The incident has two principal sources, offering information that is not exactly in contradiction but not the same information either.
The first was communicated by the investigator, Dr. Walter Buhler of the S.B.D.E.V ufology group. Buhler did not provide his investigation report but a newspaper article signed Vakdir Pacheco in the Sao Paulo newspaper Ultima Hora for March 2, 1979, saying it was entirely based on his preliminary investigation.
He said he interviewed the witness, but his investigation was not complete and no final report was ready yet. The newspaper article said:
"The story about the UFO which landed on December 6, 1978, inside the security zone of the Marimbonda Hydroelectric Plant near the town of Fronteira, (1) on the border between the slates of Minas Gerais and Sao Paulo, has already, to all intents and purposes, been forgotten by everybody except, that is, for Dr. Walter Karl Buhler, a medical doctor and Director of the Brazilian Society for the Study of Flying Saucers.
"The event did receive some mention, at the time of its occurrence, in newspapers in Rio and Sao Paulo, but after the passage of a few days nobody any longer paid any heed to it and it was forgotten. However, for Dr. Buhler, who for thirty-five years past has been investigating these UFO apparitions and the contacts of humans with extraterrestrial beings, there was a whole series of remarkable points of agreement between the story as told by the watchman, Jesus Antunes Moreira, and many of the other cases on rue in his voluminous archives.
"Dr. Buhler accordingly set out for Fronteira, with the intention of interviewing Moreira. But at first he ran into a whole series of obstacles, deriving principally from the friends and acquaintances of Moreira, who simply refused to discuss the affair or to furnish any information regarding the whereabouts of the witness.
"The only information that Dr. Buhler was able to secure was that Moreira - described as a steady, hard-working and conscientious employee - had handed in his notice at the Electricity Generating Plant and had moved to Barretos. But the physician, Dr. Sergio Bandeira, who had attended to Moreira at the Plant's first-aid post, recalled that after his meeting with the crew of a UFO, the guard was suffering from powerful attacks of nausea, and was in a pretty dazed condition. For more than an hour afterwards he was unable to stand any sort of light, and his recovery was very slow and gradual.”
"Encouraged by the favourable accounts he had been given about the character and nature of Moreira, a man described as moderate in his habits and whose word could be relied upon, Dr. Buhler carried on with his search, and he finally managed to trace the former watchman to his new residence at No. 0855. Thirty-fifth Avenue, in Barretos.
"Moreira was now working as a driver for a department store in Barretos, and completely settled into his new job. However, he showed no objection to discussing the contact which he had had with the beings from a flying saucer at the Marimbonda Hydroelectric Plant on the night of December 6, 1978.
The article then cites the watchman:
"Yes, it was true. I really did see a flying saucer and I talked with its crew", he said.
"It was a bit after 8.30 p.m., maybe around 8.45p.m., and I was up in the guard-house, right on the top of the dam, because it was raining at the time, and I was anxious to keep dry. Suddenly I noticed that something was lighting up the surface of the water in the dam. My curiosity aroused, I stepped out of the guard-house and went to see what it could be, and found myself looking at an object which was slightly above the level of the horizon, about 200 metres from me, and crossing the Rio Grande. (2)
"It was coming in my direction, and when it got closer, I could make out that it was a space-craft about five metres wide and three metres high, white in colour, and emitting a certain amount of luminosity. It looked as though it was about to land on top of the dam, maybe right by the Powerhouse.
"To begin with I thought for it was quite certainly no aeroplane. I thought it must be some new sort of helicopter, because I know that the directors of the Plant frequently do use helicopters when making their inspections of the Dam. But then I saw that it obviously wasn't a helicopter either, as it wasn't making the slightest noise in flight.
"Getting more and more curious, I started walking along on the top of the concreted part of the dam, but the craft went past where I was and then moved to the earthen part of the dam, it was about 1.5 metres from the foot of it.
"I was now able to see that its colour was not white, but a light grey. It had a door about two metres high, with a little window in the upper part of it, and it had a sort of platform running right round it.
"By now it was only about seven metres from me. Then the little window opened, and in it there appeared a face in many respects very like a human face. Then the main door opened, and from it came three beings dressed in blue overalls with a metallic sheen. They were all very tall two metres maybe and with quite long, black, smooth hair.
"In an absolutely natural sort of fashion, they spoke to me, in some unknown language. I replied, in my confusion, that I would go and get somebody who could speak their language. You see, I was still thinking that maybe, who knows? they might be some foreign engineers. When I said I would go to one of the telephones that are strung out along the 300-metre-wide top of the dam, one of them gestured to me to step back.
"At this stage, I began to get scared, and I fell for my revolver, which I was wearing over my rain-cape, with the idea of firing a warning shot should it be necessary. And indeed I did try to shoot, but the revolver jammed, and would not fire. (3)
"At that point, one of them went inside the machine and came out with a black box, about the sise of a shoe-box, and handed it to one of the others, who was the one that had the longest hair. I noticed that all of them were wearing rose-coloured gloves, which were luminous, like their blue overalls.
"From then on, I was able to understand perfectly (4) what they were saying to me, in Portuguese. They asked me if I was scared, and told me to keep calm, because they daid they had no intention of doing me any harm. When I asked them what they wanted, and where they came from, they said they were on a Research and Study mission, and that, if I remained calm, I would soon know all about it.
"My meeting with them was broken off when one of them, using a rope with a grab at the end of it, started extracting some stones from the place, (5) whereupon I objected. That was enough for them to put away the box and, without the slightest show of dissatisfaction or displeasure, re-enter their craft.
The article says that after the watchman had been seen by Dr. Sergio Bandeira at the Hydroelectric Plant, the Chief Engineer, Silvio Pirolli, sent him off to the town of Sao Jose do Rio Preto, where he was examined by a medical team. He passed all the tests successfully including electroencephalograms and no anomalies were found in him.
The second interesting source, signed "CIPEX", a Brazilian ufology group, was found on the web, and it is not specified who wrote it and when. In addition to the general data, it said:
"At about 08:40 p.m. something caught the guard's attention. He looked towards the north and observed a luminous object 200 meters of him, and 30 degrees above the horizon."
"The luminous apparatus approached the guard at the same time as it decreased its luminosity. When the object was at 50 meters Jesus managed to better define its form: a round cone roughly 3 meters in diameter. The UFO then changed direction to move in parallel with the top of the dam on a length of 300 or 400 meters at the right side of the guardhouse, which lasted nearly 2 to 3 minutes."
"There was no perceptible noise at all, nevertheless Jesus thought that it was a helicopter of the Furnas company with engineers or directors who were to check something at the dam. The object nevertheless approached so close to the guard that it stopped at about 7 meters of him."
"At the higher part of the cone there was a kind of door. At the top of this door there was a port-hole which opened. Jesus saw a human silhouette looking directly towards the witness. The port-hole was closed and the ship approached the guard even more. Soon the largest door opened and three people left and placed themselves on the platform which surrounded the cone."
"Of the three beings, one was a woman because she presented breasts and had long hair. The two others seemed to be twins. All had black hair, a skin of smoked ham color, thin eyebrows. They carried tight blouses, of a metallic blue color. They had gloves of pink color."
"The beings communicated between them in a strange language and they moved towards Jesus. The latter decided to call somebody who would be able to communicate correctly with the unknowns and he just spoke normally to tell them that he was going to make a phone call to ask for somebody educated so that he would speak with them. one of the beings gestured for asking that he would not phone and returned where they were. He came back there, but he felt frightened. Because of that he decided to shoot at the ground as a warning. When he pressed the trigger nothing happened, as if the weapon had not been loaded."
"A member of the crew carried a rectangular object of the dimension of a shoe box. He lifted the box at the height of the left shoulder. Immediately one of the members of the crew spoke again and was understood perfectly in Portuguese by Jesus. In the short dialogue which followed they told Jesus that he should not be afraid because they were only doing research and that in the future Jesus could take part in this research if he wanted to. Little time later the crew members sent back to the object which then took off."
"Shortly Jesus felt ill at ease, with nauseas and felt his eyes were burning. Immediately he went to his bosses to inform them of the presence. Later he was looked after by Doctor Sérgio Tadeu F. Bandeira who confirmed that the witness had a visual over-sensitiveness."
This source makes no mention of the stones one of the occupants allegedly wanted to grab; but it provides a photograph of the witness, and sketches of the encounter - available further in this file.

CONVERSATION WITH ENTITIES AT MARIMBONDADr. Walter Buhler Translation from the Portuguese by Gordon Creighton I GIVE below a preliminary account of another interesting case in which a UFO appears to have taken a keen interest in a Brazilian hydroelectric plant. To my knowledge it is the fourth, but of course we have no way of knowing how many more similar and unreported cases there may have been. I have interviewed the witness, but my enquiries into the affair are not complete and no final account has yet been prepared for publication in our Society's Bulletin. In the meantime I am sending the text of a report on the case which was printed in the Sao Paulo newspaper Ultima Hora of March 2, 1979, under the signature of Vakdir Pacheco, which was based entirely on my investigation. "The story about the UFO which landed on December 6, 1978, inside the security zone of the Marimbonda Hydroelectric Plant near the town of Fronteira, (1) on the border between the slates of Minas Gerais and Sao Paulo, has already, to all intents and purposes, been forgotten by everybody except, that is, for Dr. Walter Karl Buhler, a medical doctor and Director of the Brazilian Society for the Study of Flying Saucers.

Fronteira lies at Lat. 20° 00 S, Long. 49° 15 W, on the Rio Grande, about 650 kilometres to the N.W. of Rio de Janeiro. There is probably no part of Brazil where more names on the map are connected with some UFO case or other. Not far away, on the other side of the Rio Grande, lies Sao Francisco de Sales, scene of the famous "AVB" [Antonio Villas-Boas] encounter with a lady not of our species. Lins, Bebedouro, Botucatu, Bauru, Tres Lagoas Catanduva, are all in the same area - all places where fantastic cases have occurred - cases which have been reported in great detail in FSR in the course of recent years. 2. There is a great cataract on the Rio Grande, called the Cachocira do Marimbonda, and the hydroelectric plant is in the vicinity. 3. In the literature of Ufology there are a number of cases in which, allegedly, a witness has tried to fire at a UFO or a UFO entity, and his weapon has jammed. See, for example, case No. 20 in "The Humanoids in Latin America" (Section IV of The Humanoids, Futura Publications, London, paperback edition. 4. Nor is this the first suggestion, in the UFO literature, of a "black box" or of some sort of device of that kind. For example, in the first of his account of meetings with tall beings from a UFO which he said landed in a extinct minor crater of Mount Etna in Sicily on the night of April 30, 1962 the Italian Eugenio Siragusa [contactee, invented his stories] claimed that they addressed him in Italian, but that it was not by means of natural voice organs (he got the impression that they had none and were purely telepathic one with another, but by means of an artificial "metallic-sounding" voice, like a tape-recorder in its effect. 5. The text of the Brazilian press item is unfortunately very vague at this point. "Um deles... comçou a retirar algunas pedras do lugar... ("One of them... began to remove some stones from the place.") It is not at all clear what place is meant, but, as the watchman and the entities were up on the concrete walk along the top of the dam, I have assumed that it means that one of the ufonauts was using some sort of device, on the end of a rope, to grab up loose stones from down below, at the foot of the earthen part of the dam face. This sounds harmless enough, but then why would the watchman have objected? So perhaps what the text means is that an entity was poking around and trying to extract stones from the actual face of the dam wall. If so, then it hardly sounds like a very friendly sort of act towards the people of Brazil, and it is not surprising that the watchman should have remonstrated with them! |

The ufologist indicates that in December 1978, in Fronteira, Brazil: "...one of them went inside the machine and came out with a black box... from then on I was able to understand perfectly what they were saying to me."
Ahmad Jamaludin indicates the case as an example of entities using instruments to help them to converse with the percipient, probably not possessing telepathic powers, having the knowledge of the languages of the Earth but unable to speak them.
He indicates that the source for the case is Buhler, W: "Conversation with Entities at Marimbonda," in FSR 25, 3. pp. 18-19.

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Marimbonda near Fronteira, Brazil, on December 6, 1978, at 2030, a security guard at the local hydroelectric plant was at his guardhouse on top of the dam when he noticed some lights shining down on the water surface, he went out to investigate and noticed a luminous circular object approaching him from across the river. The object approached the witness and began hovering close to the ground near the power station. The witness could see a door and a small window on the object. The small window opened and a very human face looked out the witness. The craft's door opened and three very tall men came out. These men wore shiny metallic blue overalls and all had very long smooth black hair. The beings approached the witness and spoke to him in an unknown language. The witness panicked and attempted to fire a warning shot into the air with his revolver but it jammed. One of the men then went inside the object and came back out holding a black box and handed it to one of the others. After that the witness was able to understand the beings and was told they were here on a "research and study mission." At one point one of the men started collecting stones from the ground and the witness protested. The men then put away the box and calmly walked back into their craft, which left silently and at high speed.

CIPEX Team ( contato@fenomenum.com.br ) One of the most interesting cases of close contact which occurred in Brazil implied a guard of the Hydro-electric Plant of Marimbonda, in Sao José do Rio Preto (SP), on December 6, 1972 [sic, 1978]. General data Place Marimbonda plant, Sao Jose do Rio Preto, Sao Paulo Date and Time Start of the night of December 6, 1978 Nr. of witnesses 1 Type Contact with a UFO crew members
Introduction The Hydroelectric Dam of Marimbonda is within 50 kilometers of Barretos and 50 kilometers of Sao José do Rio Preto, at the northern border of the State of Sao Paulo. It is in this place that a close contact occurred between Jesus Antunes Moreira and the members of the crew of a flying disc. The protagonist had dined in the Furnas camp at 5 p.m. on December 6, 1978. At 6 p.m. he returned and took his weapon, a Taurus revolver, caliber 38, and replaced guard Cristiano Marin d'Araújo for the survey of the dam. The latter said that it was raining and Jesus covered himself with a plastic sheet and by staying in the guardhouse on the concrete top of the dam. This spot allowed a sufficient vision of the sector of the dams on the two sides of the dam. Observations At about 08:40 p.m. something caught the guard's attention. He looked towards the north and observed a luminous object 200 meters of him, and 30 degrees above the horizon. The luminous apparatus approached the guard at the same time as it decreased its luminosity. When the object was at 50 meters Jesus managed to better define its form: a round cone roughly 3 meters in diameter. The UFO then changed direction to move in parallel with the top of the dam on a length of 300 or 400 meters at the right side of the guardhouse, which lasted nearly 2 to 3 minutes. There was no perceptible noise at all, nevertheless Jesus thought that it was a helicopter of the Furnas company with engineers or directors who were to check something at the dam. The object nevertheless approached so close to the guard that it stopped at about 7 meters of him. At the higher part of the cone there was a kind of door. At the top of this door there was a port-hole which opened. Jesus saw a human silhouette looking directly towards the witness. The port-hole was closed and the ship approached the guard even more. Soon the largest door opened and three people left and placed themselves on the platform which surrounded the cone. Of the three beings, one was a woman because she presented breasts and had long hair. The two others seemed to be twins. All had black hair, a skin of smoked ham color, thin eyebrows. They carried tight blouses, of a metallic blue color. They had gloves of pink color. The beings communicated between them in a strange language and they moved towards Jesus. The latter decided to call somebody who would be able to communicate correctly with the unknowns and he just spoke normally to tell them that he was going to make a phone call to ask for somebody educated so that he would speak with them.

Marimbonda is not "Marimbondo" - a name given in error by some of the sources - the town in the north of the State of Paraná, Brazil, but the correct name of the hydraulic plant in the State of Sao Paulo.
While some have no problems with UFO occupants looking just like us, I certainly have.
In short: I do find it likely that any life form coming here from some other planet on board aircraft of their own would have arms, legs, a head with eyes, a mouth and so on. A small "extraterrestrial ladybird" for example would be too small to handle fire, thus could not have mastered metallurgy, hence could not have developed something like an aircraft. Most alien life-forms could indeed look like "plants" or "bacteria", but those who would develop a space travel technology would maybe have more or less humanoid features. But certainy, they would not look almost exactly like us. So I would reject this case as an invention by the alleged witness. And there is no hard evidence it wasn't, we only have a single witness here.
Often, stories with saucer occupants looking "like us" come from the "contactees" crowd, most of them having been exposed as pure liars. I do admit that in this case, the usual "signs" of this sort of "witness" are missing. The dam guardian does not seem to serve us the usual "new age" and "spiritual" BS most of the contactees serve, he does not seem to have started a UFO cult or written books about his space travels to Venus with benevolent "space brothers", the usual "warning to humanity" about some natural or nuclear disaster is also missing.
But on the other hand, maybe this is because the investigation information we have is only "preliminary."
In the end I am left with more questions than answers here. I feel that some confusion cannot be the explanation, but it could probably be an invented story rather than evidence that aliens looking so much like us would visit us.
