On 31 January 1968, at 11:00 p.m., Serafim Sebastiao, a night watchman at the Cinco Picos installation, Lajes Air Base (Portuguese: Base Aerea das Lajes), Terceira Island, the Azores, Portugal, was listening to a football (soccer) match radio broadcast. Suddenly the broadcast was cut off and he noticed that the area outside the building was flooded with a very bright light. When he went outside he sighted an unknown object which hovered over a building at the base. After a short while, Sebastiao sighted four unknown beings on board the UFO, according to the video source:
