2009-11-06 - Saquarema (Rio de Janeiro) (Brasil) - Light

Orangeyred lights 3 in a triangle equidistant were still, no sound, same shape zoomed off horizontally altogether

The following is the photograph that stays in my mind from my first UFO experience: I was awake lying in a hammock outside on the veranda, right next to the house, talking with a friend under a clear starry night. This was early on November 6th, 2009 in Saquarema, a beach town in Rio, Brasil with only low rise homes. It was quiet and dark all around except for one light inside the room on my right. My friend was sitting by a table on the same veranda and stepped inside for just a couple of minutes.

First sitting: This was around 03:00 or later and as I leaned my head back on the hammock I looked straight up and saw 3 reddish orange lights, shaped in a triangle, equidistant from each other, all the same size, approximately the size of a nickel coin at arm’s length.

These 3 lights were not moving, just still in one same spot, strong lights but not shinny nor flickering, each one was the same and had no variation of color.

From the angle I was looking (up) they were in an arrow shape and I can’t remember if this way : - or this way - : , and I was quiet, analyzing what I was looking at when just before my friend stepped back to the veranda, these lights all of a sudden, altogether in the same shape took off to the right at lightning speed, they did not leave any streak behind, and I could not follow them further because the roof of the house created an obstacle to my view. This entire sighting seems to have lasted only about 10-15 seconds, just enough to appreciate it. There was no sound from the lights the entire event.

Second sitting: I immediately made a comment to my friend of what I had seen pointing in the direction of where the lights had gone but at the same time I looked around the sky when I spotted another single light, of a smaller size, about the size of a dime coin at arm’s length but white, it was further away and not overhead and located in the opposite direction from where the other 3 orangey red lights had gone. This whiter light was similar to the color of any big star in the sky but bigger, and it was also standing still when I saw it, just bright, not flickering, and just as I was guessing it was not a star it zoomed off horizontally that other way (to the left) to quickly disappear in the black.

My conclusions: What I saw had nothing to do with the characteristics of any balloons, nor fireworks, nor any earthly manmade airplanes, nor a manmade satellite, nor falling stars or comet, nothing that we know made today on Earth can move as fast and silently in the sky from a still position. It was definitely something not Terrestrial.

Me: I believe in non-human extraterrestrial intelligence existence. I have been a photographer for many years but did not even try to get my camera so not to take my eyes off of what I was seeing, and it lasted only seconds anyhow. I have always wanted to see a “UFO”, a real one myself, not in pictures. I was not scarred, I was not surprised, I would say I was momentarily perplexed. I just looked up, saw what I saw, and enjoyed it.

And: To my curiosity I googled the date of my ufo sitting and was pleased to see that someone from the beach in Saquarema photographed a strange dot in the sunset sky over the ocean the day before. It was good to know someone else also saw something unusual in the area skies the previous day.
