Brazilian Air Force

And the reports eventually attracted the attention of the Brazilian military authorities.

The Brazilian Air Force launched an investigation called Operation Saucer.

Military personnel were sent into the region to document the reports and observe the alleged phenomenon.

The investigation collected testimony and produced reports concerning the activity.

and possible biological or medical effects associated with the encounters.

That's what they wanted.

The Cloris case appeared to touch all of those, and the Brazilian Air Force had already investigated the sightings.

Military personnel had documented witness reports.

The captain of this flight was 32 year old Cesar Augusto Padula Garces.

He had flown for the Brazilian Air Force for a number of years before joining Varig in 1982.

In his time as a pilot, he had accumulated just under 7,000 hours of flying experience, almost a thousand of which were on the 737.

While he set the aircraft up for departure that evening, 28-year-old First Officer Nilson de Souza Zille was outside the plane carrying out the walkaround.

Quando você infiltra, você exfiltra, tá? Só que no começo, essa palavra era um jeito meio tucanado dos militares dizerem que tinham batido em retirada, mas que não tinham recuado, entendeu? "É, fez uma exfiltração das tropas." Era uma, uma maneira, assim, de não dizer o que eles queriam dizer, ou de dizer o que eles queriam dizer sem usar as palavras que poderiam soar negativas, né? Só que a partir dos anos 1960, essa expressão, exfiltration, passou a designar um movimento clandestino e planejado pra retirar um agente infiltrado de uma zona de perigo, ou seja, tirar um espião que tava em outro lugar e que tava correndo risco de ser descoberto e preso.

Começa a ver as semelhanças, né? A origem e o destino do voo que levou o Flávio desde a Argentina até os Estados Unidos e a forma como ele foi antecipadamente planejado, como o voo foi concebido, desviando do espaço aéreo brasileiro pra não correr risco de ser interceptado no ar pela Força Aérea Brasileira, e os vistos do governo americano terem sido dados com antecedência pro, pra família inteira do Flávio e pra ele usando o passaporte italiano.

Ou seja, já era fato conhecido, previsto e combinado que isso ia acontecer.

Isso não foi uma operação que foi feita de supetão, até porque o avião ficou de plantão esperando o Flávio, né?

They said 10 people died from the ambush and 30 more reported being levitated in the air.

The Brazilian Air Force logged sightings of three to four foot aliens and they were gray.

And that's not all.

Here at home, a witness claimed to see a skinwalker running through his backyard in Utah.

The events became associated with the term Chapa Chapa.

The Brazilian Air Force conducted an investigation that became known as Operation Saucer.

This is a case we've previously examined on UFO to UAP Explained, but Release 7 adds a different perspective.

It reveals how a U.S. defense intelligence contractor intended to approach the Brazilian evidence.

That was a lead Bigelow wanted to investigate, not an established finding that such a transfer had occurred.

The distinction is fundamental, but the proposal gives us a concrete research question.

Did Bigelow establish the location and ownership of any original Brazilian Air Force records? And if so, where was that information documented? The June 2009 report confirms that investigators were active in Brazil and obtained material from civilian research groups.

What it does not establish from the passages examined is that Bigelow obtained the complete original military archive.

Yeah, we have a long history about the phenomena attacking people in the Amazon area in many states of Brazil, because Amazon Forest in Brazil covers many, many states, a huge area.

And in 1978, we had the Operation Prato, called Operation Saucer in English, where many mayors of cities asked for help from the Brazilian Air Force because luminous phenomena, crafts, all this type of phenomena were... attacking people and they were sending a light beam to the people burning people causing some holes in the in the skin of people and taking blood of these people and it was confirmed by medical exams and in some people have many many gallons i i many, many liters and maybe a gallon that was sucked from the people.

So it was not a sample of blood.

It was like feeding from people because the volume was very huge.

Some people were anemic.

Some people were affected and many, many weeks feeling weak about after this encounter.

And the Brazilian Air Force had to investigate that And in two months, the phenomena disappeared after the Air Force came there.

So we have documentation.
