Brazil's UFO Case: Operation Saucer - Secret Military Investigation into the Colares UFO Encounters

In 1977, reports of mysterious lights, alleged beams and physical effects around Colares, Brazil, prompted the Brazilian Air Force to launch Operação Prato—Operation Saucer. Military investigators interviewed witnesses, conducted night observations and documented unidentified luminous phenomena across Pará.

In Episode 2 of International UAP Sightings, Matt Tones examines what the military records reveal, which claims remain unverified and why the Colares UFO encounters became one of history’s most significant government UAP investigations. Brazil’s National Archives maintains an official collection of Aeronautics Command UFO records containing reports, photographs, drawings, audio and video material.
