THE NEW “A.V.B.” CASE FROM BRAZIL: FULL ACCOUNT

This document provides a comprehensive account of a UFO sighting and alleged abduction incident involving 18-year-old José Inácio Álvaro in Pelotas, Brazil, in March 1978. The report, authored by Luiz do Rosário Real of the SPIPDV UFO Investigation Group, details the events surrounding the night of March 2-3, 1978. On the evening of March 2, numerous residents of Pelotas reported seeing a large, luminous, round object in the sky, which was accompanied by a halo and caused localized electrical failures. José Inácio Álvaro, who had been interested in UFO literature, was one of the witnesses. Following the incident, Álvaro experienced significant psychological distress and memory gaps. To investigate these 'missing time' events, the SPIPDV conducted two sessions of hypnotic regression, led by Dr. Palmor Brandão Carapeços and Dr. Pedro Reis Louzada, respectively. During these sessions, Álvaro described being taken by non-human entities into a craft, where he was subjected to an examination and interacted with a female entity. The document includes transcripts of these sessions, where Álvaro describes the interior of the craft, the entities' appearance, and the nature of his interaction. The report also notes that physical evidence, such as crushed grass, was found at the site where Álvaro claimed to have been abducted. Despite initial reluctance to publicize the event, the case gained local attention, and the investigator emphasizes the witness's credibility and the consistency of his accounts. The document concludes with additional reports of UFO sightings in the region during the same period, reinforcing the broader context of the incident.
