Fighter jets chased mysterious bright objects – some of them 300 ft wide and traveling at 11,500 mph – in Brazil’s epic ‘Night of the UFOs’.

Five bewildered pilots testified to seeing 21 objects appear and disappear, while hundreds of troops on the ground also witnessed them – and air force chiefs admitted: “there is no explanation.”

What happened is set to form a part of a hearing taking place in the Brazilian Senate into UFOs this week.

The event comes after Congress held a hearing response to footage taken from US Navy fighter planes showing mysterious, unexplained objects darting in the sky – the now famous ‘Tic-Tac’ video.

But the story of what unfolded on a night in Brazil a decade before those videos were taken is every bit as mind boggling.

Over several hours, hundreds of witnesses, including the elite of the country’s military, saw strange objects that seemed to move at a terrifying speed.

Pilots found themselves looking at objects in front of them that didn’t appear on their aircraft radars – and sometimes the other way around – as the objects played “cat and mouse” with them.

The first signs of anything unusual were reported by Brazilian air force air traffic controller, Sergeant Sergio Mota da Silva, on the evening of May 19, 1986.

He spotted a light in the sky from the control tower of an airport near the city of Sao Paulo.

“It doesn’t go up or down, it doesn’t go to the left or to the right, it’s just standing there”, he said

Mota asked controllers at Sao Paulo’s international airport if any planes were heading to his airfield, to which they replied there weren’t.

At one point he said he dimmed the lights on the airport’s runway, making the objects come towards the control tower and then, when he turned up the brightness, they moved away.

“Autokinesis is a visual illusion where a light can appear to move when stared at in the dark. It occurs most often on dark nights in areas with few visual cues (such as other lights or other illuminated objects or landmarks). This can be dangerous for pilots flying at night, as they may well mistake this apparent motion for movements of their aircraft making corrections with dangerous consequences.

The phenomenon of autokinesis was first observed by Alexander von Humboldt, when he observed the apparent wandering of stars. Schweizer noticed that these apparent movements varied according to the observer, concluding that the sternschwanken were subjective. It was Aubert who coined the term "autokinesis" in 1887.”

THAT is some mighty quick mental geometry, mi Amigo! Que Listo. No soy capaz de eso mientras vuelo.

They DID just elect a new el Presidente in Brazil. So, you know, there's that to bounce stuff off of.

I drink a lot on my return-home legs, too... Empathy. Sooooo much empathy.

I've had crew members flying into Sao Paolo who never broke the code on this. But they could always spend 15 minutes discussing a 5 second play during the FOOOOOTBAWWWL game the night before.

Si, entiendo.

You know they speak Portuguese and not Spanish in Brazil right?

Sí, estás en lo correcto. Es solo que no hablo portugués, así que uso el español como proxy. Te daré puntos de bonificación si puedes decirme POR QUÉ no hablan español en Brasil.
Pista: es en parte la misma razón por la que ahora ya no tenemos acceso al aborto en Norte América.

By the way, good job with the call out! I didn't think any 'Muricans would even notice. It's all "brown people" these days. Maybe you need a refresher course.

Funny you missed the easy play. They have not yet elected their new president in Brazil. That won't happen 'til October.

Just way too ... Teasy. Easy. Peasy.

Just. Like. Voter. Fraud. Lies. ...En Norte América.
