On This Day in Weird, June 27...
1970: At least eight witnesses, including João Aguiar of the
Brazilian Federal Police, claim a UFO an extended UFO sighting from the Rio de
Janeiro suburb of Leblon, beginning at 11:40 a.m. They describe a "great metallic
disc" descending to rest on the surface of the South Atlantic Ocean, 500
yards offshore from the busy coastal highway Avenida Niemeyer, whereupon two
small humanoids emerge and walk around the craft's rim, as if inspecting it.
The "crewmen" wear helmets and "grayish aluminum-colored
garments" resembling the garb of modern astronauts. After approximately
half an hour, the UFO takes off, skimming the surface for 300 yards and raising
the kind of wake normally seen from motorboats, before it soars skyward.
