- had made phone calls to the station they had on (RCP),reporting the
- observation of a UFO over Lisbon.
- Due to the fact that the event was taking place over the river
- Tagus,they decided to get out and try to take a look at the object.They
- drove to Alges and then Caxias,and at this point they had the first
- observation.It was a bright object projecting a beam of light over the
- river.Then they went back home and by 23:30 they had the second
- observation of an object with a shape of a disc.The object was 250 meters
- above ground,had flashing lights and was flying south.

- The witnesses were flying in an airplane of the Portuguese Airways Company
- (TAP),a "Boeing 707",from Lisbon to Cabo Verde and Las Palmas.
- Over the Portuguese coast (Sagres),the cmdt. Rodrigo Freitas was
- alerted by the flight mechanic technician,Francisco Duarte,because of the
- existence of a few strange lights in front of them.
- Mr. Freitas said that there was a formation of fdive lights or objects
- who formed a central block.Two of the lights were spinning.
- The phenomenon left a trail behind.The event took place 80 miles away
- of the airplane.At that point the Boeing was flying at a speed of 900 Km/H
- and was 19000 ft above ground.The objects,or lights,were reported to be
- 16000 ft higher.They tried to find out if somebody else from another
- airplane had seen the phenomenon and they got the information that another
- crew from a South African Airways airplane had observed the same event 40
- minutes before. Knowing the other airplane's position,Mr. Rodrigo Freitas
- calculated that the phenomenonhad moved at a speed of 36000 Km/H.Later,Mr.
- Freitas made a report which was sent to NASA in the U.S.A.,as was usual in
- this kind of observation.

- Strange manoeuvres executed by ufos were observed by the crew of a Boeing
- 707,two workers from the Control Tower at the airport,a worker in the hotel
- of Acoteias (Algarve),and several unnamed people all over the country.
- The ufo was said to be a main body extremely bright and blue, surrounded
- by otherhorizontal red or white lights.These were five to seven in number.
- Then,these lights separated from the central body and exploded followed
- by an enormous flash of light.
- Meanwhile,an airplane from the Portuguese Airways (TAP) that was flying
- to southafrica almost hit the ufo which avoided it by changing direction.
- Two workers from the control tower at the airport observed the same
- phenomenon with surprise.One of them who saw the object with binoculars
- said it took off with a speed three times faster than a jet aircraft.
-
- The "National Enquirer" dated on November 30,1976,published the
- following data about the case:
- "707 passenger jet on collision course with dazzling UFO"
- The dazzling ufo and the Boeing 707 jetliner carrying 101 passengers raced
- toward each other on a collision course."We're going to crash!" thought
- co-pilot Armindo Pinto as he wrenched the plane into a steep bank.
- Startled by the violent manoeuver,capt. Eloy Weigert,who was checkin
- instruments,looked up in time to see the ufo dead ahead.It was so close it
- seemed to fill three quarters of the cockpit windshield.
- Spitting out what appeared to be fire and sparks in bursts it shot past
- the portuguese airliner.Observed by two other,astonished crewmen and an air
- traffic controller on the ground,the extraordinary encounter occurred
- shortly after TAP flight 241 took off from Lisbon airport at 2:10 AM local
- time on September 19,bound for Africa.TAP is a government-run airline.In
- their seats in the cockpit were captain Weigert,52,with 22,000 hours of
- flying time,co-pilot Pinto,34,flight engineer,Gilberto Sarmento,48,and Jose
- Pinto,31,co-pilot for a second crew that would take over the plane in
- Kinshasa,Zaire.He was the first to spot the ufo.
- "We were climbing to 4,000 feet",he told the "Enquirer"."I was sitting
- behind the capt. on the left hand side of the flight deck and just before
- we reached 4,000 feet I saw,through the first officer's window on the
- right hand side off our wing,coming in our direction,giving off
- flashes",Costa,59,continued:"I saw this flying object expel
- "We were climbing and converging with it.As we banked,it passed to the left
- and slightly below us.Because of the angles,and the location of the
- passengers,it was impossible for them to see.The front of the aircraft was
- being used for cargo,and the passengers were in the rear".
- The ufo was traveling from west to east.Moments after flight 241
- encountered theobject,another portuguese 707,some 600 miles to east reported
- a strange sighting.
- Manuel Aleixo,31,co-pilot of TAP flight 130,flying at 33,000 feet,told
- the "Enquirer":"At about 2:15 AM we saw a very bright light moving very
- fast below us.It was traveling from west to east and disappeared in about
- 45 seconds.It didn't look like any aircraft or a meteor.We didn't know
- about capt. Weigert's sighting,but we were joking on the flight deck about
- having seen a ufo".

- Two pilots from different airlines observed two large ufo's as big as a navy
- ship,when they were flying over Faro.Denis Wood,british cmdt.,who has been
- flying for the last 20 years,said that the objects were seen by the crew and
- the radar station from lisbon.The ufo's were reported to be sausage-shaped,
- bright and carried some kind of mirror in the center.At least,that was the
- description made by a witness who observed the phenomenon through
- binoculars.The british pilot got a warning from the radar station in
- Lisbon,telling him about the presence of two ufo's over the portuguese
- territory.These objects werereported to be 10 Km away from the airplane.
- Antonio Carvalheira,portuguese pilot,who observed the same phenomenon
- for eight minutes,said that such manoeuvres executed by the ufo's could not
- be done by anyterrestrial aircraft.No one took pictures of the ufo's.
-
- The "Natal Daily News" from South Africa,published an article
- titled "UFOs as big as battleships,pilots claim".For fear of being
- ridiculed,pilots of three airliners kept secret the sighting of three ufo's
- over Portugal,later described by one of them "as big and solid as
- battleships".
- British Airways Trident jet pilot,captain Dennis Wood,who has been
- flying with the airline for 20 years,said he and his crew first spotted the
- ufo's while flying from London to Faro,in the A
- The sighting,described by experts as the most important in the past
- decade,was also made by the crew of a british Tristar below the Trident and
- the pilot of a portuguese airliner.All the stories tallied.
- Captain Wood,42,said he and the Tri-star crew made sighting reports when
- they arrived at London's Heathrow airport but kept it all a secret for
- fear of being ridiculed.Captain Wood has come forward in the hope that
- Britain's ufo experts will turn a serious eye to this particular sighting.
- "Suggestions that the three objects were balloons,stars or
- satellites,strange clouds or reflections are quite unacceptable to us",he
- said."As I looked to the west we saw this very bright headlamp in the
- sky.All the cabin staff saw ittoo and I told the passengers.Then it was
- joined by two cigar-shaped objects as big and solid as battleships".
- On the return trip captain Wood tilted his radar scanner."There,in
- exactly the same spot were these two cigar-shaped things.We got to within
- seven miles ofthem when they disappeared from our screen".

- The official inquiry was conducted by the representative of the
- Portuguese government,Lt. Henrique da Costa Pessca,Commander of the Santa
- Maria Airport facility.The information contained in Lt. Pessca's report was
- made available to Wing Intelligence Officer Robert D. Gammell,1st
- Lieutenant,USAF, head of the US Intelligence Operations at the Azores Air
- Transport Station in Lajes Field.Lt. Gammell prepared and submitted his
- report to Air Force Intelligence in accordance with the official UFO
- reporting format,AFR 200-2,the procedure used from 1953 through 1966,when it
- was revised for use in conjunction with the Condon Committee inquiry.
- The shape of the object was reported to be oblong,10 feet in length by
- 5 feetin height,and,of a light metallic blue in color.There was a
- plexiglass-type section in the forward end,also blue,which contained the
- "pilot".There were fourpole-like appendages,two at each end,which supported
- parallel aerials,and there was an orange light in the nose of the object.
- The civilian guard,Mr. Monteiro,was alerted to the presence of the
- object by a humming or whirring noise,similar to the sound made by the wind
- passing over wire cables or telephone lines.The object approached and
- landed approximately 30feet from the guard post,making a slight nose-down
- approach to land;it levelled off,hovered a few feet above the The witness
- was unable to see any landing gear.A blond-haired man,5 feet,10 inches in
- height,got out of a door located in the plexiglass section;he approached the
- witness,but "attempts to converse failed".The contact lasted from 2 to 3
- minutes and was terminated by the approach of an automobile.After the pilot
- reboarded and "belted up",the UFO ascended almost vertically and then
- accelerated rapidly into the night sky,disappearing in the darkness.
- The weather,according to the witness,was fair,with visibility
- unlimited.The official weather conditions for Terceira Island (142 nautical
- miles to the northwest of Santa Maria Island) reported the ceiling at 200
- feet,with a one/eighth cloud cover at that altitude.The wind direction was

- Two objects with a disc shape were observed over the city.They weregrey with
- darker color on the edges.One of them executed several movements,stopping
- and changing directions at high speed.
- At that point several people,including teachers from the
- Secondary School "Escola Comercial e Industrial de Evora",observed the
- falling of a strange white substance,(angel hair).
- This phenomenon took place over a four hour period.Samples were
- taken and examined.It was then possible to observe a strange being with
- central round body.Ten arms in perfect symmetry were radiated from it.This
- observation happened while making some tests with the substance.
- Scientific
- Conclusions:
-
- During the First Iberic UFO Symposium in Oporto,October 7 & 8, 1978,and
- for the first time since 1959,the reports made by the teachers were released
- and discussed.At the time,and with a total agreement of the participants on
- the symposium,the ordinary " Angels Hair " became named "Fibralvis",a word
- composed from the Latin "Fibra" (Fiber) plus "Alvis" (Alvine),then adapted
- to Portuguese as "Fibralvina".
- Material deductions:
-
- The substance looks like flax which is linked by white filaments
- arranged in a random pattern.
- The filaments are from a natural source and not artificial
- fibers.They form somekind of felt with wave shaped fibers,sometimes with
- nodosity.Physical action is the only way to separate them. Compared with
- cotton it is much thinner.
- The substance is a vegetable product and not animal.Its combustion is
- fast and leaves a very tiny residuum of white ashes. The
- organism found in the experiments is entirely connected to the UFO
- phenomenon.
- This subject was presented for debate,by Mr. Joaquim Fernandes, Director
- of CEAFI at the time,as a team effort by his group.

- Mr. Pavao is a farmer.He was aged 55 at the time of the encounter and
- deserves credibility.
- Everything started on a sunny morning,as usual,Mr. Pavao left his place
- taking his sheep to the fields.Then,at about 11:00 hours,he heard a noise.At
- the same time his dog panicked,which made Mr. Pavao feel that something
- wrong was happening behind him..Then,he turned back as fast as he could
- and,to his surprise,two 8 ft tall humanoids were standing there,close and
- staring at him continuously.
- Extremely tall and strong they were dressed with a complete grey suit.
- Their faces,without protection,were close to the human's.Only the eyes and
- skin were different.Their hands were hairy and quite big.
- Then the strange beings got closer to the witness and seeming friendly
- they touched his left shoulder and several other parts of his body.At the
- same time,they spoke a strange language with a modulation like the human's
- voice.At this point the witness was able to see that they had teeth,due to
- the movement of their lips.
- Seeming to understand the fear of the witness,one of the beings pointed to
- the sheep,and,Mr. Pavao told him the name of the cattle.Meanwhile,the two
- beings kept talking and laughing.Then,Mr. Pavao gave an order to his dog,for
- it to get one of the sheep and for a second he lo
- for the beings to disappear.When he looked back to the place where they
- were,all he could see was an intense flash of light which blinded him for a
- few seconds.After that everything became normal again.
- It was like a dream.Extremelly nervous and excited he returned home
- where his wife and son were surprised by the way he looked.
- This event became the subject of his nightmares for several
- nights.Mr. Pavao can identify several languages and,says that the one
- spoken by the beings wasn'tfrom Earth.

- there were no traces on the place.

- -Total visibility of Sun this day: 3:45 hours
- -Angle of Sun: 42 degrees 44'
- 2-Before the "Miracle":
- 50 000 people wanted to witness the event,announced three months before
- by the entity to the three children.
- Journalists,teachers,workers,priests,farmers,children,sick
- people,etc.,etc.,all them,observed the "dark cloud" coming closer to the
- usual place.By this,some people started praying.
- By 13:47 hours rain had gone and the sun was visible for a while.
- Another small white smoke cloud appeared over the oak tree while the first
- one was still visible in the sky.
- Meanwhile,Lucia kept talking with the entity and,as the dark cloud moved,a
- silver "globe" was uncovered.At the end of the dialogue the entity pointed
- her finger to the place where the sun was,as if she was pretending to make
- a sign to the silver "globe",and left.
-
- 3-Description of the phenomenon:
- When the entity left,the clouds opened and a bright silver disk
- appeared,spinning and shining as if it was the sun.At this point the
- "miracle" was done.It stayed like that for 8 to 10 minutes and then became
- dark.Then,for unknown reason,the disk looked as if it would crash,which
- caused a sensation of fear among the crowd.It took off with irregular
- movement.
-
- 4-Secondary effects:
- Sick people recovered from ilness.
- Rising temperature dried clothes and environment.
- Sensation of fear,commotion and anguish.
- Environment colored by several colors.
- 5-Percentage of witnesses:
- 22% Farmers
- 22% Housewives
- 06% Lawyers
- 06% Journalists
- 01% Engineers
-
-
- A. Ribera's investigation concluded that the crowd that stood in a field
- at Fatima,a small village in the district of Leiria,some 62 miles north of
- Lisbon,on October 13,1917,was waiting there for a miracle,because three
- children had been assured such an event would take place after a number of
- meetings with an "Entity" that came from the sky in a globe of light.
- The witnesses were shepherds: Lucia,aged 10,and her cousins Francisco
- Marto and Jacinta Marto,aged 9 and 7.
- Among the crowd was Professor Almeida Garrett,of Coimbra University,a
- scientist,who described the phenomenon in the following terms:
- "It was raining hard,and the rain trickled down everyone's
- clothes.Suddenly,the sun shone through the dense cloud which covered
- it.Everybody looked in its direction.It was not dazzling.I don't think that
- it could be compared to a dull silver disc,as someone said later in
- Fatima."No.It rather possessed a clear,changing brightness,which one could
- compare to a pearl.It looked like a polished wheel.This is not petry.My eyes
- have seen it.This clear shaped disc suddenly began turning.It rotated with
- increasing speed".
