In the early evening of 4 September 1957, a squadron of four F-84 jets led by Captain Lemos Ferreira left the Ota Air Base. The nocturnal training mission included a flight over the Spanish cities of Cordoba and Caceres.

The four pilots suddenly sighted a strange luminous object. The unidentified flying object changed greatly in size, shape and colours. Later, the large UFO ejected four spherical shaped UFOs which flew towards the jets, forcing them to execute evasive manoeuvres.

Ota Air Base is now called Military and Technical Training Center of the Air Force.
