Background
Brig. Gen. João Adil Oliveira, chief of the information service of the Brazilian Air Force's General Staff, told the Rio de Janeiro newspaper O Globo that the UFO phenomenon was a "fact confirmed by material evidence." He added that thousands of documents, photos and sighting reports demonstrated its existence. The interview appeared on page 7 of the February 28, 1958, issue under the headline that it was no longer legitimate to doubt the existence of flying discs. 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.
