1986 FAB UFO Records (Noite dos OVNIs)

The envelope assembles FAB primary records from the night air-defense radars at ANDA, SCDA, and other sites tracked unidentified contacts across Anápolis, São José dos Campos, and Santa Cruz airspace on May 19, 1986. Mirage III (F-103) and F-5E fighters from JG 11 Group / 1° GpAvCa were scrambled in successive waves, with pilots including Cap Armindo Souza Viriato de Freitas, Cap Márcio Brisolla Jordão, 1° Ten Kleber Caldas Marinho, and Cap Av JG 98 filing written reports. Pilots describe radar JUDITH locks, supersonic pursuits to Mach 1.05, targets manoeuvring at 10 to 20 NM separation, and a three-color (green, red, white) pulsing light coincident with ground-radar plots from THOR. The package also lists the ten named officers and pilots who participated, including Col Av Sidney Obino Azambuja, chief of staff of NUCAMDABRA.
