UFO sighted in Cacunde in 1970

Summary

A declassified Brazilian document from 1970 describes a UFO sighting in the town of Cacunde, in the state of São Paulo. The report, submitted by a local police officer, details how the object was observed during the early hours of March 20, 1970, remaining in the sky for approximately one hour. According to the account, the UFO had a rounded shape and emitted a bright white light that made detailed observation difficult. The witness, Caetano Sérgio dos Santos, stated that the object was stationary and appeared to be scanning the area, creating the impression of a reconnaissance mission.

The report includes data about the witness, such as his age, marital status, and occupation, and mentions that the sighting was corroborated by two other soldiers from the local police detachment. Although the document does not provide a clear explanation of the phenomenon, it highlights the characteristics of the UFO and the context of the observation. This case, though unresolved, is part of the SIOANI archive, which compiles official reports on unidentified aerial phenomena in Brazil.
