----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TEXT: 1. (blacked out text) ACCORDING TO SOURCES, AT LEAST 20 UNIDENTIFIED OBJECTS WERE OBSERVED BY SEVERAL AIRCREWS AND ON RADAR THE NIGHT OF 19 MAY 86. THE OBJECTS WERE FIRST SEEN BY THE PILOT OF A XINGU AIRCRAFT, TRANSPORTING OZIRES SILVA, FORMER PRESIDENT OF EMBRAER, BETWEEN SAO PAULO AND RIO DE JANEIRO. FIGHTERS WERE LAUNCHED FROM SANTA CRUZ AB (blacked out text) AT APPROXIMATELY 2100 HOURS. ALTHOUGH ALL THREE MADE RADAR CONTACT, ONLY ONE OF THE THREE PILOTS MANAGED TO SEE WHAT HE DESCRIBED AS RED, WHITE AND GREEN LIGHTS. SHORTLY AFTERWARD, RADAR CONTACT WAS MADE WITH SIMILAR OBJECTS NEAR BRASILIA AND THREE MIRAGES WERE LAUNCHED FROM ANAPOLIS AB (blacked out text) ALL MADE RADAR AND VISUAL CONTACT AT 20,000 FEET. THEY REPORTED THAT THEY WERE ESCORTED BY THIRTEEN OF THESE DISCS WITH RED, GREEN, AND WHITE LIGHTS AT A DISTANCE OF ONE TO THREE MILES. THE OBJECTS THEN RAPIDLY DISAPPEARED FROM BOTH GROUND AND AIRBORNE RADARS.
