On Sunday, June 29, 1997, between 6 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.,
luminous UFOs were seen over two large cities in
Brazil's state of Sao Paulo. The UFOs appeared
simultaneously over Nova Odessa, S.P. and Americana,
S.P., plus a handful of smaller communities.
In Nova Odessa, a rancher named Antonio Silva Barbosa grabbed his videocamera and shot footage of "two circular illuminations, which moved about rapidly and emitted a blinding light as they flew over." Silva Barbosa described the UFOs as "balls of fire." In Americana, Jose Roberto Moreira spotted three glowing UFOs. "They were visible for three minutes in the middle of the sky," he reported, "The smallest was just as brilliant as the others. All three were moving in the same westerly direction."
UFO reports also flooded in that evening from smaller
cities of the region, including Cosmopolis, Holambra,
Itapira and Paulinia. Residents of these communities
claimed to have seen the "fireballs" off and on during
the past three weeks. (See the Brazilian newspaper
Diario do Povo for July 2, 1997, "Luzes Estranhas Sao
Filmadas Nos Ceus da Regiao." Muito obrigado a Pedro
Cunha para esas noticias.)
