On Sunday, September 8, 1996, a triangular UFO landed at
Piracicaba, in the coffee-growing region of the state of Sao
Paulo. Several people saw it touch down. A hatch opened, and
three occupants floated to the ground. Witnesses described the
occupants as approximately 50 centimeters (1 foot, 10 inches)
tall, wearing a coverall garment and with heads "very large and
far out of proportion to their bodies."
On Tuesday, September 10, 1996, a domed saucer with
flashing lights was seen in the night sky over Guarabira, in the
state of Paraiba, in the Brazilian "Sertao" or Northeast. Local
ufologist Oriel Farias described the UFO as "very similar to the
one seen in Brasilia last week." Guarabira has been ground
zero for an ongoing UFO flap that began on April 5.
On Wednesday, September 11, 1996, residents of
Guarabira were startled by an overflight of "several small gray
saucers," about the size of a volleyball. The UFOs careened
through the late evening sky and were videotaped by several
people, including members of the Paraiba UFO study group.
According to Oriel Farias, this group now has over 16 hours
of videotape on the UFOs of Guarabira. (Unsolicited Email)
