[edit] 1957
- On September 4, 1957 at 19:21, four bombers aircraft took off the Ota Air Base, in Portugal. They were under Captain José Lemos Ferreira control. The others pilots were sergeants Alberto Gomes Covas, Salvador Alberto Oliveira e Manuel Neves Marcelino. The first part of the operation was successful, and so they turned towards the city of Portalegre. At this point, Captain Ferreira noticed a strange light above the horizon. After observing it for 3 or 4 minutes, he warned the others about what he had just seen. The pilot on his right had already seen it. The object looked like a very shining star, but much bigger than normal. It’s center changed colors constantly, going from green to blue, and also some yellow and red tones.
