The report, as filed
Hello... Firstly, I "discovered" Coast to Coast AM 2 years ago or so by total accident, as I had no idea it even existed, and I'm very glad that this is an excellent alternative to the worldwide "status quo self and government-serving" mainstream media... Anyhow, on January 10th, although still daylight here, around 730 pm Sao Paulo time, 430 pm Miami time, I was in the ocean for my daily dive... The sky was 90% clear but with a very thin patch of cloud directly in front of where I was swimming, around 20 km away and 3,000 meters high or so judging from an island that is located 18 km offshore directly in front of where I normally swim... The town is called Itanhaem, in southeast Sao Paulo State Brazil... While in the water I looked up towards that cloud and I saw a semi-circular distinctly white object moving very slowly northeast from the clear sky part towards the cloud... The object was definitely not a plane or helicopter or weather balloon, or some drone type object, and it obviously it was way too low to be a satellite... When this whitish object reached the inside of that thin cloud it actually stopped moving completely, but it was still clearly visible... I stayed watching it for a few minutes... However, when I looked away for just a few seconds to avoid a bigger wave from hitting my face, I then looked up again at the object and it was gone... I looked around 360 degrees for a couple of minutes to try to spot it again somewhere, but it had vanished completely... No trace, no trail of smoke or any other sign that it took off suddenly, nothing!... I have no idea what that object could have been, and how it could have vanished like a light switch being turned off!... I just thought that this was worth mentioning to your program on sky phenomenon people call in to report... Thank you for your attention... Itanhaem SP Brazil
