Incredible pics of ‘first UFO selfie’ resurface showing glowing spherical craft with yellow ‘landing lights’
A BRAZILLIAN alien researcher has snapped what many believe is the first-ever UFO selfie.
The snap was taken by UFO researcher Edie Meireles shows a spherical UFO with yellow landing lights.
Eddie was on a hiking trail to La Cascada De La Purificacion, a waterfall in Brazil's Chapada Diamantina National Park when he took the selfie in 2011.
However, his snap has led to problems with the military. Since the sighting, Meireles said his home was raided by "soldiers camouflaged in black."
Despite the apparent military threat, Meireles boasted on Facebook in 2022 that his candid snaps were the only selfies with the spaceship.
He also spoke about his experience in his book Fieldworkers: Pesquisadores de Campo in 2016, which attracted further attention from the military.

Speaking to Museu da Pessoa, a Brazillian non-profit group, Meireles said: "The result of the interrogation was [...] Fractures: 4 left ribs and left knee [...] Perforation with bleeding in the left lung."
"I was hospitalised for 12 days at the Chapada Regional Hospital, in Seabra-Ba, my medical history is there for anyone who wants to investigate."
Chapada Diamantina National Park was established in September 1985 to protect a host of rare, endangered species native to these Atlantic Forest plateaus 3,000 feet above sea level.
It is home to a giant armadillo, a giant anteater, a Chaco eagle and potentially home to extraterrestrials.

Taking to social media platform Reddit where the image was posted, one user described his experience.
He said: "Holy F***, this is identical to what I saw right before Covid hit.
"The bottom rotated when it glowed red with an orange centre, and then it did a quick zig-zag and it was gone.
"I screamed laughed and cried. I had no idea what I just saw but I knew it wasn’t ours."
However, UFO sceptics believe the photo was photoshopped or a prop was used in the background to achieve the world-first snap.
One person said: "It's a pyrotechnic balloon (no people on it).
"This one is blurry due to low light, but features the Brazillian flag on it.
"You can also see fire on the bottom and the smoke coming from it."
The real threat of UFOs and aliens
FOR decades, UFOs and aliens were considered to be make belief things created by people in tinfoil hats but they are now considered a threat to national security.
Long gone are those who claim conspiracy theories are all false as many are now discussed at the highest levels of government with US officials even admitting their existence.
As more and more credible witnesses continue to come forward to tell their extraordinary stories publicly.
The 2010s saw decades of stigmas around extraterrestrial life start to break down as politicians made UFO sightings a matter of national security.
Across the world, governments have also unveiled some spooky truths with some even showcasing "dead alien corpses" on display for Congress.
Researchers recently verified the legitimacy of a set of three-fingered mummies as potential evidence of "non-human"; life forms.
A line-up of doctors confirmed at Mexico's Congress on Tuesday that the bodies, purportedly not of this Earth, were in fact real, once-living organisms.
The Pentagon also released a blockbuster 1,574 pages of real-life X-Files in 2022, related to its secretive UFO programme.
The haul includes reports into research on the biological effects of UFO sightings on humans, sets out categorisations for paranormal experiences, and studies into sci-fi-style tech.
Top UFO chief Sean Kirkpatrick told the world last year that he is set to step down from his job following his stern warning of concerning activity "in our backyard."
The Pentagon's UFO analysis office launched a UFO reporting service to the public after admitting to uncovering "some things" and calling the high number of suspicious activity either a foreign power or aliens.
Navy jet footage has revealed the intriguing images of a government-confirmed UFO baffling the internet.
The United States Government launched the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) in 2022 to investigate reports of unidentified flying objects (UFOs).
Meireles isn't the only one who believes that the truth is out there.
Luis "Lue" Elizondo, a long-time US Defence Department researcher, also claims to have handled "alien" technology.
The former head of the Pentagon program responsible for the investigation of UFOs has made bombshell claims in his new book "Imminent: Inside the Pentagon's Hunt for UFOs".
He claims to have been told categorically the infamous Roswell incident in New Mexico in 1947 involved two flying saucers – and “four deceased non-human bodies” were recovered from the wreckage and examined.
Speaking to, Elizondo said: "We know where they were. We don’t know where they are.
"I’ve got to be careful what I say here, to not get in trouble – I still have my security clearance."
He claims other bodies have also been retrieved from subsequent sites, including Mexico in the 1950s and Kazakhstan in 1989.

Elizondo alleges he has also handled "alien" technology, including "alleged alien implants found in humans."
He said: "I have held in my hand material that scientists for the US government have conducted research on, and they’ve said: 'This is very special material, it’s highly unlikely that it’s made by human beings – and it’s engineered."
