Quote:• "I would say that that thing was 30 ft across. It was a big thing, and I would say, maybe 6 ft high, like a pancake blown-up, and the thing landed right ahead of me."

George O'Barski, North Hudson Park, North Bergen, NJ - January 12th, 1975.

Quote:• "They were really scared. They didn’t know what to do. They were so terrified they didn’t fish. They wanted guns to shoot.. We had to explain to them that they couldn’t shoot at the UFOs or things could get worse."

Brazilian Military Investigator Sergeant Álvaro Pinto Santos - Colares, Brazil, 1977.

Quote:• "People and animals were attacked. There was no food. Terrible lack of food. No one was fishing. People would not go out to their vegetable gardens for crops. Everybody tried to go around in large groups. Nobody wanted to be left alone. All of Colares stopped. At six o'clock it got dark and we would go to sleep. Groups of as many as fifty to sixty women and children would get together in one house. The men would stay awake all night. They lit bonfires and banged on pots and pans to make noise to scare the UFOs away. People began to shoot into the sky to scare them away."

Ana Célia Oliveira.







• "Sometimes the UFOs go into the water. I’ve seen blue lights moving around under the water, and I’ve seen them come out. It just goes up and away in a northern direction, up and down in a wavy motion toward the ocean.. It began with lights all over Colares.. sometimes in the shape of a hat, round, discs, like an umbrella.. They seemed to come from way high up from many places, one from the sky, one from the bay.. They put out a strong light, too bright to see a shape. The light was blinding. One time we saw three or four objects come together into one big one. They seemed to come from different directions and then joined together. Many times we could see them going across the island toward Belém. They didn’t make any noise. Very silent.. One time we saw many UFOs coming out of the water at the same time, one, two, three, four.. Many lights came out of the water. Huge objects went into the water, came down and went into the water."

Rosio Oliveira, 1999 MUFON interview.







• “I stopped and came out of the car to see it better. It's lights were green, red and yellow and turned on and off clockwise. It was swaying but, suddenly, the lights became stronger and it went up. It disappeared and did not land."

Priest Alfredo de LaÓ, Colares Church.







• "Everybody else was asleep. I was just still having my last smoke when suddenly a ball of fire entered our house up near the ridgepole of the gable. It started shooting round and round the room and then finally came right close to my hammock. It ran up my right leg as far as the knee (without touching my skin). I watched with much curiosity as it then moved across to the other leg. Then I started to feel feeble and sleepy."

Carlos Cardoso de Paula, village barber.







• "The reason the phenomenon could not be denied was very simple: every evening the UFOs appeared, coming from the north. In some cases, they flew down from the sky, in others, they emerged out of the ocean. I saw a photograph of an object with a luminous white ring flying right out of the brackish water at dusk. They came over the islands at low altitude and circled; they descended as if to land; they made loops and accelerated suddenly; they hovered over houses and probed the inside with beams. They even emerged out of larger objects and reentered them. And this happened on schedule, every evening for three months."

Dr. Jacques F. Vallee, Astrophysicist.







• "We clearly saw small ships going into a bigger ship, and they filmed them going into the water and coming out of the water. The ships were estimated to be about ten meters in diameter. They had various shapes. The biggest one was cigar-shaped, a long cigar. Another was a great big ball, another like a hat, a whole festival of forms. What impressed me the most were the ships going into and out of the water.”

Lieutenant Colonel Gabriel Brasil (Ret.)







• "All of them had suffered lesions to the face or the thoracic area. The lesions began with intense reddening of the skin in the affected area. Later the hair would fall out and the skin would turn black. There was no pain, only a slight warmth. One also noticed small puncture marks in the skin. The victims were men and women of varying ages, without any pattern. Two persons I took to the hospital in the capital, Belém, had died. I took them in my car. And when they gave me the death certificate, I could read 'unknown reason'. The victims had the burns, the tiny holes, the examination. I mean, it's very easy to hide things in this country. I've been compelled by Brazilian Air Force to convince the locals that the lights attacking them were mass hallucinations and that what they saw has never happened."

Doctor Wellaide Cecim Carvalho - Local Physician, Colares, Brazil, 1977.








• "They say they are releasing all the documentation, but it is just the tip of the iceberg. We have about 500 pages compiled, but no information that this number reaches 2000. None of the 16 hours of footage of UFOs in Colares was released, for example."

Researcher A.J. Gevaerd.

Quote:• "It was a giant plate of light. It lit up the whole horizon with a glare. It was flying low over the landscape and appeared to be spinning."

Police Constable Eric Pinnock - Warminster.






• "The objects were cigar-shaped and covered with bright lights which winked and blinked... They were various shades of gold and yellow..."

Hilda Hebdidge, Warminster.






• "The cigar-shaped glow hung, a brilliant spectacle in the sky for a good twenty five minutes or more. There was a distinct dark circular patch or aperture at the base of the fiery object, which threw off a halo of red-orange light. The craft was horizontal, not vertical."

Patricia Phillips and family, Heytesbury.






• "A large red ball in the south which rose into the sky and hung down, opening up once more into a flaming poker. It had a black base at its rim...It was the size of our front room to my eyes – it was so close... A sizzling or crackling sound, not unlike eggs and bacon frying in a pan, could be heard..."

Dora Horlock, Warminster.






• "Fantastic spectacle... shining Thing going sideways... Porthole type windows... To my eyes it was the size of... a bedroom wall... Windows were lit up..."

Kathleen Penton, Warminster.






• "Woken by a terrible droning sound. It made the bed and floor shake. I went over to the bedroom window and looked out... about 200 yards above the range of hills... was a bright object like a massive star... domed on top and huge in size, and unwinking light of uncanny brilliance."

Rachel Atwill, Warminster.






• "Its speed and change of direction were almost unbelievable."

Terry Pell, Warminster.

Quote:• "I got about halfway down the road and suddenly in the distance about treetop level this huge object just lit up and it was a glowing, orange, red colour.. I have no idea what I saw but it scared me to death - it was bigger than my house.'

Jeanine Lyles, Alabama, 1976.
