User:Fingas123/Official UFOs Night

Official UFO Night is a term adopted by Brazilian ufologists to describe the appearance of several unidentified flying objects (UFOs) over Brazil according to information from the Brazilian Aeronautics Command on May 19, 1986.

Historic
The incident occurred on the night of May 19, 1986. About twenty-one UFOs were detected by the radars of the Integrated Center for Air Defense and Air Traffic Control (CINDACTA I), based in Brasilia.

This flock of UFOs lasted about three hours, and was observed in the states of Goiás, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Paraná. The situation has reached such a point that the Brazilian Aerospace Defense Command (COMDABRA) has considered flight safety threatened, mainly in São Paulo, where the largest number of air routes in the country is concentrated, and where UFOs were more active.

This led the Brazilian Air Force High Command to launch two operations of interception and pursuit of UFOs by F-5E Tiger II and Dassault Mirage III fighters, one from Santa Cruz Air Base (RJ) and another from Anápolis (GO).

In the next day, the then Minister of Aeronautics, Air Lt. Gen. Octávio Júlio Moreira Lima, gave a press conference together with the fighter pilots, confirming the events, so the events of that night became known as the Official UFOs Night.

On September 25, 2009, the official report of the Brazilian Air Force on the case was published, which says: "In conclusion of the constant facts observed, in almost all presentations, this Command is of opinion that the phenomena are solid and reflect of certain form intelligence, by the ability to follow and keep distance from observers, as well as flying in formation, not necessarily manned. "

In October of 2015, the National Archives made available 16 audios of the so-called 3rd shipment of the "UFO Fund" (denomination for the collection of documents related to Ufology made available through the Law on Access to Information), including 8 recordings of conversations between pilots and air traffic controllers, as well as the Brazilian defense system, on the night of May 19, 1986. In the audios it is clear that dozens of objects were captured by radar, several times were observed and pursued by the pilots, demonstrating unusual behaviors throughout the episode.
