Captain Viegas was at the deck with several scientists and members of the crew when he suddenly noticed a flying object, which has a “ring” around it, just like Saturn. Everyone has seen the UFO at the same time.
It came to the island from the east, flied towards the Pico Desejado (Wished Peak), made a step turn and went away very quickly to the northwest.
As soon as the object was noticed Almiro Baraúna was requested for photographing. After getting the camera and going up the quarter-deck, he managed to take great pictures of the object.
