Mysterious video taken from an infrared camera shows multiple UFOs flying through the sky over Brazil, then vanishing. Brazilian officials have not offered any explanation for the video, despite it going viral on social media throughout the country.
According to a report by CNN Brazil, the footage was taken at around 8:30 p.m. local time on July 8 in Sao Pedro, a city in the metropolitan region of Piracicaba, in the interior of Sao Paulo. One area resident told the media outlet that the UFOs did not move in any conventional way. They also stated that it did not look like any standard aircraft.
What witnesses said about the UFO sighting
“What caught my attention was that they were lights that had a brightness much greater than that of an airplane”, said the witness who recorded the UFO footage. “It was a white glow that oscillated […] And so, there were several points, which did not all appear simultaneously. It followed a path and suddenly it became brighter and disappeared. Then, suddenly, another light appeared in another place [in the sky].”
CNN Brazil also reports that these or similar UFOs have been appearing in the region since last year. One local resident even said it happens at least once a week.
“It’s quiet here, there’s no airplane noise,” the local resident said. “I also thought it might suddenly be a rural drone. I can’t understand how far away they [the lights] are, but the fact is that they appear and leave us wondering.”
Brazil is a known hot spot for UFO and alien activity
The Brazilian National Archives contain at least 26 reports of UFOs being seen by pilots, controllers and people to the Air Force Command in 2024.
The country is also well-known in the UFO community for “the Varginha incident” which occurred on January 20, 1996. Dubbed “Brazil’s Roswell,” the Varginha incident involved numerous witnesses claiming to have seen aliens amid experienced numerous UFO sightings over a period of multiple days, following by some sort of investigation or intervention by Brazilian military.
