“Look, I really wanted to prove all this. I wanted to make it clear. Because everyone talked about lights and objects and even gave them popular names like chupa-chupa. And FAB needed to know what was really going on, because it happened in Brazilian airspace. Find out. It was our responsibility,” said Captain Holland in an interview with Revista UFO.

The captain also reveals that he saw an alleged extraterrestrial creature inside that ship, round and pointed. A few months after the meeting, Uyrangê passed away.

“We made over 500 films. There were dozens of rolls of film, a cardboard box filled with them. There were UFOs or probes in almost every frame. And look at this: all these negatives were up in front of me for almost two months. The job and we got nothing. There was no light in the photos…Then after what I learned we went to look again and there were great images. Then we sent it to the service right away. The Comar lab to magnify and see the beautiful probes and UFOs in the photos. Dozens,” Holland said.

After the Netherlands presented the research results ready to study the phenomenon further, the FAB canceled Operation Prato and said the mission was inconclusive. A psychiatrist at the time described the case as “mass hysteria.”

UFOs in Brazil: Unpublished Reports and Videos

According to reports from the Brazilian ufological community, an action has been launched to seize videos shot on the Super-8 (8 and 16 millimeters) and remaining documents based on the Freedom of Information Act (LAI). However, a decision of the Federal Special Court of Justice (JEC) in Florianópolis (SC) rejected the request.

As the reports explain, the author of the process is Brazilian lawyer Rafael Pederneiras, who made the request with the help of ufologist Edison Boaventura Júnior. The ufological community believes the outcome of the process is a major setback for the dissemination of “fact-truth” in Brazil.

In a video on the channel Riddles and MysteriesBoaventura explains and says that since the Freedom of Information Act states that top-secret projects can be freely disclosed after 25 years, the decision uses a loophole in the law to not disclose videos.

The alleged legal loophole based on Article 7, § states that “§ 1 Access to information provided in the hood does not include information referring to scientific or technological research and development projects whose confidentiality is essential for the safety of society and the State.” 1 of the Freedom of Information Act.
