(Peter ZS2ABF): My contact in South America the editor of the Brazilian UFO
Magazine has just sent me this latest information.
I have listed it below. It should prove interesting reading.
Comments please (that I may publish in OUR News letter)
*********** ************** **********
Location: Brazil - South America.
Source: Editor Brazilian UFO Magazine.
Witnesses: Hundreds.
On Friday, February 08th, I took a second trip to Riolândia, in the far
Northwestern region of São Paulo State, by the banks of the Rio Grande, just
between the States of São Paulo and Minas Gerais, where a wave of UFO events
has been occurring since January 20th, as I explained on my first partial
report, resulted from my first trip, on January 26th.
For further information, articles and pictures, go to: www.ufo.com.br and
www.ufo.com.br/public/riolandia/.
It all started with the sighting of a huge UFO at the premises of Piapara Inn,
at 3 am, January 20th, followed by a mysterious crushing of plants on a nearby
sugar cane plantation. A UFO is believed to have been involved in this
phenomenon. Facts involving UFOs are still being reported in the town of
Riolândia, increasingly so day after day. This time I spent two days in that
town and heard the testimony of witnesses who saw the luminous phenomena,
which suddenly began to happen in broad daylight, as well. I took many
snapshots of people who were involved in the incident and could sense the
state of real commotion in the city.
Even though I believe I am a rather experienced UFO researcher, with over 30
years of activity in Ufology, I feel increasingly amazed by what is happening
in Riolândia, and I must admit that very seldom have I seen such an intense,
long-lasting and legitimate UFO commotion. The phenomena that have been
occurring there affect people from all walks of life, some of whom are highly
respected in the city.
Here follows a brief updating on the Riolândia Situation so that you can be
generally aware of it:
1. In the evening immediately after the January 20th sighting, on several
occasions, witnesses from all walks of life, alerted by the situation at
Piapara Inn, have been spending hours scanning the skies in Riolândia and the
area around it. Many of them have seen near- and far-off luminous phenomena,
almost always spherical and predominantly of an intense blue to red color. The
Inn dwellers are the ones who have witnessed the greater number of mysterious
lights, and the proprietor's family, fearful of what is happening, is actually
considering abandoning their business and moving away.
2. A very amazing incident occurred on the night of February 06-07th, when a
light, at first in the distance, and then suddenly closer performed sinuous
moves above a sugar cane plantation nearby the city. The phenomenon was
captured on film and witnessed by over a dozen people in different places both
in the urban area and in the countryside. One of those witnesses was a high
school teacher, Ms Ruth Probio and her family, among whom her son Pedro
Henrique, 10, who has filmed the phenomenon. The light was visible from late
dawn till 8 am, February 07th.
3. Less than 24 hours later, on the night of February 07-08th, another
astonishing apparition was seen at Piapara Inn, where it all began. This is
the most spectacular incident reported there, and it involved once again the
owner of the Inn, Maurício Pereira da Silva, and his brother Antonio Pereira
da Silva. They were both night-watching on the southern side of the premises,
as they'd been doing since the January 20th encounter, when they saw a real
light show. Three huge disk-shaped objects were seen approaching them, flying
in formation. Then three more objects joined them, though they were
sphere-shaped and smaller. This phenomenon lasted over an hour, during which
time five of the objects (the 3 disk-shaped ones and 2 of the spherical
lights) came down close to the nearby sugar cane plantation (not the same one
that had been affected on January 20th) and appeared to be "scanning the whole
area, in search of something", according to Maurício. The two brothers' family
went into a panic, and the phenomenon caused great distress in the city.
4. All day long, on Friday, February 08th, several ufologists, experts,
journalists and curiosity-seekers kept coming in with their equipment to the
Inn, to investigate the incident and do some night-watching. These include
attorney Gener Silva, engineer Jorge Nery, both consultants for Brazilian UFO
Magazine, and other members of the Instituto de Astronomia e Pesquisas
Espaciais (Inape) (Institute for Astronomy and Space Research), from Araçatuba
(SP). Also present on the same occasion were the electronic technician
Cristian Dionízio de Oliveira, job security technician Sivaldo Daniel Pereira,
both UFO researchers from Valentim Gentil (SP). This editor came in just in
time, after a some 500 miles trip, along with information technology and
support expert for Brazilian UFO Magazine Ismael Vieira and two students,
Michel and Thiago Vieira. On that very same day, we stood on night-watch from
9 pm till 4:30 am, when a professional cameraman was able to record and film a
luminous phenomenon that moved about for several minutes over the area. Its
origins could not have been ascribed to natural causes. They all testified to
the incident to Brazilian UFO Magazine. Next morning, ufologists Paulo Poian
and Robert Beck, both consultants for Brazilian UFO Magazine, and Herbert
Bruggemann (he and Beck being members of the Entidade Brasileira de Estudos
Extraterrestres (EBE-ET) (Brazilian Center for Extraterrestrial Studies), from
Brasília, arrived for some more night-watching (see below).
5. Simultaneously to the phenomenon seen at the Inn, on the night of February
8th, more than 7 miles away from that place, on a dirt road closer to town,
dozens of people were gathered together and saw another astoundingly bright
light flying over a sugar cane plantation. This phenomenon was also captured
on film by Paulo Henrique, Ms Ruth Probio's son, who was handling the family
camera. The city folks began to exchange information the night before and
would summon each other so they could all get together on the site and see the
light, as the night view of the sky at the specific spot is magnificent. This
collective sighting was astounding and it occurred almost at the very same
time as the previous phenomenon, recorded during night-watching at the inn
(above). If the city were still torn between mixed feelings as to the nature
of the UFO phenomena that had been occurring there, that sighting, witnessed
by people from different segments in the municipality, put an end to all
doubts. Nothing is more discussed nowadays in Riolândia than this, and the
number of witnesses keeps growing each day.
6. On the night of February 09-10th, a new group of people gathered for
night-watching at Piapara Inn, made up of city folks, curiosity-seekers and
some of the participants from the previous night-watch. Only two people,
however, stayed to watch the skies beyond 4 am, Brazilian UFO Magazine
consultant Paulo Poian and student Thiago Vieira. At 5:05 am, they saw another
luminous phenomenon over the very same sugar cane plantation, south of the
Inn, where the six objects had appeared, previously. Only this time the
encounter was somewhat closer, less than 200 m from the witnesses. A spherical
and intensely bright object came down to the vegetation and remained there
awhile, in spite of the falling rain. This editor left the Inn to drive back
to Campo Grande (MS) at 6 am and, as I drove by Riolândia, about 9 miles away,
I collected reports from several town dwellers who claimed that, in spite of
the rain, new sightings occurred that night in the city's urban area.
7. All day long, on Sunday, February 10th, UFO incidents were reported as
having occurred the previous night in the town of Valentim Gentil, about 45
miles from Riolândia. The aforementioned UFO researchers Cristian Dionízio de
Oliveira and Sivaldo Daniel Pereira (the latter a witness of several
encounters himself) are currently collecting information that will eventually
be sent to Brazilian UFO Magazine and claim that there is a great number of
witnesses also in that area. The same thing has occurred in the towns of
Fernandópolis and Votuporanga, neighboring cities to Valentim Gentil,
alongside Route SP-320 and about 15 miles apart from each other. Fernandópolis
and Votuporanga are about 45 to 60 miles away from Riolândia, and have also
had their share of luminous phenomena recorded, whose characteristics are yet
to be studied.
8. Still on the same Sunday (10th), in the afternoon, an attendant working for
the only service station in the small city saw in the sky a metallic object
with lights, right in front of his house. Fernando Alves de Souza was
accompanied by his wife, kids and in-laws when they all saw, in broad
daylight, at 4 pm, two smaller luminous spheres being expelled from the larger
object. The larger and the smaller objects began to fly in unison, following
an unknown route. The incident is being investigated by ufologist Roberto
Beck, special consultant for Brazilian UFO Magazine, who is staying in the
city, waiting for the next developments. The service station attendant called
several citizens of Riolândia so they too would see the phenomenon, which
considerably increased the number of witnesses.
9. Still on the night of February 10th, Sunday, Mr. Ibrantino José Ribeiro,
his grandson Augusto Ribeiro da Silva, only 13, and a woman were driving back
to town, from Piapara Inn, when they saw two phenomena. As soon as they had
driven out of the Inn, heading for Riolândia, and took the short unpaved road,
Augusto called everyone's attention to a luminous white object that was flying
above the sugar cane plantation. The boy was nearly begging his grandfather to
not stop the car, because he was frightened, and they drove on. When they were
closer to town, about 6 miles ahead, they saw the phenomenon again, but this
time it was an intense red light, cutting across the road. UFO researcher Beck
is interviewing new witnesses in the town, including a group of people who
claim that there is a place in Riolândia where you can see those objects in
broad daylight, everyday, between 3 and 5 pm
10. As can be seen, the Riolândia UFO incidents increase in number and
intensity every day. Amidst this commotion, Brazilian UFO Magazine has been
compiling expressive numbers. We have been informed of at least 6 individual
filmings of luminous phenomena, carried out by different people, two of which
are within our archives already. We have nearly 30 witnesses that have been
contacted and interviewed, besides an estimated number from 300 to 400
witnesses in every city that has been affected, and many more are still being
contacted. We have assembled a great amount of reports and a lot of material
for publication. We are going to have a lot of work to do, getting all pieces
together, but the above-mentioned ufologists and a few others are helping up
with their data, turning this into a major operation in UFO research, of a
phenomenon that is still going on.
As a final note, we would like to report that the authorities in some of those
cities in northwestern São Paulo State are really concerned with the
situation, especially the mayor of Riolândia, to the point of requesting the
presence of UFO researches in the area. This has never been seen to happen
before. Brazilian UFO Magazine, through its members, is playing its role,
talking to people, interviewing witnesses, going and checking places,
examining evidence and consulting with experts from different fields of study,
so as to be able to rule out the possibility that the recorded phenomena are
natural.

(Peter - ZS2ABF) : Steve Murillo Mufon, LA, USA State Director, sent me this
and I thought you might like to know there is yet another book out on UFO's.
MUFON LOS ANGELES
George L. Speaking on "The Alien Mind"
George LoBuono is a writer and investigative researcher living in
Davis, California. After studying U.S. History in graduate school, he
traveled the world and worked as a freelance reporter and essayist. An
author of books on various topics, his latest book, Alien Mind - a Primer,
quotes human contactees and informative aliens in a startling new
exploration of their thoughts and assumptions.
George's book is a compilation and analysis of various sources of
information on aliens, treated in the manner of Jim Marrs. It is enhanced by
LoBuono's knowledge of science and astrophysics, and complimented by his own
interactions with aliens. These telepathic encounters began in 1995 and
eventually involved communication with advanced aliens that George calls
"hyperversals." LoBuono's research and experience enable him to provide an
extensive overview of this subject. His Power Point presentation will cover
the aliens' concerns about "universal ecology" and their propensity for
group think. George Noory called the author "an expert" on how aliens think.
Best regards,
Steve R. Murillo
State Section Director

(Peter ZS2ABF): Here follows two sightings submitted by fellow radio hams
There True identities have been with held, as requested.
1)
Sighting: Ordsall, Nottinghamshire, England.
Appearence of Object: Tubular
Date: 1961
Witnesses: 2
Hello again Peter,
I can only ever remember seeing one thing that I could classify as a UFO
in the sence of believing that it was certainly extr-terrestrial and that
was just a few weeks before I left school. I guess those of us who saw it
were all of similar opinions on the matter. It was an afternoon in late
spring, a warm clear daywith very little cloud about. What we saw appeared
to be tubular in shape with a taper at both ends, I suppose you might call
it Cigar shaped. It was clearly a dark colour and longer than any aircraft
that was around at the time. I couldn't estimate how high it was, but it
was close enough to be able to hear that it was making a sound. Thinking
about it now, i would say it was slightly higher pitched than 50Hz mains
humm that is familiar to many of us, particularly in the UK, that we would
hear from a transformer under load. It just seemed to be "hanging"
motionless, but obviously was moving because as we watched it the sound
became fainter and it looked to be getting smaller then quite suddenly it
moved very quickly straight over where we were standing and dissapeared at
very high speed.
We told our science teacher about it and he said that he didn't doubt our
story and said he was not prepared to try and offer any expaination
because he believed that it was very likely that such things as "Flying
saucers" did exist. Ever since then, I have been of the firm opinion, that
it would be extremely arrogant of mankind to assume that this planet is
the only one in this or other universes to be inhabited by intelligent
life and that somewhere it is a safe bet that there are life forms with
far greater technical advances than we can understand.
After receiving this first information I sent a Packet Radio message to him
asking for more details and permission to print his story.
Additional information receieved:
The other details as best I can remember them are:-
Date time etc. It would have been around the middle to later half of May 1961.
I was 13 years old at the time. The place I remember very well
and the time is easy as we were on our way home from school. School
finished at 16:00 hrs local time so it would have been around 15 or 20
minutes after 16:00. we were stood on a railway bridge just outside a
village named ORDSALL, Near RETFORD, nottinghamshire, England.
I have checked the longitude and latitude using ms autoroute and it says
it is latitude 53.312 degrees North, longitude 0.956 degrees west. The
railway bridge on Ordsall road. There are (typical of the UK) a couple of
other places called Ordsall so don't confuse them if you search for it on
a map, or the internet :-)
The height I couldn't say really, I doubt if my perseption of height at
that age was particularly good, but lower than we used to see aircraft
flying and they were the old propellor aircraft back then. Size
comparison, again I can only estimate but if my arm was outstretched and
thumb extended, my thumb would only have masked a small part of the
object, maybe a third of it at most.
By the way, crazy or not, I also believe in the existance of other,
sometimes considered canky things, like paranormal activity, ghosts,
spirits etc. I have good reason to, I have had some strange experiences
that have no other expaination.
Regards,
"Maurice of Ordsall who in later years went on
to become an Amateur Radio Operator".

2)
Location: Salisbury plain- Military Training ground
Sighting: On UFO But trucks Stopped.
Witnesses: Entire Military Convoy
Peter,
Offered on the basis of anonymity. Years ago, whilst in the army, I was
the lead provost nco in a convoy on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire. ALL
vehicles were electrically driven, it was a night-time excersise. The
convoy was moving slowly across the plain when suddenly, without warning,
ALL engines stopped and headlights went out. It was eerie and for a full
TEN minutes all was silent.
Here in England we have the Official Secrets Act. The next day a *D*
notice was issued. The matter was never discussed NOT by anyone.
(Peter: A "D" notice is UK's Top security restriction punishable by (Big, Big
Trouble)
I have aired my theories on a few occasions to those interested, but they
are only theories but if my inquiries reveal the truth, UFOs have been re
visiting Earth for thousands of years and, in certain places, have been
made welcome.
Best wishes.(fellow UK ham)
