Two spherical objects hovering two meters above ground, a few meters from the house.
Raimundo da Silva (see previous cases) testified before the police that while working in a field, he saw two spherical objects hovering two meters above ground, a few meters from the house. One was black with an antenna-like protrusion and a small tail; the other was black and white. Both emitted a humming sound and a flickering fire through an opening. The boy's father warned him to stay away as Rivalino walked toward the objects, praying. When he was two meters away, the two spheres merged into one, raising dust from the ground and spreading a yellow mist that enveloped the man. The boy ran after his father, noting that the cloud had "an acrid smell." As it dissolved, everything had vanished. Police investigation, headed by Lieutenant Lisboa, failed to reveal any clue. Many terrified people left the area. Traces found.One yellow ball, about 20 feet across, was observed by one male child in a yard briefly (Aleuia; Mafra Da Silva). A 3-foot-tall apparition was seen.
