What, Another Boomerang?

Monday October 27, 2008
Santa Catarina, Brazil UFOs come in all shapes and sizes, just like people. We have a lot of photographs of disc-shaped objects, a few photos of triangle-shaped objects, but very few of a boomerang-shaped object. I just recently received one that I know you will find interesting.

The photograph was taken by Marcelo Leonardo, who resides in Campinas, Brazil. The photograph was sent to me by Milton Dino Frank Junior, Presidente do Centro de Ufologia Brasileiro.

The photograph was snapped in Campinas, Brazil in the Urubici Hills. Leonardo made the following statement:

"I was on vacation in Urubici Hills in Santa Catarina State in Brazil. This picture was taken near CINDACTA base. In this picture there appeared a strange object that I could not identify. I used a PANASONIC camera DMC-TZ1 and I really would like to know what this object could be."

See the larger photo, and tell me what you think.

Looks like a pretty good image of a boomerang!

Billy,
The image in the photo reminds me of the “crescent shaped” or “chevron shaped” crafts that were reported more often in the late ’40’s through the ’50’s. The first known UFO sighting, over Mt. Rainier in Washington State, was described as such. Interesting.

The pictures look very familiar. I remember seeing something similar on on earlier site.

Sorry, I was thinking of another picture. Please ignore my first comment.

This one looks more like the Mt. Ranier, or crescent shaped objects. I live in Arizona, along the I-17 corridor, where the Phoenix lights made their appearance, since ‘95. Ours tend to be the Chevron, or V shaped objects, and this one is definitely more crescent shaped.

Two years ago, I was heading for Roswell, NM and we stopped at a small town about 50 miles from there to eat at McDonald’s. The sun was setting on a clear sky and we looked up to see an object which clearly resembled the Indiana photo (#3) you have from 1-31-08. Oddly enough, I pointed it out to six or eight people coming in or out of the restaurant and they just shrugged it off. Apparently, it had been in the sky for the last few days. One resident said: “We see so many UFO’s that we don’t bother to look at them after a while.” How’s that for acceptance? My wife and I are going back to Roswell in January and going through that same town. I will report any sightings to you as we get there. Thanks

Thanks, Bill Foster, for the quote,“We see so many UFO’s that we don’t bother to look at them after a while.”

But, doesn’t this strike anyone as odd?

If you UFOs are manned by extraterrestrials at least 100s light-years from their home-base, why would they gather at Roswell, or parts of Mexico, as another example? Does this make sense?

If anything, the fact that UFOs seem to congregate at such locations seems to give credibility to the notion that they are some kind of natural phenomena at these sites. Or, perhaps, these sites are “portals” to traveling abroad or to another dimension?

Hi Ann, one thing to note; its been suggested that there are “portals” that appear all over the world where the “lay lines” cross…its something to do with the energy created there by the concentration of the magnetic fields…well something like that, I know I’m hitting close by the theory. It does make some kind of weird sense.
