  Mr. Serafim Sebastiao,married,aged 36,a security guard in the military
  installation of  Azores air station  was working that  night,when he noticed
  that the radio  was not receiving  properly.He got out  and observed an oval
  mettalic object with a "glass tower" on top.
    Two humanoids  were standing  there.Walking to  another point  he observed
  that instead of two  there were four beings,two  inside the object and   two
  outside.They were  moving,and when the  witness projected a  source of light
  all he could see was two of them wearing a suit which by the color,seemed to
  be   made  of   lead.Meanwhile  he   heard   a  sound   like  a   bee  hive.
    The  object  was reported  to  be 6  meters  in  diameter by  3  meters in
  height,it moved fast and the witness was caught by an extremely bright light
  followed by some fumes or dust that knocked him unconscious.

  Strange manoeuvres executed  by ufos were  observed by the  crew of a Boeing
  707,two workers from the Control Tower  at the airport,a worker in the hotel
  of Acoteias (Algarve),and several unnamed people all over the country.
      The ufo was said to be a main body extremely bright and blue, surrounded
  by otherhorizontal red or white lights.These were five to seven in number.
      Then,these lights separated from the  central body and exploded followed
  by an   enormous flash of light.
      Meanwhile,an airplane from the Portuguese  Airways (TAP) that was flying
  to southafrica almost hit the ufo which avoided it by changing direction.
      Two workers  from the  control tower  at the  airport observed  the same
  phenomenon  with  surprise.One of  them who  saw the  object with binoculars
  said it took off   with a speed three times faster than a jet aircraft.

      The "National Enquirer" dated on November 30,1976,published the
  following data about the case:
      "707 passenger jet on collision course with dazzling UFO"
  The dazzling ufo and  the Boeing 707 jetliner  carrying 101 passengers raced
  toward  each other  on a  collision course."We're  going to  crash!" thought
  co-pilot Armindo Pinto as he wrenched the plane into a steep bank.
      Startled  by the  violent manoeuver,capt.  Eloy Weigert,who  was checkin
  instruments,looked up in time  to see the ufo dead  ahead.It was so close it
  seemed to fill three quarters of the cockpit windshield.
      Spitting out what appeared to be fire  and sparks in bursts it shot past
  the portuguese airliner.Observed by two  other,astonished crewmen and an air
  traffic  controller  on  the  ground,the  extraordinary  encounter  occurred
  shortly after TAP flight  241 took off from Lisbon  airport at 2:10 AM local
  time on  September 19,bound  for Africa.TAP  is a  government-run airline.In
  their  seats in  the cockpit  were captain  Weigert,52,with 22,000  hours of
  flying time,co-pilot Pinto,34,flight  engineer,Gilberto Sarmento,48,and Jose
  Pinto,31,co-pilot  for a   second crew  that  would take  over the  plane in
  Kinshasa,Zaire.He was the first to spot the ufo.
       "We were climbing to 4,000  feet",he told the "Enquirer"."I was sitting
  behind   the capt. on the left hand  side of the flight deck and just before
  we reached    4,000 feet  I saw,through  the first  officer's window  on the
  right  hand   side  off   our   wing,coming  in   our  direction,giving  off
  flashes",Costa,59,continued:"I saw  this flying object expel
  "We were climbing and converging with  it.As we banked,it passed to the left
  and  slightly  below  us.Because  of  the  angles,and  the  location  of the
  passengers,it was impossible for  them to see.The front  of the aircraft was
  being used for cargo,and the passengers were in the rear".
       The ufo was traveling from west to east.Moments after flight 241
  encountered theobject,another portuguese 707,some 600 miles to east reported
  a strange sighting.
       Manuel Aleixo,31,co-pilot of TAP  flight 130,flying at 33,000 feet,told
  the  "Enquirer":"At  about 2:15 AM  we saw  a very bright  light moving very
  fast below  us.It was traveling from west to east and disappeared in about
  45 seconds.It didn't look like any aircraft or a meteor.We didn't know
  about capt. Weigert's  sighting,but we were  joking on the flight deck about
  having seen a ufo".

  Two pilots from different airlines observed two large ufo's as big as a navy
  ship,when they were  flying over Faro.Denis  Wood,british cmdt.,who has been
  flying for the last 20 years,said that the objects were seen by the crew and
  the radar station from lisbon.The  ufo's were reported to be sausage-shaped,
  bright and carried some  kind of mirror in  the center.At least,that was the
  description  made  by   a  witness  who   observed  the  phenomenon  through
  binoculars.The  british  pilot  got  a warning  from  the  radar  station in
  Lisbon,telling  him about  the  presence of  two  ufo's over  the portuguese
  territory.These objects werereported to be 10 Km away from the airplane.
      Antonio  Carvalheira,portuguese pilot,who  observed the  same phenomenon
  for eight minutes,said that such manoeuvres  executed by the ufo's could not
  be done by anyterrestrial aircraft.No one took pictures of the ufo's.

      The "Natal Daily News" from South Africa,published an article
  titled "UFOs as big as battleships,pilots claim".For fear of being
  ridiculed,pilots of three airliners kept  secret the sighting of three ufo's
  over  Portugal,later  described  by  one  of  them  "as  big  and  solid  as
  battleships".
      British Airways Trident jet pilot,captain Dennis Wood,who has been
  flying with  the airline for 20 years,said he and his crew first spotted the
  ufo's while flying from London to Faro,in the A
  The sighting,described by experts as the most important in the past
  decade,was  also made by the crew of a british Tristar below the Trident and
  the pilot of a portuguese airliner.All the stories tallied.
      Captain Wood,42,said he and the Tri-star crew made sighting reports when
  they   arrived  at London's Heathrow  airport but  kept it all  a secret for
  fear  of being  ridiculed.Captain Wood  has  come forward  in the  hope that
  Britain's ufo experts  will turn a serious eye to this particular sighting.
     "Suggestions that the three objects were balloons,stars or
  satellites,strange   clouds or reflections  are quite unacceptable to us",he
  said."As  I looked  to the  west we  saw  this very  bright headlamp  in the
  sky.All the  cabin staff saw  ittoo  and  I told the  passengers.Then it was
  joined by two cigar-shaped objects as big and solid as battleships".
      On the return trip captain Wood tilted his radar scanner."There,in
  exactly  the same spot  were these two cigar-shaped  things.We got to within
  seven miles ofthem when they disappeared from our screen".

  The official inquiry was conducted by the representative of the
  Portuguese government,Lt.  Henrique da  Costa Pessca,Commander  of the Santa
  Maria Airport facility.The information contained  in Lt. Pessca's report was
  made  available   to  Wing   Intelligence  Officer   Robert  D.  Gammell,1st
  Lieutenant,USAF, head  of the US  Intelligence Operations at  the Azores Air
  Transport Station  in   Lajes Field.Lt.  Gammell prepared  and submitted his
  report  to  Air  Force  Intelligence in  accordance  with  the  official UFO
  reporting format,AFR 200-2,the procedure used from 1953 through 1966,when it
  was revised for use in conjunction with the Condon Committee inquiry.
        The shape of the object was reported to be oblong,10 feet in length by
  5  feetin  height,and,of  a  light   metallic  blue  in  color.There  was  a
  plexiglass-type     section in the forward end,also blue,which contained the
  "pilot".There were fourpole-like appendages,two  at each end,which supported
  parallel aerials,and there was an orange light in the nose of the object.
        The civilian  guard,Mr. Monteiro,was  alerted to  the presence  of the
  object by a humming or whirring noise,similar  to the sound made by the wind
  passing  over   wire cables  or  telephone lines.The  object  approached and
  landed approximately  30feet from the  guard post,making  a slight nose-down
  approach to land;it  levelled off,hovered a  few feet above  the The witness
  was unable to  see any landing  gear.A blond-haired man,5  feet,10 inches in
  height,got out of a door located in the plexiglass section;he approached the
  witness,but "attempts  to converse  failed".The contact  lasted from  2 to 3
  minutes and was terminated by the  approach of an automobile.After the pilot
  reboarded and  "belted up",the  UFO ascended  almost vertically  and then
  accelerated rapidly into the night sky,disappearing in the darkness.
        The weather,according to the witness,was fair,with visibility
  unlimited.The  official weather conditions for Terceira Island (142 nautical
  miles to the  northwest of Santa  Maria Island) reported  the ceiling at 200
  feet,with a one/eighth  cloud cover at that  altitude.The wind direction was
  230 degrees at  14 knots,at 6,000  feet.There were no  balloon launchings in
  that area at the time.

  Two objects with a disc shape were observed over the city.They weregrey with
  darker color  on the edges.One  of them  executed several movements,stopping
  and changing directions at high speed.
      At that point several people,including teachers from the
  Secondary School "Escola Comercial e Industrial de Evora",observed the
  falling of a strange white substance,(angel hair).
       This  phenomenon  took place  over  a four  hour  period.Samples were
  taken and  examined.It was  then possible to   observe a  strange being with
  central round body.Ten  arms in perfect symmetry  were radiated from it.This
  observation  happened while making some tests with the substance.
                                                                Scientific
  Conclusions:

       During the First Iberic UFO Symposium in Oporto,October 7 & 8, 1978,and
  for the first time since 1959,the reports made by the teachers were released
  and discussed.At the time,and with a  total agreement of the participants on
  the symposium,the ordinary  " Angels Hair "  became named "Fibralvis",a word
  composed from the  Latin "Fibra" (Fiber)  plus "Alvis" (Alvine),then adapted
  to Portuguese as "Fibralvina".
  Material deductions:

      The substance looks like flax which is linked by white filaments
  arranged in a random pattern.
      The filaments are from a natural source and not artificial
  fibers.They form  somekind of  felt with  wave shaped  fibers,sometimes with
  nodosity.Physical action  is the  only way  to separate  them. Compared with
  cotton it is much thinner.
      The substance  is a vegetable  product and not  animal.Its combustion is
  fast and  leaves a very tiny residuum of white ashes.                    The
  organism  found  in  the  experiments  is  entirely  connected  to  the  UFO
  phenomenon.
      This subject was presented for debate,by Mr. Joaquim Fernandes, Director
  of CEAFI at the time,as a team effort by his group.

  Mr. Pavao is a farmer.He was aged 55 at the time of the encounter  and
  deserves credibility.
  Everything  started on  a sunny  morning,as usual,Mr.  Pavao left  his place
  taking his sheep to the fields.Then,at about 11:00 hours,he heard a noise.At
  the same   time his  dog panicked,which made  Mr. Pavao  feel that something
  wrong was  happening behind  him..Then,he turned  back as  fast as  he could
  and,to his  surprise,two 8 ft  tall humanoids were  standing there,close and
  staring at him   continuously.
      Extremely tall and strong they were dressed with a complete grey suit.
  Their faces,without protection,were  close to the  human's.Only the eyes and
  skin were  different.Their hands were hairy and quite big.
     Then the strange  beings got closer  to the witness  and seeming friendly
  they   touched his left shoulder and  several other parts of his body.At the
  same time,they spoke a  strange language with a  modulation like the human's
  voice.At  this point the witness was able  to see that they had teeth,due to
  the movement  of their lips.
  Seeming to understand the  fear of the witness,one  of the beings pointed to
  the sheep,and,Mr.  Pavao told him  the name of  the cattle.Meanwhile,the two
  beings kept talking and laughing.Then,Mr. Pavao gave an order to his dog,for
  it to get one of the sheep and for a second he lo
  for the  beings to  disappear.When he  looked back  to the  place where they
  were,all he could see was an intense  flash of light which blinded him for a
  few seconds.After that everything became normal again.
    It was like a dream.Extremelly nervous and excited he returned home
  where his wife and son were surprised by the way he looked.
    This event became the subject of his nightmares for several
  nights.Mr. Pavao  can identify several languages and,says that the one
  spoken by the beings wasn'tfrom Earth.
     Materialization? Unfortunately at the time of the investigation
  there were no traces on the place.

  The following data reports  the event that was known  as "The Miracle of the
  Sun" which was witnessed by a great amount of people.


  1-Weather conditions:
     -Pressure: 749.7 mm  at 13:00 hours
     -Temperature: 13.2 Celsius at 13:00 hours
     -Humidity: 87.04 %
     -Direction of winds: W-NW (12:00/14:00)
     -Falling rain: 9.5 mm (12:00/14:00)
     -Speed of winds: 7 km/h at 13:00 h ; 24 km/h at 14:00 hours
     -Visibility of Sun: 6 minutes from 13:00 to 14:00 hours
     -Total visibility of Sun this day: 3:45 hours
     -Angle of Sun: 42 degrees 44'
  2-Before the "Miracle":
     50 000 people  wanted to witness the  event,announced three months before
  by       the         entity        to        the       three       children.
  Journalists,teachers,workers,priests,farmers,children,sick
  people,etc.,etc.,all  them,observed the  "dark cloud"  coming closer  to the
  usual place.By this,some people started praying.
  By 13:47 hours rain had gone and the sun was visible for a while.
    Another small white smoke cloud appeared over the oak tree while the first
  one  was still visible in the sky.
    Meanwhile,Lucia kept talking with the entity and,as the dark cloud moved,a
  silver "globe" was uncovered.At  the end of the  dialogue the entity pointed
  her  finger to the place where the  sun was,as if she was pretending to make
  a sign   to the silver "globe",and left.

   3-Description of the phenomenon:
      When the entity left,the clouds opened and a bright silver disk
  appeared,spinning and shining as if it was the sun.At this point the
  "miracle"  was done.It stayed like that for  8 to 10 minutes and then became
  dark.Then,for  unknown reason,the  disk looked  as  if it  would crash,which
  caused  a sensation  of  fear among  the  crowd.It took  off  with irregular
  movement.

   4-Secondary effects:
      Sick people recovered from ilness.
      Rising temperature dried clothes and environment.
      Sensation of fear,commotion and anguish.
      Environment colored by several colors.
  5-Percentage of witnesses:
     22% Farmers
     22% Housewives
     06% Lawyers
     06% Journalists
     01% Engineers


      A. Ribera's investigation concluded that the crowd that stood in a field
  at Fatima,a small village  in the district of  Leiria,some 62 miles north of
  Lisbon,on  October 13,1917,was  waiting  there for  a  miracle,because three
  children had been assured  such an event would take  place after a number of
  meetings with an "Entity" that came from the sky in a globe of light.
    The  witnesses were  shepherds:  Lucia,aged 10,and  her  cousins Francisco
  Marto  and Jacinta Marto,aged 9 and 7.
    Among  the crowd  was  Professor Almeida  Garrett,of  Coimbra University,a
  scientist,who described the phenomenon in the following terms:
       "It   was  raining   hard,and   the  rain   trickled   down  everyone's
  clothes.Suddenly,the  sun  shone  through  the  dense  cloud  which  covered
  it.Everybody looked in its direction.It  was not dazzling.I don't think that
  it  could  be  compared to  a  dull  silver disc,as  someone  said  later in
  Fatima."No.It rather  possessed a clear,changing  brightness,which one could
  compare to a pearl.It looked like a polished wheel.This is not petry.My eyes
  have seen it.This  clear shaped disc suddenly  began turning.It rotated with
  increasing  speed".

  There were a few  thousand people that could see  the "sphere of light" used
  by the entity to go to the place ofthe meeting.According to the verywords of
  the Reverand General Vicar of Leiria,who was one of the witnesses,the entity
  came  in an  "aeroplane of  light",an  " immense  globe,flying westwards,at
  moderate speed.It radiated a very bright light. "
        Some other witnesses saw  a white being coming  out of the globe,which
  several    minutes later took off,disappearing in the direction of the sun.
