    The first experience was on September 23, 1971 when Paul was returning from Carangola, where he had gone to work. Around 19h45m about 3 km from the city of Tombos, he noticed in the rearview mirror he was followed by a luminous body. The distance was shortening between them till be reduced to 3 meters. So the object evolved around his car, half a meter off the ground.

    It was a red machine, elliptical in shape, with a 3 meters high by 2.50 meters wide. Then it took a white color of bluish glow. At this time, the car began to lose speed until it stops. The object continued turning around the vehicle for about 3 or 4 minutes without any noise, rising later. Paulo noticed that the car had to be meshed with the engine running because suddenly took a step forward and the engine turned off.

    Terrified, sweating copiously, he tryied to turn on the engine again and it turned on normally. He went to the city of Tombos where he arrived minutes later. There he reported the incident to the police chief who took him to his residence, giving him sugar water to calm down and recommending you stay overnight in Tombos.

    Chased again

    Shortly after Tombos, before reaching the Portiuncula, he saw in the mirror that the device was following him again at a distance of 10 meters or so. Near the city of Natividade he saw again the object. He stopped at the gas station of Celso, who told the fact.

    "That's nothing - said Celso -. Pray one time "The Lord's Prayer" and go ahead That's people from Mars."

    Missing 13 km to reach Itaperuna, in the town of Banana, Paulo noticed the luminous body once again, about 500 meters high. A 3 Km forward in Serraria, located at Km 4 on the RJ-100 highway, he saw a dark figure he thought was an animal. When approached until about 10 meters, the thing lit up all red light and at the same time, his vehicle turned off, following onto the road shoulder, as if by magic, and stopped. So while the device's color changed from red to white. Paulo tried desperately to leave the site, but the car did not move. He heard a shrill whistle coming from the object, a door opened and, inside, was designed a light beam that hit him.

    Down three small creatures that looked like boys 5-6 years. Would have about 1 meter high and were illuminated by the light radiated through the door. They approached slowly, because his movements were slow and legs bent not be enough, giving the impression of floating in the air. When they came very close to the car, brings the car opened without someone had touched him and, even against his will, walked out toward the entrance of the ship, in which was accompanied by two of the little men, one on each side.

    Inside the ship

    Arriving in front of the door, the three were taken to the interior of the ship by a kind of shovel. He did not see the other crew member entered the disk. Inside, he found himself in a brightly lit room. He heard the same whistle and the door closed. For a while it seemed to be rising, as if at a very fast lift.

    He noticed it was surrounded by a beam of yellow light, oscillating, coming from the flat roof and hexagonal, about 2.50m above his head. He realized he was too weak to talk and react, but he was perfectly conscious. He thought he was being examined, without anyone or anything touch the stuff, though. He did not see the eyes and the nose of the crew because the face was covered with a gray material, the tapered helmet color they wore. They chin was thin. They opened and closed his mouth without making a sound. They had high shoulders, almost no neck. The outfit was clear blue, simple shoes and rectangular beveled front.

    The return

    Suddenly he had the feeling of being in an elevator in a very rapid descent and soon heard the whistle, opening the door. Again it was escorted by two of them when the shovel put them on the floor.

    Falling from weakness on the road asphalt, he felt he was being dragged a few meters to stand beside the road, on the slope, then he faintied. Regained consciousness in time to see the object in oblique and slow rise until some 100 meters when accelerating speed quickly disappeared. He lay on the floor a few more 10 minutes. Hearing the sound of a car approaching he rose and and motioned for the car to stop. He asked the driver, Dr. Crespo, to warn the police. Soon after it passed another vehicle, whose occupants advised him to follow them idling.

    In the city, Paulo went to the police station reporting the fact, after being sent to SAMDU which was attended by his personal physician, Dr. Bussad.

    After that terrible night, Paulo Caetano became nervous, angry, feeling sometimes darkening of view, heat and burning eyes. No sooner was he completely recovered when new adventure knocked on your door, or better saying, to his window.

    It was the dawn of October 11, 1971, 18 days after their first experience. Waking with a start at 3 am, as by a mental shock, he noticed a light that penetrated through the kitchen window. He got up to check and found that there was a flying-disc floating half a meter off the ground in the backyard of his home.

    Beside the disk there was little men, who pointed a small box in his direction. They were thus looking at each other for about 10 minutes, when he began to experience headache. Then the disk and crew were away and he went back to bed but could not sleep that night.

    The abductions continues

    The next time, Paulo was also accompanied. Elvio his friend invited him to go to the city of Natividade de Carangola, on November 17, 1971, and when they returned, near Bananeiras, they felt that the car was not working well and this drew Élvio attention. Elvio then simply replied that he wanted to sleep. As soon as he slept new contact occurred.

    The abduction occurred just as the first time. When he was already aboard the object, one member of the crew asked, through gestures, to lie on a bed with pillow. As the table was very small he was with legs hanging down. It appeared a device that held both his arms. Then he felt an incision in the elbow where apparently her blood was collected. Thereafter the wound was rinsed and dried using hot air.

    Then they showed him two panels. One of them represented the layout of a city, similar to Itaperuna, another represented the explosion of an atomic bomb.

    They brought him back on the road, but he didn't know how arrived back at Itaperuna. Just remember to be with a heavy body and was supported by his friend Elvio.

    Elvio's version

    Elvio has a testimony somewhat different from Paul. He says that, close to Bananeira, Paulo Caetano began to show signs of nervousness, saying they were being followed by a flying saucer when "in reality" were followed by a bus at reasonable distance. Shortly after, Paulo began to slow down the car stopping him. He did not notice when his friend got out, did not even know how the door was opened, but he saw it lying on the ground behind the vehicle, half unconscious, and had a hard time putting it up.

    They ended up going by bus to Itaperuna, where were attended by Dr. Humberto Campos de Souza, which found injury and hyperchromic spots on the elbow region. The nurse said that these spots smelled like burnt. The doctor was surprised that the patient during the examination, asked his name, as they already knew for a long time. The police were notified and the car, which had been on the road, was removed.

    A mission of peace

    His fourth alien contact occurred on December 5, 1971. Paulo was near the Carangola bridge, when he saw a flying saucer that it came to be at a distance of 20 meters. He stopped the car, got out and realized the ship door was opened. Two crew members, one on another door in the cabin, made him signs. As in other times he rose led by shovel and was invited to sit on a stool. The two pilots, standing, spoke to him in Spanish, but without any movement of their lips. It was like listening to a recording. They said they were there on a peace mission, preparing people to get in touch with them.
