CONtsACTS IN BRAZIL (continued from bulletin No. 6)

So far four people have. claimed to have contacted entities from other worlds
end all the four are state of Sao raulo residents. Three of them live right here
and the other lives in near-by Santos. ‘ie have abridged the stories of F.A. or
Fidelis, or Dino Kraspedon,the case of ,warcilio Godoi was covered by "A.P.k.G. ke
porter” and The Flying Saucer. Now we have two cases left. we will call them the
"Rossi case" and "the Guimaraes case", Like the two former cases mentioned, the-
re is no reason whatever to even slightly suppose that the contacts are authentic.
fhey are not. Don't ask us the reasons for telling liés. I believe the liars _then
selves would find it extremely difficult to tell. themselvés why they have lied. ~
Perhaps ane or two of them "know" that they lied, but at least two believe that. ~~
they have not lied:"Mr. Guimaraés and‘Mr, Rossi,. If we were allowed to suggest

te reasons why these contact stories were concocted we would put it this way:

Fidelis (F.A.) --partly out of vanity, partly to make money; he want
people to know how wise he is, how sharp is his sense to ask unanswe-
rable questions and also to offer a theory for the saucer's propulsion.
He.is terribly in need of money and think he can live as a writer.

Godoi: does not want to make money; just likés to have a crowd around
him to Listen to his wild yarns.

Rossi:. Wants to make money, but believes he went to Venus. Hallucina-
tion.

b j Guimaraes: Hallucination. Does not want to write a book. Preaches love
among all human beings. Wants atomic explosions to stop. hystic,

Rossi and Fidelis have written books. Rossi has piaily said that he wants to
make money. Nice honest fellow. Ficelis, a shark, Is going to write some more
books atcout saucers. At the cottom he is amusing himseli DUgELY > s

Since Rossi has written ea book, he will be the last one we will deal with,

et us take the recent case orf Professor Joao Freitus Guimaraes, wno got the
headlines not orfly in Brazil but also in Europe. We are herein conveying first
hand invormation. ‘ve hate to exnose Yrofessor Guimaruzes eas another hoaxer, because
he hss always been a very respectable citizen. He teaches xoman Code at the Law
School of Santos; he is rresident of the Lawyers Association; he is Chairmen for
several high institutions and belongs to a tradibional family in Seo Paulo. None-
theless his story is not tme. The maximum we allow him-is that he has had an
hallucination and thaviis tale has been concocted for "a good cause",

About the Guimaraes case we have written extensively to Lex D. Mebane, Vice-
President of Civilian Saucer Investigation of New fork, 245 West 104th Street,
New York 25+ N.Y. Also on August 23 we mailed a letter to Major Donald E. keyhoe,
Director of NICAP adout the same subject. Since this last letter contains the
story abridged, we reprint it partly:

"I have written extensively to Mr. Alexander D. Mebane of CSI of New York,
about a very recent Adamski-like alleged contact. Perhaps by now you know every-
thing about it, but since I am sure that it is another hoax and that the long
many thousands of miles between USA and Brazil might turn a hoax into a fact, I
am herewith sending a few details.

"lt seems that flying saucers got fed up with so much visiting Salta'in the
Argentine or the British Isles and Have now shifted their attention to Brazil. Of
late the strange objects heave been plaguing Brazil with their sudden appearances
and eguelly sudden disappearances, Naturally it is not possible for anypoody to
know why this is happening now in Brazil but the frequence of saucer sightings
has now reached what could be termed as a peas to our standards.

. "Generally speaking newspapers don't pay much attention to "common sightings";
these common sightings. are no longer news due to theix almost monotonous pattern.

But when someone claims to have made contact with beings from other worlds, then
things become quite different and saucers, even if derisively so, get first page
attention,

"On August 13 1957 practically all newspapers in Sao Paulo published the
story of a new contact. The thing seemed to be hot news because the protegonist
was Dr. Joao Freitas Guimaraes a respectable professor at the Santos Law School.
I know that five days before the news got newspaper's attention Jose Escobar Fa-
ria had been in Santos trying to interview Mr. Guimaraes, but this latter turned.
his back on Escobar, saying, over the telephone, that the case was being investi
sated by Aeronautical Authorities, to whom Escobar should as his questions.
Smelling a rat, Escobar brought his attempted investigation to a close and later
pointed out. to the Press, the similarity between Guimaraes’ and Adamski alleged
contact. Five days later the papers disclosed the news about Guimaraes. (These
were now my exact words to.Major Keyhoe, but the essence is the same. Editor).

AS9 Allegedly on June 15 or 16 (about 14 months ago) Mr. Guimaraes was calmly
oe watching the waves from a sitting position from a Sao Sebastiao beach in the
pete Sao Paulo coast. It was about 19:00 6 clock local time (22:00 GM?) dark,
cold clear night: lir. Guimaraes attention was suddenly called to something bulky
‘poised right were the waves touched the sandy beach. Although the thing was sur-
rounded by a reddish glow, Guimaraes's first thought was that a whele had gotten
itself stranded. A whale is not a common sight around Sao Sebastiao but it is not
. too rare either. Besides the bulky thing was spouting some water into the air,
Soon however, Guimara es realized that he had before him a 20 meters-wide con-
traption whose general shape was like the saucers usually.seen in magazines. The
thing was about 6 or 7 meters high. Besides the red glow around the periphery,
there was another glow on the top of 2 dome, Guimaraes said he saw distinctly
two - I repeat - two balls under the belly of the disc, as though they were lan-
ding gear balls. Amazed he got up exactly when a hatch from the saucer lower
part opened and a flight of steps was lowered toward the ground. Two men came
down the steps and walked strsight to the place where Guimaraes was. Sort of
startled Guimaraes spoke to them in Frortuguese, in English, in French and Ita-
lian, wanting to.know whether they were in trouble and needed some help. ‘the men
trom the sauéer never opened their mouths to answer him. Then Guimaraes became
: aware that he was mentally or telepathically being invited to go inside the
disc end even if he wished to take a little trip aboard it. Guimaraes doubted
his senses, but. egain and insistently the same forceful impression came to his
mind, He then decided to enter the craft. He walked between the two men. When
they were well inside the ship, the hatch wes closed and Guimaraes sat on a
curved sofa, facing the portholes. Soon he heard a humming sound which increased
in pitch until the frequency was too high for him to notice it. He was taking
seh. ; ti | js
The trip lested for 40 minutes and the craft landed about 60 meters from the
starting point on the Sao Sebastiao beach. During the trip, a few minutes after
take-off, the saucar started vibrating and Guimaraes rather afraid asked one of
the crew-members whether they were having some trouble. The mental answer he re-
ceived was: “We are leaving your planet's atmosphere; we are then shifting to a

magnetic means of propulsion.”

Through the port-holes Guimaraes could see that they had passed a very dark

zone, “lousy” with stars and flaming clouds and were now approaching a zone of
very intense violet light. He.could see the earth as a blue sphere about 1/4

the size of the full moon. According to the newspapers Guimaraes reckoned he
had been just out of the earth atmosphere ~ 5CO to 700 kilometors high. Then
the saucer again passed the dark zone and‘soon landed. Joao Freitas Guimaraes

é rushed out of the saucer without looking back. Upon arriving at the hotel where

he was staying for the night, he noticed that it was 20:25 6 clock (23,25 Gu?)
and he then corrected his anti-magnetic wrist watch that had stopped working
soon after he entered the saucer,

Answering reporters questions Guimaraes said that there were five people

manning the saucer, but he had only seen three of them. buring the whole trip

hs was chaperoned by a standing crew-member. All men were tall, beardless, blonde
and their hair reached to their shculders. whey seemed to be of a nordic type.
They never spoke among themselves, Their eyes were blue and full of kindness.
They dressed a sort of ski-suits, green in color; their shoes seemed to be made
of green rubber. It would be difficult to say whether they were men or women,
(hey refused to tell their origin. All the time Guimarses spoke aloud in Fortu-

Ce

gsuese and the answers were always telepathic. They had come-on a mission of in-
vestigation and of warning. An appointment for a new meeting.had been agreed
upon, for August 12 1957 about the same time and on the same spot. Guimarees had
not made good his word because someone belonging: to. his. family: had died the day
before. He had kept the ‘secret for 14 months. (since June-15-or.16 1956), but-Dr.
Lincoln. Feliciano, State Kepresentative. had let the cat out of the bag. That's
why the newspapers knew about his adventure and that's. why on August 12 sii

sO many people including reporters had gone to Sao sebastiao.

He added that within our atmosphere the central body and the flahge-like rim
of the disco rotate contrarywise, thus producing "ethérization" and half ea vacaun,
This vacuum reaches 300 meters on any desired direction and the saucer-moyas by
constantly being impelled toward this vacuum by the air pressure, There's a
special device on the top of the dome and around the outer rim of the flange,
giving. off.an incandescent. light: this is the process of filtering some rays.
When out of planets‘ atmospheres the propulsion is then shifted to "magnetic".

On August l4tn, IV Channel 3, es advertized, would present. Guimaraes between
12:00 and 13:00 6 clock, local time, At home I, watched him being questioned by.
two announcers. I went to the studios and -arrived.there just when the-interview
was et its end, Guimaraes had repeated the whole story. It was agreed-that he .
would appear on a night show'on august 20th at the same station,-at about 22:00
‘6 clock for a longer Show, I was invited: to: ‘be: present and accepted. —

I tried in. ‘vain to talk. ¥o Guimaraes privately but. the crowd of curious peo-
ple was tremendous. Finally I gov his permission to drive. hin to his -home.in..
BenEOs with me were ny wife,. Dr, Merio. Cintra Gordinho. and. Dr, Jayme Velez; the

on behalf of mankind welfare and that I thought that he Guimaraes had done the
same thing for the same good purposes. I emphasized that some lies are worth
telling. Guimaraes just looked at me as though agreeing but he did not commit
himself. Mrs. Simoes requested description of the saucer and a reproduction of
the conversation Guimaraes had maintained with the crew-members, iis told her
"everything" in two minutes, She pointed out that any of us would be able to
reproduce with almost all details the conversation we were keeping for 40 minu-
tes, whereas he seemed to be’unable to reproduce his’ own conversation with the
"Martians". Guimaraes had a hard time to refrain his anger and offered no answer.
Then he blurted out that he. was not authorized to tell everything he knew. Even
if he did ~ he said - he would not be believed or would be taken as a lunatic.

On August 19th. some reporter called to learn what I thought about flying sau-
cers, I told them. I also told that I had no reasons to believe that contacts
have ever been established and that in all probability hir. Guimaraes (I did not
mention his name) like many others was a mystic and like a new Messiah was doing
his best to save the. world. At that time I had made-up my mind ‘to be absent from
the incoming: longer TV show. that would take place on the following night; ‘hen I
communicated to Dr. Cintra Gordinho and Jayme Velez that in ali'probability ir.
Guimaraes, if asked again, would deny that he had seen the earth from a distance
and would also use a few-tricks I had slyly taught hin.

On the TV show, answering direct questions Guimaraes flatly denied that he had
seen the earth from a distance; the papers = he said - had distorted his declara-
tions. He added that he knew of an investigator in Sao Paulo, who was writing e
book about saucers (your editor) who would illustrate his book with authentic

Guimaraes, fortunately for Him, did not mention my name.

When he first disclosed the news, all papers published that Guimaraes had an
appointment to meet the sky-people on last August 12; when we took him to Santos
he said the papers had lied; he had never made such a statement. Nevertheless on
the evening of August 20 he confirmed on TV questionsé answers program that in
fact he had an appointment for some day in August 1957. He was not sure of the
dey because the saucer people had shown him the signs of the Zodiac and he after
some reckoning thought it would be around August 12th.

Guimarases- said that although people from other worlds are far more advanced
and powerful than erthians they do not want to intervene personally on earthian
matters and because governments are not cooperative, they select simple people
who by their way of living can make © better propaganda pro peace and the prohi-
bition of nuclear experiments. . sory a!

Guimaraes came to the ZV station followed by most of his students, who. brought
& paper signed by them all testifyng that Guimaraes is a nice professor, a res-
pectable citizen and that they believed him. the station was crowded with other
people who were unknown to Guimaraes, Addressing the crowd one of the announcers
asxed whether there was anybody who could witness, or stand:ss a witness that
Guimaraes was not lying. here were two people, but only one spoke. It was itr,
Jorge Pereira. | . oe |

Mr, Pereira said he was a real-estate dealer in Santos. Many months ago, when
he was leaving a party near the beach he had seen a flyi Saucer. He had told
his friends about his skghting but nobody paid much attention. He was laughed
into silence; many a time: Professor Guimaraes asked him jokingly whether he had
seen many flying saucers lately. Then, very amazed, through the news, Pereira
had learned that Guimaraes - the joker - had also seen his saucer and even had
taken a short trip aboard one of those machines. Since the papers had written
that a-néw meeting: between @uimaraes and the saucer people would take place on
August 12 in Sao Sebastiao, Pereira had gone to that place to watch the-coming
of the saucer. There are many beaches around Sao Sebastiao and vereira knew-not
which one it would be, therefore he- hired a horse-drawn vehicle and with the
cart driver and two of his nephews he searched almost all beaches for Guimaraes,
Tt was 20:13 6 clock local time (23:13 GMT) when the four travelers spotted a
green light doing zig-zags and up-and-downs beside a mountain island. ‘Yhe thing
sot nearer quickly causing the driver and: ore of his‘nephews to flee shamelessly.
The object was a greenish disc of light and when it banked over the waves they
coulda see that there was a landings gear exactly es described by Guimaraes. ‘hen
Mr. vereira realized that the saucer had made: good its promise of coming back
on august 12, but that for some reason wuimeraes was nowhere tobe seen, After
a while the saucer went into the clouds and disappeared. Soon after rereira no-

there and arrived when the crowd was dispersing in disappointment because: the

tke previous eyening wbre. waiting for the saucer, also came to Ilha Bela to
snot a few photos. At lunch time on the resort place, they were all together,
when an Ilha Bela City Hall representative entered the restaurant and started
' telling them about a saucer he had seen the night before, at about 22:15 6 clock

terested in Mr. vereira's testinony; all he wished was to.address irnonical ques-
tions to Guimaraes who never betted an eyelid and esnwered as best as he could.

Guimaraes was unable to tell whether the saucer was metallic or not. ‘the in-
side walls were coated by Something fibrous but not plastic, Systematically
Guimarees evaded almost all questions put by serious investigators who soon saw
that the wholé thing: was another hoaz. ‘the only reason why Guimaraes got the
tremendous publicity -or-popularity was due to his-high position, this however,
means nothing in this case. she best advice is to ignore Guimaraes & contact,

Case 166, Yonkers, N. Y. June 29, 30, July 3, 1956—The
Herald-Statesman of Yonkers, July 5 said: “Skywatchers re-
port thrilling post-midnight sight... .It is of orange color,
more nearly red. To one with a 30-power telescope, it appears
round, then oval. It was moving at what seemed to be con-
siderable speed. One report is that the phenomenon was noted
after I am. on Saturday. Another report tells of the orange-
in-the-sky around the same hour or a little later just ahead of
the rainstorm... .” While the remainder of the newspaper’s

item gibbered in ridicule, a letter received from
of Yonkers, describes his observations in more detail. Said

Wiegers:

“ . .. I phoned the Herald- Statesman and spoke to Oxie Reichler,
editor, regarding my sighting cn June 29-30. He asked, ‘Are you
talking about the orange colored thing seen in the sky over Yonkers?’
I told that I didn’t know anyone else saw anything and not to
use my name if he were to write a story. Replied Reichler, ‘We got
a report that a red ball was seen before 2 . oniy this morning
(July 3). There were others, too, ...’” a described
his sighting of June 29 as follows: “9:45 p.m., clear evening, no
wind. My wife pointed to a round, reddish-orange light to the left
of the big dipper. It seemed to giow and was not too sharply
defined in outline to the naked eye and emitted no sound. A moment
before I had been observing Saturn with my 30x60 mm. Bausch &
Lomb Balscope and turned when my wife said, ‘Look at that pe-
evliar light.’ Quickly swinging the scope around, I first looked
with naked eye and saw it standing still and silent. Then_ sighting
it in the scope, it appeared orange, of a flashing brilliance. Suddenly,
it began to move north and I soon found it extremely hard to keep
in vision due to its accelerating speed. | tracked it for about 13 sec-
onds befcre it faded from view in the direction of West Point.

“On June 30. I was alone on the back porch about 10:30 p.m.
and saw another object coming from the south. It was going direct-
ly overhead. My scope was net properly focused for this object but
I recall it was of a silvery-whitish color and oval in shape. This, too,
went by very rapidly and s‘lently. I confess I] was unprepared, and
