Location. Chapada das Mesas, Maranhao, Brazil

Date: October 1977 Time: night

78-year old Jose Benedito Santos was hunting with friends in the area and while separated from the rest of the men he noticed an orange light hovering above some trees. Suddenly there was a bright beam of orange light that illuminated his surroundings like daytime and an object seemed to drop to the ground behind a group of trees a few meters away. Approaching the object Santos noticed that it was an oval shaped craft about 6 meters long with a red shiny center. Suddenly from behind the object a 1-meter tall figure appeared. The figure was wearing a silvery suit, with a transparent helmet equipped with antennae with red lights at the tip. As the figure approached Santos he panicked and apparently fainted, he woke up later surrounded by his friends wondering what had happened. The witness further described the humanoid as having large black eyes with a very penetrating stare. On one of its arms the humanoid had three golden stripes, the next day Santos felt weakness and noticed a small burn hole in his neck which was purple in color and healed in several days.
