UFO sighted at Rio de Janeiro Airport in 1952

Summary

In May 1952, a civil aviation inspector in Brazil observed an unusual aerial phenomenon at the International Galeão Airport in Rio de Janeiro. The object, described as a rounded, bright blue metallic point, remained stationary in the sky for 10 minutes before slowly moving from left to right. After a long trajectory, it disappeared rapidly toward the horizon. Several witnesses at the airport confirmed the sighting, but no one could identify the object. The official communication did not reach a clear conclusion, ruling out options such as balloons, aircraft, or astronomical phenomena.
