TL;DR

On June 20, 1978, multiple military personnel at the DPV-DT/61 detachment in Brasília observed an unidentified luminous object with extraordinary flight characteristics. The incident caused significant alarm among staff, and despite official investigations and reports, the object remained unidentified and was not captured on radar.

This document is a formal report from the Commander of the DPV-DT/61 detachment, 2nd Lieutenant João Bernardo Vieira, regarding a series of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sightings at the Sítio do Gama facility in Brasília on the night of June 20, 1978. The report details that at approximately 20:30 hours, the detachment's guard commander, 3rd Sergeant F. Lopes, reported a luminous object hovering over the facility, causing panic among the personnel. Lieutenant Vieira immediately initiated security measures and proceeded to the site. Upon arrival, he confirmed the sightings with several personnel, including 3rd Sergeant Odilon, Soldier Pedro, and a security guard named Souza. The witnesses described an object with intense, diffuse luminosity that changed colors—specifically shifting between red and yellow—and exhibited extraordinary speed and maneuverability. The object was reported to move silently and, at times, appeared to remain stationary before suddenly changing direction or disappearing. The report notes that the night was clear with perfect visibility. Despite the intense visual observations, the object was not detected by the Air Defense radar systems. The detachment personnel also reported suspicious activity, including the throwing of stones at the facility, which led the commander to order warning shots from a HK-33 rifle to deter potential intruders, though no one was found. The document includes individual reports from various personnel who witnessed the event, all of whom corroborated the presence of the luminous object. The official conclusion of the report states that the phenomenon was not an aircraft, could not be identified, showed no signs of hostility, and was not an optical illusion. The report was subsequently forwarded to the CINDACTA command for further analysis.
