Marcio Brisola Jordão

Márcio Brisola Jordão was a Brazilian Air Force captain and aviator who piloted an F-5E fighter jet during a significant UFO incident over Brazil. On the night of May 19, 1986, Jordão was scrambled from Santa Cruz Air Base as part of a Brazilian Air Force response to unidentified luminous spherical objects detected in Brazilian airspace. During the operation, five fighter aircraft were deployed in an attempt to identify the objects. Jordão reported observing a very strong white light at the 11 o'clock position relative to his aircraft and provided detailed testimony about the incident, noting the unusual brightness of the night sky. His account remains one of the documented military pilot testimonies regarding UFO encounters in Brazil.
