After Amazonian villagers in and around Colares reported beams of light from the sky producing burns, fainting, and lasting medical effects, the Brazilian Air Force's First Air Command dispatched a research team for a four-month investigation. The unit produced 500 pages of reports, hundreds of photographs, and six hours of film. The dossier was declassified in 2005 and is held by the National Archives of Brazil.
