Cajneiro, Maranhao, Brz being encounter — November 11, 1983

An unnamed farm worker reportedly encountered a luminous figure while cycling near Cajneiro, Maranhão, Brazil, around 3:30 a.m. on approximately November 11, 1983. The Hatch catalogue cites Jacques Vallée’s Confrontations; INTCAT gives a fuller derivative account and treats the date as approximate. No securely identified witness, contemporary report or precise site was recovered. The cyclist described a short, heavy man emitting a shimmering green light. His bicycle reportedly stopped and resisted his efforts to move forward. As the figure approached, it appeared to become tall and thin before adopting an unusual, crossed-limb posture and vanishing. The available wording is awkward about which arm occupied each position, so it cannot support a precise anatomical reconstruction. No craft, landing or aerial departure is described. The story concerns a reported transformation and disappearance rather than verified biological changes. Repetition in catalogues supplies a citation trail, not an independent second witness. The plate places the cyclist beside the later tall figure, with an explicitly labelled inset indicating the earlier stockier appearance. Clothing, facial detail and surroundings are illustrative. The two depictions represent successive descriptions of one figure, rather than two beings present together.
