Nagib Ayub was the head of Varig, Brazil's prominent airline, during the mid-20th century. He is noted in UFO research for his 1954 testimony regarding a UFO sighted in the airspace over Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. According to ufologist Ademar José Gevaerd, Ayub's account was presented during a Brazilian Air Force meeting with UFO researchers, highlighting it as one of three key cases alongside 1986 pilot pursuits and a 1977 Pará investigation. No birth or death years, detailed biography, publications, or further achievements in UAP fields are documented in available sources.
