SEPT 27th, 2008. Time: 18h37pm. The pilot of the flight TAM8002 from Salvador, State of Bahia, bound for Rio de Janeiro, RJ, reported the sighting of an unidentified flying object when he was over the region of the city of Una, State of Bahia. According to the witness, under good visibility conditions, he saw the UFO move at a speed “much higher than the aircraft” of the TAM8002 flight and at an altitude of 10,000ft above this aircraft. In the observer’s perspective, towards the Southeast of Brazil, an unknown object flew from West to East, therefore in the West / East trajectory. The COMDABRA’s [Brazilian Aerospace Defense Command] report also states that: “AFTER THE SIGHTING, [the Ufo] CONTINUED THE DISPLACEMENT AND DISAPPEARED IN THE HORIZON”.
