Case description

A March 1969 report from Alexânia, Goiás, concerns ranch owner Wilson Plácido Gusmão and an alleged landing on his property. The short FSR-derived entry says that occupants were seen and photographs taken. It is traced to SBEDV Bulletin 69/70 and Jornal do Brasil of March 8, without enough detail to reconstruct a secure crew count or appearance. The property also appears in a broader archive of reported events from 1967–1969. In one separate March 1 episode, Gusmão said he had been away while an employee, Dona Geralda, and her children saw a large object. Three figures allegedly watched from an open door without coming down. A March 26 statement describes another light and a perceived mental exchange. These are distinct claims, not additional witnesses to every part of the rancher’s landing summary. The archival transcript is valuable for tracing what was reported, but its presence in a document collection does not authenticate the objects or photographs. A later catalogue labels the March landing a probable hoax, without providing a demonstrated admission in the short entry. The plate therefore remains a restrained illustration of the rancher-and-crew claim, rather than borrowing precise beings or supernatural effects from other dates.
