Hello. This is for your information. The info below is a compilation of reports that suddenly appeared from different sources, about what seems to be a UFO crash occurred just 12 days ago in Mato Grosso State, in Brazil's Mid-West. The reports involve local political authorities, such as a state representative and a municipal Secretary of Industry and Commerce. *** Please forward this info. *** ============================================== UFO CRASH IN MATO GROSSO, BRAZIL, ON JULY 1st, 1997 *** This is from the paper "Correio Braziliense", which circulates in Brasilia, Brazil's federal capital : [ Wednesday, July 09 th, 1997 ] "ETs - ROSWELL CASE IN THE BRAZILIAN STYLE" "CUIABA", MATO GROSSO - Brazil also has already its Roswell Case (the crash of an alleged alien ship in a ranch in New Mexico, USA, in 1947). Although it happened in the night of last July 1st, the report of the crash of an unidentified flying object (UFO) at Teresopolis, district of the county of Nova Brasilandia, 300 kilometers northeast of Cuiaba', came only yesterday to Cuiaba', State of Mato Grosso capital. And it became news due to the surprise it provoked to a former Mato Grosso's state representative, Isaias Rezende, who is owner of a ranch close to Mr. Divino Fogoio's ranch, where the object would has crashed. The former representative has been in the region and became astonished with the suspense atmosphere that gained the locals. On Monday [July 7th, 1997], two journalism teams from Cuiaba', together with the Fire Dept., unsuccessfully tried to enter the Divino Fogoio's ranch. But the farmer told them he could allow the access only to personnel authorized by Brazil's federal government. Mr. Fogoio, however, confirms the reports from people who saw an incandescent object caving in over the region, causing a "tremendous bang", that not only has shaked his house but also was heard in a distance of over 100 km [62 miles]. " *** And this is from the paper "Jornal do Brasil", which circulates in the city of Rio de Janeiro : [ Reported by Jose' Calixto de Alencar, from "Agencia JB" ] [ Wednesday, July 09 th, 1997 ] " (...) Many people told that they have witnessed the incandescent object caving in over the region, producing a "great bang". (...) The farmer [Mr. Fogoio] told he has observed the object for 6 minutes, before it crashed. The cowboy Gilberto Braga, who lives in Nova Brasilandia, was the only who had courage to touch the object. "It seems an iron ball, bigger than a tractor, that released an odd smell", describes the cowboy. Residents of the region are concerned about a possible contamination of the herd or of the population who lives at the riverside, by the UFO, once the crash site lies at the banks of Manso River. "It was a disc-shaped object, with an intense light", told Mr. Claudio Picci, Nova Brasilandia's municipal Secretary of Industry and Commerce." *** And back again to the report from the paper "Correio Braziliense" : "A team of AMPUP - State of Mato Grosso Association for UFO and Parapsychological Research - decided to visit the place. According to the local ufologist, Mrs. Marcy Neto, since 1978 the group records the appearance of UFOs in the Chapada dos Guimaraes [Guimaraes Plateau] region. " *** And finally, the letter below is from Victor Lourenco's lourenco@interlog.com mailing list in portuguese, at Internet. The original source is the Brazilian ufologist Pedro Cunha pplfilho@nutecnet.com.br from Brasilia, who received this letter from Mrs. Marcy Monteiro Neto, AMPUP's Vice-President. "Cuiaba", July 9th, 1997. Dear friend : Firstly I have to apologize for the delay in replying your e-mail. Well, as we'd informed previously, an object crashed at the county of Nova Brasilandia, MT [state of Mato Grosso]. At yesterday's dawn we left Cuiaba in order to try to locate the object. I'll sum up quickly to you what we've investigated. We arrived at the city of Nova Brasilandia around 8,00 AM [July 08 th, 1997]. We interviewed several people, who told us the fact in the same way. According to witnesses, in the night of July 1st, 1997, an object flied over the city, giving light to the sky. Soon after the sighting, a noise was heard, like of an explosion, and the object crashed. We took about 5 hours searching the farm where allegedly would be the object. The info we have been given were mistaken. Everybody knew of the happenings, but didn't inform the crash site. After we've almost lost ourselves in the land roads that looked like mazes, we decided to return, because some people of our group were feeling very bad due to the trip and we'd an appointment at our city. Arriving back in Cuiaba, the local papers were already publishing the fact as authentic. A television crew arrived at the ranch but was not allowed inside. The owner of the ranch denied he had witnessed the object, but the ranch's overseer stated he [overseer] saw the object, touched it and told he didn't stand much time closeby due to the smell of the artifact. He also said the object is black, whether it's metal or concrete is not known, and it is the size of a truck. We have been invited by many local papers to provide information about the happenings. The issue appeared in the front page of Cuiaba's major papers. Minutes ago, the president of AMPUP, Ataide Ferreira S. Neto, phoned me from Gazeta TV Network. He informed the object was found and that the press was already going to the place. The Gazeta Network, which since the beginning is covering the case, is negotiating a chopper to, together with Ataide, arrive at the place. There are rumours that a plane hired by Globo TV Network [N. from T.: the major TV network in Brazil] is also flying over the site in an attempt to find some vestiges of the UFO crash. Well, up to the moment these are the information I can provide you. In the next hours I shall have more news. Marcy O. Monteiro Neto. Vice-President, AMPUP.
