Transcription of Occurrence in Mission Order Report - Unidentified Aerial Object

This document collection contains a series of military communications and related materials concerning Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) in Brazil and the United States. The primary document is a confidential report from the Base Aérea do Salvador, dated December 23, 1977, detailing a sighting by the crew of a C-95 aircraft (tail number 2162) on December 16, 1977. While returning to Salvador, the crew was informed by air traffic control in Vitória of an unidentified object approximately 20 miles away at 20,000 feet. The controller, observing with binoculars alongside seven other people, described the object as a 'mothership' surrounded by smaller craft performing 180-degree turns. The crew of the C-95 observed a large, star-colored ball that changed in size and brightness. The report was forwarded through military channels to the Comando Geral do Ar. The collection also includes correspondence from 1977 between the Brazilian Air Force and an American citizen, Ann Schwinn, regarding her submission of UFO-related materials, including literature from the 'UFO Education Center' in Appleton, Wisconsin. These materials promote the experiences of George Adamski and his successor, Charlotte Blob, and include claims about extraterrestrial visitations, free energy, and historical sightings. Additionally, the file contains a 1977 letter from the U.S. Air Force to a reporter, Bob Pratt, regarding UFO incidents near Malmstrom AFB in 1975, along with extracts from the 24th NORAD Region Senior Director Log. These logs detail multiple sightings of unidentified objects near missile sites in Montana in November 1975, involving reports of red, orange, and yellow lights, and objects that appeared to react to the presence of interceptor aircraft. The document concludes with a newspaper clipping from the 'Jornal de Brasília' regarding a luminous object causing fear in Maranhão, Brazil, in 1977.
