Ademar José Gevaerd
On 6 March 1982, spectators at a football match at the Morenão stadium in Campo Grande saw a cigar-shaped object with lights at each end flying overhead. At that time, Ademar José Gevaerd was teaching chemistry in Maringá, Paraná state. Convinced that the object was a flying saucer, and hearing of other sightings at the same time in São Paulo, Paraná, Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay, he decided to undertake a deeper study of UFOs. In 1985 he launched the magazine "Ufologia Nacional & Internacional", which ceased publication in 1986. In 1988 he started "UFO Magazine", still being published in 2014. In 1986 he left his teaching job to devote himself full-time to UFOs. The monthly UFO Magazine now has a circulation of 30,000. Gevaerd also runs the Brazilian Center for Flying Saucer Research, with 3,300 members. While attending a conference in Las Vegas in 1992, he personally experienced what may have been a UFO while driving in the Nevada Desert in the USA, near the Area 51 military base.
