1950, SOUZA, PARAIBA, BRAZIL, SYLVIA MEDEIROS:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

Brazilian ufologist Gilberto Santos de Melo indicates that close to the town of Souza, Paraiba, Brazil, Silvia Medeiros, aged 30, who resided near the mountains, saw a flying disc from which three small beings came out, small as dwarves. They remained there during 15 minutes exploring the location, as if they were in the search of something.

She observed these beings, unable to do anything more as she was alone at her house, which is sufficiently far away from the town of Souza. The small men collected some rocks and entered the disc and left.

At the end of several days, when Silvia Medeiros went to the city, she told the story to her closest friends.

Narratives:

[Ref. sm1:] GILBERTO SANTOS DE MELO:

Brazilian ufologist Gilberto Santos de Melo indicates that close to the town of Souza, Paraiba, Brésil, Silvia Medeiros, aged 30, who resided near the mountains, saw a flying disc from which three small beings came out, small as dwarves. They remained there during 15 minutes exploring the location, as if they were in the search of something. Silvia Medeiros remained to observe these beings, unable to do anything more as whe was alone at her house, which is sufficiently far away from the town of Souza. The small men collected some rocks and entered the disc and left. At the end of several days, when Silvia Medeiros went to the city, she told the story to her closest friends.

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales lists a case of 1950 at an unknown exact date and time which occurred in Souza, Paraiba, Brazil, when Silvia Medeiros saw at her farm near the city a large disc shaped object land on a field. A hatch opened and three small creatures resembling dwarfs emerged. The creatures walked for 15 minutes, and looked around seemingly looking for something. The creatures finally collected some rocks and went back inside the craft, and the craft quickly took off at high speed. Rosales indicates that his source is the Centro Paraibano de Ufologia, and specified that there isn't a more detailed description of the creatures in this early Brazilian UFO and occupants report.

Points to consider:

Obvious lack of data so far.
