Aldo Rebelo

Aldo Rebelo is a Brazilian politician and former Minister of Defense. In February 2026 he became a notable voice in the international UAP-disclosure conversation by claiming knowledge of UFO material held in Brazil’s “military archives.”

UAP disclosure claim (Feb 2026)

In a social-media post reported by CNN Brazil and recapped by Revista Sociedade Militar, Rebelo stated that “as a former Minister of Defense” he knows what the Armed Forces keep on the subject and could make the material public — but conditioned any release on the United States first disclosing its own records. The statement coincided with Trump’s February 2026 directive that became PURSUE.

At the time, Rebelo was a 2026 presidential pre-candidate for the Christian Democracy party. Supporters read the post as a transparency pledge; critics saw it as leveraging a popular topic for political appeal.

Coverage notes that much of Brazil’s UFO documentation is already public via the National Archives, fed by the Air Force Command — suggesting Rebelo’s “hidden archives” framing overstates what remains secret.
