‘UFOs’ filmed flying over parliament building
Police have launched a probe into the mysterious ‘UFOs’ spotted in the skies above a parliament building.
Several incidents have been reported of potential extraterrestrials flying over the National Congress building in the Brazilian capital of Brasília.
According to officials, there have also been potential sightings of aliens darting across the skies above Esplanada dos Ministérios before vanishing into thin air.
It was initially believed that the unexplained lights and shapes were drones, but local media asked the Federal Police, who denied using the equipment.
A police spokesperson said: “We do not detail any methods or techniques of an investigation.”
They have now launched an official investigation into the sightings, and claim to have sent the images to be assessed by expert analysts.
The Federal District Government confirmed that they did not fly any drones over the area on any night between 13 and 16 August – when they were spotted.
A Brazilian Air Force spokesperson said: “We do not carry out studies or analysis on the subject.
“We only catalogue information provided by third parties and periodically send them to the National Archive.”
UFO researcher and computer engineer Rony Vernet witnessed the mysterious shapes and managed to film them on his Samsung phone.
He said: “It’s rare for me to be interested in third-party UFO videos.
“But this one is fascinating to study because they are flying above the Brazilian Congress and I have obtained the originals.
“I would best describe them as golden luminous birds.”
On August 22, Vernet shared zoomed-in footage of one of the UFOs that appeared to show it flying with a ‘bird flapping’ motion.
The UFO researcher added: “The only logical explanation is that they are white birds reflecting the city lights, however, I’ve never seen birds like that in Brazil, only in the northern hemisphere with birds like Canadian snow geese.”
Thiago Ticchetti, president of the Brazilian Commission of Ufologists, said the mysterious crafts are currently classified as UFOs simply because it remains unclear what they are.
He said: “A UFO is anything that flies and we don’t know what it is. They can be aircraft, birds and even extraterrestrial vehicles.
“If we manage to identify it, it is no longer considered a UFO.”
However, the Brazilian authorities have yet to announce their analysis of Mr Vernet’s viral footage.
And despite authorities claiming they had no drones launched at the time, many people have attempted to justify the unexplained sightings.
