Operacao Prato document index preserves references to Brazilian archive files

The research index organizes document references associated with the Brazilian Air Force inquiry into reports around Colares in 1977.

The page is a specialist access index rather than the original government repository. It points readers toward records, photographs, sketches and document identifiers associated with Operacao Prato.

It helps distinguish the documented military inquiry from later folklore by giving the Colares dossier a traceable archival trail.

An archive index confirms that documents exist and can be traced; it does not authenticate every later claim or identify the reported lights.
