Release.
Dear colleagues of the World UFO Community: As of May
04th (2009), Brazilian Government has disclosed over 600
new pages of previously classified documents, covering UFO
reports and military investigations from 1970 to 1979,
including photos and films, for the first time.
The content of this material has now been examined and proved to be very
interesting and revelatory of Brazilian official strategy to cover UFO cases,
often openly regarded as “from external sources” in these new documents,
meaning from outside Earth. The cases covered and the methods used to
investigate them by the military are also very significant.
On my opinion, the most important material contained in this new
declassification are 195 new pages of documents resulted from the Operation
Saucer, conducted in the Amazon by the Brazilian Air Force from September
to December 1977, that is certainly the biggest *known* official initiative to
military investigate UFOs in the world.As I also reported, so far, over 1,400
pages of Brazilian previously classified UFO documents have been released
thanks to the efforts of the Brazilian UFO Researchers Committee (CBU),
through the campaign UFOs: Freedom of Information Now, started in 2004
and articulated by the Brazilian UFO Magazine. This last one has been the
biggest disclosure ever in Brazil.
The PDF files of 12 envelopes or folders now released can be can be
downloaded at: www.ufo.com.br/public/abertura_2. Please read below a
summary of the contents of each envelope or folder and pay special attention
to this one: Folder 10 - 1978, downloadable at www.ufo.com.
br/public/abertura_2/CENDOC_ENVELOPE_10_1978.pdf, with 195 pages of
Operation Saucer material. Brazilian UFO researchers are very excited about
these new disclosures, that unquestionably prove that our efforts have been
profitable for the entire Brazilian UFO Community.
