Ouro Preto, Brazil
Large round object hovered near ground, garbage cans overturned. No occupants seen, but the inference is that some creature got into the garbage.
A hovering object was observed. One round object was observed by two male witnesses in a city (Guedes; Von Kruger, M).
During a spate of UFO observations in various parts of Brazil, student Marco Antonio von Kruger noticed interference on his TV; glancing out a window, he saw a "vague shape in movement" and heard garbage cans being overturned; next day, he found the garbage cans had been "investigated." At about the same time, a worker returning to his home not far from the student's residence observed an enormous round object hovering near the ground from which were emitted "strange measured, muffled sounds."
