The investigation of paranormal activity tends to elicit a gathering of incredulity and fascination, especially in investigating the rich tapestry of unexplained occurrences that are scattered throughout our past. This report takes listeners to Brazil’s tiny island of Colares in 1977, where everyday life was turned about in ways most unbelievable. The residents, having been engaged in their normal endeavors, were placed in the position of being witnesses to a series of unexplained lights and events which did not fit into the established explanation. The narrative starts with a descriptive timeline of these phenomena, such as the appearance of glowing spheres acting outside known technology, lighting up the night sky and causing a sense of overwhelming fear within the community. The episode closely tracks the development of these events, their emotional and physical effects on the residents, who were feeling paralytic, suffering from unexplained trauma, and universally afraid of an epidemic in their midst. The climax of the events reached the Brazilian armed forces’ notice, and an interagency investigation called Operation Saucer was created to look into the sightings, producing a snowball of documents that eventually led to an official denial of any bizarre findings but essentially left questions still unanswered. This show puts listeners in mind of the nature of such events, the definition of fear, and how far agencies will go to conceal the truth of our existence.
