Santo Antônio do Tauá – Amelia Martins da Silva, was Walking from Santo Antônio do Tauá to her home with one of her daughters Odete; when 2 kilometers from the village she saw coming from the right something like a reddish-yellow light, very bright (like the headlight on a car). Initially the light was cutting diagonally across the road but abruptly changed direction coming exactly in the direction of her and her daughter, rapidly crossing to their left. They sought shelter under a tree, the object stopped for several minutes, then slowly moved and returned to its original direction (E/SW) and headed toward Vigia/Belém.
Amelia suffered no physical effects and did not fear the encounter. She thought that the object was very beautiful and she was pleased to see such a new thing. The altitude was about 30 meters. Odete Martins da Silva, 35 Amelia's daughter ,being by temperament very timid, she agreed with the accuracy of the report of her mother. Amelia described the object about 1.30 meters wide( she compared it to a table in her home) with one meter high, round like an inverted plate with a sharp protuberance sticking out from which came a reddish luminescence, the body a color blue from which came bright light giving the impression of being transparent. She did not see any human forms inside the object. Its movement was slow, but at times it accelerated with the speed of a jet plane.

APR. 1977
April 1977(more than six months before Operacao Prato began) Four wood cutters were aboard an old wooden fishing boat and they had gone to the uninhabited Crab Island in the Bay of Sao Marcos, to get wooden pales to sell. The island is hundreds of kilometers east of Colares. The next day three of the men awoke the next morning to find the fourth dead in his hammock. Two of the survivors were burned, one seriously. The survivors have never learned what happened to them. A number of people in the Sao Marcos-Crab Island-Pinheiro area were burned by UFOs in incidents similar to those in Colares and Vigia. The sightings lasted for four months (April, May, June and July 1977) before tapering off, and apparently the UFOs then moved on to the Colares area. Hollanda believed that after leaving the Colares area they went farther west into Amazonas.
Some of the locals interviewed by Hollanda described a recurring craft with unusual cylindrical shape with an opening at the top. A row a blinking bright lights at the located bottom section, with two protruding appendices that seem to be some kind of antennae. The object was emitting a intense ray of light that was reflected by the water, This craft moved in a horizontal manner.
