On 19 May 1986, the CINDACTA I radar centre (the Integrated Air Traffic Control and Air Defence Centre in Brasilia) tracked 21 UFOs over South East Brazil.

When it comes to this case, we see that different sources give different information about how many fighter jets were ordered scrambled.

Portal Fenomenum’s report (which includes government documents) on the case informs us that the Brazilian Air Force sent up two F-5E Tiger II and two Dassault Mirage III  fighter jets to pursue thirteen UFOs.
