The UFO incident that occurred over Brazil in 1986 will be presented at a hearing on UFOs in the Brazilian Senate. A series of UFO sightings, dubbed "UFO Night," was made public this week ahead of a hearing in the Brazilian Senate on the UFO phenomenon.


It all started on the evening of May 19, 1986, when an air traffic controller of the Brazilian Air Force, Sergeant Sergio Mota da Silva, saw a light in the sky from an airport control tower near Sao Paulo.

"He didn't go up or down, didn't move left or right, he just stood there," he said.

He added that it was not a plane and the UFO seemed to be behaving "reasonably."


Then that same night, around 8 p.m., about 2,000 cadets and officers of the Air Force Training School witnessed mysterious lights in the sky in the same area.


An hour later, the pilot of the plane reported multiple lights when landing at the same airport. Two passenger planes in the area also reported witnessing the same phenomenon.


These reports of a potential invasion of Brazilian airspace were taken so seriously that planes were lifted into the air to intercept objects, but the pilots had problems detecting them.

"Sometimes the pilots had visual contact with objects, but the radars did not register anything. In other cases, radars even detected the presence of objects, but the pilots could not see them."

When one of the pilots of the jet plane tried to approach the target, the object suddenly accelerated and began to move away from it at a speed exceeding the speed of sound by about 15 times.


As a result, the pilot lost contact with the object at an altitude of about 9 km.

No explanation has yet been found for the objects observed that night.
