"TWO PHOTOS FROM BRAZIL" (excerpt)

APRO Bulletin, November 1978

On May 12, 1976, Mr. Joshua da Silva and Mr. Cesareo Goncalves were driving Goncalves' car from Iteri to Passo Fondo, Brazil. At ten in the morning, when they were less than fifty kilometers (thirty-one miles) from Passo Fondo, near the Jacui River, da Silva noticed a silver metallic spherical object resembling the planet Saturn, teeming with rings.

Gesareo drove slowly towards him until they were next to him and he was about twenty meters (one hundred and thirty feet) away. According to their estimates, the object, which had a surface of "matte metal", was from six to eight meters (from twenty to twenty-six feet) in diameter.

Approaching the object, Goncalves stopped the car, while da Silva turned around and reached into the bag in the back seat for his Kodak Rio Camera, in which the color film was loaded.

When the car stopped, the object began to descend. Da Silva took one photo, rolled up the film and photographed another, after which the object began to move to the northeast, increasing its speed until it disappeared from sight. He disappeared in a matter of seconds.

The technical specialists of El Globo, one of Rio's newspapers, examined the negative and stated that they could not find any evidence of forgery.

It is interesting to note how closely the photos of Januszas and da Silva resemble the photos Trindadi 1957.

“TWO PHOTOS FROM BRAZIL” (excerpt)
APRO Bulletin, Nov. 1978

On the 12th of May, 1976 Mr. Joshua da Silva and Mr. Gesareo Goncalves were driving in Goncalves’ car from Iteri to Passo Fondo, Brazil. At ten A.M. when they were less than fifty kilometers (thirty-one miles) from Passo Fondo, near the Jacui River, da Silva spotted a silver metallic spherical object resembling the planet Saturn, replete with ring.

Gesareo drove slowly toward it until they were abreast and it was approximately twenty meters (one hundred and thirty feet) distant. They estimated the object which had a “brushed metal” surface to be six to eight meters (twenty to twenty six feet) in diameter.

When abreast of the object, Goncalves stopped the car while da Silva turned and fumbled in a bag in the back seat for his Kodak Rio Camera which was loaded with color film.

When the car stopped, the object began to descend. Da Silva snapped one photo, rolled the film and snapped another, whereupon the object began moving into the Northeast, increasing its speed as it went, until it was out of sight. It was gone in just seconds.

Technicians at El Globo, one of Rio’s newspapers, examined the negative and said they could find no evidence of a hoax.

It is interesting to note how closely the Janusas and da Silva photos resemble the Trindade photos of 1957.
