Dear colleagues of the World UFO Community:
As of May 04th, Brazilian Government has diclosed over 600 new pages of previously classified documents, covering UFO reports and military investigations from 1970 to 1979, including photos and films, for the first time.
The content of this material has now been examined and proved to be very interesting and revelatory of Brazilian official strategy to cover UFO cases, often openly regarded as "from external sources" in these new documents, meaning from outside Earth. The cases covered and the methods used to investigate them by the military are also very significant.
On my oppinion, the most important material contained in this new declasification are 195 new pages of documents resulted from the Operation Saucer, conducted in the Amazon by the Brazilian Air Force from September to December 1977, that is certainly the biggest *known* official innitiative to military investigate UFOs in the world.
As I also reported, so far, over 1,400 pages of Brazilian previously classified UFO documents have been released thanks to the eforts of the Brazilian UFO Researchers Committee (CBU), through the campaign UFOs: Freedom of Information Now, started in 2004 and articulated by the Brazilian UFO Magazine. This last one has been the biggest disclosure ever in Brazil.
The PDF files of 12 envelopes or folders now released can be can be downloaded at: 301 Moved Permanently. Please read below a summary of the contents of each envelope or folder and pay special attention to this one: Folder 10 - 1978, downloadable at http://www.ufo.com.br/public/abertura_2/CENDOC_ENVELOPE_10_1978.pdf, with 195 pages of Operation Saucer material.
Brazilian UFO researchers are very excited about these new disclosures, that inquestionably prove that our efforts have been profitable for the entire Brazilian UFO Community.
