 For several months in 1977, the residents of Colares and the surrounding region were terrorized by a series of intense UAP sightings. The objects varied greatly in shape and size, from small, luminous orbs to massive, city-sized craft. Witnesses reported flying discs, spheres, triangles, and cylinders. These craft would often buzz small towns and villages at night, bathing the area in bright light.[^1]
 
-What distinguished the Colares events was the aggressive nature of the phenomena. Witnesses reported being chased by yellow orbs that would turn blue before firing a laser-like beam, causing burns and sometimes rendering the victim unconscious. These lights were known by the locals as "chupa-chupa," meaning "suck-suck," due to the belief that they were extracting blood from their victims. The beams were reported to be able to penetrate the tiled roofs of houses, intelligently searching for occupants inside. Some witnesses also claimed that larger craft attempted to abduct them using nets and hooks.[^1]

 ### The Investigation and Biological Effects
 
 The Brazilian Air Force launched an official investigation into the incidents, codenamed Operation Saucer (Operação Prato). A team of twenty investigators and physicians, led by Lieutenant Colonel Uyrange Hollanda, was dispatched to the region. The team interviewed hundreds of witnesses, treated the wounded, and documented the events with photographs and film footage, capturing images of mysterious objects, including one estimated to be three hundred feet long.[^1]
 
-Dr. Wellaide Cecim Carvalho, a physician treating the local population, documented the medical effects of the encounters. She treated approximately forty people with burns consistent with thermal or directed energy exposure. In twenty-three cases, she noted two puncture wounds at the center of the burns. Blood tests of the victims revealed low hemoglobin levels, lending credence to the "chupa-chupa" nickname. Other reported symptoms included chronic headaches, nausea, temporary blindness, and long-term illnesses. Tragically, ten people are reported to have died as a result of their encounters.[^1]

 Witnesses who claimed to have seen the occupants of the craft described two types of beings: tall, pale humanoids (often referred to as "Nordics") and small, frail beings with large heads (often referred to as "Grays").[^1]

 ### Drug and Cover-up Allegations
 
-Sinclair was said to have been receiving large daily doses of Demerol prescribed by [[Dr. Arthur Dahlem]], as nurses at Fremont Hospital and former deputies were said to have confirmed. Assistant U.S. Attorney [[James White]] in Fresno was said to have ordered Dahlem's files seized, and Judge [[Robert E. Coyle]] to have ordered him to drop the criminal investigation on the ground that no blood tests had been taken, although tests had been taken and later disappeared. The CHP report was said to have been sent to the office of Attorney General [[John Van de Kamp]], who told an assistant to "discard" it; Eckerson was said to have held stock in [[Music Corporation of America|MCA]], and the CHP officers on the original investigation and White himself to have resigned or been transferred or fired. Deputy [[Rod Cusic]] told the Fresno office of the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] that Sinclair had told him "to lie to a Grand Jury," and said he had seen a booby-trapped incendiary device explode at Sinclair's home; a 1984 civil trial was said to have heard that Sinclair's car carried automatic weapons and a booby-trapped bomb. Sinclair was later promoted to commander. A Secret Service agent, [[Ron Williams]], whose friend was killed, and a CBS executive asked [[Cheri Seymour]] to investigate, and [[Don Thrasher]] of ABC's *20/20* examined Sinclair's background. The case figured in the reporting of [[Jerry Goldberg]] for *Capitol News Service* and the work of [[D.I.G. (Decency in Government)|D.I.G.]][^1]
