Operation Prato: Brazil's Official UFO Investigation
Brazilian Air Force's classified investigation into UFO attacks on civilians in Colares. Military documented beam injuries and mysterious deaths.
From October to December 1977, the Brazilian Air Force conducted Operation Prato to investigate reports of unidentified aerial phenomena in the Colares region. Under the command of Captain Uyrangê Bolívar Soares Nogueira de Hollanda Lima, military personnel documented numerous witness accounts, photographed aerial objects, and collected medical evidence of alleged encounters. The operation involved systematic surveillance and documentation of unexplained aerial activities. Official reports documented over 300 cases with consistent patterns of unusual light phenomena and reported physical effects on civilians. The operation was concluded in December 1977, with classified findings maintained for over thirty years.

The declassified Operation Prato files provide unprecedented official documentation of UFO phenomena. Captain Hollanda's detailed testimonies and 2,000 pages of military documents confirm serious government investigation into unexplained events. Medical evidence of consistent beam injuries and the military's own photographic documentation suggest phenomena beyond conventional explanation. However, the sudden operation termination and Hollanda's suspicious death raise questions about institutional suppression. While the events remain unexplained, the official military acknowledgment and systematic documentation make this among the most credible UFO cases in government files.
