A. J. Geaverd’s Message About the Brazilian
UFO Disclosure
Translated by Farah Yurdozu
With an immense pleasure we inform to all Brazilian Ufological Community that
in a very short time we will be harvesting the fruits of our long one,
exhausting but victorious campaign for the freedom of information in our
country, the UFOs movement: Freedom of Information Now. Representatives of the
Brazilian Commission of Ufologists (CBU) will be in Brasilia (DF) on this Friday
20th, invited by the Brazilian Aeronautics, for a meeting as our military, where
certain private archives will be opened and it will be tried to establish a
protocol of joint inquiry between our aeronautical authorities and the civil
ufologists, with sights to the creation of a commission for this end. This will
be a gigantic step for all of us.
We are in countdown for this great moment of the Brazilian Ufology, dream of
our ufologists has some decades, that is in ways of if carrying through after
one year of intense work through editions printed and of the site of Magazine
UFO. During this year, Magazine UFO received some critical reactions about the
form that lead the movement, considered for ones as "unilateral" and for others,
as "precipitated". We respect all the opinions and the critical ones of
colleagues.
But the fact is that we always made what we find certain, with consultations
to the certain people and best of all the intentions. Happily our campaign is
victorious! In this year UFOs movement: Freedom of Information Now, we put
together the expressive number of 36 thousand signatures, what it is a
significant support to the movement. To all these friends, our perpetual
gratefulness.
Our process of approach with the Brazilian Air Force (BAF) started in passed
February, 10 months after the beginning of the campaign. The Aeronautics
considered our lawsuit just and demonstrated disposal to talk with Brazilian the
Ufológical Community, through the Brazilian Commission of Ufologists, that
launched the campaign and it kept it so far alive. In the occasion, a
representative of the military in looked them and offered itself to receive the
ufologists to the front from the campaign, giving signals of that the BAF would
go to open its archives. After some adjournments, the great meeting was marked
for next day 20 to May, in Brasilia. J. Gevaerd, Landmark Petit, Claudeir Covo,
Rafael Cury, Fernando Ramalho and Robert Beck, substituting Reginaldo de Athayde
will go to the meeting the ufologists. The six people are these who had launched
the movement for the freedom of information and keep it living creature until
today (unfortunately, our co-publisher of UFO Athayde, patient after a series of
surgeries, will not be able to appear).
This historical meeting was treated, in the passed Sunday, by the Istoé
magazine, that published a substance the respect with participation of Gevaerd
and Covo. It is everything confirmed so that the Fantastic can report our visit
to Brasilia and make the covering of the meeting in its edition that will go to
air in 22 of May. It is possible that other ways of the press also appear,
giving bigger amplitude to this conquest. You can send your messages to
editor@ufo.com.br. But nor all the
notice are positive, unhappily. The repercussion of the Istoé provoked some
reactions and profits that already were waited. Between them, sadly, the
manifestation of other groups and people of the Ufology, demanding of the BAF
the "same treatment that Magazine UFO will have". Yes, demanding, as if the BAF
was privileging or benefiting of some form the group of ufologists around
Magazine UFO, or the ufologists of the CBU, in particular. However, widely it is
known that since the first moment of our campaign, insistently and through more
than a dozen of editions of UFO and hundreds of internal pages of our site, we
have been absolutely clear how much to the character of the campaign. Our
position is: any that is the results of this contact with the Aeronautics, in
case that it if has limited to an only occasion or comes to be kept permanent,
all the details - the exception of that our interlocutor to discriminate - will
be to the disposal of the Brazilian Ufology, without restriction, monopoly or
method of clipping. Our campaign is ample, democratic and represents of fact the
yearnings of smashing majority of the Brazilian Ufology. We wait that the
actions of these groups or people do not come to place everything to lose.
Therefore, one more time, as we made at as many moments of our UFOs campaign:
Freedom of Information Now, we repeat: what the CBU to obtain of the BAF goes to
be opened to the all the never restrained or monopolized Brazilian Ufology and
of any form.
In

about UFO Disclosure in Brazil. The Brazilian Air Force has opened up its
secret files showing official investigative reports, photos and case histories
of UFO encounters in that country. A. J. tells Jerry why he thinks complete
disclosure will be a reality in weeks, not months or years. Actual case
histories are discussed, including apparent laser weapon attacks on natives in
