The image shows a glowing, perfectly formed spherical object, apparently dotted with yellow ‘landing lights’.
For years, people around the world have reported unidentified flying objects (UFOs) occasionally appearing in different parts of the world.
There are many photos of UFOs, but the authenticity of each photo is questionable: in some cases the refraction of light, optical effects or other completely natural factors are attributed. Now, however, it looks like everything could change.
Brazilian UFO researcher Edie Meireles has captured strange images of a perfectly spherical UFO, dotted with yellow ‘landing lights’. The photo has caused a stir among scientists, with some even suggesting that Meireles’ snapshot could be “the first UFO selfie in history.”
The photographer claims he saw a bright glow in the park while he was in his car. The man tried to start the engine, but nothing happened, after which he noticed a UFO above the roof of his car.
Meireles claims he left the car and started running, then stopped and took that very first selfie with a UFO. Strangely enough, his car was towed by a tractor the next day because all the electronics in it weren’t working.
It should be noted that the photo was taken in 2011 on a tourist route to a cold waterfall in the high-mountain Chapada Diamantina National Park in Brazil.
At the same time, the photographer himself claims that after he took the photo, “they started hunting him.” Two members of the UFO hunter group were reportedly killed and Meireles’ house was attacked by “people in black and camouflage.”
Despite the fact that some scientists are willing to believe in the reality of the world’s first selfie with a UFO, others are skeptical about the photo.
For example, some argue that the photo can actually depict anything from “sky lanterns” held aloft by the heated air of candles, to outright Photoshop.
UFO hunter Meireles himself claims that his photos are completely real. Furthermore, he claims that he subsequently returned to the national park for repeated, but less well-documented, UFO encounters.
According to the UFO hunter, he wrote down the results of his subsequent expeditions in his book, after which he was again subjected to “unwanted encounters with the military.”
Meireles claims that as a result of the interrogation he suffered four fractures to his left ribs and knee, as well as a perforation with bleeding in his left lung. As a result, the UFO hunter was admitted to a local hospital for twelve days.
Interestingly, some researchers believe that the ‘UFO selfie’ is in fact nothing more than a military encounter. Hélio Nunes de Camargo, the self-proclaimed founder of UFOs after Chapada, for example claims that Edi Meireles’ research group was ultimately disbanded precisely because of alleged ‘military intimidation’.
As a result, the opinions of UFO researchers are divided: some consider the “first selfie with a UFO in history” an outright lie, while others fully believe in the authenticity of the photos.
It is curious that the author of the photo, Edie Meireles, from time to time continues to post photos on social networks, but refuses to comment on them in any way.
