Floating circle that stopped and then flew away slowly.


I have a window in my living room, facing my couch. I spotted a floating circle in the distance and initially looked away, thinking it was a plane or something similar. I decided to pay attention and look again, and it was still there, stationary for some reason, and then it moved slowly until it disappeared from sight. It was colorful and didn’t light up like a balloon, planes, or anything like that, much less a satellite. I had never seen anything like it before.

Original untranslated report:

Circulo flutuante que parava e depois voava lentamente.

Eu tenho uma janela na minha sala, fica de frente para o meu sofá. Eu avistei um Círculo flutuante bem distante e logo desviei o olhar, pensando ser um avião ou algo do tipo. Decidi dar atenção e olhar novamente e ainda estava lá, por algum motivo parado e depois se moveu lentamente até sumir de vista. Era colorido e não acendia luzes como um balão, aviões ou algo do tipo, muito menos um satélite. Eu nunca tinha visto algo igual.

3 perfectly aligned white lights passing very quickly, they didn’t make any sound.


I was heading home, and when I looked at the sky, I saw 3 white lights passing by very quickly. They were aligned, like Orion's Belt (the 3 Marys), but much farther apart and faster. They didn’t make any kind of sound, they just passed by very quickly.

Original untranslated report:

3 luzes brancas alinhadas certinhas passando muito rápido, elas n emitiam som

Eu estava voltado para minha casa, e quando eu olho pro céu eu vejo 3 luzes brancas passando muito rápido, elas estavam alinhadas, como se fossem as 3 Marias, só que bem mais distantes e mais rápidas, elas n emitiam nenhum tipo de som, apenas passaram muito rápido.

My friend and I were sunbathing on the beach. I was lying down, looking at the blue sky, there were no clouds. Suddenly something that looked like a very bright star appeared in the sky, it became translucent and then shone again, and then it split into two other lights and positioned themselves in a triangle. These points of light disappeared and reappeared. They moved a little forming different triangular shapes. The way they moved made me believe that it was not human technology, it floated and move like it was in the water, softly, there were no noise. I didn't have any device to record it, we didn't use cell phones with photography back then. I did ask my friend if he was seeing that light as well as me. He confirmed, also in awe. This event changed the way I see the world, I felt special for having finally witnessed something that I had always believed existed: a superior inteligence force monitoring us somehow, for good, I supposed. I also have another witness who saw it with me. Since then I have been researching the subject, and I have found several videos of sightings identical to the one I witnessed. I want to see it again!

OVNIS AT THE BEACH...

Funny, but it happened at one of the most crowded beach in Rio during a Sunday sunny afternoon. The "Barra de Tijuca Beach" I was with those 3 friends I met at the Youth International Hostel. The brazil-japanese girl, ((name deleted)), from Americana, SP, was the one who first noticed the craft in the sky.

Hundreds of thousand of people were at the beach that day and only ((name deleted)) noticed the light on that sunny day, and she said "look ((name deleted)), what's that thing up there in the sky...?" It took some seconds for me to descry and when I did she said, "no, there's two of them...". The other two friends of hers did not pay much attention in the event, ((name deleted)) and ((name deleted)) are those kind of people that even seeing don't believe, "it might be a baloon, or some other thing made up by men" they said.

About 8 to 10 minutes after, one of the crafts descended at a very observable position and there it stood still for about 3 to 5 m. and then it went towards the see, distancing from the shore.

The other one(the first one we saw) went the same way but so much higher in the sky.
