DECEMBER 31, 1978, MIRRASOL, SAO PAULO, BRAZIL, A MAN:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

When Dr. Walter K. Buhler, Guilheme Pereira and Prof. Ney Matiel Pires investigated the numerous reports of UFOs and UFO occupants in the area of Mirassol, Brazil, they recorded a case there on December 31, 1978, at 11:00 p.m.

A man was walking back home alone when as he was crossing a street he heard a noise and noticed a light approaching from behind.

He stepped aside thinking that it was a car but then realized that it was a huge yellowish light that was attached to the bottom of a large object. He was suddenly struck by a beam of light and apparently lost consciousness.

Later he found himself inside the object in a corridor with some type of balcony. He then noticed three short humanoids that spoke among themselves in a strange language. The beings wore overalls, helmets, and face covers light green in color. The eyes resembled two simple holes lacking eyelids or eyebrows.

The witness then apparently blacked out again and arrived home at 03:30 a.m. with no further recollection of what happened.
