Brazilian Air Force / National Archives
Força Aérea Brasileira / Arquivo Nacional
Brazil's air force and national archive, between them holding one of the largest officially released UFO record sets anywhere — Operação Prato included.
No scorecard yet
Aletheca has not filed with this body, so there is nothing to measure. A zero here would read as “releases nothing” rather than “never asked”, which is why the row is absent instead of empty. Filing outside the United States is not yet supported, so for now this record is for reading and routing.
How it takes requests

Routes marked verified were fetched and confirmed against the body’s own official pages; those marked unconfirmed are well documented but have not been checked here, and none has been proven by a delivered letter. Aletheca cannot yet originate a request outside the United States — this record exists so a request about these holdings can be routed to the right door.
What it holds
- Operação Prato (1977, Colares) field reports, photographs and the officers' notebooks — at the Arquivo Nacional
- SIOANI (1969–72) files, the Air Force's own UFO study system
- The 'Official Night of the UFOs' (19 May 1986) radar and interceptor records
Record classes this kind of body normally keeps. Useful for drafting a request a records officer can act on without guessing — a request describing records the agency does not hold is refused as no-records, which costs a filing fee and teaches nobody anything.
Filing tips
- Most of the classic files are transferred and open — search the Arquivo Nacional's SIAN catalogue for 'óvni' and 'objetos voadores não identificados' before filing.
- File LAI requests through Fala.BR against the Comando da Aeronáutica; the CGU appeal is free and often productive.
