I just remembered reading and watching videos about this incident when it happened last year and I was curious if there was indeed a ufo crash or just a made up story but I can't seem to find any information on this beside the articles from last year when it actually happened. Does anyone have an update on this? Did it just got forgotten?

Magé: Magé county (Maps county location ) has a population of around 245k and it's very close do Rio de Janeiro's capital (50km apart) and there are 5 rivers in the area: Roncador, Inhomirim, Suruí, Magé-mirim, Saracuruna. The UFO: Witnesses reported a "bus-size lid pan shape" object flying, others saw a red light flying fast in the early hours of May 12th 2020. Crash site: Residents said the UFO was going fast and straight towards the mountains (Maps screenshot) around Raiz da Serra (Maps location link) when it suddenly moved downwards crashing somewhere in the forest. Lots of people stated that it crashed near the territory of IMBEL (Indústria de Material Bélico do Brasil = Brazilian Military Material Industry) which from that day on LOTS of gun shots and explosions have been heard from there which is very unusual, some said it's the anniversary of IMBEL which is not true as the official opening date was on July 14th 1975 which is still two months away from it.

A woman was there at the entrance of IMBEL and saw people (maybe workers) from IMBEL leaving the place and asked them about the UFO event, one of them nodded his head saying "yes" Also this guy said there were 4 helicopters chasing a red light in the sky.

Everyone needs answers:

This guy took his motorcycle and went around asking everyone about the UFO event and crash site but most said about IMBEL

A YouTuber did the same as well but he went further to the entrance of IMBEL's gates, the securities said they know nothing about it but told them a guy might have an answer for them. The guy didn't show up Some people said there were some power cut and cellphone towers going dark for a short period of time there.

[This woman went on a livestream with her husband on a motorcycle on Facebook yesterday, and a lady witnessed a 6:30AM a "huge fast light" and multiple helicopters going by after. Also the last guy by the end of the video was interviewed by a national broadcast

I think a lot of people are confused in this matter. So that´s why I'm making this post, to clear things out for the people who can´t really understand what happened here.

Notice: We still don´t if it´s true or not that a UFO crashed here. We don´t have enough evidence to support either sides! So let´s stay unbiased and analyze everything

1. Events of that night

It was just another night until people started seeing strange lights in the sky, UFO's. Some of them changed colors and moved in weird ways. After some time, people thought something has crashed in the other side of the mountain since a huge light started shining there. Here you can see a couple of videos which supposed was filmed there:

Lights 01

Lights 02

In the second video, you can see a huge light shining in the other side of the mountain. Apparently people were saying it was the moment the object crashed. Some user in the comments, as you can see here, said it looks like some explosion of a eletrical transformer but the same guy who posted the video replied saying it´s impossible to have that kind of light there since it´s just woods and the town is in the countryside. There´s also other locals that said they saw the same lights, but we are going to get there soon.

2. Events later that day

This is when it gets confusing. A lot of memes and fake news running around, and the real information mixed up in this mess. Locals were saying helicopters were flying around the area, one "UFO expert" said he has a witness who saw four helicopters chasing the object, strange behavior on FlightRadar app showing military helicopters in the area and a cargo plane also flying in the area, you can see here:

Ufo's or satellite? What do you think?

[thread with videos] (https://twitter.com/NatanielyS2/status/1260530953845444609?s=19)

In a nutshell Translation:

The jornalist is in front of the Intel Fabric, researching about the UFO sighting. Nobody talked with him, and he is with the Ufologist Arthur Sérgio Neto, that is also waiting there.

Sérgio Neto says that he is part of a Ufologist Group, called Vigília na Serra (Wake in the mountain range), and they went to remove doubts about the supposed crash of something. If something really crashed, it crashed near this company, that is a company of army war material, and they went there to clear all doubts.

He thinks that should be in the interest of the army itself clear all doubts.

He says that is in a information gathering phase, but already give a interview to a witness (I think this is the recording of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mktq2-_5Dnc already discussed in another thread)

The testimony said about helicopters chasing the object and the object got down in the direction of this facility.

He said that there is still very little to say anything. But the area, because of the mountains and the geography, have characteristics of a UFO Phenomenon rich place.

So he concludes that there is a possibility that something really happened. Besides all desinformation and rumors.

The journalist about the official notes, the city hall said that they were not officially notified and don't know anything about the incident, also because of COVID-19 no one should leave their houses to not disseminate the disease.

FIRST INVESTIGATIONS

This happened near the city of Mage, near Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. The object reportedly went down near a military ammunitions and explosives factory, called IMBEL
More and more testimony points to a second site, at location B.

IMBEL celebrated its 212th anniversary on May 12th 2020 (Source: Homenagem da IMBEL ao 212o aniversário de criação da Fábrica da Estrela (FE)). To be honest, this would be a good time to showcase some new weapon or tech, or maybe just some fireworks or whatever, which could maybe explain some of the things people were seeing and hearing. On the other hand, the few people I’ve talked to have told me there were no celebrations, helicopters, explosions or gunshots in other years.

At night people in the area are awakened by airplane/helicopter noise. They see and films moving lights in the sky. One witness describes a reddish object being circled by first 2, and later 4 helicopters. Some of the videos do indeed show 3 to 5 lights in the sky:

Uma mulher foi brutalmente agredida com tapas, murros e chutes por uma suposta cabo eleitoral de cum candidato a vereador. O fato teria ocorrido no município de Magé, no Rio de Janeiro.

A agressora, que chegou em um veículo modelo Corsa, de placas LOD-2F16, chamou a vítima para uma conversa e quando ela se aproximou, foi empurrada contra o carro e, aos gritos a agressora falava:

Agressora: "encosta aí... você votou no Cleiton?"

Vítima: "eu não votei nada"

Agressora: "olha aí... a voz é tua..."

A few weeks back on the 13th of May 2020 in a small town in Rio de Janeiro called Magé. Thousands of people were woken up by sounds coming from the sky.

People started taking videos of this event and started posting them on social media. Some were re-posted because they magically keep disappearing.

Hello guys. just like you, i am also looking for more information about the ufo of magé. I'm from Brazil and I've been researching everything I can about this since the dawn of the May 14th and I can say: something happened!

So I decided to bring this video about the UFO of Magé!

https://youtu.be/F6zjFtTaNAc

in it a group of independent ufologists from Brazil visit the incident site and interview residents and even the person responsible for the communication of the factory where it happened (IMBEL). the interview is at 16:35 where she is clearly nervous and just denying everything that happened (even with several residents reporting unusual explosions in that region between dawn on the 12th and the 13th. The ufologists report that when they returned from the city "there was a that something happened there ".

I'm not very good at English, but if you want me to translate some part of this video, just ask me!

We need to know the truth!
