RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (AP) - Multicolored UFO's the side of ping-pong
balls were seen in the skies over Brazil on Monday, and the government
sent fighter jets to chase them, the air force minister said on television.

Because they saturated our radar system in Sao Paulo and because they
were interfering with air traffic, it was decided to send up planes
to pursue them, Brigadier Gen. Otavio Moreira lima said yesterday.

The air force immediately dispatched four fighter jets - two Mirages
and two F-5s  to find the flying objects, which the Air Space Defense
Center had located over the cities of Sao Paulo, Sao Jose dos Campos
and Rio de Janeiro.

One of the F-5 pilots reported seeing objects that he said were
multicolored, Moreira Lima said. adding, He reported that 13 of these
objects accompanied his aircraft.  Another pilot described the objects
as the shape and side of a ping-pong ball flying at a speed of (840 mph)
a leading news network, reported.

The jets, which also picked up the UFOs on their radar screens, tracked
them for almost three hours, but had to turn back when the planes
started to run out of fuel. I can't give an explanation for this because
we don't have any, said Moreira Lima.

PETALUMA, Calif. More then a dozen people reported seeing an unidentified
flying object hovering and darting over this suburban city north of San
Francisco early yesterday morning.

I looked up and saw seveal orange lights hovering in the sky, said
Sue Heart, who was delivering newspapers at 4:30 a.m. when the UFO
was sighted.

A California Highway patrolman described the fast flying object as
a large, orange X with white lights on the front.

All witnesses agreed it was not an airplane, and air-traffic and military
spokesmen in the area were unable to explain the object.

The sighting came three days after Brazilian air-force jets reportedly
chased more then a dozen fast-moving objects marked by intense green,
red and white lights.
