Brazil

Brazil has generated two of the most credible and disturbing UAP encounter cases in history. The Colares Island attacks of 1977 involved hundreds of residents reportedly injured by beams of light from unidentified craft over a period of months — the Brazilian Air Force's subsequent investigation, Operation Saucer, produced classified files that were partially released decades later. The 1996 Varginha incident involved multiple witnesses describing a wounded non-human entity recovered by military and transported to a local hospital. Brazilian Spiritist culture has also produced one of the world's most sustained traditions of documented mediumship.
