JULY 11, 1978, ALTO DA MOOCA, SAO PAOLO, BRAZIL, A WOMAN:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

"Revista Brasileira Ovni" reportedly indicated that in Alto Da Mooca, Sao Paolo, Brazil, on July 11, 1978, at 11:00 p.m., a 44-year-old woman was watching a television program as her three sons were sleeping in their room.

Suddenly, her small dog began acting in a strange manner, running around in circles inside of the house, running from the kitchen and to the door that led out into the yard, apparently trying to get out.

Curious, the woman walked towards the door and heard a loud "mechanical" sound of unknown origin. As she opened the door, she was confronted to two short humanoids standing side by side, appearing to hover just above the ground right by the door.

Behind the humanoids, she could see an oval-shaped craft that had apparently landed in the middle of the yard on three metallic leg-like protrusions.

One of the beings approached the now paralyzed woman and made gestures as if to calm her down, while the other humanoid floated above the ground looking around as if searching for something.

The only movement that the woman was able to make was to raise her arms up to her chest. She could not utter a word.

The humanoid closest to her caressed her head, while the other floated towards the UFO. The humanoid that had been standing next to her floated to the door of the UFO and removed an aluminum container from his belt. The container illuminated the yard in a bizarre yellow "coherent" light that appeared solid. The beam of light would enlarge, then decrease in size intermittently. The beam of light was directed towards the kitchen area, the yard and into the landed UFO.

The humanoid aiming the beam of light then proceeded to take a small cylinder-shaped object from his belt; which then emitted a vaporous cloud of smoke that covered both humanoids.

She described the humanoids as about 1.25 meters in height, wearing round metallic helmets on their heads, silver in color. In the front part of the helmet, there was a blue dim lit area. Inside the helmets she noticed faces lacking irises or eyelids, and round dark eyes. Their skin appeared yellowish. They had small flat noses and lacked ears and mouths. Where the mouth should have been, there was a round metallic plate.

Their one-piece suits were light gray in color and both had belts with numerous gadgets hanging from them. Their bodies were very thin, and their heads were disproportionally large compared to the rest of their bodies. One of the humanoids was somewhat heavier and appeared to be a female; this one had a metallic disc on the chest area, about 15 cm in diameter, with a small white light in the middle. The other humanoid did not have such a disc.

The UFO was metallic and oval-shaped with several oval-shaped portholes and what appeared to be antennas on the top and a multicolored sphere of light on the top that emitted numerous flashes of light.

During the encounter, the woman perceived a total silence in the area, like a vacuum. Also during the encounter, she perceived a strong smell resembling ammonia and felt extremely cold.

Seconds later, the humanoids beckoned to the woman to come with them, and obtaining no response, they they waved at her and boarded the object.

Soon, a plume of smoke emerged from the bottom of the object and it began to ascend. Two bright yellow lights became visible, and the craft disappeared into the distance.

Before it left, the woman thought she saw another figure through an open porthole in the object.

Moments after the object had gone, the woman was able to move again. She ran terrified to notify her family, and they noticed that she was "cold and very pale."

"The humanoid closest to her caressed her head while the other floated towards the UFO, situated in the middle of her yard. The being standing next to her then floated to a door in the UFO and removed from his belt an aluminum container. The container illuminated the yard in a bizarre yellow "coherent" light that appeared solid. The beam of light would enlarge, then decrease in size intermittently. The beam of light was directed towards the kitchen area, the yard and into the landed UFO.

"Moments later the witness was again able to move. She ran to notify her family who said she appeared cold and very pale. She described the humanoids as 1.25 meters in height, wearing round silver metallic helmets on their heads. In the front of the helmet was a blue dimly lit area. Their faces inside the helmets appeared yellowish, and their eyes were round and dark, and lacked irises or eyelids. They had small flat noses and seemed to lack ears or mouths. Where the mouth should have been was a round metallic plate. Their one-piece suits were light gray in color and both had belts with numerous gadgets. Their bodies were very thin, and their heads were disproportionately large. One of the humanoids was somewhat heavier and appeared to be a female; this one had a metallic disc-shaped emblem or plate on the chest, about 15 cm in diameter with a small white light in the middle. The other humanoid's uniform lacked one. The object was metallic and oval in shape with several oval-shaped portholes. It had antennae and a multicolored sphere of light on the top.
