An interesting case of plasma blob event was observed on August 27-28, 1987 over Cachoeira Paulista (22.7°S, 45.0°W; 13.25°S MLAT, declination 20°W) showing localized plasma density enhanced by a factor of, approximately, 2 above the background level. On this night, geomagnetic activity was moderately disturbed with Dst> -70 nT. An all-sky imager operating in the OI 630 nm emission was used to map the spatial extension and temporal location of plasma blob that showed, typically, east-west and north-south extensions of 320-350 km and 360-380km, respectively. The F-region parameters were obtained from a Digisonde 256, which provide a good idea of the ionospheric behavior during the event. In this paper, important features from this localized electron density enhancement in the low latitude region is presented and discussed.
