Dear Colleagues:
This is to inform that Brazilian Government has just declassified a new set
of significant previously secret UFO documents, now covering the 80s. We
already had disclosures covering the 50s, 60s and 70s, all with very
important documents and information. So far over 4,000 pages have been
disclosed.
The recent disclosure is particularly powerful because it contains dozens of
reports of UFOs on May 19, 1986, considered the *“Official UFO Night in
Brazil”,* when 21 spherical objects, estimated 100 meters in diameter –
according to military sources – were detected by radars and spotted by
civilian pilots, and literally jammed air traffic over the major Brazilian
Airports, such as Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Then, several Mirage and F5
jets were scrambled to pursue them.
As a result of that “invasion”, the Air Force minister *brigadier Octavio
Moreira Lima* went public about it the other morning on the national TV
network, declaring all facts openly. The pilots who took part in the pursue
and their commanders also spoke freely about the pursuits, which occurred
over several hours.
We've had several other disclosures since 2007, all as a direct result of
the campaign UFOs: *Freedom Of Information Now*, promoted since 2004 by the
*Brazilian Committee of UFO Researchers*. The latest disclosure comprises
over 2,200 new pages of formerly secret UFO documents that were given to the
Committee and also sent to the Brazilian National Archives.
In late July, hundreds of papers from the Brazilian Air Force's
official *System
for the Investigation of Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (SIOANI) *have
demonstrated how the nation's military authorities dealt with the UFO
Phenomena in the 60s and 70s.
Considering that SIOANI wasn't a top secret agency and that even civilian
researchers took part in its procedures, the structure and functionality of
which proves that Brazil is the first country in the world to officially and
publicly admit the reality of the UFO Phenomena, and the first to
investigate it openly.
For instance, where have you ever seen color drawings of flying saucers
reported by *witnesses and investigated by military personnel*, such as
these ones?

These are only a few links to recently discovered colored drawings of UFOs
seen in Brazil and investigated in the 60s and 70s by the Brazilian Air
Force's official System for the Investigation of Unidentified Aerial
Phenomenon (SIOANI). Much more is about to be disclosed.
The Brazilian UFO Magazine website – www.ufo.com.br – already has thousands
of pages for download, such as over 1,200 pages of documents, 200 photos of
SIOANI's activities and Operation Saucer, carried out in the Amazonian
region in 1977. Along with documents received by the Committee from other
military sources.
Included in the recently revealed documents are the detailed research
proceedings carried out in dozens of UFO-related incidents which had not
been made public previously. Some of the colored sketches of UFO incidents
investigated by SIOANI are here:

Please note: Download, print, publicize and otherwise share these documents,
but please do not fail to mention the source, Brazilian UFO Magazine, and
emphasize that this material is public thanks to the efforts of the *Brazilian
Committee of UFO Researchers (CBU)*, as a direct result of the campaign
UFOs: Freedom of Information Now.

Subject: Urgent update on signature success & ways to help.
To:
Hello Everyone,
There is *exciting news about the Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission ballot
initiative petitioning campaign* in Denver. There are also some immediate
challenges that need to be quickly overcome and I am asking for your help.
The good news is that *we are very close to an historic achievement and
getting on the ballot.* The less convenient news is that we have more
signatures to collect and submit by Nov. 2.
On Sept. 29, the Denver Elections Division completed its review of the 7,298
signatures we submitted on Sept. 4.
Total accepted signatures: 2,944
Total rejected signatures: 4,322
Total needed for ballot access: 3,972
*Total needed to "cure" insufficiency: 1,028*
Based on the validation checks by the petitioning company, we expected to
have the 3,972 valid Denver voter signatures required to get on the ballot
in 2010. So we were shocked to find out that we were 1,028 valid signatures
short. Instead of the 65% validity rate promised by the petitioning company,
the elections office results showed only a 40% validity rate. Another
petition done by the same company and many of the same petitioners, partly
at the same time, got a 60% validation rate.
Many hours have been spent trying to find one or more basic causes for the
discrepancy. We intend to review many of the rejected signatures ourselves.
But this takes time and we can't be certain that the Elections Division will
reverse their decision on any of the rejected signatures we determine as
valid.
One glaring error in the Elections Division procedures was a written
instruction that reviewers should reject any signatures where the *"signed
dates are before or after the notary date"*. It should have said, when
the *"signed
dates are before the date the petition was approved for circulation, or
after the notary date"*. The erroneous instruction, if strictly complied
with, would effectively cause all signatures to be rejected. Obviously that
did not happen but it is not clear if this and a few other confusing or
erroneous instructions caused any unjustified rejections of signatures.
*Petitioners were already back on the street by Oct. 1 to start collecting
at least 1,028 new valid signatures to ensure getting on the ballot.* The
petitioning company expects about 1,000 signatures to be collected by Oct.
15 and this should result in 400-500 new valid signatures. We will check
each signature for validity.
However, we immediately need at least 1,500 additional signatures, beyond
the 1,000 by Oct. 15 to ensure we have at least 1,200-1,300 valid signatures
to offer a comfortable margin of safety for the 1,028 that we need. This
requires only another $1,500 to keep the paid professional petitioners going
beyond Oct. 15.
Here's what I'm asking you to do:
*1. Help collect signatures* if you are living in the Denver area. Contact
me for details. This will be an added buffer as well.
*2. Make any size donation* at http://www.extracampaign.org/Donate.html. *Each
$10 equals 5 more valid signatures!*
We've received donations from as far away as Switzerland and Hong Kong.
Larry W. Bryant of Virginia, a columnist for UFO Magazine, has already paid
for at least 1/2 of over $8,000 in petitioning costs. He lives modestly with
only dial-up Internet and is committed to the success of this historic
campaign. But many small donations add up.
*3. Purchase one or more of the donated items from the list below*.
Collectively, even at special prices being offered, these donated items and
services would produce over $2,000 in funds to cover the remaining
petitioning. Why not do some early holiday shopping for yourself or others
and help *"save the galaxy"* at the same time. The special 150th issue of
UFO Magazine will especially be valuable since it has Larry W. Bryant on the
cover and predictions about the ballot initiative inside.
*[Note: *If you want to buy any of the following items, just send me a check
or donate the appropriate amount at http://www.extracampaign.org/Donate.html.
Add $2.00 for mailing costs. Then e-mail me your address and the item will
be mailed to you.]
As you can see, the task could be as simple and easy as buying some nice
gifts for yourself or others. But the importance of this campaign can not be
overestimated. A new wave of negative propaganda about ETs will start the
day after our Nov. 2 deadline for turning in signatures.
*"V" premieres Nov. 3 on ABC in prime time.* Read the preview at the
following link and you'll see why it reinforces our need to succeed. We
can't let corporate propaganda control the perception of the ET/UFO reality.

*It's the moment of truth for the Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission ballot
initiative campaign and we can all look forward to celebrating victory!*
If you'd like to help this effort succeed, *now* is the time to act with a
clear intention and resolve.
Thank you again for all your support.
