This Brazilian Navy General Staff report, released via NICAP, examines unidentified flying objects sighted at the Island of Trinidad between 12/5/57 and 1/16/58. It gathers statements from the oceanographic station commandant, CC Bacellar, and from photographer Almiro Barauna, who took photographs aboard the ship Almirante Saldanha. The negatives were examined by DHN and Cruzeiro do Sul technicians, who found no sign of later montage. The report concludes that the testimony is fallible but admits there are indications that UFOs exist.
