The whole UFO case report:
“Richard Hall:
Capt. Vicente Lopes Buono, commanding an airline flight (call letters
PP-DHU) between Belo Horizonte and Uberaba, Brazil, on August 9, 1971, at 9:00
a.m., reported that his plane was paced for 20 minutes at 2,400 meters (7,920 feet) altitude by
a glowing orange disc (‘like two round basins, one on top of the other’) over
mountainous terrain. Sgt. Falcao, flight controller at Uberaba airport, suggested that he
investigate the object. When the pilot tried to move closer, the object
maintained a constant distance, then suddenly increased its speed and
disappeared.
The sighting occurred between the cities of Pratinha and Sacramento in the Minas
Gerais region. Lopes Buono, a pilot for 24 years, said ‘I never saw anything
like it in my entire career as a pilot.’ He gave a statement to Sgt. Silvio
Motta, commander of the Brazilian Air Force unit in Uberaba.14
