The Burning on Forte Itaipu Sentinels UFO Incident was one of the most famous that involved injuries to human beings. It took place on November 4, 1957, on the Forte Itaipu, in the city of Praia Grande, São Paulo, Brazil. At 2:00am, two sentinels of the fort noticed an intense brightness in the sky.

At first, they thought it to be a star witch brightness had increased for an unknown reason. Then they realized it was actually an object that was descending at high speed directly towards the fort. At 1000 feet above the fort, it suddenly reduced its speed.

At this moment, the sentinels could see that the UFO was circular, about 100 feet diameter, and has an intense orange brightness. The object stopped and the sentinels were so frightened that they could not react. Each of them was armed with a sub machine gun, but they hadn’t dared to fire the UFO or raise the alarm.

Suddenly, the UFO started emitting a strong humming, and a strong heat wave hit the sentinels, even thought there wasn’t any visible flame or light.

The sentinels were frightened and their clothes burned in flames. One of them did not resist, fell on his knees and fainted. The other one took cover under a cannon. The screams alerted the troops that were around there, but the lights went out before they could ever react.

A minute later, the lights came back right after the heat wave stopped. Some soldiers could see the UFO going up to the sky.

The burned sentinels were taken inside the fort and received medical treatment. After, the fort’s commander sent a message to the head quartet of the Brazilian Army.

As the United States had more knowledge about UFOs, Brazilian authorities asked for help to the American embassy on the investigations. As soon as possible, Brazilian Army and United States Air Force personnel flew to the fort, along with investigators of the Brazilian Air Force.

The sentinels still were very injured, but they could speak a few words. After listening to the descriptions of the UFO and of the situation, the investigators discussed why the sentinels were attacked.

To this day, the Fort Itaipu incident still remains without any official explanation.
