So serious that the Air Force ran a real investigation on it called Operation Prata.
And you have the Air Force making a very fascinating official statement on the whole thing.
But after that, other pilots in the Air Force reported very similar phenomena.
And long after that, and in the 80s, there were many reports by pilots from the Air Force that were documented.
I sat down with Jose Manuel Fernandes, who worked for the Brazilian Air Force for 34 years,
So you would agree with the Air Force Minister Brigadier Octavio Julio Morea Lima's statement that these things, we detected them, they were what they were, and that the facts are what they are.
actually an air traffic controller that also claimed that he said yousaf and he says the u.s air force

to control towers that are also supervised and controlled by the air force command so the information therefore is concentrated
Why did the British Prime Minister organize a committee inside the Royal Air Force, inside the RAF, to study these phenomena?
Why is it that in Brazil the Army and the Air Force created a unit to monitor these phenomena?
And in 1954, actually, in the Escola Superior de Guerra, you know, basically the National War College here, there was an Air Force Captain, Olivera, and he said this phenomena is real.
This ordinance has the objective naturally of concentrating information and the ability to make decisions regarding the behavior and actions surrounding these events in the Air Force,
The first action should be taken by the Air Force, naturally.
There is no longer just one Air Force.
Speaking of which, military attachés, when I was Minister of Defense, wouldn't introduce themselves as Air Force attachés.
