An object was observed. It departed by rapidly flying straight up until lost to sight. Physiological effects were noted. One cylinder was observed by one male witness, age 60 (Rodrigues). Two 4-foot-tall dwarves, each wearing a belt, were seen.

About the same time as the Bebedouro incident, a deaf mute named Antonio Rodrigues, 60, of the Fazenda Constantino on the Rio Das Velhas, was fishing when he was confronted by apparently the same type of being encountered by Da Silva at Bebedouro, 20 km to the east. When they made signs for the man to approach, he fled, terrified; he was pursued and knocked to the ground by an implement one of the little beings drew from his belt. They gathered around the deaf mute, felt his arm and conversed amongst themselves in an unintelligible language, and shook their heads, departing toward a machine parked nearby, into which they climbed and ascended vertically. The witness identified the beings from various drawings, including Da Silva's that were shown to him by the investigators.
