Beginning on October 4, reports of mysterious lights spotted by commercial pilots in the skies over Porto Alegre and Santa Catarina have attracted the attention of oats interested in UFOs. Ufologist and electronics engineer Roni Vernet explained in his social networks his theory about their origin in the sky of the south of the country.

For Ron, this fact may have an explanation. Based on calculations and using the Stellarium planetarium sky viewing software, the researcher was able to identify similar parameters for the position of the lights when passing the Starlink satellites, a satellite constellation development project by the American company SpaceX, from billionaire Elon Musk.

After simulations in Stellarium, I confirm that most lights are compatible with Starlink passes. Information coming soon.

Through his YouTube channel, the researcher simulated the visibility of the satellites in July and showed that during this period, the visibility of the satellite constellation becomes increasingly difficult as the day gets darker. However, starting from October, viewing hours of objects increase. He even predicted, based on simulations, that sightings of these moons could occur before December and January.

Regarding the light intensity of this phenomenon, Roni explained that “the new Starlink version 1.5 satellites do not have shields to prevent reflections, so they have a very high brightness.”

“The old Starlink satellites launched before 2021 were magnitude 6 because they had a shield. On the other hand, the novae are magnitude 2 or 3. And I think that in Brazil we are seeing even negative magnitude due to the fireballs in the sky. That is, forget everything you have ever observed about satellites before. We are facing a new scenario,” he added.

When asked by netizens about other evidence videos in which pilots see unidentified objects with unusual behavior, the researcher replied that “most of the ones I saw were satellites, but there are others that have a pattern that seems different.” “.

In his closing remarks, Ron commented on reports of green light objects performing unusual maneuvers. According to him, these testimonies “may indeed be connected with UFO phenomena and require a deeper analysis.”

Mystery lights in RS and SC

Pilots from Latam and Azul airlines told air traffic controllers they saw lights in the sky over Porto Alegre, the state capital of Rio Grande do Sul. Records were made on the night of Friday (4) to Saturday (5) at Salgado Filho Airport. Moving lights were recorded by about seven pilots in the area between Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul.

The dialogue between pilots and airport staff was recorded using a security camera at Salgado Filho Airport. At the time of the appearance of the lights, there were no other aircraft in the area, as reported by the control tower. The hypothesis is that the light signals come from UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects).

On Tuesday evening (8), pilots filmed lights in the sky near Santa Catarina. Dialogue between crew members shows surprise, with the professionals unable to identify the objects seen. They only mention “light”, which appears and disappears several times.
