	Trindade and Martim Vaz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The islands of Trindade and Martim Vaz (also called Martin Vaz), which are located 715 km East of Vitória in the Southern Atlantic Ocean, belong to the Brazilian state of Espírito Santo.
		Trindade is a mountainous, dissected volcanic island with numerous phonolitic lava domes and steep-sided volcanic plugs.
		The Trindade and Martin Vaz Islands were discovered in 1502 by Portuguese navigators, and, along with Brazil, became part of the Portuguese ultramarine domain.

	The Trinidade Island Photographs, THE UFO CASEBOOK
		Trindade is a small, deserted, rocky island located in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean, between the Brazilian coast and the African continent, more than six hundred miles off the coast of Bahia.
		The UFO came toward the island at high speed, hovered briefly over a peak, disappeared behind it for a short time, and appeared again to move away toward the sea.

	COA :: Tales from Oceanic Islands
		The classical theory of island biogeography discusses how physical factors, such as the surface area of an island, its age, and its distance from the mainland interact to determine how quickly such an island will be colonized and how many species are likely to live there.
		In the case of this particular ocean, the islands and seamounts situated closer to the continent are usually older than those found in the open ocean, a consequence of the local direction of sea-floor spreading.
		Trindade Island has, in fact, recently been spared the threat of construction of a military base.

		The captain said that even though we couldn't surf the waves at Trindade, we were welcome to come along for the round trip to the island.
		The only material transported to the island by a smaller boat is cargo which is ferried to the island, and trash from the base which is taken back to the continent.
		We flew all around the island, and we were able to glance and be amazed at the different colors of the rocks and how the place can only be called a topographical disaster.

	Migrating Cretaceous-Eocene Magmatismin the Serra do Mar Alkaline Province,SE Brazil: Melts from the Deflected Trindade ...
		Trindade and Martin Vaz are built on oceanic crust >70 Ma in age; oceanic lithosphere of this age is ~120 km thick, with an ~90 km thick mechanical boundary layer (Parsons & McKenzie, 1978).
		Trindade is therefore a volcano that is similar in height to those of the Hawaiian islands, although steeper sided and therefore less voluminous, and it is built on lithosphere which is probably somewhat thicker than and drifting at a similar velocity to that beneath Hawaii (Müller et al.
		We suggest that, as the Trindade plume tail reached the thinner lithosphere of the continental margin, to the east of the São Francisco craton, it was able to decompress sufficiently to initiate substantial melting and thus to cut the southward flow of hot mantle towards the Serra do Mar igneous province.

		In view of the taxonomic uncertainty regarding the 'P. arminjoniana/heraldica' type petrel that occurs on Round Island, and in the absence of a specimen from North Keeling Island, it is therefore impossible to determine the true taxonomic affinity of the Pterodroma species recorded there by Stokes and Goh (1987).
		In Australia, the area of occupancy was estimated to be 1km² for the Round Island Petrel, and 2km² for the Herald Petrel.

	Trindade Island
		Trindade, a small rocky island in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean 600 miles off the coast of Bahia, Brazil, was the site of one of the most impressive photographic cases in UFO history.
		On the twenty-second Cmdr. Paulo Moreira da Silva of the Brazilian Navy's Hydrography and Navigation Service stated that the "object was not a meteorological balloon, for the one we had launched that day was released at 9 A.M., two [sic] hours before the appearance of the object in the sky....
		The Trindade object's speed and sprightly maneuvers were explainable, Menzel claimed, as an illusion created by the reflection of sunlight on the plane.

	History
		From observations made to date, it is certain that the island of Trindade is the main nesting ground for the green sea turtle, Chelonia mydas, in all of Brazil.
		The organic soils that had accumulated thru the forest development were suddenly submitted to grazing herds of goats, sheep and pigs and succumbed to a rapid degradation that left behind erosive gulleys up to 6 meters deep.
		In January 1895, relations with the English were affected by an incident caused by the British government's decision to occupy Trindade Island.

	The Trindade Island UFO Photos: A Study of Photos 1 and 2
		The Trindade Island pictures were recently selected as one of 19 UFO cases in a report sent to various high-ranking government officials.
		The ranges of the aircraft are included to provide an indication of whether the aircraft could reach the island from the nearest land point (the return journey to Trindade Island from the mainland is around 1300 statute miles — there is no landing strip on the island).
		This strengthens the possibility that the Trindade object was an aircraft, however for reasons I will explain later, the question of whether an aircraft could reach the island might well prove irrelevant to the case.

	Ocean Current and Wave Motion near Trindade Island
		For these reasons the Brazil Current vector in the Trindade region has become at least partly decoupled from the wind, and the net current at Trindade is some tens of degrees to the left of the expected Eckman transport due to the local wind.
		As the shoaling swell crests approach the island from the north their shallow-water portions are beginning to 'feel' the seabed, which slows them until the phase speed and group speed begin to equalise at the shoreward end.
		Thus swells near the island are turned preferentially inshore, carrying the local waves with them, and energy from the light SE breeze is added directly, just when the heights of the shoaling waves are increasing to offer a greater area to the wind.

	UFO over Trindade Island:
		While many photographs did not pass the test, the Trindade images did get the seal of approval because no evidence of fakery could be found.
		Probably the most interesting aspect of Menzel's arguments in his 1963 book, is that his questions surrounding the photographs and witnesses never were seriously answered by those defending the case.
		Scientific studies by my Trindade Research Project in the U.S., with help from many abroad, are still underway and will not be ready for publication until next year some time, at present estimates.

		Gevaerd --------------- The Controversial Trindade Island Incident Alexandre de Carvalho Borges The photographs of a UFO over Trindade Island, on January 16, 1958, are considered a landmark in Ufology worldwide and a very strong evidence of extraterrestrial life existence.
		Such fact is also criticized by the incident debunkers, but a current effort in order to obtain documents of that time which contain the names of all the witnesses - whether it was 48 or less - and an attempt to obtain their testimony would be sufficient to neutralize the skepticism.
		The second question recently raised on the Trindade Island incident is against the photographic evidence obtained by Bara=FAna, which is the key factor that led the incident to acquire worldwide fame.

	Classic UFOs, Trindade
		The photographer, Almiro Barauna, described as a member of the Icarai Club for Submarine Hunting, was the official photographer assigned to this unit because of his skill in underwater photography.
		Looking over charts of the island and determining the apparent locations the UFO appeared in during the sighting and photography, it was estimated that the object had been traveling around 600-700 miles an hour and its size was about 120 feet in diameter and about 24 feet high.
		It therefore appears to have been a deliberate distortion to make Barauna look like a trick photographer himself rather than the concerned and helpful consultant wishing to help clarify matters, which based on the evidence and testimony thus far accumulated, appears to be the true character of this person.
