Santa Maria, Brasilia - Federal District, Brazil
06/2005

O ano era 2006, entre os meses de maio e junho. Eu era militar da Marinha do Brasil e na época, estava em período de formação militar na Organização Militar (OM) CIAB (Centro de Instrução e Adestramento de Brasília). Lembro-me de estar em serviço de pernoite nesta OM, num dia de sábado para domingo. Nesse dia, o serviço do qual fui incumbido era de guarita, numa localidade da OM conhecida como Posto Sul. O serviço era armado (FAL 7,62mm). Com 2h de posto e 4h de descanso. O Posto Sul era uma guarita que ficava numa das extremidades mais isoladas da OM. Essa guarita tinha 3 andares, onde no andar do topo, havia um holofote. Que deveria ser aceso de 30 em 30min nos períodos noturnos. No andar do meio, havia um interfone para comunicação com a Sala de Estado (onde ficava o Sargento responsável por toda a equipe de serviço). O interfone também deveria ser acionado de 30 em 30min. Entre 03h e 04h da madrugada de domingo, eu estava no Posto Sul, escuro, frio, cheio de mosquitos e morcegos. Porém, eu estava bem agasalhado e a farda me protegia bem contra o frio e insetos. O fuzil estava em minhas costas, preso pela bandoleira. Em uma das vezes em que precisei acionar o holofote do topo da guarita, por volta de 03-03h30 da madrugada, visualizei vários pontos de luz, distantes, no céu. Dispostos como se fossem fogos de artifício, porém não eram fogos. Pois as luzes ficavam fixas no céu, surgiram do nada e ficavam mudando de cor. Além de eu não ter escutado nenhum barulho, a localidade onde as luzes estavam, era muito erma. A cidade mais próxima na direção das luzes no céu, não era vista num raio superior a 50 km. Então concluí que aquelas luzes eram algo bizarro e desconhecido. As luzes começaram azuladas, depois ficaram verdes, vermelhas e estavam fixas no céu. Eu fiquei paralisado olhando tudo aquilo, com o fuzil nas costas. O estranho fenômeno das luzes foi parando aos poucos, até sumir de vez no céu. Acendi o holofote conforme procedimento, desliguei e acionei o interfone. Sem relatar a respeito das luzes que vi mais cedo. Em seguida, peguei o celular e liguei para a minha casa. Meu pai atendeu e falei a ele que tinha visto algo muito bizarro e que contaria a ele quando chegasse em casa. E este foi o relato sobre o incidente mais bizarro de minha vida. Translation: The year was 2006, between the months of May and June. I was a soldier in the Brazilian Navy and at the time, I was undergoing military training at the Military Organization (OM) CIAB (Brasília Instruction and Training Center). I remember being on overnight duty at this OM, on a Saturday to Sunday day. On that day, the service I was assigned to was guarding, in a location in the OM known as Posto Sul. The service was armed (FAL 7.62mm). With 2 hours on duty and 4 hours off. The South Post was a guardhouse located at one of the most isolated ends of the OM. This guardhouse had 3 floors, where on the top floor there was a searchlight. It should be lit every 30 minutes at night. On the middle floor, there was an intercom for communication with the State Room (where the Sergeant responsible for the entire service team was located). The intercom should also be activated every 30 minutes. Between 3am and 4am on Sunday morning, I was at Posto Sul, dark, cold, full of mosquitoes and bats. However, I was well dressed and the uniform protected me well against the cold and insects. The rifle was on my back, held by the shoulder strap. One of the times I needed to activate the searchlight at the top of the guardhouse, around 3-3:30 am, I saw several points of light, far away, in the sky. Arranged as if they were fireworks, but they weren't fireworks. Because the lights were fixed in the sky, they appeared out of nowhere and kept changing color. In addition to not having heard any noise, the location where the lights were was very deserted. The closest city in the direction of the lights in the sky was not visible within a radius of more than 50 km. So I concluded that those lights were something bizarre and unknown. The lights started out blue, then turned green, red and were fixed in the sky. I was paralyzed looking at all that, with the rifle on my back. The strange phenomenon of lights gradually stopped, until it disappeared once and for all in the sky. I turned on the spotlight as per procedure, turned it off and activated the intercom. Without reporting about the lights I saw earlier. Then I picked up my cell phone and called my house. My father answered and I told him that I had seen something very bizarre and that I would tell him when I got home. And this was the account of the most bizarre incident of my life.

Spooky things happen every day all around us! Instead of brushing these peculiar moments and bizarre encounters off as chance, or mere coincidence, what if we talked about them, mapped them, and tried to decode the message?

Is there a specific place where you've seen fairies, ghosts, bigfoot, time travelers, extraterrestrials, ultraterrestrials, crow conferences, sentient lawn computers, lanyard'd ogres, broccoli wizards, etc.? Does your town have an urban legend you'd love to get to the bottom of?
