Ex-airline pilot has close encounter with dome-shaped UFO in Brazil

May, 6, 1994 - Guarantingueta, Brazil

I walked two hundred feet on the side of the road towards the object which was hovering low, no sound came from it... The object was quite large and I estimated it to be at least 70 feet in diameter and about 30 feet high. It was just hovering in the air at about 120-150 feet high." View full report
