A number of independent witnesses reported and described the close encounter of a UFO at a beach near Niteroi; it was a disc-shaped craft emitting orange light, and made several low-level passes over the beach before briefly landing. One witness, Professor Sohail Saud, said he saw occupants inside the object, who were wearing helmets. Others said the object hovered 10 meters above the water, emitting a soft hum and spinning on its axis.
