Background
At 6:00 p.m., Bias Fortes and Pinheiro Chagas were driving 9 miles outside Brasília, Brazil, when they saw a triangular UFO. They stopped and got out to observe it better and watched it hover for five minutes. It then accelerated suddenly and sped off to the southwest. Correio da Manhã reported the sighting on 19 January 1968. 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.
