Description

On October 1 1995, fishermen Fernando Beserra and Wilson da Silva Oliveira say they were gathering their nets on an island called Ilha do Major, in São Paulo, Brazil, when they saw a disc-shaped UFO which was emitting a bright yellow hue flying overhead.

Fernando added: "When the light was over our heads, it changed direction and went to a small island, where it landed. On the lower part of the UFO there was a number spinning lights.

"We made about 10 attempts until the engine started and then we left as fast as we could.

"We could see that the UFO had landed on a small island located between us and the mangroves of the Piaçabuçu river."

They then panicked back home.

This event took place only a few months before the Varginha crash and was even in a neighboring state to the Varginha crash.
