Background

At 10:00 p.m. Renata Veloso saw an object descending at high speed over Cláudio, Minas Gerais, Brazil, and called her husband, Lieut. Eisenhower Guerck Austriaco, commander of the Military Police Platoon of Cláudio, who saw a huge hexagonal luminous object with two smaller spherical objects rotating around it. When the main object approached the Church of Our Lady Aparecida, the streetlights in the Bela Vista neighborhood began to turn off block by block. Austriaco alerted colleagues, and a patrol car with Corporal Amilton José Rabelo and officers Francisco and Balbino was sent; the officers saw an object cross the MG-260 highway toward a sugarcane field and return toward the church, stopping and starting several times. Over November 19–20 Austriaco reports that several people, including armed officers in up to three patrol cars, saw lights over the city and that “small humanoid beings” were also reported, among others by a woman in the village of Formiguinha. Corporal Rabelo later said he had taken photos of the objects. 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.
