Weekly sightings fuel speculation
Residents say these strange lights have appeared weekly since 2024. “It’s silent—no plane noise. Maybe a drone, but it’s hard to tell,” another resident shared with CNN Brasil. The unpredictable movements and lack of sound spark theories, from extraterrestrial craft to advanced tech. A similar case in Curitiba, Brazil, reported a hovering UFO with pulsating lights, hinting at a pattern of odd sightings across Brazil.

Skeptical takes and scientific views
Could these be drones or atmospheric tricks? Experts often point to mundane explanations for UFOs, like weather phenomena or misidentified aircraft. Brazil’s National Archives noted 26 UFO reports in 2024, many in southern states like Rio Grande do Sul. NASA, now using “UAP” (unidentified anomalous phenomena), pushes for scientific analysis over alien assumptions, as seen in their studies of similar cases.
