Minas Gerais, Brazil: Bright orange object follows a cargo train, some 20 witnesses

At 8:45 p.m. on December 16, 1957, a cargo train travelling from Miguel Burnier to Chrockatt de Sá, Minas Gerais, Brazil, was followed by a brightly glowing object. It seemed to be at a height of about 5,000 feet and gave off an orange light so intense that the witnesses' faces took on an orange tint. The object appeared round and maneuvered from right to left. The sighting lasted 10 minutes and was seen by some 20 people. O Estado de S. Paulo reported it the next day. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
