Subject: Re: Brazilian Air Force Spokesman Lies About UFOs


Dear Colleagues:

I made a commitment to myself and the readers of the Brazilian
UFO Magazine to never let go of the issue about the lies we are
getting from our military and authorities about UFOs in Brazil.
The lies are simply outrageous and we cannot be silent.

So I decided to pursue this issue no matter what happens. I
am loaded with info to contradict the liars and I now publish a
recent message received from a reader of the magazine, who is
also angry because of the coverup policy implemented by the
military. There is more of this to come and I will spread it
both in Brazil and overseas.

If readers want to check out the over 200 pages of official
documents of Operation Saucer in the Amazon, 1977, go to:

and download as many as you want.

Spokesman From The Brazilian Air Force Department For Social
Communication Lies About UFOs

Letter to the Brazilian UFO Magazine:

The newspaper Correio Braziliense published a whole page about
UFOs in its January 30th, 2005 issue under the title "Security"
and subtitled as "ET Hunters". The report was signed by Ullisses
Campbell. Among other subjects, the text describes the campaign
carried out by Brazilian UFO Magazine [www.ufo.com.br], UFOs:
Freedom of Information Now!, and reports the Brazilian
ufologists' will to see the opening of their government secret
archives about the Operation Saucer, the Varginha Case, and the
Brazilian UFO researchers call "The Official Night of UFOs in
Brazil". This request is included in the document called
Manifesto of Brazilian Ufology, which is an integral part of the
campaign, and is published by the magazine and its website.

In the aforementioned report, under the subtitle Archives in
Brasilia, Campbell presents parts of his interview with the Air
Force major Antonio Lorenzo, from the Brazilian Air Force
Department for Social Communication. The text reads: "The
Ministry of Air Force admits the existence of reports about
unidentified flying objects in the archives of the Brazilian
Command for Air Defense (Comdabra), a military body based in
South Lake area". A statement of major Lorenzo follows: "But
none of these has an investigative approach. We have never gone
out looking for flying sauces in Brazilian skies".

The officer goes on by saying that ufologists do not need to
gather 30,000 signatures, which is the intent of the above
mentioned campaign - to make these documents disclosed. He
finishes: "An order from the commander of the Air Force, Luiz
Carlos da Silva Bueno, or from the minister of Defense, Jose
Alencar, is enough to open the archives".

The text continues by informing that the report from Operation
Saucer, which is read by ufologists all over the world and is
published on the website of Brazilian UFO Magazine
[www.ufo.com.br], would have been released by the officer who
headed the operation, Uyrange Hollanda, interviewed by the
editor of the magazine, A. J. Gevaerd. In the documents, says
the Correio Braziliense, there should be statements from people
attacked by lights coming from the sky which burned their skins,
the so-called chupa-chupa (*).

To finish, the report informs the reader that, according to
major Lorenzo, there would be no evidence of UFOs sightings in
any of the reports of the Air Force. The officer states: "As far
as I know, there are only reports about people saying: I saw
this, I saw that in the sky. Based on these reports, the Air
Force has never established any operation in order to wait for
lights from Mars or Jupiter".


The officer lies

I would like to inform Brazilian UFO Magazine that I received
verified information saying that the statements made by Major
Antonio Lorenzo, from the Brazilian Air Force Department for
Social Communication, are false. He lacks the truth in his
declarations to the journalist Ullisses Campbell and, therefore,
in the position he occupies, he commits a serious fault towards
the Brazilian society which needs to be repaired.

I state that in 1977 I was a member of the Brazilian Center for
Ufology Studies (CNEU), founded and headed by General Alfredo
Moacyr de Mendonca Uchoa, which was based in the College Uniao
Pioneira de Integracao Social (UPIS). I occupied a high position
in the institution, which I am not going to reveal in order to
keep my name in secret. One night, at 8:30 PM, I was in General
Uchoa's office, sit at his table, when three men dressed in
black suits and holding huge suitcases appeared. From the door
they said: "General, we are here". "I'm going", was his
response.

Then the three men left to wait at the corridor. General Uchoa
told me in low voice: "These are security agents from the Air
Force and bring good news from Colares, State of Para". He then
asked me to follow him and the men, and we headed to the dead
archives of UPIS. The first of the officers had a key in his
hands, he opened the door and stand aside so that the others
could pass. He was the last one, but when it was my turn to
enter, I was stopped under the claim that the subject was secret
and I was not allowed to go any further.

General Uchoa, who was already inside the room, turned back and
said: "He is a man I highly trust. If he can not enter, than I
can not either". Thus, the officers had no choice but to let me
in. We sat all around a large table and they started by
explaining in details all that should come to General Uchoa -
and among other issues, there was the fact that the duty they
carried out was assigned in Colares, a city at the coast of the
State of Para. What they showed to us were images and documents
concerning the Operation Saucer, which were impressive.

I was amazed with the quantity of films and more than 200
pictures they presented. That was an endless source of high
quality material. Flying saucers were closely filmed and
photographed by those officers - I figure a distance from 100m
to 200m. In that great amount of evidence were shots of distant
lights, which came towards them until getting very close.
Everything was filmed and well photographed in high quality and
contrast images. All facts occurred during several nights. There
was a photo and film expert among the men, who explained to
General Uchoa technical details of the images, the conditions in
which they were made, the kind of film, and the exposure time.

There was another expert who explained physical aspects about
the UFOs to General Uchoa, and we spent more than three hours
watching all the material. However, during all this time, I did
not say anything, since I was seen as an intruder and was not
really invited. The men did not address me either. In the end,
Uchoa's conclusion was: "No doubt these are interplanetary ships
present in our planet. We should receive them in order to
understand their real intention".

Well, this is my report, which I hope to be useful for Brazilian
UFO Magazine and the Brazilian Ufology Community in their
campaign for the freedom of Ufology information. My intention is
to contribute to show how important it is that the Government
asks the Armed Forces to open their archives at once.
