Operation [Flying] Plate�Amplest UFO Investigation in Brazil, Recently Declassified by The Air
Force
Operation [flying] Plate spanned over the years of 1977 and 1978, providing around 2,000
pages with observations on sight done by the Brazilian Air Force, 500 pictures and 16 hours
of relevant video material with various flying saucers and bewildering eyewitness testimonies.
Due to the authoritative military regime at that time, this hard-to-believe report transited
only through the hands of high-rank military officials, but after decades of silence it
also became available to the general public.
It was the autumn of 1977 when rumors began spreading across Brazil about the residence
of a few marginal settlements in the Amazonian basin that had literally been invaded by strange
flying devices with the ability to submerge.
The UFOs seen over the Maraj� Bay region had various shapes and sizes, ranging from
discs and cylinders to pyramids, and a later report even mentioned something about a 300
feet long (almost 100 meters) barrel-shaped mother ship.
The strange devices displayed an aggressive behavior towards the fishermen and had soon
spread to the rest of the villagers. Nobody was spared by the attackers who were predominantly
active during nighttime. The tenants were mostly caught off-guard by a vivid beam of
light that would paralyze them, followed by another reddish beam presumably used to collect
blood samples.
The story of a terrified woman appears inside the recently declassified report. A resident
of Ba�a do Sol recalled how on October 18, 1977, a powerful light had inundated her room
all of a sudden, and she could see a green light that was scanning her face and felt
the air heating up around her. Before realizing what was happening, the light turned red and
a peculiar being, �like a man, wearing something like a driver�s outfit� was pointing something
like a gun at her. It was boiling hot when it touched her breast causing great pain as
if �there were needles piercing� her skin.
Pinching marks similar to mosquito bites were carved into the skin of the victims, and so
the attackers were dubbed �chupa-chupas� due to their eerie, vampiric nature. The nocturnal
attacks proceeded for months, and the locals from all nearby fishing villages were affected.
Reports of submersible devices pulling people into the water had also started to surface.
It was then when the military detached a special Air Force unit led by Captain Uyrang� Bolivar
Soares Nogueira de Hollanda Lima to look closely into this matter.
Hollanda was skeptical at first, but during the night the UFOs would reveal themselves,
allowing the Air Force squad to take pictures and establish a report. The unusual appearances
were more real than the captain had suspected, and soon turned him from a naysayer into a
believer. He then acknowledged the extra-planetary activity that was going on in that corner
of the Amazon and forwarded a report expressing his newly-acquired beliefs, coupled with some
hard evidence, to the base commander in Belem.
The outcome had Hollanda put in charge of the most ample UFO operation in written history,
encompassing dozens of field experts and photographers that stormed the affected villages in the
Amazon basin in search of additional answers. Over 300 locals were interviewed and numerous
sketches depicting flying disks had been collected.
The abundance of material that had been gathered during the first months of 1978 offered the
Brazilian military the craved answers. Because of the military dictatorship, Operation Plate
was instantly classified and studied by the military officials in the following years.
Numerous researchers were appointed to solve this complex enigma, but the end conclusions
were never released to the public, not even after the official report had been declassified
in 2004.
We can however speculate on this intriguing matter and acknowledge its authenticity and
importance. How can I be certain of such claims? Well, a couple of decades after the �chupa-chupa�
case, Captain Hollande decided to share some insight that he was not allowed to speak until
then.
During an interview with Brazilian UFO Magazine�s editor A. J. Gevaerd, he unveiled never before
heard stories from this top-secret mission that he had been assigned to carry during
the late 70s. The insight provided was truly mind boggling, as it depicted an actual UFO
invasion off the eastern coast of Brazil. Unfortunately, Hollande�s heroic disclosure
weighted too much even for the newly instituted democratic regime, and so the former Air Force
officer had to be silenced.
Three months had passed, and he was found dead, strangulated with his own belt. Hollande�s
tragic and mysterious demise discouraged all others attempting to trail on Operation Plate.
It was then understood that such information is meant to stay away from all praying eyes,
and those attempting to break this balance suddenly become prone to a series of possible
ill-fated outcomes.
Thanks to the courage shown by Hollande, we are now free to read about his encounters
during the 1977-1978 Operation Plate in the Amazonian basin. Don�t forget this was a
real event. It proves that governments have knowledge of extraterrestrial visitors and
visitations for decades now, but for some reason they�re not telling us a thing about
it.
Hollande�s Interview Translated From Spanish
UFO Magazine � If you have created a report, then it tells us that there has already been
some progresses in the investigation?
Hollanda � Yes, when I arrived from Brasilia I already had agents who were sent to investigate
occurrences of UFOs, because this thing was already happening so often in the area of
Colares, which belongs to the city of Vigia, on the coast of Par�.
The mayor of the city sent an officer to the commander of COMAR to inform him that the
UFOs were bothering the fishing very much. Some of them could not exert the fishing activity
anymore, because of the objects navigated under their boats. At times, some objects
even dived near them, in the rivers and in the sea. The local population spent the night
outside. The people set up fires and used firecrackers to try to drive the invaders
away. It was panic that made the mayor contact the command of COMAR, asking for instructions,
and the Brigadier General ordered that I was to investigate the sightings.
UFO Magazine � Was there at some point a participation or instruction from Brasilia
so that the situation is inquired?
Hollanda � At the time, it did not participate in the discussions. There was only one captain
and he received only orders. I was no part of this proceeding and I do not know with
certainty as of the decisions that had been taken. But, for the little that I know, the
decision was in the hands of the command of COMAR. If it had involvement of Brasilia,
I do not know about it.
UFO Magazine � How did you organize Operation Plate? How many sections, how many people,
how many missions etc? And did you organize all the tasks?
Hollanda � Well, we were a team. I was at the head of it. We had five agents, all sergeants,
that worked in the second division of COMAR. Moreover, we had informers on location, people
in the places where the lights appeared, on the field,that helped them. At the time I
divided the team in two or three different positions in the country. Clearly, we were
constantly in contact with one another, through radio.
UFO Magazine � What was the immediate objective of Operation Plate? To observe flying disks,
to photograph them and to contact them?
Hollanda � As a matter of fact I wanted to test this thing off exactly and completely.
It wanted to explain it and clear it out. Because everybody spoke in the lights and
objects and had even nicknamed them with popular names, such as �Chupa-chupa� (Ed.: �suck-suck�
or �absorb-absorb�). And, the Brazilian Air Forces needed to know what was really
happening, since this occurred in the Brazilian airspace. The responsibility to inquire was
ours. But in the beginning of Operation Plate, what I exactly I wanted was a confirmation
the events that were happening.
UFO Magazine � What motivated the local population to call the lights �Cupa-chupa?�
Hollanda � There were a series of stories of people who had been touched by a light
ray. All judged that the effect of the ray was to suck blood out of them. And actually
we verified some cases and we discovered that several of them, mainly women, had strangest
marks on their left breast, and there were two punctures of needle around a brown spot.
It looked like iodine burning. And those people had their blood sucked out, in small amount,
by those lights.
Therefore they had started to nickname them �Chupa-chupa.� It was always the same
thing: a light came out of nothing and followed somebody, generally a woman, who was hit on
the left breast. At some times they were men who were hit, with marks in the arms and (pemas.)
To tell you the truth, in ten cases, there were more or less eight women and two men.
UFO Magazine � And you have recorded and checked the marks on the people?
Hollanda � Yes, it was all checked and analyzed by doctors, who went with us to the locations
at the time. Sincerely, I entered in this as the devil�s advocate. What I exactly
wanted was to demystify this story and to say to my commander that this thing did not
exist, that it was a collective hallucination. I found that some things were being seen,
but that it was not extraterrestrial.
UFO Magazine � What did you think it was, then, that was being seen and attacked the
people?
Hollanda � I do not know. Perhaps the plumage of an owl reflecting the light of the moon
or some other thing of this sort. It was thought it might be extraterrestrial, but I did not
think so. I went there for verifying that this thing was really happening. I spent at
least two months to get an answer for my commander, when I came back from the mission, I had discovered
nothing.
The first the two months of Operation Plate, I saw nothing that could change my opinion.
At one point we spent one week in the weeds and came back only on the Sunday, we lived
a little bit like a family. At each report, my commander asked:
�Did you see something?� And my response was always: �We saw strange lights, at least,
but nothing extraterrestrial�. In fact, we saw lights that never blinked, that passed
at a low altitude, but nothing very strange.
UFO Magazine � This was during the night. What happened during the day? Were there other
activities during Operation Plate?
Hollanda � Yes, we had other things to do, that were part of the objectives of the operation.
We made interviews with people who had had experiences, we prepared the places to spend
the night and searched �hot� spots for night watches. When we discovered that something
appeared in such a place, we (�). We made a survey of the situation, and we always registered
the names of the involved people in a proper form.
UFO Magazine � What procedure or methodology was used to collect information?
Hollanda � We always recorded the name of the person who had the experience, the place
where it occurred, the date and time etc. We made a description of each fact that occurred
in the same locality. Thus, if three cases in a night happened, people heard three witnesses.
Some of the descriptions were common, the other had most strangeness. At times we received
stories from things that we could not prove to be authentic, as dematerialization of entire
walls or roofs, for example.
UFO Magazine � What do you mean? Do you have some example to illustrate this type
of events?
Hollanda � Yes. The first lady that I interviewed in Colares, for example, told me absurd things.
We came by the helicopter from Bel�m just to hear a woman who had been attacked by the
Chupa-Chupa. We really did see that she had a mark in the left breast. It was brown, as
if it was a burning, and had series of holes in a line. When we talked, told to me that
a child was seated in a net trying to put a child to sleep when, suddenly, the environment
started to change of temperature. She found it rather pleasant, but she could not imagine
what happened next. Then, lying in the net, she saw that the roofing tiles had started
to be colored, in live coal color. After that, they changed to be transparent and she could
see the sky through the roof. It was as if the roofing tiles had turned into glass. She
saw the sky and even the stars.
UFO Magazine � Were strange stories such as this very common during Operation Plate?
Hollanda � Very common, and it scared me a lot, because I had never heard anyone speak
about such things. When I heard of such cases, I was both worried and even more curious.
These people seemed to be sincere. For example, through the hole that the woman described
she saw a green light shining in the sky. The lady was half asleep, until, after that,
a red ray that left the UFO reached her left breast. It was strange that in the majority
of the cases the people were hit at their left side. There was more: exactly at the
time where we were speaking of this, a girl came to us and said:
�Look at the thing that is passing above.� When I left the house, I saw the light that
the young girl was pointing, flying at a reasonable speed, although the sky was sufficiently covered.
It was not very quick and it blinked as it was going to the North. It looked like a satellite,
except that this light turned back on its route � and satellites do not do this!
Soon after that, there was something even stranger. But I could not exactly say if it
was an extraterrestrial ship. By the way, I was not there to cover up anything that
appeared as being a flying disk.
UFO Magazine � Did you use some type of radar equipment that could confirm or follow
these phenomena?
Hollanda � No. All the airports have fixed radars. We did not carry anything of this
type.
UFO Magazine � Were the attacks that were happening with certain frequency communicated
to the Government, to the state or municipal authorities?
Hollanda � Yes, clearly. Some doctors of the Ministry of Public Health of Par� had
been sent by the government to examine the people. They analyzed the burnt skins and
took the patients statements, but they did not do anything more than that � never.
Some victims recovered easily. Others were very terrified. Some have been nauseates,
or fell asleep for days. A citizen once came to look for me and said that next to his house
a light had appeared, that focuses a shining ray towards him. He told me that he has been
so terrified that he ran inside his house, caught a weapon and pointed it to the light.
Then stronger rays came and caused him to fall. The poor men spent two weeks with locomotion
problems (Ed.: Because he fell), but did not have anything more serious.
He has not been hit by anything solid, as a shot, for example. It seems that the nature
of this light was that of a very strong energy that left people paralyzed. I believe that
the federal authorities were informed of this type of attack on human beings that were happening
in the region, but I am unaware of any tests. I only received orders from my commander,
nothing more.
UFO Magazine � If these depositions had been collected since the beginning of the
Operation Plate, when were the first close encounters with UFOS in that region begin?
Hollanda � It was sufficiently significant. Certain night, our team was searching the
Island of Mosqueiro, in a place called Bahia do Sol (Ed.: Sun Bay) (Publisher: a known
health-resort of Bel�m, near Colares), therefore we had information that these things were
happening there. And as we were investigating all and any indication of ufological occurrences,
we settled ourselves in the place. In this period, the agents who had more time than
I to devote to this operation � since �I caught the train when it was already started�
-, they questioned me all the time, after they saw some lights, as if I was already
convinced of the existence of the phenomenon. As I was still undecided, they said to me:
�But captain, do you still not believe?� I answered that I wasn�t, that we needed
more tests to believe that those things were flying disks. I had not seen any ship at that
time. Only light, many and varied. I was still not satisfied.
