Oval UFO Sighting in Cuiabá 2002

Summary

A nighttime UFO sighting in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, recorded an oval object 50 meters in size, white in color. The witness, a 42-year-old public official, observed it about 4 kilometers away, moving slowly from north to south. The object paused at certain moments, drawing his attention. Despite a cloudy sky, he managed to take photos with his camera, though only two were useful. The report confirms it was not a meteorological phenomenon or an optical effect.

The sighting lasted 10 minutes, and the witness had no technical knowledge of aviation, meteorology, or UFO phenomena. The report was submitted to the Brazilian Air Force on January 15, 2002, and received by Major Jefferson de Jesus Oliveira Souza. Despite low visibility, the testimony and photos are considered valid for official records. The case remains unexplained.
