The Varginha UFO incident involves a series of events in 1996 when residents of Varginha, Brazil, claimed seeing one or more strange creatures and at least one unidentified flying object (UFO). The reports garnered extensive media coverage. Other associated claims include the capture of one or more extraterrestrial beings by the Brazilian authorities, animal fatalities at a zoo, and a woman impregnated by an extraterrestrial. An investigation by the Brazilian Army concluded that a city resident was mistaken for an alien creature and the movement of military personnel in the region was routine

00:22on a stormy night in january 1996 in virginia brazil a strange incident allegedly took place
00:40which was to thrust this part of south america into the international spotlight
00:45incredibly over a dozen witnesses claim to have seen strange lights in the sky and alien creatures
00:55running loose in the area was this man's first significant contact with an alien race
01:01or was it a case of people misidentifying more terrestrial events i traveled to brazil to see for
01:09myself
01:19this is the story i was told
01:38On the 20th of January 1996, an unidentified object crashed into the area behind me.
01:45Over the next two days, two alien creatures were captured alive by the Brazilian authorities.
01:52Within hours of the first capture, a total media blackout was imposed.
01:57And despite scores of military and emergency personnel,
02:00and over a dozen witnesses seeing both the craft and the bodies,
02:03the Brazilian government refused to admit that anything of an extraterrestrial nature took place here.
02:10As incredible as it sounds, that's the story many people here believe.
02:17Could the Virginia incident be the most significant close encounter ever?
02:23Or was it a hoax, mass hysteria, or even pure fantasy?
02:28I've received reports from military witnesses who say that they were part of a military unit
02:34sent to capture an alien creature.
02:39People who claim to be witnesses give accounts of creatures being taken to the local hospital
02:45and details of the autopsy performed.
02:48And I talked to the frightened locals who say they saw a craft crashing into their town.
02:54It's just unbelievably undeniable, undeniable.
03:02It doesn't matter what the military say, they are hiding.
03:06They are hiding.
03:07They do have captured aliens in Brazil alive.
03:11The creature was about 160 centimeters long with big V-shaped feet
03:21that had dark brown skin, which looked oily, big head, bigger than ours,
03:29with some kind of protuberances on the top of it, three of them.
03:34These creatures from another planet were captured, taken in by the army, and then examined biologically.
03:42A method I use when investigating UFO cases that, after assessing all the evidence
03:48and deliberating the pros and cons, I give it marks out of ten.
03:52The case of Virginia gets a seven.
03:55I don't think that people are making this up.
03:59What I do think we have to check out very carefully
04:02is the possibility that we are dealing with a series of events
04:06which have been, as it were, linked together,
04:11perhaps by people who are very keen to come to particular conclusions,
04:15and that we're dealing perhaps with nothing more exciting
04:18than a series of misidentifications
04:20and people putting, perhaps, quite extraordinary explanations
04:25on events which may be rather mundane.
04:28I think this is going to be a very important situation
04:33where we can prove that alien beings had really visited our planet.
04:40It's hard to imagine a more unlikely setting
04:43for what would be mankind's greatest contact with an alien race.
04:48Virginia is a small industrial city
04:53of 120,000 people in south-central Brazil.
04:58Since the news broke of the alleged sighting and capture of alien creatures,
05:03an army of UFO researchers, international TV crews and press
05:08descended on the area to cover, if it's true,
05:11the most astonishing close encounter that the world has ever heard about.
05:18By the time we arrived in Virginia to meet the researchers and the witnesses,
05:25the mystery and intrigue were at an all-time high.
05:27Well, the town was just going insane because everybody was on the streets
05:34because many UFOs were sighted at that time,
05:37so people was just connecting one thing to another.
05:41The city was in a panic.
05:43Someone said that a military policeman had died under strange circumstances
05:47after allegedly handling one of the aliens.
05:50Some people even said that healthy animals in the local zoo
05:55had mysteriously died overnight
05:57and dozens of people had reported UFO sightings.
06:06Virginia was in the grip of an alien frenzy.
06:08A testemunha militar afirma que a criatura foi mesmo capturada...
06:14O Vasco teve acesso às declarações secretas desse militar.
06:17Segundo os pesquisadores que acompanham o caso Varginha,
06:21ele sabe...
06:22O que nós podemos dizer sobre os eventos...
06:29What we can say from the evidence,
06:31the maximum we can say,
06:33is that there is not the slightest bit of doubt that everything did happen.
06:38We say this not only because we have heard from people from the town
06:42who were indirectly involved,
06:44but with people who participated in the principal events.
06:47Some of the UFO believers claim that...
07:00On the night of Friday the 19th of January,
07:02a US spy satellite detected an unidentified object
07:06entering the Earth's atmosphere.
07:08The North American radar defense system at Cheyenne Mountain, or NORAD,
07:13alerted the Brazilian government
07:14that the object was heading towards Virginia.
07:17Immediately, the military authorities at the base of Tres Corassois
07:21went on full alert.
07:23It was a night of frenzied military activity behind the scenes.
07:47We understand that the Americans are not only alerted,
07:56but they are very interested in being part of this
07:59because we know if they can put their hands in the wreckage
08:03or even in one of these creatures,
08:05many things can be developed.
08:07So, yes, we understand that they are involved up to their necks.
08:11There's an awful lot of sophisticated equipment up there
08:18looking for a re-entry of an American satellite,
08:21of a Russian satellite, or a flying saucer.
08:24So, did we know it was coming down?
08:26Was word sent to the Brazilian Air Force?
08:27What's the involvement of the American government?
08:30Brazilians don't have a lot of spy satellites up there,
08:32but the American and Russian governments do.
08:34So, there's a larger picture here.
08:37While this object was falling down,
08:39it was observed by a few witnesses.
08:41It was very strange because some of them
08:43could describe an object like a cigar-shaped,
08:48with a cigar-shaped format,
08:50like in flame with some sparkles,
08:53things like that.
08:54Several witnesses said they did see a strange craft in the sky that night.
09:00Yuriko and Aurelina de Freitas saw what they thought was a UFO
09:04glide past their farmhouse a mere five feet off the ground
09:08in the early hours of January the 20th.
09:11It appeared to be in some sort of trouble.
09:14We were sleeping, but my wife could not sleep,
09:18so she got up.
09:20We heard the noise of the cows becoming startled.
09:24That's what got our attention.
09:26My wife went to the window and called me over.
09:31It was around one o'clock in the morning,
09:34and we saw an object flying over
09:35with a lot of smoke coming from it.
09:37So, I called my husband over,
09:39and we both looked at it.
09:42I started to ask,
09:43what was this?
09:44It was some kind of submarine flying over.
09:47It was long, and on its rear,
09:49it seemed like there were bits flying behind it,
09:52like when you tie ribbons to a fan.
09:54It was the size of a minibus,
09:59with lots of smoke,
10:01a light color,
10:02almost transparent.
10:04I have never seen anything like it in my life.
10:07The most astonishing part of the story was about to unfold.
10:13The sensational story of an alleged close encounter in Brazil got even stranger.
10:33One of the anonymous sources I spoke to claimed that at approximately 7 a.m. on Saturday the 20th,
10:41the local fire brigade here received an anonymous phone call,
10:45which reported that a strange creature was seen running loose on the outskirts of Virginia.
10:50He further claimed that the firemen drove the short distance to where the creature was reported,
10:56about five minutes away.
10:57But curiously,
10:59when they arrived at the location in Jardim Andery to capture the creature,
11:04a contingent from the nearby military base,
11:07Esa was already there.
11:08They both have a surprise to see each other.
11:33The team from the fire department and the team from the army,
11:36but they agreed to go into cooperation and capture the creature.
11:40At about 10.30 in the morning,
11:55according to my source,
11:56the firemen located a creature cowering in the tall grass.
12:01They were expecting to find a wild cat or dog.
12:04What they say they found would change life in Virginia forever.
12:07Pretty soon,
12:12everyone had heard the stories about crashed spacecraft and alien creatures.
12:17The town was abuzz with rumours.
12:25The creature offered no resistance at all to its capture.
12:29It almost couldn't move.
12:31It was so fragile.
12:32It was so suffering.
12:34The fire brigade people told me,
12:39one of them,
12:40that the creature didn't show any reaction.
12:43It was quite easy to capture.
12:45He thought that it was ill somehow.
12:49It was feeling bad somehow,
12:52because he didn't move.
12:53Did this incident actually happen?
12:58Was an alien creature netted alive by the authorities and driven off?
13:03Over 11 people who claimed to be eyewitnesses told me it did.
13:07One, a local lawyer,
13:09witnessed the military activity from his house nearby.
13:12He agreed to make a statement providing his identity wasn't disclosed.
13:16After the soldiers had entered the woods,
13:19I heard three gunshots.
13:22And then I thought to myself,
13:24they killed someone down there.
13:27Some few minutes later,
13:29they came out from the woods.
13:31One of the soldiers was carrying a sack,
13:34where as far as I could make out,
13:36something was moving inside.
13:39At the time,
13:39I thought it was an animal or something like that,
13:42because something was definitely moving inside that sack.
13:45People make mistakes.
13:47People misidentify things,
13:49particularly if they see them under unusual conditions.
13:52So always,
13:53I would say to people,
13:54look for the prosaic explanations first.
13:57Look for the misidentification
13:59of some sort of military exercise going on.
14:04By early afternoon,
14:05according to reports from witnesses,
14:07the live,
14:08allegedly alien creature
14:10had been brought to the military academy
14:12known as ESA,
14:13here in Tres Corosois,
14:14a high-security training base.
14:17I asked to interview the senior officer.
14:41After waiting for several hours,
14:43a major at the base
14:44agreed to give me
14:45this exclusive interview
14:46to set the record straight
14:48once and for all
14:49on the incident.
14:51If some of the descriptions
14:52by the witnesses
14:53seem a little outlandish,
14:55the official military version
14:57is bizarre in the extreme.
14:58The appearance of an extraterrestrial
15:03did not take place
15:04because it has never been
15:06officially proven.
15:07What happened was that
15:15on the 20th of January, 1996,
15:17there were violent storms
15:19in Varginha.
15:20Here in Tres Corosis,
15:21we were having a ceremony.
15:24We also had to send
15:25some truck for maintenance
15:26while they were
15:27still under guarantee.
15:29So we sent two trucks
15:30into Varginha
15:31for this to happen.
15:32To further complicate the story,
15:44there were more coincidences
15:46relating to the events.
15:49At the hospital in Varginha,
15:51there was an expectant dwarf couple.
15:53which coincided with Eza
16:06taking the creature in a truck
16:08to the hospital in Varginha.
16:11There must be a confusion
16:13between this and the dwarf couple
16:16who were expecting a baby.
16:20Pregnant dwarfs,
16:21violent storms,
16:22and broken down trucks.
16:25Surprised by the official
16:26military version of events,
16:27I returned to the fire brigade
16:29in Varginha
16:30and asked to speak to the men
16:31who allegedly captured the creature
16:33on the morning of January the 20th.
16:36Why do people say
16:37that the fire brigade
16:39captured an alien on that day?
16:42I think that the public
16:44should ask how it was possible
16:45beings from another planet
16:47were expected to be
16:48captured by six to ten firemen.
16:50Everyone here,
16:51including the commander,
16:52doesn't believe it
16:53because we never saw it.
16:55The fire brigade here in Varginha
16:57deny that they captured
16:59any aliens on January the 20th.
17:01To them,
17:02they say it was just
17:03another routine day.
17:05But when I asked them
17:06to tell us what they did
17:07on this routine day,
17:08they told me
17:09it was classified.
17:12Hardly surprising
17:13since most military activity
17:15is indeed classified.
17:21By early afternoon,
17:23in the intense heat of the day,
17:25the streets were once again deserted.
17:27And there,
17:28this incredible story
17:29might well have ended,
17:31were it not for three local girls.
17:33At around 4pm that afternoon,
17:37Katia,
17:37Liliane and Valkyra
17:39took a shortcut home from work
17:41and say they spotted
17:42a creature
17:43identical to the one
17:44allegedly captured
17:45by the military that morning.
17:48It was cowering by a wall.
17:49It was around 4 o'clock
17:53in the afternoon
17:54and we were coming home
17:55from work.
17:57We took a shortcut
17:58through Jardin Anderay
18:00on our way to Santana
18:01where we live.
18:05We saw this very strange creature
18:07but it didn't notice us
18:09at all at first.
18:11Then Katia screamed
18:12and then it saw us.
18:17I asked the girls
18:18to describe
18:19what this creature
18:19looked like.
18:21With the help of an artist,
18:22we built up
18:23a detailed sketch.
18:28It was brown
18:30and its skin
18:31looked very soft.
18:33The sun was shining on it
18:35and it looked like
18:35the outside of a heart.
18:38The eyes were big,
18:39round and red
18:40and there were
18:41three horns on its head
18:42and visible veins
18:44on its arms.
18:46When it looked at us,
18:49it seemed as though
18:49it was suffering,
18:50anxious,
18:51as if it was in some kind
18:52of pain.
18:56It was more when my eyes
18:58made direct contact
18:58with its eyes
18:59and I could just sense
19:01that it was suffering.
19:04There was just something
19:05about it.
19:05Katia and Lilianne ran off
19:12but I froze.
19:14But they came back
19:14and grabbed me
19:15and we all ran away.
19:18So they arrived home
19:19and they told their mother,
19:21Mommy,
19:21we just saw the devil.
19:23And the mother said,
19:24the mother is a very brave woman,
19:25she said,
19:26no devil is going to play
19:28with my kids.
19:29And she managed
19:30to get to the location
19:31just to smell its train,
19:33smell,
19:33odor in the air.
19:35But nothing else
19:37was seen,
19:37the creature wasn't there
19:38anymore.
19:39And what happened
19:40is that
19:40the rumors
19:43were spread
19:43that a few kids
19:44saw the devil.
19:46Clearly there was
19:51some things
19:51changed there.
19:53But there are
19:54a large number
19:55of strange wild animals
19:56in Brazil
19:57and some of them
19:58are certainly
19:59not creatures
20:00with which
20:00Western researchers
20:02are familiar.
20:03It's a large country
20:04and there are
20:05all sorts of
20:06unusual animals
20:09there
20:09that may indeed
20:11cause someone
20:12to say,
20:14my goodness,
20:15what's that?
20:15There's no animal
20:16you could be
20:17confusing
20:18with what the girls
20:20just saw.
20:20It's just impossible.
20:22Not inside Virginia.
20:23Virginia is a
20:24place where you have
20:25many industries.
20:27It's a very
20:27civilized place.
20:28You won't find
20:29wild animals
20:30just walking around
20:31the streets.
20:32It's just impossible.
20:33I do not think
20:35that any of our
20:36principal witnesses
20:37are lying.
20:38None of them.
20:39Not the civilians
20:40or the military.
20:42The statements
20:42are concrete
20:43and I believe
20:45in the sincerity
20:45of all of them.
20:48As I mentioned,
20:50we had violent
20:51storms that day.
20:53In Virginia,
20:54there's a mentally
20:55handicapped man,
20:57dwarf,
20:58who has a strange,
20:59disfigured appearance.
21:00as a consequence
21:02of these storms
21:03that we'd had,
21:04he had hurt himself
21:05whilst trying
21:06to take cover
21:07or get home.
21:08When this happened,
21:09he was near the area
21:11where these girls
21:11said they saw
21:12this strange creature.
21:14But if we were
21:15to look at what
21:16they saw again,
21:17they could have
21:18confused this dwarf
21:19man with something else
21:20due to his
21:21disfigured physical
21:22appearance
21:23and dark skin.
21:24by night time,
21:28Virginia and the
21:29surrounding areas
21:30were alight with talk
21:31of aliens,
21:32UFOs and military
21:34cover-ups.
21:34But even so,
21:36no one could have
21:37predicted what some
21:38people say happened
21:39next.
21:39OK, TLC doesn't
21:52really think that
21:53aliens are going
21:54to invade us, OK?
21:55Do you feel better now,
21:57you big babies?
22:00TLC's Alien Invasion
22:01League.
22:09The story of a supposed
22:11alien capture in Brazil
22:12gets even stranger.
22:14I was told by an
22:15anonymous military witness
22:17It was on this road
22:18at around 10pm
22:19on Saturday
22:20that a military patrol
22:21saw another creature
22:23lying injured
22:24on the roadside.
22:26And like the one
22:26earlier on,
22:27they decided to
22:27capture it
22:28with little resistance.
22:30They put it in a net
22:31and then drove it
22:32a few miles
22:32back into Virginia
22:33and took it
22:34to the local hospital.
22:36Researcher
22:37Vittorio Pacacini
22:38secured an
22:39interview with
22:40a military witness
22:41who claimed
22:42to have been
22:42involved in the
22:43capture of this
22:44live alien.
22:45This is what
22:45he told us.
22:48On January 22nd,
22:501996,
22:51Monday,
22:52a military convoy
22:53with three trucks
22:54left Eze
22:54and headed
22:55towards Virginia.
22:57In charge of
22:58the operations
22:59were two S2
23:00Brazilian Army
23:01intelligence lieutenants.
23:04They are
23:05secret officers.
23:07Most of the
23:07army people
23:08don't even know
23:08who they are.
23:09on the road
23:13outside Virginia.
23:14We saw a
23:15strange creature
23:16crouched by the
23:17side of the road,
23:18so we stopped.
23:30When we realized
23:30what it was,
23:32everybody was shocked,
23:33but we were ordered
23:34to put it in the back
23:35of the truck
23:35of the truck
23:35and drive to the
23:36hospital.
23:37I remember everyone
23:38being terrified.
23:41They just got so
23:43surprised because
23:44they never thought
23:45all they knew
23:46about alien beings
23:47was from TV.
23:49And TV,
23:50you can see
23:50many different
23:51shapes,
23:52many different
23:52kinds.
23:53They never thought
23:54an alien being
23:55could be like that.
23:58They were really
23:58astonished,
23:59and they were
24:01afraid of getting
24:02some disease
24:02from it.
24:03According to the
24:04anonymous officer,
24:05the creature was
24:06driven off in an
24:07ambulance to the
24:08local hospital.
24:08But it was dead
24:15on arrival.
24:23There were a lot
24:24of doctors,
24:25over 15 of them,
24:26all wearing
24:27surgical masks.
24:30Some had
24:31stethoscopes
24:31around their necks.
24:33There were
24:33military policemen,
24:35firemen.
24:38One of the
24:40S-2 lieutenants
24:41was filming
24:41everything with
24:42the portable
24:42camera,
24:43while the
24:44other one
24:44was taking
24:44notes.
24:54One of the
24:57doctors came
24:58over and
24:58opened that
24:59little slit
25:00of a mouth,
25:01grabbed its
25:01tongue and
25:02rolled it out
25:02using forceps.
25:03It was a
25:08long, flat,
25:09black tongue,
25:10about 12
25:10centimeters long.
25:15When the
25:15doctor released
25:16it, it went
25:17straight back
25:17into that
25:17little slit.
25:27There was
25:29an unbearable
25:30smell of
25:30ammonia.
25:31The creature
25:33was about
25:34160 centimeters
25:35long, with
25:37big V-shaped
25:38feet.
25:40It had dark
25:42brown skin,
25:43which looked
25:44oily.
25:48A big head,
25:50bigger than
25:50ours, with
25:51some kind of
25:53protuberances on
25:54the top of it.
25:56Three of them.
25:57It didn't have
25:58a nose, just
25:59two holes.
26:00And it just
26:01had a slit
26:01of a mouth
26:01and big,
26:02round eyes
26:03with no
26:03pupils at
26:03all.
26:07Its legs
26:07were short
26:08and skinny.
26:09It had long,
26:10thin arms.
26:14After hours
26:15of examination
26:16at the hospital,
26:17the anonymous
26:18military witness
26:18said that the
26:19creature was
26:20then taken by
26:21road under
26:22tight security
26:23to the
26:23ESA base
26:24at
26:24Tres Corasais.
26:25The dead
26:31creature remained
26:32under guard
26:32at the army
26:33facility until
26:34very early the
26:35following morning,
26:36Tuesday, the
26:3723rd of January.
26:39Under the
26:39watchful eye of
26:40Lieutenant Colonel
26:41Olympio Wanderley,
26:42our source says
26:43that the alleged
26:44alien was then
26:45transported to its
26:46final destination.
26:47The next morning,
26:52at 0300 hours,
26:53the same
26:54well-armed
26:54convoy,
26:55under the
26:56command of
26:56Sergeant
26:56Pedrosa,
26:57an intelligence
26:58officer,
26:59took this
27:00creature to a
27:00military facility
27:01in Campinas,
27:03where they
27:03delivered it to
27:04Captain Ramirez,
27:05an officer from
27:06ESA,
27:07who was already
27:08waiting for the
27:09convoy.
27:09From the
27:12military facility,
27:13they then
27:14transferred the
27:14creature to the
27:15Unicamp University
27:16in the same
27:17town.
27:19Behind the
27:20unassuming
27:20exterior,
27:21there are,
27:22in fact,
27:22two restricted
27:23access laboratories
27:25in the basement
27:25of the university.
27:27And why the
27:28creatures were
27:29taken there?
27:30Because in the
27:31University of
27:31São Paulo,
27:32there is a
27:33big team
27:34of forensic
27:35doctors,
27:36one of the
27:36finest in
27:37the country,
27:38and they are
27:39headed by
27:40Dr.
27:40Badam Palhares,
27:41who is
27:41regarded one
27:42of the
27:43top forensic
27:45doctors,
27:46pathologists,
27:47in the
27:48country.
27:49I contacted
27:50Dr.
27:51Palhares at
27:51the medical
27:52facility.
27:53He declined
27:54to go on
27:54camera and
27:55give us an
27:55interview,
27:56but he did
27:56telephone us
27:57later to
27:58give us this
27:58statement.
28:01I am not
28:02and have not
28:03actively and
28:04personally
28:05participated
28:05officially in
28:07the Virginia
28:08incident.
28:08I have
28:11never been
28:11involved with
28:12any member
28:13of the
28:13National
28:13Security Service
28:14or the
28:15Army in
28:16dealing with
28:17the issues
28:17relating to
28:18the ETs of
28:19the Virginia
28:20case.
28:21According to
28:22the editor of
28:23a UFO magazine,
28:25several months
28:25after the
28:26incident, a
28:27student asked
28:28him whether
28:28he had been
28:29involved.
28:29You know
28:30what the answer
28:30was?
28:31He said,
28:32well, my
28:34young man, I
28:36really would
28:36love to give
28:38you an answer,
28:38but please ask
28:40this question
28:40again in 10
28:42or 15 years
28:42from now.
28:44Unconfirmed
28:45reports say
28:46that after
28:46several weeks of
28:47testing at the
28:48high-security
28:48laboratories, the
28:50creatures were
28:50flown to the
28:51United States
28:52in an unmarked
28:53transport plane.
28:54With the
29:15town of
29:15Virginia buzzing
29:16with rumours of
29:17flying saucers and
29:19alien creatures,
29:20this bizarre
29:21story took a
29:22tragic turn.
29:24Shortly after
29:25the alleged
29:25incident, one
29:26of the soldiers
29:27who allegedly
29:28came into
29:28contact with
29:29the creature
29:29died.
29:31He was
29:31Marco Eli
29:32Shirezi, a
29:3323-year-old
29:34plainclothes
29:35military police
29:36agent at the
29:36army base.
29:38His sister
29:38Marta is
29:39convinced that
29:40he was
29:40contaminated by
29:41the creature
29:42as he died
29:42only weeks
29:43after the
29:44alleged
29:44incident.
29:46He was
29:47involved
29:47completely with
29:48the police
29:48operation from
29:49start to
29:50finish and
29:51accompanied the
29:51creature from
29:52where it was
29:52captured to the
29:53Humanitas
29:53hospital.
29:55He didn't get
29:55home till very
29:56late that night.
29:59When he actually
30:01captured the
30:01creature, he
30:02could have
30:03directly touched
30:03it and this
30:04links with some
30:05reports I had
30:06that he could
30:06have been
30:07contaminated through
30:08the skin, not
30:09necessarily through
30:10a cut or
30:10infection.
30:13So because of
30:13this, there was
30:15a capture and
30:15my brother did
30:16capture the
30:17creature because
30:18there was
30:18originally
30:19nothing wrong
30:20with him.
30:25The doctor
30:26said no autopsy
30:27was necessary.
30:29Blood test
30:29results were
30:30available, however,
30:31and indicated
30:32that Marco's
30:33blood contained
30:34eight percent
30:34of unknown
30:35toxic substances.
30:36The doctor
30:44told the family
30:45to bury the
30:46body immediately,
30:47no funeral.
30:48The family
30:49didn't understand
30:50why, but
30:50followed the
30:51doctor's orders.
30:52Now they're
30:53suing Minas
30:54Jedi's state
30:55because they
30:56want to exhume
30:56Marco Elisha
30:58as his body.
30:58But I understand
31:00that this won't
31:01ever happen
31:01because militaries
31:02are involved,
31:03this is national
31:04security subject,
31:05and the judge
31:06won't let the
31:07family do it.
31:14In the media
31:15spotlight and
31:16under intense
31:17public pressure
31:17to make a
31:18statement about
31:19the incidents,
31:20the military
31:20held their own
31:21press conference
31:22at which General
31:23Lima, commander
31:24of ESA,
31:25publicly denied
31:26the army's
31:26involvement.
31:36I think it's
31:37a huge scandal.
31:39We have
31:39captured aliens
31:40and the population
31:41won't have the
31:42right to know
31:42about it.
31:44The military,
31:44if they were
31:45conducting some
31:46sort of night
31:47maneuvers,
31:48are not
31:49necessarily going
31:51to suddenly
31:52start telling
31:53people what
31:53they were doing.
31:54and they are
31:55not suddenly
31:55going to
31:56explain themselves
31:58to UFO
31:58researchers who
31:59turn up and
32:00ask questions.
32:01That's simply
32:01not the way
32:02that the military
32:02work.
32:05I tried to
32:06talk to
32:07General Lima,
32:08but the
32:08Brazilian military
32:09said they were
32:10unable to
32:11contact him.
32:11and just when
32:27everyone thought
32:28the so-called
32:29Brazilian
32:29Roswell was
32:30over,
32:31reports emerged
32:32of yet another
32:33alleged alien
32:34encounter.
32:35Several months
32:36later, an elderly
32:37lady,
32:38Mrs.
32:38Clep, says she
32:39saw a creature
32:40while attending
32:41a party at
32:41the local
32:42zoo.
32:43According to
32:43reports, she
32:45was so shocked
32:45she was unable
32:46to move for
32:47several minutes.
32:48I went outside to
32:51have a cigarette
32:52onto the balcony
32:53and I saw
32:54something really
32:56ugly.
32:57It was dark
32:59brown and had
33:00big bulging
33:02red eyes.
33:04It was really
33:05ugly.
33:07I'm sure it
33:08wasn't an animal.
33:09It is a coincidence
33:13that around the
33:14same time as
33:14the sighting of
33:15this creature,
33:16we were having
33:16problems and
33:17there were
33:18actually some
33:18animals that
33:19had died since
33:20February.
33:24I lost five
33:26animals, but we
33:26do not know why.
33:28There was no
33:28scientific explanation
33:29and nothing came
33:30to light in any
33:31post-mortem
33:32examination.
33:33This is very
33:34strange.
33:35I have been
33:36director at this
33:37zoo for seven
33:38years.
33:39And there has
33:39never been
33:40anything like
33:41this.
33:44Just what
33:44happened in
33:45Virginia on the
33:46weekend of
33:46January the
33:4720th, 1996
33:48remains shrouded
33:50in mystery.
33:51On the one
33:52hand, we have
33:52locals who say
33:53they saw UFOs,
33:55crashed saucers,
33:56and alien bodies
33:57captured by the
33:58military.
33:59On the other,
34:00we have total
34:01denial on the
34:02part of the
34:02military and the
34:03authorities,
34:04citing hysterical
34:05locals and a
34:06total lack of
34:07physical,
34:08written or video
34:09evidence.
34:11Some people
34:12wonder if the
34:13real truth to the
34:14so-called Brazilian
34:15Roswell still lurks
34:17somewhere inside this
34:18zoo.
34:19The creature that
34:20Mrs. Klepp says she
34:21saw has never been
34:23captured.
34:23And I want to know
34:26what happened to
34:27these creatures.
34:28I think the whole
34:29world wants to
34:30know if these
34:31creatures are still
34:33in Brazil and
34:35definitely what
34:36happened to them.
34:38We believe that if
34:39this case is
34:39definitely proved to
34:40be true, then it is
34:42as important, if not
34:43more important, than
34:45the case of
34:45Roswell.
34:46Roswell.
34:48If encounters with
34:49alien creatures in
34:51Brazil seem
34:51unsettling, even
34:53more bizarre reports
34:54have been emerging
34:55from the Caribbean
34:56island of Puerto
34:57Rico.
34:57Set deep in the hills
35:24of Puerto Rico, the
35:26Arecibo Space
35:27Observatory, has been
35:28attempting communication
35:30with deep space for
35:31the past 30 years.
35:33Rather alarmingly, it
35:35may not only have
35:36received a reply, but
35:37a personal visit.
35:41In the last two years,
35:43people say Puerto Rico
35:44has been terrorised by
35:45a creature known
35:47locally as a
35:48chupacabra, or the
35:49goat sucker, so-called
35:51because it drains the
35:52blood out of its
35:53victims.
35:56We've obtained the
36:01only known footage of
36:02what is believed to be
36:03a chupacabra.
36:05Some biologists say
36:06it's just the carcass
36:07of a wild cat.
36:08The grinch was so, it was
36:17like a three feet tall, skinny
36:19legs, white wings.
36:23It wasn't like a bird.
36:24It wasn't normal.
36:26It was like, birds fly away,
36:28but this was really fast.
36:29It was something unusual,
36:34not normal.
36:36Just what the chupacabras
36:37are remains a mystery.
36:40Some people believe they
36:41are the products of covert
36:42genetic experiments which
36:44have escaped from US
36:46military bases on the
36:47island.
36:49Others are convinced that
36:50they are alien creatures
36:52from another planet.
36:53The Puerto Rican
36:54authorities say it's just
36:56wild dogs.
36:56the face was very
37:00small, with two holes
37:01where the nose is and
37:02with a mouth you could
37:03hardly see.
37:06The eyes were like two
37:07drops of water, but red.
37:09I looked and saw two
37:14creatures with neon green
37:17eyes, which turned red
37:18when they looked at me.
37:20And I suddenly felt a
37:21current and couldn't move.
37:23I don't know whether it
37:24was just fear or it was
37:25them transmitting
37:26something.
37:30It was gray, about three
37:32to four feet tall, and had
37:33red eyes and a fin on its
37:35back.
37:35It was floating outside the
37:36window, grabbing Roderick's
37:38hand.
37:39When we rushed in, it
37:39fled.
37:46Jorge Martin is well
37:47known on this small
37:48island.
37:49He's been researching the
37:50chupacabra phenomenon for
37:52over two years.
37:53They walk on two legs,
37:56erect, and they have
37:58this strange spine or
38:00twill or whatever that
38:01goes from the back of
38:02their heads down to the
38:03lower back.
38:04and they start changing
38:06colors.
38:07By breeding very fast, they
38:08illuminate themselves, and
38:10they start doing this very
38:12faint humming sound.
38:14And somehow this seems to
38:15impel these creatures, which
38:16fly away.
38:21I think the chupacabras are
38:22alien in origin.
38:24At first, I used to think that
38:26maybe there was some type of
38:27genetic manipulation, some
38:29experiment that had been done
38:30here in Puerto Rico, and
38:32eventually it escaped to the
38:34environment, and no one would
38:35take any responsibility for it.
38:38But then, as we started getting
38:45more and more reports from
38:47serious, reliable witnesses from
38:50all over Puerto Rico, in which
38:52these creatures were being
38:53observed together with UFOs, with
38:55alien, humanoid beings, and
38:57being levitated into this craft,
39:00et cetera, I had to change my
39:01mind.
39:04One witness, Mr. Jesus Sanchez,
39:07said he did manage to get
39:08close enough to one to strike
39:10it with his machete, after it
39:11attacked his rabbits.
39:13He's convinced it's no ordinary
39:15animal.
39:19I heard a noise, so I came out
39:22to see what it was.
39:24When I came out, the creature
39:26ran past me, so I hit it with
39:30the machete twice.
39:31It made a hollow sounding noise,
39:38like the drum.
39:41After that, it ran off.
39:44He says that when he returned to
39:46his rabbits, they were all dead,
39:48with blood drained from their
39:49bodies.
39:52The marks were quite incredible.
39:54No one human would leave those
39:56kind of marks.
39:57Not even a doctor would leave the
40:00kind of marks that the creature
40:01left.
40:05Dead holes through the neck.
40:08Here to the veins.
40:11Like in an operation, no one could
40:14do that around here.
40:16I asked Mr. Sanchez to identify
40:18the creature he saw that night.
40:20I showed him artist impressions of a
40:22chupacabra, based on other
40:24eyewitness descriptions.
40:25This was the creature I saw.
40:30The shape of the eyes, the nails
40:33like that, and the claws on its
40:36feet.
40:39Some people in Puerto Rico say
40:41they're monkeys, but they're lying
40:43because monkeys can't fly.
40:46They must come from another planet.
40:48Usually what we're seeing in
40:58necropsy findings is round, perfect
41:01wounds, primarily from half a
41:03centimeter to a centimeter in
41:05diameter.
41:06They go into the base of the skull,
41:09also into the base of the jaw.
41:12We hardly ever see rigor mortis in
41:14some of them, but I will say that
41:17about three-fourths of the volume of
41:19blood from the animals is removed.
41:22The chupacabra, when it attacks, it
41:33appears, seems to produce a probe out of
41:36its mouth.
41:38Maybe a fairly long probe, maybe six,
41:40eight inches or so.
41:43And they insert this probe in small
41:45animals such as chickens, ducks, geese,
41:48usually, usually in the neck area.
42:00Policeman Juan Coyazu says he came
42:03face to face with a chupacabra one
42:05night.
42:11Suddenly, I heard the car alarm go off.
42:14I thought someone was trying to steal it,
42:16so I raced down the stairs.
42:19And when I got down there, there was an
42:22animal fighting my dog.
42:26When I got closer, I realized that it was a
42:30chupacabra, which had been described to
42:32me before.
42:34So, I stepped back a few feet and shot at
42:38it with my gun.
42:38When I shot at it, what it did was to roll
42:44itself up, like a worm, and rolled along
42:47the ground until it hit the wall.
42:49Then it stood up and disappeared within
42:51seconds, unbelievably fast.
43:01Armed with the eyewitness reports, I asked the
43:04Puerto Rican authorities to comment on these
43:06strange events.
43:09One local mayor believes the chupacabras do exist, and
43:12has put his career on the line to hunt for them.
43:17It's definitely an extraterrestrial.
43:21It's something that's never been seen before.
43:22I used to work for the police in Puerto Rico before
43:26becoming mayor, and investigated many cases.
43:31But I've never come across something as strange and
43:33difficult as this.
43:36I went to many people.
43:39I went to the chief of police.
43:42But he wouldn't help me.
43:44He took it as a joke.
43:46He said that it was just some kind of wild animal.
43:49We've come to two conclusions.
43:55One is that it is a creature from another planet.
43:59And the other one is that it is an experiment.
44:02An experiment from the government.
44:04It's very important to realize that witnesses, when they
44:15report something like this, will simply dredge something up from
44:19their own belief system, their own knowledge, and particularly
44:24importantly, their own cultural background.
44:26So what we have here, I think, is clearly an incident where
44:30something was seen.
44:32But this idea that it's necessarily something to do with UFOs and
44:36aliens may only have arisen once Western UFO researchers became
44:41involved.
44:42We have thousands and thousands of very good testimonies of reliable
44:50witnesses.
44:51And we believe in these people.
44:56They have lost their livestock, their way of living.
45:00They deserve an answer from our governments.
45:03I never believed in UFOs.
45:04I never believed in nothing like this until this happened to me.
45:08Now I believe because I saw it with my own eyes.
45:11What do you think is going on here?
45:14We are not alone.
45:16We are not alone in the universe.
45:19That's all.
45:21Just what is going on here in Puerto Rico remains a mystery.
45:25If reports are to be believed, then some sort of animal is viciously
45:30attacking this island's wildlife.
45:33And in Virginia, again, according to local reports, a bizarre-looking
45:38creature was seen by a number of witnesses before being captured by the
45:41authorities.
45:42Some people claim that these events are proof of alien contact.
45:47Proof that planet Earth is being terrorized by extraterrestrial
45:50creatures.
45:52And yet, there's no hard evidence or conclusive scientific data that can
45:57substantiate these claims.
45:59We might not be alone in the universe, but if these creatures are indeed alien
46:04visitors, we may wish we were.
46:07Next on Alien Invasion Week, imagine waking up to an unexpected guest in your bedroom.
46:28Yeah.
46:29That's what we have.
46:29So they're not ayrfaced secrets.
46:29They don't kill you.
46:32This one is, as kling of horses
46:33it's not only a blink and then naturalです and keep it участ
46:35ourselves, but if they aren't going to ImpossibleAR
46:37idea, they'll be ok to be방��.
46:38And they're not katakan also.
46:39They are still talking about an octopusooo
46:39season, but they do not have nothing yet to be available in front row.
