UFO seen in Passa Tempo in 1970

Summary

In September 1970, in the city of Passa Tempo in Minas Gerais, a 16-year-old named Hugo Lara Campos observed an unidentified aerial phenomenon. According to his account, the object appeared as a yellow light moving smoothly from east to west. Suddenly, it changed direction toward the north, increased in size, and its color shifted from yellow to orange. The young man's testimony coincides with that of his father, who also saw the event, though he did not witness the entire trajectory. The Brazilian Air Force recorded the case as part of its SIOANI archive, and the report includes details such as weather conditions, the exact location, and the observer's characteristics. Although no physical traces were found, the object made no noise and moved steadily, generating curiosity and debate.

The official report mentions that the object was seen at night, in a partially starry sky, and that several people in the city's main square also observed it. Despite the authorities arriving quickly, the UFO had already moved away. The young man's testimony, along with his father's, was considered consistent and reliable. This case, like many others, remains unexplained but contributes to the investigation files on unidentified aerial phenomena in Brazil.
