I herewith confirm that in May 1952, I saw an “unidentified aerial object” at Barra da Tijuca…Besides being a journalist, I am also an engineer; and I also have a large experience and knowledge of meteorological, astronomical, and optical phenomena. I have experience of all known types of aircraft and can state that the referred object cannot be framed in any natural phenomena or aircraft of my knowledge.

– Joao Martins

While covering a news event for O’Cruzeiro Magazine, reporters Ed Kessel and Joao Martins saw an unusual flying object approaching their location. Kessel snapped five black and white pics of the object as it came right over them. The Brazilian Air Force would later find as many as 40 witnesses who saw the object.
