� PUBLISHED STATEMENTS ON UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS �
� �
�The Brazilian Air Force in an official report has made the �
�startling statement that flying saucers are real! �
� �
�The report reads in part as follows: �
� �
�".....On December 2, 1954, came the last and most important �
�development in this matter. A conference was performed at �
�the Army Technical School, patronized by A.D.E.S.G. �
�(Superior Army School Graduates Association), a very �
�responsible entity. The selected audience included �
�important military personnel and civilian authorities. The �
�subject to be discussed was entitled 'Flying Saucers.' �
�Colonel Adil de Oliveira was in charge. He made a careful �
�evaluation of all information and evidence collected �
�throughout the world since 1947. he analysed Project Blue �
�Book and studied seven outstanding cases from the project's �
�files. He discussed the best Brazilian sightings and �
�concluded making the following statements: �
� �
�" '1. Evidence shows that the saucers are real. No �
�government could afford to ignore the reports about u.f.o.s.�
�and all investigations should be made to determine the �
�identity of any u.f.o. sighted over the country. The �
�problem could be of military interest. �
� �
�"'2. The saucers appear to be some kind of revolutionary �
�aircraft. They are not conventional phenomena or illusions.�
�There are too many responsible people involved to say that �
�the whole thing was a hallucination. �
� �
�" '3. We don't know where they come from, and we don't know�
�the purpose of their survey. I hope some day we can solve �
�the riddle and know the answers.' �
� �
�"Finally, closing the conference, Brigadier Guedes Muniz �
�said a few words: 'We military technicians and aeronautic �
�engineers have not tried in the past to discuss the �
�technological and scientific probability of these space �
�vagabonds. And we are not trying to discuss it now, because�
�we remember an old story, very good to be recalled here: �
� �
�"Years ago, the best aeronautic engineers in the world �
�assembled together to study the horn-beetle flight. They �
�analysed the horn-beetle, it's aerodynamic shape entirely �
�wrong, it's flight surface tremendously deficient, it's �
�heaviness and it's incredible power. After a great deal of �
�reasoning and scientific experimentation they had made �
�certain that the horn-beetle could not fly. But the horn- �
�beetle, knowing nothing of this, is still flying!" '...." �
