Behind the wheel of the minibus driver, Jose da Silva and three passengers were listening to the radio in a light rain when they suddenly heard a buzzing sound and noticed a diffused light over the road. 

Suddenly, the van rose into the air to a height of about 50 cm and stopped there for a moment, immediately descending and rising again into the air. Soon he was put back on the road, this time more slowly. 

Then the men noticed a brightly glowing circular object hovering more than 100 meters above their heads. Terrified people watched the van with an object that they described as only about 2 meters in diameter, with several porthole-like holes in its lower part where you could see shadows or movement passing behind them. A reddish light came from the top of the object.

The UFO remained motionless for several minutes, and then tilted at an angle and disappeared towards the sea. 

After this incident, all four suffered from vomiting. One of the men lost all the hair on his eyebrows, da Silva, who had abundant hair, became bald in less than a year. A circular burnt-out area was found on the roof of the minibus.
