EDITORIAL
Hello my friends.
Once more the Brazilian Entity of Extraterrestrial Research
brings you our bimonthly International Bulletin, edition 3 -
September/October 2000.
We tried to print the bulletin, but the costs would be very
expensive. We also tried to publish the bulletin in the ADOBE
PAGEMAKER format, but nor everybody have the program, so we are
going to send by e-mail, using .TXT format.
In this edition we are you to present you the incidents
regarding UFOs in our northeast region, and also some cases in
Santa Catarina, state of Parana, and in Rondonia, state of north
of Brazil.
We are now counting with the help of some friends that do the
translations to us. In this edition, you are going to see the
great job made by Marco Aurélio Gomes Veado.
Well, that is it. We hope that you enjoy our International Bulletin.
Our best regards,

Flying saucers sightings and close encounters of the highest
grades are still disturbing the Brazilian hinterlands
José Cícero da Silva
The Brazilian hinterland is a region which retains an unique
ufologic casuistic worldwide.
In that place, for some unknown reason, there is a great
incidence of ETs which attack, hurt and sometimes kill people.
Many from the news about UFOs are, in fact, much more fantastic
than we can even conceive ourselves - at least according to the
way we usually face them.
The UFOs potentiality seem to reveal an advanced technology
which we cannot imagine or dream of, in order to be, someday,
achieved. Behind it all, they're very misterious as well.
Adilson Targino do Nascimento Silva, 11; João Batista, 14; are
some of those sightings, witnesses which has occurred in "Serra
do Mel", a town located in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, in
the brazilian hinterlands.
Some night of March, 1998, kids went out, in order to buy ice
cream and candies in a grocery nearby. It was around 9:15 PM.
When they were going back home, still on the road, Adilson
called his friends' attention to see a kind of weird star up the
sky. Promptly, they all stared it. In a few seconds, a
lightning over upon the children, at the same time, making a
sound similar to a snap, while searchlights were turning on
simultaneously. Watching it, Adilson and Jobson ran out in order
to hide under a tree next to them. Meanwhile, João Batista stood
still, like he was hipnotized, under the unidentified object
which was 10 meters remaining above the ground. Few moments
later, Jobson ran towards the object and grabed João Batista's
arm, pulling him under the tree he was hiding at.
The object was approximately 4 meters lenght and shed lightnings
in blue color from its bottom, yellow from the edges and red
from the upper reflecting all over the UFO's circunference.
Suddenly, the object started to move, flying down towards the
ground and almost touching it. Righ away, changed its course
and climbed up to the sky. When flying close to the ground, it
made sort of a wind wave, which moved the low growing grass, as
well as a lemon tree remaining by the road. About 100 meters
from the sighting location, Mrs. Odete Macena, Adilson's mother,
and Mrs. Maria, Robson's grandmother, were talking to each other
in front of their houses. Suddenly, they saw a lightning up in
the sky. Just after that, an object crossed it, flying up to
the west. Moments later, the boy arrived home, very frightned,
reported to both ladies what had happened to his and his friends
back in the road.
Another area of great ufologic incidence is the "Cariri" region,
specifically in the "Vale do Ariri", located in the state of
Ceará. The predominant place is the "Serra do Araripe", which
is an ecological area, preserved by federal laws. That site has
been often visited by extraterrestrial ships, considering many
reports and some expressive registrations detected all over the
region. Most of the incidences occurs in the location where the
"Rio Salgado" runs. Many of the residents suppose that it
happens because of the environment, since it is one of the
richest, abudant and diversified places in Ceará.
One of the ufologic facts has happened in "Diamante" - located
about 22kms (~15 miles) from the "Aurora" town - in the mids of
the 70's. During that time, an incandescent metallic sphere,
little bigger than a soccer ball, which horizontally had
crossed a house, damaging four brick walls, fortunately with no
victims. This very case has been searched by the "Grupo
Ufológico do Cariri" (GUC), which had attempted to get in touch
with the witnesses several times. Few statements were reported
by whom lived on the events, once they are afraid of their
bosses, priests or farmers' reprisal. Another reason that makes
those people refusing to divulge such phenomenons is to be
considered as crazy by the population who don't have enough
knowledgement to understand that subject's seriousness nor
accept as someting regarding the extraterrestrials.
Nevertheless, despite the adversities that involve the
extraterrestrial matter in the Brazilian northeast region, the
members of the GUG feel like there's progress regarding the
ufology, it happens mainly among the youngsters, because of the
modern means of communication nowadays. So it does contribute
itself as being more respectful by people who live in the
surroundings and, therefore could effectively redeem certain
happenings those which were still missing in time because of the
lack of a serious and sistematic work in that Region. The most
amazing occurrence of UFOs sightings that GUG has been reported
in the location called "Riacho do Bordão Velho", which links to
the county of "Santa Vitória". In that place, it's been often
registered pretty weird cases which are considered as ordinary
ones by the inhabitants. There are extraterrestrial ships
apparitions in different patterns, but the most seen ones is
similar to a cigar. The local ruralists use to called them as
"the wooden branches that fly".
TRIANGULAR UFOs - Those triangular shaped UFOs, usually happen
at the end of the day between 5 and 8 PM, coming up always to
south-north direction of the Region. According to the reports,
the UFOs generally have themselves great luminosity, plenty of
beautiful and different colors. They are even silent and,
sometimes gray colored. They've been seen in a triangular shape,
discoid and with variable speed, according to their types.
Others have the ability of being invisible just when they notice
they're observed. Some of those occurrences have been seen by
one of the GUC members, Professor Ronaldo Santos, who has
relatives living in that location. Another town, with a large
amount of ordinary ufologic events is "Missão Velha", next to
"Aurora", where the UFO researcher José Ferreira Neto lives in
and happens to be member of Group Cariri (GUC) as well.
Certain night in that very place, the Entity's President saw a
flying saucer crossing the sky. Many sightings have been
reported over there, as well as in the surroundings, like
"Caririaçu"; "Lavras da Mangueira"; "Ipamirim", "Brejo Santo";
"Abaiara"; "Milagres" and "Juazeiro do Norte". Their reports are
often sent from Ferreira Neto to GUC members. Unfortunately,
most of the cases are not divulged, nor scientifically analised
with the rigor it demands. Hopefully, other researchers may be
available in order to cooperate regarding the Region
investigations and hence give sequence to that activity, already
implemented in the Northeast Region in an intensive and full
way.

Incidents in the State of Rondonia
Currently, the State of Rondonia - with approximately one
million inhabitants, in 1995 - is considered as a place with
large ufologic incidences. Such occurrences were remarkable ever
since May and June of that mentioned year, when it could be
confirmed throughout the UFO sightings, which shows multicolor
lights as well as supposed alien ships landmarks on cottages,
located in the surroundings of the state's capital, Porto Velho.
Back in September, 1999, it has been reported two cases
envolving the people who live in the region (just like the other
cases which had happened all over the Amazon, according to
reports from other States).
The first case has happened to a team of fishers and had been
reported by Aurilene S., 28 years old at the time. She counted
that she was walking along with four other friends in order to
go fishing on the Rio Madeira. It was 2:00 PM, in the 14th of
the above mentioned month. Around 1:30 AM, Aurilene called the
others attention and they looked towards an yellow light,
similar to a Volkswagen's front light. It came from the margin
of the river. By the time, they stared such luminosity, those
who were on the boat guessed that it could be a plane, however
the girl noticed the light was standing still in the air, so she
was certain it couldn't be a plane. Suddenly the light started
to move in a manner like letter "J", vanishing afterwards.
According to her, the sky had no clouds at all, and they could
clearly see the stars.
Another similar case happened that very night. At that time it
was Beatriz T., who used to live nearby the town's airport.
Approximately 3:30 AM, in the 15th of September, she was still
awaken along with her husband. They decided going to the
backyard in order to watch the sky. Then they saw an intensive
white light just like the airplane's one before landing. "The
object did not alter its color during all the time and the
sighting last about 30 minutes long." she said.
Tower of Control - Knowing well the aerial routes over Porto
Velho, a place from where it happens several flights from
Manaus and from southern, Beatriz discarded the possibility of
being a plane nor an helicopter she and her husband had seen
that night, even though they didn't hear a sound from the
object.
According to few airport employees, who were working at the same
night, one of the regular planes attempted to land, and
communicated to the tower a sudden sighting of an object pretty
similar to the one Beatriz had described. That intriguing case
has been searched by the "Centro Rondoniense de Observações
Ufológicas" - CROU ("Rondonian Centre of Ufologic
Observations"), hold by that author, and who got this
statement from one of the plane's pilots. Rather not being
identified, that very pilot told he has seen various apparitions
of strange lights in Amazon Region and the large amount of these
cases may be just fantastic.

Observações Ufológicas" -CROU. His postal address is: Rua

Archeological sites spread throughout the country, ships
drawings and weird creatures, suggest alien visitations in
ancient times
Willy Silva
Legends of ancient and extraterrestrial civilizations, dinosaurs
footsteps, megalitic monuments, indian cemeteries and so many
other mysteries upon Earth could be easier found on the very
rich archeology from Paraíba, one of the smallest state of
Brazil (around 56,000 km²). Its ground is incredibly covered
with more than 500 catalogued archeological sites, where
pictographic inscriptions and rupestrian paintings have been
challeging, for decades, the scientific world. The "Itacoatiaras
de Ingá" , an amount of gneiss blocks on which surfaces is
sculpted hundreds of low-prominent inscriptions and is either
one of the most intriguing monoliths of the planet, according to
researchers and scholars worldwide. The "Pedra de Ingá" as it is
known, is such an amazing location that could be close to the
unreal. It is 23 meters length and 3 meters width and 3.8
meters high. That monolith is located in the "Piemonte da
Borborema" region, 84 kilometers far from João Pessoa and 30
kilometers far from Campina Grande. In the archeological site,
which is an area of approximately 2 "hectares" (~0,7 square
miles), cutted by the "Rio Ingá", there are many interpretations
about the stone monument and its fantastic symbolisms, which
remain in perfect symetrical and polished furrows.
"The spheres, crosses, spins and flat lines drawings which
appear as an enigma on the stone block, could not be slitted by
human hands", says the swiss translator, Hans Jorge Kesselring,
that subject's researcher. According to the "Ancient Astronaut
Society", whose President is Erich von Däniken, author of "Were
Gods Astronauts?", the monolith is sculpted by laser rays,
probably by extraterrestrial civilizations, technologically much
more advanced than ours. The "Pedra de Ingá" artisan - according
to astronomical studies hold by Federal University of Paraíba
(UFPb), late the 70's decade - could be made by a very ancient
people, even before the indians that portuguese had found in
Brazil during the XVI and XVII centuries. Those arts expressed
themselves through pictograph drawings, in 11 stars from Orion
Constelation. That same theory, still is up to be more
discussed, and has been documented years later by the searcher
Gilvan de Brito, in "Trip to the Unknown: Secrets of Pedrá do
Ingá".
In the "Queimadas", located over "Dona Inês" county, 72km from
"Guarabira" (region of the Paraíba swamp), inscriptions of
pictures on the rock of "Pedra do Letreiro" - more meaningful
than those from the Ingá - has been object of intensive research
hold by the UEPb, in Campina Grande. In the vertical panel, in
red colored, some impressive figures are remarkable, that could
remind us of towers, flying ships, beings from other planets,
handprints and even signs of a possible unknown calendar.
Geographer Carlos Antônio Belarmino, UEPb's professor and
post-graduated in Environment, tell us that the marks from past
were printed from indians that had populated the region. "It is
supposed that indians had contacted evolved civilizations and
therefore transmitted signs of their communications through
pictures on the stones", spoke the researcher to UFO Magazine.
According to Belarmino, the "bugres" (savage indians) who's
inhabited the swamp from Paraíba, used to paint from the
"jenipapo", "urucum" (native plants from which an ink can be
extracted) and animal blood in order to draw on the rock. It's
been more than 15,000 years ago. It is either supposed that the
location has been a kind of santuary, maybe a cult to the nature
forces. "However we still don't have much more material in
literature, which could help us to decipher such
hieroglyphics.", remark the professor, who still notices upon
the drawings some sort of sumerian and Phoenician alphabets.
The Police Clerk, Humberto Ferreira Santos, a rural property
owner in "Dona Inês", says that "Pedra do Letreiro" is pretty
much visited, mainly by foreign people. According to his
statements, there are several legends about those bizarre
pictographic drawings. Among them there's the one that is
associated to a fantastic apparition of a woman. "Neighborhood
speaks about a pretty young lady, long hair, who keeps seated on
the rocks. When someone gets closer, she disappears", he says.
In other hand, the housekeeper, Maria Nunes da Silva thinks
differently: "I suppose there is a big mine over. Beneath the
rock it's been hidden a big pot full of gold; a great fortune
indeed", she comments. She does believe in the version which
tells that beings from another planet, dressed up like
astronauts, would have buried a treasure in "Dona Inês" and
marked its localization through enchanted drawings from "Pedra
do Letreiro". "Our happiness is over there", she assures.
In the Paraíba hinterlands, more than 420 kilometers far from
seashore, there is "Sousa", distinguished as one of the most
important archeologic sites of the world, with fossilized
footprints of megafauna ("Tiranossaurus Rex", "Iguanodonte
Mantel"), with approximately 130 million years old, stucked on
the "Rio do Peixe" basin. First reports that mention about those
footprints dated from 1897 and were discovered by a resident
from a location called "Passagem das Pedras", 4 kilometers from
downtown. At first, they believed that the strange tracks would
belong to domestic pets. Partly of the "Sousa" county as well as
from 30 other locations, there are records with plenty of
footprints and fossilized tracks of more than 80 species:
pre-historical beings from the Cretaceous period - in the
"Dinossaurs Valley", protected area from the National
Paleontologic Patrimony.
In that huge area which is part of the valley, either there are
- however in shorter amount - some other findings, like
petrified rain, primitive vegetation and a pile of the megafauna
bones. Due the rupestrian paintings, they appear in the "Serrote
do Letreiro" ("Sousa") and "Serrote da Miúda" ("São Francisco"
and "Santa Cruz"). All over the region, there are many
archeologic sites, distinguishing the "Dinossaurs Valley",
"Pedra do Letreiro", "Itacoatiaras de Ingá", "Botas do
Astronauta", "Pedra do Calendário" and the "Relógio de Sol",
located in "Pilõezinhos".
CAVE IN GOIÁS - Strange unidentified flying objects, similar to
the ordinary UFOs, which were recently reported, are also shown
throughout some rupestrian paintings located in a cave over
Goiás. In the border of "Paraúna" and "Ivolândia" counties, in
southwest Goiânia, monuments and signs of a very remote age are
recorded on huge red sandstones blocks which shape the "Caverna
das Incríveis Figuras" (i.e."Incredible Figures Cavern").
Destituted of any historical information or scientific
explanation, the rupestrian drawings which remain inside the
cave, could still be interpreted from a transcendental view of
a possible civilization that inhabited the region in the past. A
cartographer from Goiás, Alódio Tovar, in the late 80's, has
written a book called, "The Paraúna Enigma - The Darkside of the
Nature", on which was reported his own perception about the cave
misterious symbols. According to him, hundreds of the tangled
figures, linked up in the "Painel Mágico" (i.e."Magic Panel") -
colored by white, red and other variations - still showing
abrasion from the time, area a synthesis of a esoteric symbology
created in approximately 10,000 years ago, which the author
decided to call as a fantastic realism.
Cabalistic figures, of labyrinths, demons, human faces and
antromorphic beings are archetypes, according to the author,
which have never been found in any other part of the world, and
they all can be found in one single archeologic site. Still in
his book, Tovar even compares the importance of the "Caverna das
Incríveis Figuras" to the uncommun geography of the drawings
from the "Nazca Plateau", in Peru, as well as with the singular
engravings in "Pedra de Ingá", in Paraíba. The environmentalist,
Antônio Carlos Volpone, searches the location of savagely
writings from Goiás and explains the strange cave drawings
according to the swiss writer Erich Von Däniken's theory, who
stated that in the ancient times, planet Earth has been visited
by flying saucers from outerspace. "The 'Incredible Figures
Cavern' could have been inhabited by man's ancestors who's
retracted on its walls, sightings of beings and unidentified
objects", says Volpone. That cave is located next to "Marilda
Farm", ran by the householder Osvaldino Borges da Silva.
Concerned about the field's drudgery, he's never got closer to
the archeologic site. It is supposed that the cave has been
discovered in the 20's, when the "Prestes Column" passed by, and
when many farmers had to look for shelters in one of the
thousands sedimentary mounts which exist all around.

The Magic Island
The Santa Catarina Island, located the city of Florianópolis, is
also called as "Ilha da Magia" (i.e."Magic Island"). There are
several ghost stories, whitches and bizarre things which enrich
its folkloric heritage - among them, there's a distinguished one
called "Luz de bota" ("Boot light"), which may has some relation
with the famous "Mãe do Ouro" ("Mother of Gold"), a phenomenon,
from the brazilian hinterlands folklore. Many people has seen
such a light, just like Mr. Nonô, who also called it as "Luz que
aparece" (i.e. "Light that shows off"). Generally, its
appearance is related to the nocturnal fishings activities, when
a small red luminosity, similar to a flaming cigarette, gets
closer to the fishermen and slowly runs while staring them out.
"It doesn't harm anyone...However, you cannot bother it", says
Mr. Nonô. "It is not a good manner lighting a match or a
cigarette, otherwise the light spins over the one's head,
sparking colorful flashes. In that particular case, it's useless
to get rid of it, since it may follow you until your house -
sometimes it may even burn the witness' skin." The "Luz que
aparece" or "Luz de botas" become small and when it lands over
the dunes or in some closer mountain, but its luminosity gets
bigger, just like a bonfire which allows to see everything
around. "Several times it keeps flickering in the air, and
afterwards, if anybody bothers it, flies up and disappears", Mr.
Nonô finishes. According to whom has seen that enigmatic
manifestation, the best protection against this mistery is to
pray - despite knowing that the light doesn't harm anyone.
Several times the phenomenon gets very close from the people -
about 10 meters. It always appears solitaire and with no exact
time to show up, sometimes keeping visible for 30 minutes,
moving from one to other place. Regarding the name's origin, it
came from the fact that light projects a shadow below, which
suggests a boot shape. And since it generally hovers for about
one meter high, the shadow seems to touch the ground, just like
a light over the walking boot on the sand of the beach.
