The primary witness, Caetano Sérgio dos Santos, a private night watchman, reported observing a rounded object hovering near a local soccer field for approximately one hour. The object was described as having a spotlight that emitted white light, and the witness gained the impression that the object was performing a reconnaissance of the area. The report notes that the witness was accompanied by two local police soldiers, Nilton Pereira de Souza and José Mário Morais, who also witnessed the event. The document includes a detailed questionnaire regarding the observer's background, the environmental conditions at the time of the sighting, and the characteristics of the object. The observer reported that the sky was clear with few clouds and no wind. The object eventually disappeared slowly toward the east. The reporting officer, Police Delegate Oswaldo Cândido de Souza, noted that the questionnaire was completed to the best of the observer's ability, though some items remained unanswered. The document also confirms that the witness had previously been examined by Dr. Walter Buhler of the Brazilian Society for the Study of Flying Discs (SBEDV).
