CI-001 and 002. Item “8 – synthesis: Very intense light source, yellow light, whose vision made the eyes water. The UFO had a dome with a row of blue lights around it; at the bottom there was another dark dome and in the middle a circular platform.” [More information from ARX.0.0.8 – This was the second observation made by the witness. The next day he did not connect this fact to the previous one. As he made the rounds, he noticed a small light in the direction of the field. He went there (the field is at the top of the hill) and saw the UFO. The beam of light in the middle of the UFO did not illuminate around, where there were trees.”]“.
CI-003. Item “8 – synthesis: Upside-down bowl-shaped object. Aluminum color.”
CI-004. Item “8 – synthesis: quite large object; hat shape; the bottom had a circular platform; there was a door through which 3 human-like crew members entered; normal clothes; The object would have been physically immobilized by the three, before taking the vehicle; on the outside the object looked like a metallic light blue; through the door you could see a yellow light inside” [More information from ARX.0.0.18 – One of the crew members had already been seen once, in the same outfit – yellow pants and T-shirt. There was oral contact, and the witness asked this person move away from the site – wire fence – 100 meters away from the power plant. Response from the person: “I am waiting for companions who went hunting …; two days later, the same individual, now wearing a yellow blouse and clear pants, was observed in the same position (ravine); the witness went to the Central, observed another individual in dark clothing, by a window, and thought he was on his back, but in fact he was facing him, with his face partially covered – just his eyes out. With a piece of conduit already in his hand, he tried two strikes, without hitting the individual, who, aided by another, who came from inside the central – passing through the window – helped the first to dominate the witness. Now dominated, he was suspended and released, several times, to fall to the ground, abandoned by the two; he received a slap on the back from the individual in the yellow shirt, followed by the following words: “go away, you tramp, that we will return when this work is over. The witness ran in the opposite direction to the 3 crew members; when he saw that the 3 crew members completed the closing of the UFO door (only at this moment did he observe the presence of the UFO), followed by a noise similar to the frying noise, initiating the movement of the UFO.”]“
CI-005. Item “8 – synthesis: Globe-shaped object; it had many apparently metallic streaks; it was surrounded in its central part, by a circular platform; it did a “snoring” sound coordinated with lateral movements and moved not quickly, in a straight path until it disappeared.” [More information from ARX.0.0.16 -The witness got up. He went to take care of the pet bird. His wife was preparing breakfast when she went out to the laundry room in an open area and heard a snore. She looked at the sky, but saw nothing. He looked for a better position and saw the UFO, noting that it was different from an airplane. She called her husband and got in. Her husband saw the UFO and shivered. Still, he continued to watch it calmly. The UFO was distant, moving fast; it had a continuous west-east movement, oscillating laterally, and followed by a snore when the inclination increased. The UFO was observed until it disappeared.”]“
CI-006. Item “8 – synthesis: Small hat-shaped object; with rounded dome and a circular platform at the bottom. The witness said she had contact with a female crew member who, when presenting her an empty bottle, indicating, perhaps, that she wanted water; she spoke a very strange language; the witness only noticed the object when the crew member went towards it. The witness would have heard a noise similar to tires braking on gravel; the object lit up all over, cleared the courtyard and went upwards amazingly.” [More information from ARX.0.0.19 –The witness was asleep when she heard a car brake on the gravel. She looked out the window and saw a woman at the Sanatorium door. She tried communication and got no response. The witness then went to the woman and she presented her with an empty bottle. She correctly guessed that the woman wanted water and went with her to the water cooler, always trying to talk to the woman who answered nothing. After the bottle filled with water, the woman held out a small mug that was filled and the water was drunk. Both returned to the exit door. The woman said goodbye to the witness saying, “Umbaura” three times. After that, the woman went to the UFO (and here Mrs. Maria was astonished) and it took off with great light. Mrs. Maria was very scared. After a few hours, Army officers and the Director of the Sanatorium observed footprints at the entrance to the Sanatorium.”]“.

Item “8 – Object about 30 meters in diameter; upper white dome and lower red dome; a circular moving platform in the middle; it was landed on the ground, supported by a telescope tripod; small ladder coming out of the lower dome; the witness would have received a paralyzing light; he saw the upper dome (which was open) close, the tripod and the ladder retract (after hearing noise from a nearby sawmill). UFO noise: intermittent metallic sound; he doesn’t know where the “flash” that paralyzed him would have come from.” [More information from ARX.0.0.21 -After lunch, the witness was playing with two friends when he saw the UFO. Friends ran, and the reporting witness received a beam of light from the upper dome and was paralyzed without losing consciousness. The dome opened halfway. The device was resting on a tripod and had a ladder beside it. Then the stairs retracted – with a blind. The tripods retracted without changing the position of the device. The UFO then went up to 3 or 4 meters more or less. Beside a tree he bent a little, dodging it. At that point the platform started to turn counterclockwise. He climbed higher and then started to move. The boy then ran. He had forgotten that he had already been filthy and had even forgotten the names of his colleagues, etc.”]“

The witness observed 3 other crewmen squatting on the platform. The UFO was about 25 meters from the ground. One member of the crew was observing the tractor; the other harvesting earth with a small white bowl – like plaster – in the shape of a shell; the third was watching the two companions.
