UFOLOGIA NACIONAL & INTERNACIONAL, N. 4/85

This document is the 4/85 issue of 'UFOLOGIA NACIONAL & INTERNACIONAL', a Brazilian magazine dedicated to the study of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UFOs/OVNIs). The publication serves as a central repository for sighting reports, research, and organizational news from the Centro para Pesquisas de Discos Voadores (CPDV). A significant portion of the document is dedicated to official military procedures for handling UFO reports, specifically those issued by the Ministry of Aeronautics' First Integrated Air Defense and Air Traffic Control Center (CCTA). These procedures mandate that air traffic controllers and radar supervisors document sightings, record radar data, and collect meteorological information. The document includes a specific incident report from August 22, 1985, involving a sighting near the Foz do Iguaçu airport, where a 3rd Sergeant reported an orange, plate-shaped object with a 'tail' and a triangular top section. The magazine also features extensive debates regarding the controversial Eduard Meier case, including analyses of photographs and the alleged involvement of extraterrestrial entities. Furthermore, the publication discusses the 'Salyut 6' incident involving Soviet cosmonauts, reports on animal mutilations in North America, and provides a directory of various UFO research groups operating in Brazil. The editorial stance is one of advocacy for the scientific study of UFOs, criticizing the lack of academic and governmental interest in the subject while promoting the existence of the SIOANI (System for the Investigation of Unidentified Aerial Objects) within the Brazilian Air Force. The magazine emphasizes the need for professionalization in ufology and calls for the opening of official government archives regarding these phenomena.
