The Ubatuba incident is a notable UFO event that occurred on September 14, 1957, near Toninhas Beach in the small town of Ubatuba, Brazil. On that day, several witnesses reported seeing a bright object descending rapidly from the sky. As the object neared the ground, it suddenly exploded, scattering fragments along the beach and into the nearby sea.
The incident quickly drew significant attention due to the dramatic nature of the explosion and the physical evidence left behind. One of the witnesses collected some of the metal fragments and later sent them, along with a detailed letter describing the event, to Ibrahim Sued, a columnist for the Rio de Janeiro newspaper O Globo. The identity of the witness and other observers remained anonymous, adding an element of mystery to the incident.
The metal fragments were analyzed by several laboratories and found to be composed of nearly pure magnesium, with a purity level of 99.99%. This finding was unusual and intriguing because such high-purity magnesium is rare and difficult to produce, especially in the 1950s. The analysis results added credibility to the witness's account and sparked further interest and investigation from UFO researchers and enthusiasts.
Despite the physical evidence and the detailed eyewitness accounts, the origin of the object that exploded over Ubatuba remains unknown. Various theories have been proposed, ranging from secret military experiments to extraterrestrial spacecraft, but no definitive explanation has been provided.
