Near Bananeiras, Brz abduction report — November 17, 1971

Paulo Caetano Silveira and his friend Elvio B. were returning from a business trip to Natividade de Carangola on November 17, 1971, when their car stopped near Bananeiras. Paulo described a saucer nearby, a red beam opening the car door and a pink-clad occupant escorting him aboard. In his account, he lay on a small table while an apparatus held his arms. He felt a cut near an elbow, then washing and heat. He was shown a plan resembling Itaperuna and an image resembling an explosion. Afterward he felt heavy and recalled his friend helping him. Elvio's account was different: the following vehicle was a bus, and he found Paulo semi-conscious behind their stopped car without describing a boarding himself. They went by bus to Itaperuna, where Paulo was examined and their car was later retrieved. Investigator Walter K. Bühler published the two accounts separately and photographed the arm marks. The November episode is a sequel to Paulo's September encounter; it does not establish that both men remembered being taken aboard.
