PAPUDA RADAR/VISUAL LUMINOUS OVAL (1991 REPORT)

Bright oval luminous object reported over Papuda, Brasília, by civilian and military-police witnesses and reportedly tracked by CINDACTA radar. Visual oval morphology is kept distinct from a controller’s statement that the radar return appeared rectangular on screen.
