Ominous images of a perfectly spherical UFO, seemingly dotted with yellow ‘landing lights,’ have left some researchers certain one is ‘the first selfie with a UFO in history.’
Taken by Brazilian UFO researcher and author Edie Meireles in 2011, the snaps show the apparent craft above a hiking trail to ‘La cascada de la purificación,’ a chilly waterfall in Brazil’s high-altitude Chapada Diamantina National Park.

In a recent, March 2022 post to the group UFOs Bahai on Facebook, Meireles boasted that his candid snap was ‘the only selfie with a flying saucer.’ Above, a second and less clear ‘UFO selfie’ from Meireles’ alleged encounter with a flying orb in Chapada Diamantina national park
What followed, at least, according to one of Meireles’ UFO-hunting peers, was years of ‘threats and intrigues’ — with two members of their group ‘killed by the military’ and three more ‘abducted.’ Above, another photo from Meireles’ 2011 UFO encounter
Fact or fiction, his story has a fitting setting in Brazil’s Chapada Diamantina National Park, established in September 1985 to protect a host of rare, endangered species native to these Atlantic Forest plateaus 3,000 feet about sea level.
Brazil’s giant armadillo (Priodontes maximus), its giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) and Chaco eagle (Buteogallus coronatus) are all protected species that call the park home.
