Armindo Sousa Viriato de Freitas

Captain Armindo Sousa Viriato de Freitas is a Brazilian Air Force pilot known for his involvement in a significant UFO encounter on an unspecified date, likely in the late 1980s or early 1990s. Piloting a Mirage F-103 fighter from Anápolis Air Base in Goiás, he took off at 10:48 pm to intercept an unidentified object detected during a scramble of multiple jets from Santa Cruz Air Base. At 11:09 pm, his radar locked onto a signal 22 kilometers away, framing the target and preparing to fire, perceiving it as a potential enemy. The object exhibited unusual maneuvers, consistent with reports of superior technology, as noted by UFO researcher Ademar José Gevaerd. No further personal details, publications, or testimonies from Freitas are documented in available sources. Birth and death years remain unknown.
