Show notes

In many reported encounters with UFOs, those involved emerge from the experience apparently unharmed, suffering no lasting physical effects from what they claim to have witnessed. A smaller number of cases, however, tell a very different story. Some witnesses have reported developing sudden illnesses or unexplained injuries shortly after coming into close proximity with unidentified objects. Such symptoms would feature prominently in a bewildering series of incidents reported across northern Brazil towards the end of 1977. Events involving frightened communities, mysterious lights and numerous alleged injuries, which eventually attracted the attention of the Brazilian military. An investigation that would become known as Operation Prato.
