Brazil military releases UFO files High-ranking members of the Brazilian Air Force have officially met with a committee of top UFO researchers to discuss sightings in the country, and allowed researchers to examine classified UFO documents in several military facilities. "We want to have all information on the subject, which has been withheld by us for some decades, fully released to the public, through the UFO community," said Brigadier Telles Ribeiro, chief of the Brazilian Air Force Communication Center. Brazilian military officials also released important UFO files to researchers, according to A. J. Gevaerd of the Brazilian Committee of UFO Researchers. These files include documents from 1977 that cover dozens of cases of UFOs in the Amazon, with over 100 photos made during Operation Saucer, an official Brazilian military investigation that was carried out between September and December 1977. Other files involved "The Official Night of UFOs in Brazil" in May 1986, when 21 objects over 100 metres in diameter jammed Brazilian air traffic control systems over Rio de Janeiro, Sao Jose dos Campos and Sao Paulo. Several jets were sent to intercept the unidentified objects, but without success. A Brazilian Air Force commander, Brigadier Atheneu Azambuja, told UFO researchers that the Brazilian military is concerned about the UFO phenomenon, and that the country has systematically detected and documented UFOs in the country since 1954. Brazilian Air Force representatives at these meetings said that further steps will be taken to let researchers examine all military UFO files in a more comprehensive way. A committee of military and civilian UFO researchers was scheduled to start operating soon, co- ordinated by the Brazilian Committee of UFO Researchers. (Source: www.unknowncountry.com)
UFO reports declassified The British Ministry of Defence has released thousands of classified documents relating to UFO sightings reported in the 1970s. Now available to the public at the National Archive are documents from the MOD's UFO department, SF4, revealing credible reports of unidentified flying objects from RAF personnel, British Airways pilots and senior police officers. In July 1977 an RAF pilot, Flight Lieutenant A.M. Wood and two colleagues reported "bright objects hanging over the sea", the closest being "luminous, round and four to five times larger than a Whirlwind helicopter". One was seen to change shape "to become body shaped with projections like arms and legs". They observed the objects for an hour and 40 minutes. At the same time the objects were picked up at two British radar stations. A British Airways Tristar pilot returning from Portugal in July 1976 reported four objects, "two round brilliant white, two cigar- shaped", 18 miles north of Faro. Alarmed by the sightings, he reported them to air traffic controllers at Lisbon and London, and fighters were immediately scrambled from Lisbon. The documents also contain details of unexplained lights in the sky reported by police officers. These witnesses were taken more seriously than members of the general public, who were dismissed on such grounds as having just emerged from a `pub' or having reported sightings too frequently.

The camera is capable of picking up a microscopic chemical pattern and, within seconds, generating a three-dimensional data cube of spectral, spatial and intensity information. While analysing data from the camera, the scientists came across a set of photographs of a tiny Unidentified Flying Object (UFO), invisible to the naked eye. Because an infrared camera that had also been in use during the same time had not picked up any data, the scientists postulated that the UFO was a remote controlled, non-heat producing craft without any life forms inside it. The scientists also observed that when the chemical-imaging camera captured the details of the UFO, the UFO's manoeuvers suggested that it detected the presence of the chemical-imaging camera in the vicinity.

It had been sent out from a Venusian spacecraft, a laboratory ship.) http://www.shareintl.org
