UFO APARITION SCARES PILOT

A gigantic ship was seen by people from Pelotas flying over Lagoa dos Patos, near S. Jose do Norte

Last Saturday, around 09:30Am, the entrepreuner and amateur pilot, Haroldo Wetendorff, 39, reported having seen, together with a radio station operator from Pelotas Airport, Airton Mendes da Silva, 2 friends, a gigantic space ship, that he compares, in dimension, to a soccer stadium, from which a smaller ship emerged. According to him, the fact hapenned over Lagoa dos Patos, near Sao Jose do Norte. The entrepreneur explains that it was a piramidal shaped ship, about 40 to 50 meters in height, with a dome on the top, from where a smaller ship emerged taking off vertically. Right after that, the ship also disappeared in high speed. Westendorff said that in 20 years in aviation he had never seen anything similar, being a skeptic about UFOs. He said that he circled around the ship twice, not hearing any noise.

The pilot thought it was strange the lack of air displacement when the ship departed. He explains that he contacted Pelotas Airport, from where Airton was able, through a binoculus, confirm his report. "It is hard to tell a case that many won't believe," he explains, "but I didn't see any alien beings."

For those who don't know, Lagoa dos Patos is the biggest lake in Brazil, at southeast of Rio Grande do Sul. Some time ago, an airplane from FAB (Brazilian Air Force) dived into the Lake for unknown reasons. The airplane was never found.

Please send this new to the UFO world this big notice!

Another UFO sighting in Brasil, now in Pelotas, near Lagoa dos Patos,near Sao Jose do Norte, South of the country, a man saw a gigantic (= soccer stadium !) UFo mothership and a little one went out of the bigger.
The new was published by Jornal Correio do POvo, 10 october 96, page 18.

Last saturday, nearby 09 : 30 AM, the aviator Haroldo Westendorff, 39 years old said he saw, with another radium operator from the Pelotas Airport staff, Airton Mendes da Silva, more 2 coleagues, a very big mothership he says more or less the size of a soccer stadium.From this bigger went out another one, not too large. They said the sighting occurred above the Lagoa dos Patos, near S Jose do Norte. Westendorff said the mothership had a pyramidal shape, 40 or 50 meters high, with a cupule above, from where the smaller spaceshipe went out, flying vertically, high speed.
Westendorff said, also, he never saw this in 20 years of his job, he said he is skeptical about UFOs. He told he walk around the mothership twice, and heared no noise. It seemed satrnge to him, also, the mothership had no air "deslocamento "(=in english!? :when someone shut a door violently and the air moves around, more or less this...)without this "ddeslocamento"when the ship began to flight. Westendorff made a contact with the Pelotas Airport, where Airton can verify with a "binoculo"(= ?! in english: the skill to grow visually the things, it is black and we use it to watch skies, and people use it when go to sweepstake...). Airton saw the mothership: ït's hard to tell an affair that many people will don't believe", he explains, "but I saw no aliens".
