He rescues vulnerable animals on his property, which has more than 200 animals, including dogs, cats, geese, horses, and turkeys.
As he takes care of these rescued animals, he shares his routine online. He recently went viral because a chick was born with a mark that looked like an eyebrow: G1 article.

The entire account was registered live as it occurred, and can be seen in a compilation on his Instagram profile, or in the YouTube link below;
Summary of events with direct links:
Soon after the story went viral on Monday, three traditional and reputable media outlets visited and interviewed him.
Example: https://g1.globo.com/pr/parana/noti...gistrou-luzes-e-relatou-ovnis-no-parana.ghtml
The obvious conclusion would be a Guerrilla marketing campaign for the new Spielberg movie, Disclosure Day:
The noise that we can hear in the footage is extremely similar to the one featured in the movie trailers; Mayk states that the sounds displayed are indeed similar, but 'different':
The noise that Mayk experienced and we can hear on video is very similar to the one witnessed by Whistleblower Colonel Uyrangê Hollanda, commander of arguably the best UFO case in Brazil, "Operation Saucer" (often referred to as the "Colares Case", or "Vampire Lights case"). The Colonel describes a noise "like a ratchet, a bicycle ratchet [...] a ratchet going backwards" - that description [ratchet] is also used by Mayk as he attempts to describe what he experienced.

Relevant excerpts regarding the sound of the objects are:

To me this suggests that the lights are coming from the mountain range that is behing the one that is closer to the camera.
I searched the area for the geographic location and found Mayk's home on Google Earth;

And indeed, Google earth suggests this is possible.
Looking at what lies there, we can see;

A Camping Site, a Sightseeing lookout, and an agricultural field. Several dirt roads connect these spots. They are 9.6km from Mayk's house. The farmer suggested that the UFO would be flying above the river, which is located around 650m from his house.

I looked at flight radar and nothig unusual was seen in terms of fighter jets. But we do see an Embraer Praetor 500 passing almost exactly above Mayk's location, at around 14:30 that afternoon of the 31st.

Next step: Calculate the length of the "UFO" / Lights based on this observed distance. [To do]

Summary of events with direct links:
- The animals became unusually startled, and Mayk went to check on them. He found several of the animals paying attention to an old structure near the border of his property. Fearing it might be a jaguar, he decided not to approach it. He heard a motorcycle, and presumed it was a man getting fruit from the local trees: Animals Startled
- Mayk had the perception that there was an unusual number of contrails in the sky, some coming from what he assumed to be Fighter Jets: Jet Contrails
- As Mayk was repairing an electric fence, he started hearing strange noises: Noise 1 and Noise 2. In these and the night stories, he describes the sound as:
- At Sundown, he saw a strange formation of lights near the mountain ranges and treetops: UFO Story.
- After some time, Mayk could no longer identify the object because it "went dark." However, after a few minutes, he saw the UFO lift out of the river's waters and fly over his house: Fly-over story. He described the object:
- Here, he states that he managed to film the object apparently "leaving" and moving away: Leaving Blinking Star story.
- After the whole episode, he drew what he saw: Drawing story.
Soon after the story went viral on Monday, three traditional and reputable media outlets visited and interviewed him.
