My intention with this article is to try to make a thorough presentation of the case with all vital information available from researchers in USA and Brazil to this date. For help I have two of the researchers that went down to Brazil and Varginha to get first hand information from ‘Local researchers – Stanton T. Friedman and John Carpenter.
And then I have all the reports from a number of Brazilian investigators, along with articles -in UFO magazines and daily news media. I also like to thank Paulo H Andrade and Ricardo Varrela Correa for double checking my information. As I hope you understand – I can’t personally speak for the veracity of all this
information as I have only gathered what the local researchers have presented. But as Bob Marley sang “time will tell“.
As the investigation still is ongoing the names of “delicate” witnesses is withheld to protect their families and most of all themselves. To this category I place military and hospital staff, and some authority-personnel. I’m sure they will be presented in the near future. I must mark that the witnesses names is NOT withheld by ME, but by the local researchers.
Varginha, is a city of 120,000 people is located in Brazil’s Minas Gerais state and the main incident happened in the northern part of the city between January 20-22, 1996. But let’s not get ahead. There is an incident prior to the main event.
NORAD warning of a UFO going down
Around midnight between January 19-20 NORAD (North American Air Defense Command) contacts their Brazilian alike CINDACTA (I Centro INtegrado de Defesa Aerea e Contral.e de Trafego Aereo or Integrated Center on Air Defense and Air Traffic Control ) and warns them of a UFO coming down over southern parts of Minas Gerais state. This is witnessed and leaked by both an Brazilian Air Force man and an employee at the radar facility at Air Force Base VI Comar, who received the information, all this to John Carpenter and Ricardo Varela Correa.
On January 20, after midnight, at aprox. 1:30 AM the farm workers-couple Augusta and Eurico Rodrigues were wakened by the roams of the farm-cows and sheep. As they looked out the window to see what was up they saw the animals running from one side to the other. As they looked up in the sky the saw a silent UFO without lights. John Carpenter gives us an image of the UFO:
“It was a submarine-shaped “mini-bus” that was trembling like a curtain and emitting smoke or fog as it descended to at least 5 meters above the ground. A military witness now admits that it crashed and he was part of the debris retrieval. Material was twisted and lightweight. (source: A J Gevaerd in my video)”
The Rodrigues couples farm is placed in a coffee district located 10 kilometers (6 miles) northwest from the town of Varginha, midway between Varginha and Tres Coracoes. The house sits at the edge of the road. And the UFO is believed to have crashed between 1:30 AM and 5:00 AM, that night. An American civilian was present when the cigar-shaped UFO was loaded aboard a flatbed truck in the early morning of January 20 – a Saturday, according to Brazil’s UFO Magazine. between the alleged crash site and the outskirts of park jardim Andere, where the EBE later was first spotted and captured, lies a forest. A probable scenario is that a number of EBE’s outlived the crash and went by foot through the woods and ended up in the park of jardim Andere 6 miles southeast. Local people immediately associated this spaceship with the EBE’s which appeared hours later. There has also surfaced statements by a military source that a farmer (not Rodrigues) shot one of the EBE’s that crawled out of the crashed cigar-shaped UFO.
First EBE caught in city park
According to John Carpenter – this is his description of the park:
“jardim Andere is a district or suburban neighborhood where some houses are under construction. There is a grassy slope toward some woods between this district and the Santana district nearby.”
8:00 AM College student Hiido Tucio Gaidino, 20, who lives in the Jardim Andere section of Varginha, has reportedly told UFO investigators Ub-‘Lralara Franco Rodrigues and Vitorio Pacacc-Lni that he saw one of the alien survivors shortly after 8 a.m. that morning. opening his bathroom window, Hildo looked out and saw “a creature with oily dark brown skin crouched in the alleyway.” The alien, which H-J..’Ldo described as having very small hands with three extremely long fingers, kind of like a starfish,” ran away when Hildo cried out. The creature had no hair and no clothing and was 4-5 feet in height. Several calls came to the f ire department (as early as 7:00 AM) about some wild animal on the loose in the northern city-park Jardim Andere, like a jaguar or a peccary. And in a confidential taped interview a sergeant of the fire station confirms that at 9:00 All the Fire Department of Varginha was required to capture a strange animal in the area. When four firemen arrived in a fire engine, they noticed that it was not a strange animal at all, and they also found the military already on the spot. The man in charge who send the four firemen to Jardim Andere to check the situation was Major Maciel. These firemen, at the moment they arrived there, called the Major thru radio and asked him to go there too as the situation was more complicated than they thought. The Major arrived aprox. 10:30 a.m. but by then the capture of the EBE was already done. it was done with a net for wild animals and they used common gloves, but were afraid of radiation. According to witnesses on spot there were some people, including children who threw some stones at the EBE, who appeared apathetic to the way he was treated. He only made a noise similar to bees buzzing. The address of where the EBE was captured is in front of the house at Rua Suecia 3, Jardim Andere. The EBE was then placed in a wooden box with a white plastic canvas-cover, stretched hard to really make insight impossible, and transported away by a army truck. The military and firemen on the site were: Lieutenant Colonel Olimpio Wanderley (Chief of operations) Lieutenant Tiberio Captain Ramirez Sergeant Pedrosa (Brazilian Army secret service S-2)
Truck drivers from the ESA (military school, 25 kilometers from Varginha in ‘the town of Tres Coracoes)
Corporal Cirilo Soldier Vassalo Soldier De Mello
And also the chief of the first operation of capture – MAJOR MACIEL.
All this is backed by a witness on the inside of the fire department with access to classified information. Also by civilian witnesses like Henrique Jose da Silva.
Jardim Andere (2 kilometers from the town center) Lilliane Fatima looked over her left side and screamed. A creature with three protuberances on the head and dark greasy skin was about 7 meters away next to a wall of an old garage. The creature was squatting on the ground like it was hurt. This is from the Brazilian magazine Isto E:
“it was squatting, with the long arms between its legs”, recalls the girl. “At first I saw the eyes, enormous and red.” Frightened, Liliane turned her back to the creature, while her sister Valquiria and her friend Katia continued to observe. “It was not animal or human, it was a horrible thing”, says Katia. “It looked dumb, didn’t make any noise”, adds Valquiria. The creature, however, appeared to move slightly with the head and the three girls run away.”
Forty minutes later, the mother of I,illiane and Valquiria, Luiza Helana Silva (38), went to the spot to look for what had frightened her daughters (her husband Jose Lopes da Silva was at work as a bus conductor). She found nothing except a peculiar smell which other witnesses, who heard the rumor and hurried to the spot where the EBE was seen, described as ammonia. The same smell was later reported independently by personnel at the General Hospital where the alien was brought on the evening of January 2Oth.
Harvard professor and abduction researcher Dr. John Mack went down at the end May and made a recorded interview with the three girls. To Carpenter, Mack has said:
“He would stake his career and his license on those three girls being truthful”
During the afternoon people are watching a number of army trucks on patrol in the city and around 7:00-8:00 PM the military from the Escola de Sargentos, along with officers from the military police service (called P-2) once again entered the park (according to John Carpenter it happened at 11:00 PM) and captured an injured EBE (I haven’t found any testimonies from witnesses to this capture). This capture was much more discreet that the first (10:30 AM), because the military arrived in plain clothes, using civilian cars. The creature was in the area, near the woods, where the military surrounded it and caught it.
EBE taken to Regional Hospital
The EBE was immediately taken to the General Hospital in the town center where
the doctor ordered that the creature must be moved on to
the bigger and better equipped Humanities hospital, where
it was easier to maintain and hide from curious
civilians. The Humanities hospital is also located 1,5
kilometers from the town center (Varginha has 3 hospitals
in all). A few nurses and personnel from Regional General
Hospital had confirmed some facts and they were all
suppressed. Individuals who had contacts with the second
creature were advised to avoid press and UFO researchers
and not to talk about it with anyone, not even their
families or relations. Researcher Ubirajara Franco
Rodrigues came in
contact with one of the nurses who was reluctant at first
to talk about the commotion at the Regional Hospital but
later revealed that one of the hospital-sections was
closed for some hours in order to avoid access of employees, patients and visitors and that physicians came
in from another town than Varginha. According to her
testimony, the director said that all that movement
should be ignored, because “it was just a training
for the doctors and military personal.” According to
the witness (a nurse) the meeting culminated with the
following statement from the director:
“Here in Varginha there is people who likes to deal with “cool things”, I mean, supernatural, strange … It is probable that these people will look for you, specially that lawyer Ubirajara.
TO THESE PEOPLE YOU MUST DENY EVERYTHING. I mean, do deny.”
Police and army personnel were guarding the closed hospital section during the hours where the EBE was. But a number of civilians saw the creature closely and the rumor continued.
Another witness, a friend of Ubirajara himself, revealed that she had been in the hospital entrance at 10:30 PM, together with a friend of hers. She asked the receptionist if it was true what the rumors said about the “little monster” received at the hospital. The employee confirmed, but also said that the creature had been moved to the Humanities hospital. This is said to have happened around midnight between January 20, Saturday, and Sunday 22. So the nurse probably didn’t know that the creature was still in the hospital waiting to be transported, but in the closed section. The transport was operated by the fire brigade. Captain Alvarenga of the fire-brigade denies any participation from the fire brigades part to have moved the – now dead – EBE to Humanities hospital. But right before he denied that Ubirajara had been in contact with the Regional Hospital director Mr Adilson Usier, who confirmed that the Varginha Fire department had participated in the corpse transport. Captain Alveranga then said it was a mistake of Mr. Usier. Later Mr. Usier denies the statement himself to the Brazilian UFO Magazine, saying:
“We couldn’t keep an extraterrestrial here, we couldn’t deal with it, nothing but humans.” In the hospital the aliens would be treated by doctor Rogeric (an orthopedist). He said:
“I don’t know how you could waste your time with that kind of stuff, it’s nonsense. There’s no extraterrestrials”. On the other hand the same doctor Rogerio said to a reporter from the Varginha news: “I don’t know what -it is (the ET), could be a freak (human), but I have never seen anything like it”
Three shots
At the same time as the firemen captured the first seen EBE, more witnesses observed strange movements. A lawyer in Varginha and former military witnessed two planes that he recognized as F-50s , at very low altitude. As a former military man he noticed the planes were not in natural formation but in attack formation. He also witnessed army vehicles near the woods (close to where the firemen captured the EBE) He was passing there and saw a truck carrying about seven soldiers in green campaign uniforms (camouflaged) and some in plain clothes. There are even more witnesses to their activity.
A friend of this witness was in another position and said that he heard three shots and that the soldiers came back from the woods with two campaign sacks, one motionless and one moving. Another source has come forward and revealed that one of the soldiers shot one EBE three times in the chest and the creature died instantaneously. The gun would be a FAL-type (FAL – Fuzil de Artilharia Leve, or Light Artillery Rifle). The details around this are still being investigated by researcher Claudeir Covo. The military and fire department operation was held very quiet and smooth, and both fire brigade and military did withdraw around 10:30-11:00 AM, along with the second military operation (Which fired three shots) . The net-caught EBE is said to have been moved directly to the Escola de Sargento das Armas (EAS) – a military school in the town of Tres Coracoes, 25 Kilometers from Varginha. The next following days a summarized number of 6 living EBE’s and two dead were locked up at the ESA-base. Some curious civilians combed the park as the military/S2 personnel had left in their trucks, but found nothing. There is all the information of a later S-2 (Brazilian Army Secret Service) operation at approx. 7:00-8:00 PM on January 20, when a number of EBE’s were caught in the park.
A total sum of 8 EBE’s :
1 dead
2 injured (1 later dead)
5 unhurt and living.
The lawyer who made the observation around 10:30 AM above said that he noticed another search team arriving at 1:30 PM stopping at the opposite side of an earthwork shortcut, as he was leaving his office. Another witness spoke of an S-2 Search Team in civilian clothes (Haven’t been able to find out how they were identified as S-2 men) around 1:30-2:30 PM in the same area. These two reports are probably of the same operation. They are believed to have found nothing.
As all this was going on, two Americans were reported to have checked into a motel close by to the Regional Hospital with strange equipment. They were later observed both at the Humanities hospital (with the equipment and a camcorder) and at the restaurant Churrascaria Gaucha, Avenida Dr. Campos Sales 515 in Campinas late in the evening of January 21. John Carpenter says:
Americans were known
to have checked into a hotel with fake names who were
apparently doctors. I know nothing about any
equipment or their presence at the hospital. All
other military personnel were forbidden to have their
jackets on (!) and to use voice recorders, cameras
and camcorders. Fire department and military police
vehicles were seen outside the entrance with six men,
as well as two men from the Army’s secret service and
some physicians. The two secret service agents met
earlier a Lieutenant from ‘S’-2, who arrived in a
white brown Volkswagen (Fusca type) and stopped
beside the “Paes Mendonca” supermarket, in Varginha. Where from they were sent to the Humaniatas
hospital and were observed entering the hospital.
Sra. Theresa Starace de Magalhaes Texeira of Campinas
told researcher Ubirajara that her husband, Adalberto, who was in the
Humanities hospital for an
operation, saw the dead alien being wheeled
out of the morgue on a gurney.
The dead alien was kept at Humanities hospital for
aprox. 30 hours before it was
moved to the Escola de Sarcjentos das Armas (ESA), where
the military personal were stationed during the whole
incident. The moving of the dead alien from Humanities hospital took place at 6:00 PM on
January 22nd and was
witnessed by several individuals. The hospital is located
right by a little peripheral road, which leads directly
to the Fernao Dias-highway, which links Belo Horizonte to
Sao Paulo, and that made the transportation very
discreet. Although, the drivers of the trucks (3 in all)
didn’t seem to know what they were carrying and were held
outside the hospital area until the transportation
started.
(from AUFORA News Update):
“The same convoy would leave the school in Tres Coracoes at 4:00 o’clock a.m. Tuesday, January 23rd. Destination: Cantpinas (a much bigger city upstate Sao Paulo) where the “cargo” would have been delivered to another military unit, probably the Army Cadets Prep School.’
“All this operation was coordinated by lieutenant-colonel Oiimpio Wanderley Santos, says Mr. Rodrigues. “We have the testimony of an army officer from the Escola de Sargentos in Tres Coracoes who was directly involved in the operation. He describes in detail everything that happened during those days,” adds Mr. Pacaccini, In the 42-minute recording, this person says that decomposition had already begun and when the corpse left Hospital Humanities the smell was pretty bad.”
“Interviews with
some of the military who participated -in this new
operation, removing the creature from the Humanities Hospital, declared that three Army trucks were used,
each one driven by two different soldiers. It is
believed that three trucks were used to remove only
one body in order to [prevent] the soldiers from
knowing in which truck it would be transported. The
drivers and their [escorts] couldn’t see the details
of the operations, as they were kept outside the
hospital area. Military personnel from the Army
Internal Intelligence (called ‘IS-2’ in Brazil and
extremely violent and repressive) were responsible
for getting the corpse from the interior of the
hospital, placing it in a box and then in one of the
trucks. ”
This was observed by several people as the police had stopped all traffic to ease the route for the three-truck, and Jeep convoy.
On Sunday, June 16, the show “Programma de Domingo” identified the men involved in the three-truck convoy that transferred the aliens to Campinas, about 200 miles in distance, on January 23 at 4:00 AM. According to the broadcast, Lt. Col. Olimpio Wanderly Santos commanded the convoy, accompanied by two officers, Captain Ramirez and Lieutenant Tide, plus Sergeant Pedrosa from S-2, Brazilian military intelligence. Corporal Cirilo and Sergeant Pedrosa drove the middle truck with the aliens inside. The other trucks were driven by Private Vassalo and Private de Mello. Also a Jeep (Engesa type) was part of the convoy. And from the Army Cadets Prep School where the convoy stayed for 9 hours, meanwhile the dead alien was taken to the University of Campinas, where the famous physician Dr. Fortunato Badan Palhares (he was the one who autopsied German Nazi Mengele, about ten years ago). did an autopsy of the dead EBE. Palhares, as well as any other authority involved, denies any such operation. But personal from the University has been seen in the Jardim Andere park collecting soil and vegetation-samples from where one of the EBEs was reported to have been caught. And researcher Eduardo Mondini came up with this:
” We managed to
contact IML (institute Medico Legal – Institute of
Legal medicine) and the Army’s headquarters in Campinas, but both authorities deny the exhumation.
However, we found a military from Campinas who
allegedly saw a document over his commanders desk,
proving the E.T. had been in Campinas. We got with an employee of IML the information that on January 20-26
there had been military movement inside IML, in the
Army’s private drawers, in order to get a body in or
out of there.”
There is also information
of an autopsy made at the Humanities hospital by the same
– Dr. Fortunato Badan Palhares, and Dr. Coradin Nesve. Arid that the dead alien later
was taken to the Amarais Cemetery near the University of
Campinas where it was frozen for shipment. But probably
it is the same autopsy made at Campinas University and
the body later frozen, also in Campinas.
At 9:00 PM, the 6 living
EBE’s were driven to Campinas airport where they were put
aboard a twin-engine EMB Buffalo owned by the Forca
Aerea Brasileira (Brazilian Air Force) and flown to Sao
Paulo, where they changed plane to a U.S. Air Force C-17
transport plane. The aliens were then marched aboard the
C-17. And according to sources in the Sao Paulo tower,
the C-17’s destination was Albrook Air Force base in
Panama. And there the trail disappears … If the two
dead aliens was aboard, we don’t know. But researcher Claudeir Covo says that he has been given
independent statements from several guards that one of
the dead aliens are still at the University-lab in
Campinas:
“Three military men, one from Campinas, one from Jundiai and another one from Sumare gave -as that information. They do not know each other”, assures Covo. ‘We are in no doubt about the laboratory real existence. We are now just trying to gain access to it”.
According to Covo, the secret laboratory is guarded and occupied by Brazilian military personnel. The equipment resembles that of a Sci-fiction movie. It’s being studied by Konradin Nesve II , a German Professor and forensic expert.
Urologists are puzzled by
the finding last week of 25 mutilated corpses of animals
in Souza district, Campinas. According to Covo, 13 dogs
and I/’ cats had had their eyes plucked out, apparently
with the aid of instruments of surgical precision. The
sexual organs of male animals had also been cut off
before being brought to UNICAMP.
“All these circumstances point out to some type of research carried out by extraterrestrials on some animals”, ended Covo. for him, this case could be related to that of Varginha.
Denying Everything
Now, what about the
military, fire department and police statements to this
incident? The military denies everything, up to a point
of not even have been in the Jardim Andere park despite
witnesses. The military has a problem as 17 of their own personnel involved have spoken on recorded testimonies and
even camcorders. Among them is a 42 minute tape where a
military officer in high position gives every detail of
their involvement (this according to investigators
Rodrigues and Pacaccini). The military leaders has placed
the military-school soldiers at ESA under strict orders
not to talk to the press or UFOlogists. And then there
are the hospital-staff that have given testimonies and
statements that confirm the story. To that we can add the
Regional Hospital directors contradictory statements to
the researchers and press. And finally we have a great
number of official and “protected” civilian
witnesses to the army’s several operations and capture of
the EBE in Jardim Andere and convoy-movements. To that,
there is a mystic case where a boy of a high placed local
politician was founded dead in a police cell a week after
the incident. The military has tried to explain the whole
incident to be caused by that boys death and the
transportation to the Humanities hospital. The military
means that everything is a mix-up with that, not yet,
cleared incident. This is from The Wall Street Journal
interview with captain Calza:
“Capt. Calza says he can’t vouch for what the three women saw in January. But the activity on the base that fateful weekend, he insists, was anything but otherworldly: New inductees to a sergeants’ training school went on parade and a truck convoy was driven to the repair shop. Concurrently, at the town hospital, trucks delivered new cardiovascular equipment and an ambulance dropped off an exhumed corpse — a human body, officials insist.”
As I said, the exhumed boy who was found dead in his cell was found A WEEK after the proclaimed incident in Jardin Andere and the hospital. And a military man at the ESA camp has told Pacaccini (on videotape) that he saw a folder about the EBE on a officers desk. In the folder was a description and drawing of the EBE’s hand. This is from Wall Street Journal:
“The print is said to resemble what a human hand would look like with the palm flat, and a space opened up between the ring and pinky fingers and the other three digits.”
So, this was in January
and now it’s August/September. What has happened? Well,
details are popping up all the time which has helped me
to put together the presentation above for you. According
to John Carpenter the researchers involved, on location
in Brazil, have been getting direct threats over the
telephone and problems with the phone lines have continued
since that. And UFO’s have been observed in almost every
city in Minas Gerais, and some of them are photographed
and video taped. But one of the most significant
developments are the four men that arrived at the home of
da Silva, the home of two of the girls who stumbled on
the EBE 15:30 PM on January 20.
The four men was driving a Navy blue 1994 Lincoln
Continental with Distrito Federal (Brasilia) license
plates. They all wore white and cream Armani suits. The
four men, one Brazilian and three American, offered the
mother Luiza Helena Fatima da Silva $20,000 if the girls
would go on the TV and say that they made the whole story
up. The girls and their mother refused. “They said
they would pay cash”, “They also said they
would come back but we cannot hide the truth.”, says Mrs. da Silva in UFO Roundup‘s June
issue. And we know that there has been a cover-up at the
military school outside Varginha and that all personnel has been forbidden to talk to investigators like
Rodriguez and Pacaccini. One soldier was arrested as the
senior officer thought he was a security-risk. This was
confirmed by people inside the base to researchers. And
as the incident happened over a weekend and the military
school is almost totally empty on weekends, aprox. 98,5
of the personal is unaware of the details.
Another issue is the continuing sightings of EBE’s in the area.
On April 21st 1996, at
9:00 PM, Mrs. Therezinha Cialo Clepf (67), a housewife, sighted a similar
creature (according to her description) that the girls
saw in the park in January. She was a party at the zoo
restaurant as she went out to smoke a cigarette on the
porch she saw the creature in the porch’s parapet, only
from the neck upwards. Mrs. Therezinha became very
frightened and froze, staying this way about five
minutes, looking all the time at the creature at a
four-meter distance, without making any gesture. The
difference between her description and the one made by
the two da Silva-sisters and their friend was that now
the creature had a helmet like gear on it’s head. It was
in gold color. That stopped her from seeing the creatures
ears. The rest was the same description: dark brown skin,
bright and oily, a rounded face, red eyes, and didn’t
have any cheeks, nor beard, mustache or nose, and on the
lip’s position there were only a cut. Some days after Mrs. Therezinhals sighting of the creature outside the
zoo-restaurant, five animals were found dead in the
place. The zoo biologist, Dr Leila Cabral, found traces of some toxic substance in
one of the animals. The cause of death to the rest -is
still -unknown and unexplained. Vitrio Pacaccini also
says that there is proof of an existing video tape made by
the army of one (or more) EBE’S. First of all, many witnesses saw the army personal carrying a camcorder in
the Jardim Andere park on January 20th 10:30 AM (first
capture). Two reporters were in Varginha were also approached by a person who identified himself as
the-cousin-of-a-son-of-a-military-man-from-ES This person
said that he could get access to a film recorded at ESA
showing the creatures. He had already shown it to his
cousin, who then offered it to SBT (Sistema Brasiliero de Television=Brazilian Television System), the second major
TV Network in Brazil. The boy wanted 70,000 Reais
($68,000). They visited the station and discussed the
deal with the network director but didn’t close the deal
and later the boy said that he wasn’t able any longer to
deliver the video. Also a daughter of a Military Police-man (16 year schoolgirl) says that she has watched
a “horrible film” that showed the captured
creatures. As the girl’s father realized the situation
was dangerous, he vanished with the tape. Pacaccini says
that he has much evidence that the film is still located
in Varginha.
On May 4th, Lelis Silva, 46 years old, trader, filmed a
round object at a party at his mother in-law’s house on the
outskirt of Divinopolis, Ipiranga state. The camera was a
Panasonic camcorder, model IqVA-AlBR. Mr. Silva filmed the
full moon as a present to his mother in-law and as he
looked at the filmed later he saw, on aprox. 200 meters
distance, 25-30 degrees with reference to his own
position, a round object which has a lot of rings and a
whole ‘Through the middle. The object was strongly lit,
changed its shape and color, beyond moving itself. The
film is now within UFO-researchers in the area.
The image on Mr. Leiis video looks like some ancient paintings which were found at the rocks of the National Park of Sete Cidacies, north of the state of Piaui. These paintings are 12,000 years old. UFO researcher Simao Neves says that a good example is a grotto in Montalvania, northeast of Minas Gerais, where paintings were found that match perfectly with a flying saucer. The painting was found 20 years ago but hasn’t been preserved. Something for Von Daniken?
The latest news is about a filmed UFO over Lago Sul (translate: South lake) on August I-2. it was filmed by military police corporal Jose Raimundo Galdino. The object filmed during 8 minutes and 56 seconds is a bright lit point passing over- the sky (they’ve been very common since 1991). That isn’t especially interesting. But ‘the fact that when they took the video to the University of Brasilia’s (UnB) and studied it, they (anthropologist Wilson Gearldo de Oliveira and Corporal Galdino) saw the nose part of a Brazilian Air Force (AFB) plane in something that looked like a pursuit as the object turn vertical, upwards. Eduardo Dorneles barcelos, director of AEB (Brazilian Space Agency) says that the images is far from proving an extraterrestrial apparition and points at routine meteorological phenomena.
And the people seem to have straightened their backs against the violent Brazilian army that made thousands of civilians to “disappear” during the 60’s and 30’s. Recently a TV reporter got into a shouting match with a top Brazilian general during a Victory Day broadcast (commemorating Brazil’s contribution to Allied victory in World War II) when the reporter kept asking questions about the Varginha incident instead of listening politely to the patriotic speeches.
As always when people catch the smell of money they go for it. The three girls that encountered the EBE in the Jardim Andere park on January 20, 15:30 PM, now charge $200 for each interview (accordant to wall Street journals article), and other witnesses are doing the same. And the leaders of Varginha are thinking of promoting their city by building a proper park to the unknown creature’s honor, but it will not be called “El Roswell” like someone stated… And one thing that has been pounding my brain the whole time is: how could 7-8 EBE’s fit into a mini-van bus, traveling throughout the galaxy???
