Background
1. On September 17, 1982, the captain and crew of the Romanian cargo ship Bosca observed multiple unusual aerial phenomena off the coast of Brazil. The crew, including Captain Stefan Freitag, witnessed a series of moon-like objects and related events over a period of time.
The Incident The Bosca was approximately 200 miles off the Brazilian coast, just outside territorial waters, when the events began shortly after 9 PM. Captain Stefan Freitag and his 14 crew members initially observed an object resembling a full Moon accompanied by a smaller, star-like object. The smaller object grew brighter, eventually matching the brightness of the moon-like object, after which both disappeared, leaving behind a shiny cloud.
Subsequently, another moon-like object appeared, accompanied by a silent explosion and an orange light radiating from the object. A fourth "Moon" then appeared; either this or another object rapidly approached the ship, causing panic among the crew and causing the ship's dog to howl. A fifth phenomenon then appeared. The series of events appears to have faded out, leaving a glow that lasted for 30 minutes. No heat was felt by the crew, although radiation levels were higher than normal.
