BRAZIL, November (?), 1980-Macapa...Seventy or more
people, awaiting the re-establishment of ferry service across the Aragari River, watched a strange object rise up from the river, hover at 5 to
6 meters above it and 100 meters from the river bank, rise slowly to a height
of 200 meters and stop there for 4 minutes. It then turned left and proceeded
at a moderate speed towards the ocean.
Witnesses said the object appeared
solid, about 5 meters in diameter, was
shaped like a cloud and showed no sign of luminosity.
On the opposite bank of
the river at Amapa, Francisco Silveira
said the object came within 30 meters of him. It stayed there for a long
while "as if it was watching me."
On the preceding day in Amapa, a car with 3 passengers was followed by a
plate-shaped object with its borders lit up. It then-stopped still above a
sports module facing a local hotel.
