Belo Horizonte, Brazil
Light beam, physiological effects (vision loss and skin burns), heard voices in unintelligible language.
An object was observed. Physiological effects were noted. Telepathic phenomena were said to have occurred. Traces found. One object, around 100 feet away, was observed by one male 70-year-old witness in a city for 30 minutes (Joaquim).
Joaquim, a 70-year old farmer, watched a lighted object hovering about 50 paces away and approximately 15 meters above the ground for about 30 minutes. The object was flashing a beam of light around the terrain, and occasionally on the witness as he stood in a doorway. Due to the brilliance of the light, he shielded his face with his left arm. On one occasion the light struck his right eye, he later lost about 80% of the vision in that eye and his left arm was burned like sunburn. Joaquim heard voices, but couldn't understand the language. As the object glided away it hit some electric wires and broke one of them.
Hynek rating: CE2: Close Encounters of the Second Kind
Vallee rating: CE2: A CE1 that leaves landing traces or injuries to the witness.
