In Lins, Sao Paolo, Brazil, on October 2, 1968, at 06:20 a.m., while oiling his bulldozer's or tractor's engine, Toribio Pereira saw at only a few feet away, a cigar shaped craft of golden color, hovering about 30 cm above the ground.
He then saw, on a platform that extended from the base of the object, a person who drew from his sleeve a weapon resembling an electric drill, which he pointed at him. This device emitted a bright flash and Pereira found himself paralyzed.
He could see, however, that inside the cigar, which had a glass roof, there was a man using both hands on a sort of typewriter. Below, on the extended platform outside the object, he saw three men standing. One of these was taking soil samples with a "conch shaped object."
The men were lean, about 5 feet 5 inches tall, and dressed in blue knee length robes, hoods, and brown sandals with cross garters to the knees.
Then the craft flashed a very vivid light three times, the platform retracted, and under the cigar appeared "something like an electric polisher, rotating at high speed." It then took off with a slight sound.
Pereira, in a state of near shock, was given a lift to his home; from there he reported to the Town Council offices. Because of his nervous condition, he was sent to a medical examination, upon which Dr. Antonio Geris found him entirely normal.
It is reported that officials of the Brazilian Air Force later subjected him to an intense interrogation. This took place in the midst of a flap of UFO reports in the area.

[Ref. jv1:] JACQUES VALLEE:
Jacques Vallée indicates in his catalogue of UFO landings that on October 9, 1968 at 06:20, in Lins, Brazil, Doribio Pereira, 41, municipal employee, suddenly observed a golden, cigar-shaped object, and a figure armed with a flashing weapon that immobilized him. Three beings were standing on a platform under the craft, and another figure appeared to be using a keyboard inside the transparent top part. The object took off rapidly, leaving the witness in a state of shock. Vallée indicates that his source is FSR 69, 1.

Albert Rosales indicates that in Lins, Sao Paolo, Brazil, on October 2, 1968, at 06:20 a.m., while oiling his bulldozer's engine, Doribio Pereira saw at only a few feet away, a cigar shaped craft of golden color, hovering a foot or so above the ground.
He then saw, on a platform that extended from the base of the object, a person who drew from his sleeve a weapon resembling an electric drill, which he pointed at him. This device emitted a bright flash and Pereira found himself paralyzed.

[Ref. cc1:] CLAUDEIR CORVO:
In a listing of Brazilian best cases, Claudeir Corvo notes that in Lins, Sao Paulo, Brazil, on October 2, 1968, the tractor driver Toríbio Pereira was abducted by a flying disc. He adds the sentence that I cannot comprehend, "The being reproduced himself through a liquid removed of the thigh." ("O ser se reproduzia através de um líquido retirado da coxa.")
[Ref. an1:] ANONYMOUS:
An anonymously published report on a Brazilian web forum about UFOs indicates that in the morning of October, 2, 1968, a UFO similar to a Kharman Ghia [sports car] was observed in Lins, State of Sao Paul. The top part of the UFO was transparent, and there was a crew member operating some type of equipment. One alien collecting samples of ground and another crew member were seen from a tractor nearby. The aliens had a human aspect.
[Ref. ac1:] ABRIL.COM.BR:
In a chronology of past historical events, headlined "30 years ago", a non-ufological Brazilian website lists this case with a somehow unclear indication the date was October 30, 1968.
They indicate that Toríbio Pereira, aged 41 years, told that he had been unable to move when a luminous ray emitted by a device used by the crew members of a flying disc hit him. Almost simultaneously, strange colored lights in the shape of a disc had started to move in the night on the fields near the city of Lins, in the interior of the state of São Paulo. Thousands of inhabitants of the city had already observed them. Enio Squeff and Carlos Namba, reporters of the SEE, also saw them.
[Ref. js1:] JOHN SCHLUESSER:
John Schluesser indicates that on October 9, 1968, according to "Official UFO" of February 1976, in Lins, Brazil, a witness saw a cigar-shaped object with four beings on board. One aimed a device at him. When it flashed, he was paralyzed.
All sources indicate the date as October 2, except for Jacques Vallée indicating October 9.
It seems that an investigation including a medical examination took place; it is unfortunate that the corresponding documents are not at hand.
