On January 19-20, 1997 Brazil's I Centro Integrado de Defesa Aerea e Controle de Trafego Aereo or Integrated Center on Air Defense and Air Traffic Control received a warning from the U.S. North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) of an incoming bogy. NORAD estimated it would crash in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais.
Early Morning
The livestock of farmers Augusta and Eurico Rodrigues startled awake the couple alerting them to some sort of disturbance. When they gazed out the window they could see the various animals running around in a stark panic. They would see also the reason that sent their farm animals into a terrified fit of fear. A large submarine-shaped craft was descending and could be seen at about five meters from the ground. It was described as emitting smoke or fog as it was coming down. The couple's farm is located in a coffee farming area about six miles north of the Brazilian town of Varginha. Subsequent investigations estimate that the craft was unable to maintain flight and crashed landed sometime between the hours of 1:30 A.M. and 5:00 A.M. the same night.
8:00 A.M.
Hours after the first sighting, a twenty-year old college reports an extraterrestrial sighting on the ground. In a small neighborhood within the city of Varginha, college student Hildo Lucio Galdino caught sight of this being outside a bathroom window that opened out onto an alley. The student describes the creature as about 4 foot tall, dark and oily skin, with very small hands support long pointy fingers. It was without visible hair and clothing. The Brazilian student alleges the thing ran off when he screamed.
7:00 - 10:00 A.M.
Reports had already been flooding the phone of local authorities. As early as seven that morning reports were coming in of sightings of some unusual animals being seen by the early-rising locals. A confidential informant from the local fire department revealed that by 9:00 A.M. that morning, one of these creatures had been captured. When the firemen arrived on the scene they found the military was there and had apparently cornered the entity. Upon arrival, the firemen realized that this was not an animal but something much more. They summoned the commanding officer via radio telling him this was a situation a bit more complicated than a wild animal capture.
Major Maciel arrived at 10:30 A.M. to find that the creature had been secured. The creature had been captured with a net used for small to medium sized animals and since it was cornered close to someone's residence, there were many public witnesses. Some described the creature as totally non-resisting capture with the only sound coming from the creature was a buzzing noise similar to what a horde of insects might make. Eyewitnesses allege the creature was handled with gloves since the authorities feared some sort of infection. It was shoved into a wooden box, covered with a tarp, and taken away by the military.
Civilian and government informants have told Ufologists investigating this case that the capture of the alien was recorded on videotape. Some witnesses have claimed to have seen the video. The allegation of a tape being made of the event is based on eyewitnesses seeing one of the military men at the scene taping the capture.
As the first capture event was taking place more unnatural events were unfolding elsewhere. In an area of woods not too far from the first capture, an ex-military man who is now a lawyer noticed a small squadron of Brazilian military jets swarming the skies in what called an attack formation. He also noticed military trucks and soldiers on foot approaching the woods. Others witnessed this unfolding new scenario.
Three shots were heard coming from the woods. An informant revealed to investigators that one of these creatures was shot and killed by soldiers.
Confidential informants have revealed to UFO investigators that the live captured entity as well as the dead were taken to the Escola de Sargento das Armas (ESA) - a military school in the town of Tres Coracoes, 25 kilometers from Varginha. At about 1:30 P.M. more military activity was seen with the arrival of additional soldiers.
3:30 P.M.
Two mid to late teenaged sisters with an adult female friend were walking home from housekeeping jobs when they stumbled across another creature fitting the exact description of the first two creatures the authorities had in custody. They described it as having long arms, large, red eyes, appearing hurt. When the creature made a slight movement the girls ran for help. There was no sight of the creature when help was summoned. However, a peculiarly strong smell was detected in the exact spot where the creature was alleged to have been seen. A psychiatric examination revealed the girls to be truthful.
11:00 P.M.
An additional creature was found. It appeared to be wounded. This capture did not draw attention, as did the first.
April 1997
A 67-year-old housewife in the same town made one additional creature sighting as the other sightings.
The Brazilian government pulled one of the tricks governments often do in trying to cover up the entire event. Official denials, threatening witnesses (and there were scores and scores of first-hand witnesses) to keep quite, you name it they've done it.
Sounds like our Roswell, doesn't it?
