Manuel Da Silva E Souza, the manager of an airfield at Itaperuna, observed on the ground a transparent egg-shaped object, lit up by a powerful bluish light. The witness approached to within 150 feet of the object, which was about 8 feet high and less than that in width, and could see a humanoid figure less than 3-foot tall and wearing a khaki uniform with boots who walked around the UFO once, then stopped and seemed to be looking at the witness for a minute or two. Then the being rose up into the air above the craft, and entered it feet first. De Silva could see two other similar entities inside the transparent object. After the first had entered, these others put their hands on something beside them, and the craft rose into the air and flew off. The incident lasted no more than 4 minutes.
