Open this case in the interactive AtlasCase description
After departing SBEG for SBRP at 22:57 Z, a Learjet 45 was at flight level 410 near the Alta Floresta navigation reference when its pilot reported four lights. The occurrence form is dated 7 August 2025 and gives an observation interval of 00:27–00:45 Z. Three lights below appeared arranged as a triangle, while a fourth above moved in a circle. The lower lights were described as moving in a zigzag. The lights increased in apparent size or brightness and alternated between white and red; no definite object shape was discerned. A north-to-south trajectory and a coordinate near 11°52′28.5″S, 055°10′06″W were entered. Speed, distance and object altitude were left blank. The sky was clear. No equipment-assisted observation, physical recording, sound, trail or parallel effect was reported. CINDACTA IV–COPM logged the communication at 00:30 Z. The four-page document identifies a commercial pilot but redacts the name and supplies no independent corroboration.
Source review: Four pages visually reviewed. UTC date retained; no silent conversion to the previous local evening. Page 1 radial reads 174 and page 4 reads 175, both at 130 NM from ATF: disagreement preserved. The printed page numbering 9–12/14 belongs to the form template and does not establish missing case pages. No conclusion is present.
