Glowing Mystery: The Story Behind the “First UFO Selfie”
The image shows a glowing, perfectly shaped spherical object, apparently dotted with yellow “landing lights.”
For many years, people around the world have reported unidentified flying objects (UFOs) that occasionally appear in different parts of the world.
There are many photos of UFOs , but the authenticity of each one is questionable: in some cases, refraction of light, optical effects or other completely natural factors are blamed. However, now it seems that everything may change.

Brazilian UFO researcher Edie Meireles has captured strange images of a perfectly spherical UFO dotted with yellow “landing lights.” The photo has caused quite a stir among scientists, with some even suggesting that Meireles’s snapshot may actually be “the first UFO selfie in history.”
The photographer claims that he noticed a bright glow in the park while he was in his car. The man tried to start the engine, but nothing happened, after which he noticed a UFO above the roof of his car.
Meireles claims that he left the car and started running, and then stopped and took that very “first-ever selfie with a UFO.” Curiously, the next day his car was towed by a tractor, since all the electronics in it did not work.

It should be noted that the photo was taken back in 2011 on a tourist trail to a cold waterfall in the high-mountain Chapada Diamantina National Park in Brazil.
At the same time, the photographer himself claims that after he took the photo, “they started hunting him.” Allegedly, two members of the UFO hunters’ group were killed, and Meireles’s house was attacked by “people in black and camouflage.”
However, despite the fact that some scientists are ready to believe in the reality of the “world’s first selfie with a UFO”, others are skeptical about the photo.
For example, some claim that the photo could actually depict anything: from “sky lanterns” that are held in the air by heated air from candles, to outright Photoshop.

UFO hunter Meireles himself claims that his photos are completely real. Moreover, he claims that he returned to the national park after that for repeated, but less well-documented, UFO encounters.
According to the UFO hunter, he wrote up the results of his subsequent expeditions in his book, after which he was again subjected to “unwanted encounters with the military.”
Meireles claims that as a result of the interrogation, he suffered four fractures to his left ribs and knee, as well as a perforation with bleeding in his left lung. As a result, the UFO hunter was hospitalized for 12 days at a local hospital.
Interestingly, some researchers believe that the “UFO selfie” is in fact nothing more than a military encounter. For example, Hélio Nunes de Camargo, the self-proclaimed founder of UFOs na Chapada, claims that Edi Meireles’ research group eventually disbanded precisely because of alleged “military harassment.”
As a result, the opinions of UFO researchers are divided: some consider the “first selfie with a UFO in history” to be an outright lie, while others fully believe in the authenticity of the photos.
It is curious that the author of the photo, Edie Meireles, continues to post photos on social networks from time to time, but refuses to comment on them in any way.
