Two separate shots of the spherical UFO. Image Credit: Edie Meireles / UFOs Bahai / Facebook News outlets this week have picked up on the case of Edie Meireles - a UFO researcher and author who in 2011 claimed to have photographed a spherical object in the sky over Brazil.

The images, which were later posted up by Meireles on social media, were snapped on a hiking trail on the way to a remote waterfall in Chapada Diamantina National Park.

In one image, the object - which appears dark in color but with several lights around its lower half - can be seen over Meireles' shoulder, while in another it can be seen on its own in the sky.

The case has even become associated with an alleged military presence in the area, with Meireles himself reportedly being threatened and even interrogated as a result of what he had witnessed.

During one incident that he recalled back in 2016, he claimed to have suffered multiple injuries - including fractured ribs and a perforated lung - that had seen him end up in hospital for almost two weeks.

"I was hospitalized for 12 days at the Chapada Regional Hospital, in Seabra-Ba, my medical history is there for anyone who wants to investigate," he said at the time.He is also credited with writing a Reddit post about one of his encounters with a UFO.

"I got out of the car and photographed," he wrote.

"It was an indescribable wonderful emotion to have photographed a UFO so clearly visible."

"About 40 minutes later, still on the road, my car turned off, I braked, I tried to turn the key and nothing, absolutely nothing. I saw a light on the hood and I looked up and there was a UFO standing on top of my car, I opened the door and ran. I even stopped to take a selfie with them."

"My car was towed by a tractor the next day, it burned all electrical parts."

As things stand, both Meireles' photographs and stories remain a topic of controversy and debate, with some believing that his encounters are genuine and others dismissing the whole thing as little more than a hoax.
