Case description

On October 30, 1978 at Carmo Da Cachoeira, Minas Gerais, Brazil, some men were traveling by Jeep on their way to a local farm when suddenly an unknown force halted the vehicle in its tracks, then pulled it backwards into the mud on the side of the road. The UFO flew over them at very low altitude and then descended to hover a few meters away from the witnesses. The light from the object was so bright that it temporarily blinded the three young people. The older man nearly fainted from fright. After awhile they began to hear what seemed to be human voices coming from the object, but the voices spoke in an unknown language. The terrified witnesses began screaming for help because they began to feel a bizarre effect: all three felt as if they were "floating.".
