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 (see the Revista UFO map).
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) (fenomenum.com.br) 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. This article corroborates that information. This article corroborates that information.
