Jaboticatubas, Brazil being encounter — August 9, 1968

The Hatch catalogue describes three observers near Jaboticatubas, Minas Gerais, Brazil, watching a low object that illuminated the surrounding area. Three small humanlike figures were reportedly visible inside. The imported entry assigns August 9, 1968, at about 8:10 p.m., but the RR0 edition of the same database expressly identifies 1968 as an error and gives 1976 instead. The digest also makes a serious claim that a man was struck by an emission and later died. Its bibliography points to Bob Pratt's UFO Danger Zone. The brief entry does not identify the deceased person, supply a medical record, establish the interval between observation and death, or show that the light caused the outcome. Those claims should not be converted into a confirmed medical conclusion. The year conflict is retained openly pending comparison with the underlying case account. The plate therefore gives no definitive year and illustrates only observers watching a low object, without depicting injury or death. Its figures and craft details are reconstructed; no surviving photograph is represented.
