A civilian photographer aboard the Brazilian Navy research vessel Almirante Saldanha captured four photographs of a Saturn-shaped object passing the island. The negatives were developed onboard, examined by Navy officers, and released to the press at the personal direction of President Juscelino Kubitschek. The Brazilian Navy's investigation file was declassified in 2010 and made publicly available through the National Archives of Brazil.
