Mystery surrounds bizarre pieces of burning debris that fell on a man’s roof in Brazil, with the Air Force remaining tight-lipped over the incident.
Michel Ramos dos Santos, 39, said he was frightened by the situation after the unidentified objects fell from the sky, hit the roof of his home and damaged a water heater, according to local media reports in Sao Vicente, in Sao Paulo, in Brazil, on Saturday, 6th July.
The railway engineer said that he was relaxing on his sofa when he heard a loud noise on his roof.
He said: “At the time, I didn’t know for sure what it was. I thought the roof was breaking and everything was flying.”
He ran outside and saw smoke coming from the roof of his house.
He added: “I saw that there was no short circuit. I went up to the roof and saw that it was broken and smoke was still coming out. I had to go into the attic to see what had happened.”
Michel said that he found the bizarre object immediately after going to the attic, saying: “It was a little hot and, in the black part, it was on fire.”
He added: “It’s strange, it’s made of aluminium. There’s a piece that has some strings like cloth, and it melted a little. We were scared. We don’t know what it is.”
UFO expert Edison Boaventura Junior, president of the Guaruja Ufological Group (GUG), told local media that further analysis was required in order to identify the object.
He said: “It could be a number of things: a weather balloon, space junk, and only by analysing the metallic material could we consider the possibility of an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO).”
Local media contacted the Brazilian Air Force for a statement regarding whether an aircraft might have been in the area at the time but they said that they had not received a response at the time of writing.
