The cases
- 1986Brazil's "Night of the UFOs"On the night of 19 May 1986, Brazilian air traffic radar in the south-east and centre of the country picked up unidentified echoes.
- 2001Anápolis: a Mirage scrambled on a radar plotOn 23 March 2001 the radar at Brazil's main fighter base lost a probable unidentified aircraft, then approach radar held a plot 25 NM south.
What if?
If the objects return to the same airspace, the base's own records would show more than two scrambles.
What would settle it
Anápolis alert logs, and the Brazilian Air Force files for both dates.
