UFO sightings in the area of Brazil over the six States (one of the witnesses in the state of ceará) on 13 may 1960 at 19:00.

They say that over one hundred witnesses observed a dark grey round vessel with a diameter of 20 metres with a powerful light, maneuvering and hovering in the sky.

The next day, about 4 o'clock in the morning, a farmer named Raimondo Solino (or Raimundo DOS Santos, or maybe Sulina Raimundo DOS Santos) reportedly saw two not described of the ship, standing on the beach (or, depending on the version that landed on the slope of a hill) on a farm called Capin Acu in Paracuru, in the same state of Brazil.

He approached him at an indefinite distance, and saw several small "entities", similar to humans, but pale skin which was in blue with white helmets.

These "entities" have made him a friendly gesture, but he got scared and ran away.

He later returned with others, and reportedly had traces (not described) from these vessels.

In most descriptions that were subsequently published in the UFO literature, never mentions that these "entities" were in blue with white helmets, and apparently, no one considered the possibility that the witness could not recognize two military helicopters, installed at night on a certain distance.

Original news

UFO sightings in a six-states area of Brazil on May 13, 1960, one of which in the state of Ceara, when at 7 p.m., more than one hundred witnesses are said to have observed a dark gray and circular craft, 20 meters in diameter, with a powerful light, maneuvering and hovering in the sky. The next day, around 4 a.m., a farmer named Raimondo Sulino, or Raimundo dos Santos or maybe Raimundo Sulino dos Santos, reportedly saw two craft, not described, posed on the beach, or, depending on the versions, landing on the hill close to a farm called Capin Acu in Paracuru, in this same state of Brazil.
He approached until some unspecified distance, and saw several small “entities”, of human appearance, of pale skins, who were in blue uniforms with white helmets. These “entities” made friendly gestures at him, but he was frightened and run away. He came back later with other men, and traces, not described, allotted to these craft were reportedly found. The majority of the summaries published afterwards in the ufological literature do not mention anymore that these “entities” were in blue uniforms with white helmets and apparently nobody considered the possibility that the witness might have failed to recognize two military helicopters posed in the night at a certain distance.

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Airplane / Helicopter

An aircraft heavier than air for flights in the atmosphere (and outer space (e.g. An orbital aircraft)), using the aerodynamic lift of a glider to keep itself in the air (when flying within the atmosphere) and the thrust of a power (propulsion) installation for maneuvering and compensating for the loss of total mechanical energy to drag. 



A rotorcraft in which the lift and thrust required for flight are created by one or more main rotors powered by an engine or several engines. They differ in maneuverability, the ability to hover and almost vertical takeoff.
