Pirassununga: Helicopter spots landing trace in sugarcane
On March 2, 1988, a UH-50 helicopter over Pirassununga Air Base in Brazil detected a large circular mark in a sugarcane field, suggesting a landing. Investigation revealed crushed plants and signs of prior sample collection.
Background
Entdeckung At 9:25 a.m. on March 2, 1988, crew of a UH-50 helicopter on patrol above Pirassununga Air Base in São Paulo, Brazil, observed a prominent circular formation in adjacent sugarcane terrain. Vegetation appeared compressed, indicating possible heavy object touchdown.
Untersuchung Helicopter personnel alerted superiors about the anomaly. Due to challenging ground access, a second helicopter deployed for direct assessment, landing nearby. 1st Lt. Zogovich captured video documentation of the site. Examiners noted traces suggesting external parties had already extracted materials from the area.
Bedeutung This military-confirmed trace case near active air facility underscores potential UAP activity. Evidence of prior interference raises questions about monitoring efforts. No further public disclosures emerged.
