          Abstract

          O objetivo do artigo é discutir as conjecturas e especulações em torno de dois episódios ocorridos no Brasil no final da década de 1950. O primeiro deles foi uma explosão ocorrida nos céus de uma cidade do interior do Ceará, em julho de 1958, e o segundo a Operação "Argus", conduzida pelo Departamento de Defesa estadunidense, entre agosto e setembro do mesmo ano. As apropriações feitas pelos sujeitos históricos de um e de outro episódio os levaram a associá-los a um possível teste atômico realizado clandestinamente no Nordeste brasileiro.

          L'objectif de cet article est d'investiguer les conjectures et les spéculations sur deux épisodes survenus au Brésil à la fin des années 1950. Le premier était une explosion survenue dans le ciel d'une petite ville de l'État du Ceará en juillet 1958. Le deuxième, l'opération "Argus"conduite par le Département de Défense des États-Unis entre les mois d'août et septembre de la même année. Les appropriations réalisées par les sujets historiques des deux épisodes ont mené à conclure à l'exécution d'un test atomique clandestin dans le Nord-Est du Brésil.

          Translated abstract

          The aim of this article is to discuss the speculations and conjectures involving two events that happened in Brazil in the end of the 1950's. The first one was an explosion in the skies of a city in the State of Ceará's hinterland in July of 1958. The second is the Operation Argus, conducted by the US Department of Defense, between August and September of 1958. These events were appropriated in such a way by their historical subjects that they were associated with a possible clandestine atomic test in the Northeastern part of Brazil.
