This document is an intelligence report (Informação N.º 230-B/73) issued by the Department of Political and Social Order (DEOPS) of the São Paulo Public Security Secretariat, dated February 25, 1973. It compiles sworn statements from several educators and a priest regarding a series of sightings of an unidentified aerial phenomenon on the municipal road between Ubirajara and Gália, specifically near the Ribeirão Vermelho bridge. The sightings occurred between August and November 1972. Witnesses, including Durval Chaves do Carmo, Padre James Lage Pessoa, Lourdes Fátima Madeira, and Ezaldivar Humberto Borghi, described observing a circular, pulsating object, approximately 60 to 100 centimeters in diameter, which emitted a reddish-orange or yellow light. The object was reported to hover at low altitudes (1-2 meters) and perform complex horizontal and vertical maneuvers. Witnesses consistently described the object as 'unidentified' and 'strange,' noting that it did not behave like any known vehicle. The report also includes a compilation of other UFO-related news clippings from the 'Sociedade Pelotense de Investigação e Pesquisa de Discos Voadores' (SPIPDV), covering various incidents in Brazil and abroad, including reports of 'balls of fire,' cattle mutilations, and strange phenomena in the Cassino beach area. The document provides a detailed record of the testimonies, emphasizing the consistency of the reports among the witnesses who observed the phenomenon on different occasions.
