From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

At 12:00 pm of January 16, 1958, Brazilian ship Almirante Saldanha, taking part of the projects of Ano Geofísico Internacional, was preparing for sailing away from Ilha de Trindade, off the coast of Rio de Janeiro.

Among the crew of the ship, there was a member of the Brazilian Air Force, Captain José Teobaldo Viegas, the submarine photographer Almiro Baraúna, several more scientists and a group of highly trained explorers.

Captain Viegas was at the deck with several scientists and members of the crew when he suddenly noticed a flying object, which has a “ring” around it, just like Saturn. Everyone has seen the UFO at the same time.

It came to the island from the east, flied towards the Pico Desejado (Wished Peak), made a step turn and went away very quickly to the northwest.

As soon as the object was noticed Almiro Baraúna was requested for photographing. After getting the camera and going up the quarter-deck, he managed to take great pictures of the object.

After disclosed, the pictures were exhaustingly analyzed by the Laboratório de Reconhecimento Aéreo da Marinha and by the Serviço Aerofotogramétrico Cruzeiro do Sul. All the pictures were considered genuine, taken from a real occurrence, with the certification of military personnel. The pictures even received confirmation from the president Juscelino Kubitschek.
