Brazil's Roswell

In September 1977, something amazing appeared in the night sky over the Brazilian island of Colares in the Amazon delta, a luminous object hovered about 15 feet over the water.



For nearly two months, strange flying objects visited the island - some big, some small, saucer-shaped, cigar-shaped, some luminous and some not.



Witnesses reported feeling as if their blood had been sucked from them by the strange rays. More than 30 residents suffered puncture wounds or burns after their encounters. Two islanders reportedly died from their injuries.



The Brazilian Air Force sent a task force to the island for three months and it returned with 300 night photos and several reels of film footage. Though a 500-page report was compiled, along with a catalogue of the sightings, maps, and interview transcripts, it was kept from the public.



Then, in May 2005, a few of the details were released, but many questions go unanswered.
