Brasilia August 2010 - The Air Command Center of the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) will keep a record of all UFOs that appear in Brazilian airspace.An official notice published on August 11 suggests that all civilian and military pilots, air traffic controllers and users of the air traffic control centers should inform of any UFO sightings to the Airspace Defense Command Center in Brasilia.

Any event that is seen, photographed or filmed within the huge Brazilian airspace (8,5 million square kilometers, equivalent to 34 times the size of the United Kingdom) and in the 13,5 million square kilometers over the territorial waters will be filed and archived in the Historical Documents Center of the Brazilian Air Force (Cendoc) . In an undisclosed timeframe, the FAB will transfer all information about UFOs from Cendoc to the National Archives in Rio de Janeiro and Brasilia. Researchers or anyone interested will be able to access this information about ETs and UFOs.


FAB will not chase UFOs


The head of the FAB, brigadier Juniti Saito, signed official order number 551/GC3, on August 9 , whereby the Air Force will only process the information and creating the documents according to eyewitness versions.The FAB sent an official letter to O DIA,a Rio newspaper, where it stated that it will not follow any UFOs sighted in Brazilian airspace." The FAB does not have a specialized structure that can carry out scientific investigations about these aerial phenomenons , it will only register the incidents and deliver them to the National Archives. The FAB wants the citizens to have complete access to the information," said the letter.
12.800 Brazilian air traffic controllers will keep watch on airspace
The documents that will be revealed are not to be understimated. There are12.800 traffic controllers in Brazil, that are constantly focused on their airspace. . "There was a top secret FAB document that instructed personnel about how to register sightings of UFOs ", said a FAB official in charge of air traffic control. "We have reports of sightings by government ministers and even a President that saw UFOs ", said an air traffic controller from Rio de Janeiro. "This official order is given fifty years late. The U.S. government already had the Blue Book Project in the 1950s, with the only purpose of recording UFO sightings", said a high ranking FAB officer. "But over there, as will be the case here, this does not mean that UFOs exist", added the officer.
UFOs and ETs attacked in Pará in the 1970sBetween September and December of 1977, FAB officials investigated in Vigia,in the northern state of Para. Villagers of this jungle area denounced that thay had been attacked by UFOs that fired lasers at them, causing 1º degree burns, dizziness,headaches and trembling and draining of their blood.

Chilean Base Saves 154 Castaways in Antarctica



"Canadian Explorer" sinks and may cause a huge oil spill

Near midnight on November 22, the "Explorer" a Canadian cruise ship hit a floating iceberg near the Presidente Eduardo Frei Base of the Chilean Air Force. In the collision with the ice, a gap was formed in the right side of the ship, very similar to what happened in the famous incident involving the Titanic. Fortunately another cruise ship, the Norde Norge was nearby and at approximately 6:30 a.m. was able to pick up the passengers that were in life rafts and take them to King George Island, very near to the Chilean Air Force base.
A Chilean Air Force plane was the first to sight the Explorer as it banked on a 45 degree angle and also took photos of the people escaping in four life boats and 8 Zodiac boats.
According to the company that owns the Explorer, among the passengers are 23 British citizens, 13 Americans, 10 Canadians , 10 Australians and one person from Hong Kong.
Facing temperatures of -2 ° Celsius the castaways were reported to have disembarked at the Presidente Frei Base, at 9 p.m on Nov. 23. The rescued passengers will be accommodated at the base's gym and will be transported by Chilean Air Force "Hercules" plane to Punta Arenas as soon as the weather conditions improve.
Also the Chilean Navy sent the "Viel" , one of its Icebreakers to the area to evaluate if the Explorer could be saved but the cruise ship was reported to have sunk by 8 p.m on Friday.
A Chilean Air Force plane was the first to sight the Explorer as it banked on a 45 degree angle and also took photos of the people escaping in the life boats.
The Explorer was built in 1969 and had already been involved in three shipwreck incidents, the most serious being in 1979 when the Chilean Navy rescued a crew of 70 persons that had been filming a movie in the Antarctica.

This year's incident could not have come at a better time since it reinforces the Chilean claim to sovereignty over this territory, contrary to a recent British claim to a huge amount of land. The British pretension includes most of the Chilean Antarctic Territory that has been established between 53° West and 90° West of Greenwich. According to the Chilean government, the South American country has most rights to the area due to the legal concept of "Uti Possedetis", whereby the former colonial power, the Kingdom of Spain had already established its borders since the 16th century. Also the peninsula were the Presidente Frei base is located is a natural extension of the Andes Mountains that has its southernmost tip in Chilean territory.

A Chilean naval mission was the first to land in Antarctica in 1820 captained by a Scotsman called Andrew MacFarlane. Along with his crew of Chilean sailors MacFarlane was the first to land in the Antartica as proven by the captain's log kept by Robert Fildes of the "Cora of Liverpool". In November of 1820 Fildes wrote that his ship came into contact with the "Dragon of Valparaiso" and was told by Captain Macfarlane said that the Chilean ship had been in the area for the past seven weeks and had even landed at Deception Island.

This is not the first time that Chile has come to the rescue of foreigners, a most memorable case is that occurred in 1914 as a British expedition commanded by Ernest Shackleton became stranded in the ice aboard its ship, the "Endurance" that finally sank in November of that year. With five other crew members Shackleton set off in a safety boat to the South Georgia Islands, the Falkland Islands and Uruguay, but failed to get help to rescue his remaining 17 comrades. Shackleton then traveled to the port of Punta Arenas,Chile where the local navy organized an expedition headed by Pilot Luis Pardo that rescued the men on August 30, 1916 under temperatures of minus 24 ° Celsius. Pardo´s ship returned to Punta Arenas five days later and was given a heroes welcome by the population and by many foreign press reporters that had traveled to cover the event due to the international interest of the story. The British government offered to pay Pardo a reward of 25,000 pounds for saving Shackleton and his crew but the Chilean officer did not accept the sum and stated that he had only "carried out his duty". Pilot Luis Pardo was promoted by the Chilean navy and in 1919 was appointed Consul in Liverpool, England.
