This Day In UFO History: Pilot encounters giant pyramid-shaped UFO over Pelotas, Brazil, Oct 5, 1996 UAP Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Oct 5, 1996

Location of sighting: Pelotas, Brazil

This is easily one of the most incredible pilot UFO encounters ever recorded—and 100% real.

On November 5, 1996, acrobatic pilot Haraldo Westendorf took off over Pelotas, Brazil, expecting a quick 12-minute recreational flight in his Embraer EMB-712. Instead, he came face-to-face with a mind-boggling, stadium-sized UFO floating at 5,000 feet.

Here is what makes this sighting so mind-blowing:

• Massive Scale: The craft was a massive brown faceted cone—roughly 325 feet wide and 225 feet tall. It was big enough to swallow a soccer field, making Westendorf's plane look like a speck.
  
  
• Extreme Close Encounter: Not realizing the potential danger, Westendorf flew around the base three times, getting within 40 meters of the object as it rotated slowly. The Pelotas tower confirmed they could see the massive craft from the ground.
  
  
• A Mothership Launch: After his third pass, the top of the giant cone opened up. A classic 30-foot flying saucer emerged from the inside, tilted, and shot off into the sky at an estimated Mach 10.
  
  
• Impossible Physics: When Westendorf tried to climb above the mothership for a better look, it shot red light beams into the sky and shot straight up at unthinkable speeds. Despite the craft being triple the weight of a Boeing 747, it left zero wake turbulence—defying known aerodynamics.
  
  

An experienced stunt pilot, ground tower confirmation, and a mothership releasing a smaller saucer in broad daylight. Guys, this is absolute 100% proof that alien technology operating in our skies is light-years ahead of anything we possess!
