Notes

SRC-V99-051, Pratt letter item 05. Chunk M search (2026-11-12): No file on this site mentions Colares, Carvalho, Uchoa or Pratt's tallies. Carvalho's only other published statement found is a 2005 interview in Revista UFO (Carlos Mendes; English reprint at ufology.patrickgross.org/htm/colareswc.htm): it describes light-beam symptoms and says the military made her understate them, but gives no burn or death count. No medical records found online. The one I COMAR register read in chunk G (archive item ARX 184: 130 forms, Sep 1977 to Nov 1978) records no deaths and few injuries, which cuts against the death counts. Uchoa's dinner remark has no record outside Imminent. Flag stays.
