The account
Correio Braziliense reported it on 1 December 1960, and the paper later called it the first UFO report in the new capital's history. Two more sightings were reported later that month.
The sceptical view
The only source is newspaper coverage. A bright planet, a bolide or an aircraft fits the description.
