Colares 'chupa-chupa' lights

In 1977 residents of Colares and nearby Pará villages reported beams of light from aerial objects that left burns, puncture marks and weakness; a local physician, Wellaide Cecim Carvalho, later said she treated dozens of patients. At the mayor's request the Brazilian Air Force ran Operação Prato under Capt. Uyrangê Hollanda for about four months, photographing and filming lights; its files are at the Brazilian National Archives. Accounts of what the files conclude differ: one summary says the operation closed after finding nothing unusual, while Hollanda in a 1997 interview and later ufologists described craft and injuries. AAWSAP's 2010 paper on physiological effects (PURSUE DOW-UAP-D128) cites Colares among its cases.

None established; social panic with misidentified lights and unrelated injuries proposed

  DOW-UAP-D128, AAWSAP DIRD, Anomalous Acute and Subacute Field Effects on Human Biological Tissues, March 2010

  A clinical-medical/biophysics review, prepared under AAWSAP by an author identifying himself as the former Assistant National Intelligence Officer for Science and Technology who ran the INSCOM effort behind a 1998 declassified 'Bioeffects of Selected Nonlethal Weapons' study. It catalogs physiological injuries (burns, erythema, neurological and psychiatric symptoms) reportedly suffered by people exposed at close range to 'anomalous aerospace systems,' compares these to the known medical literature on RF/microwave/electromagnetic field injury, and argues the injury patterns can be used to 'reverse engineer' the energy characteristics of unknown craft. It explicitly excludes psychophysics, paranormal and abduction-related psychiatric phenomena from its main scope, but its appendices catalog UFO-related physiological effects (including 'apparent experience of telepathy' and 'claimed ESP development') and reproduce a classification scheme (the 'Vallee Ratings') that includes near-death experiences, OBEs, poltergeists and 'paranormal experience' as anomaly categories.

  The Brazilian military collected extensive UAP data, including the Varginha episode (multiple witnesses, an alleged entity) and the Colares episode near the mouth of the Amazon (weeks of alleged craft 'zapping' villagers, photographed by the Brazilian military).

  the Varginha episode where multiple individuals saw this object... and then the Colares episode... the Brazilian military showed up and has pictures
