- The Technical-Scientific Department of the Piaui Police
collected a chunk of an unidentified flying object (UFO) that fell in the
region after an explosion in the sky. The material shall be forwarded to
the INPE (National Institute of Space Exploration) for a more thorough
analysis. The Secretaray of State of Safety Matters, Menandro Pedro da
Luz, has said that he himself verified the material collected and that
it was no more than a piece of iron plate, measuring around one meter,
that shows signs of heating possibly as a result of entering the Earth's
atmosphere.
-
- The Secretary was unable to say if there were signs of
radiation on the object, but reported that the material is being sent to
INPE for a more detailed analysis.
-
- "There is an office at INPE at Navidad, in Rio Grande
do Norte, or the one in Sao Luis, in Maranhao, due to the Alcantara rocket
launching site. They must identify the origin and nature of the material
collected," he remarked.
-
- The Delegate of Batalha, Police Sergeant Raimundo Nonato,
known as "Sargento Cajura", was frightened by the arrival of
the car from the Technical-Scientific Police department to collect the
object. The local population has visited the police precinct to assuage
its curiosity about the object that exploded in the sky, causing a loud
report and a flash in the early hours of Sunday morning. He has information
that other pieces of the same material are scattered between the cities
of Barras and Batalla.
