AJ. Gevaerd is also de founder and director of the Brazilian Centre for Flying Saucer Research (CBPDV), the largest organization in South America, with over 3,600 members and linked to the Brazilian Exopolitics Institute (IBEXO).

Operation Saucer was conducted by Brazilian Air Force in the Amazon, in 1977, to secretly research and collate UFOs observed in the Colares region. It is now known worldwidely through A. J. Gevaerd’s efforts and lectures.
