Alcir Pereira de Silva
Commander Alcir Pereira de Silva served as the pilot of the executive Xingu jet. On the night of May 19, 1986, during the Official Brazilian UFO Night, he flew with Colonel Ozires Silva.
While piloting, Alcir Pereira de Silva encountered unidentified objects. He chased a fast-moving bright red-orange light near Pocos de Caldas for thirty minutes, and abandoned landing attempts multiple times due to nearby objects. He confirmed visual contact with three luminous objects at around 10,000 feet.
His actions provided key eyewitness testimony in the UFO incident. He responded to traffic controller queries about non-identified radar targets and pursued objects as part of the military response, breaking off pursuits to attempt landings amid ongoing sightings.
