Description

16^(th) of November 1996. / 17.00 / Santos - Brazil
This is perhaps the single footage that shows a plane being downed by a UFO. Seconds after it passed the T-27 Tucano, the wing collapsed. The pilot bailed out at the see, the wing unfortunately killed a boy that was bathing in the sea.
The event was recorded live and the event was shown in the Globo’s sunday Program “Fantastico”. The feature was down to earth, very matter of fact. The explanation was that despite the airframe even under regular inspection suffered a major stress. They saw no connection between the Orb and the collapse of the wing.
This reproduction here is from a VHS tape, so there is some obvious degradation, but the original footage was very clear. This even is bonafide, and have been very underrated. It happened months after Varginha, and just before the outbreak of chupacabras in south Brazil.
