The Case of the
Varginha Extraterrestrial
Varginha, a small town in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, has
become famous overnight because of something other than its
excellent coffee. Local people celebrate now the four-month
anniversary of the most extraordinary close encounter with
extraterrestrials ever to be registered in the country. At 3:30
p.m. , on a sunny and bright Saturday afternoon , January 20th,
three girls were coming down a narrow path in the area known as
Jardim Andere, 2 kilometers away from the city centre, when one
of them, Liliane Fatima Silva, 16 years old, looked left and
screamed. She had seen a strange creature, with slippery brownish
skin and what looked like three small rounded horns protruding
from its head, at about 7 meters from the point they were
standing. it was near the back wall of an old garage. "He was
squatting , with his long arms between his legs", the girls say.
"The first thing to call my attention were his eyes, huge and
red". Terrified, Liliane turned her back while her sister
Valquiria, 14 years old and their friend Katia Andrade Xavier, 22
years old, stayed looking at the creature, unable to move. "It
was not an animal and it wasn't certainly human.It was a horrible
thing!" , says Katia who works as a maid and has three children.
"He seemed stupefied. He didn't make any noise.", says Valquiria.
But then, the creature made a small movement and the three girls
ran for dear life. Forty minutes later, Liliane and Valquiria's
mother , Luiza Helena, 38 years old, arrived at the place to find
out what had scared her daughters so much. She found nothing.
The story has been widely publicised because, apparently without
knowing about the incident involving the 3 girls, an elderly
couple, Oralina Augusta and Eurico Rodrigues, who work as
farmhands , insist on having seen a UFO very early in the morning
of January 20th. They were sleeping in their house which is
located near the road which goes from Varginha to Tres Coracoes
when they woke to the noise made by the cows. They looked out of
the window to see the animals totally disoriented and running
around the house .
Eurico says: "We looked at the sky and saw a grey object, similar
to a submarine, the size of a small bus, flying very slowly over
the ground", describes Oralina. "There was something like white
smoke coming out of it. There were no lights and it wasn't making
any noise." Local people immediately associated this spaceship
with the ET who appeared 14 hours later.
The day after, Mr. Ubirajara Franco Rodrigues , a UFOlogist and a
lawyer who teaches at one of the four colleges in Varginha,
started investigating the incident. Mr. Rodrigues has been
studying UFOs for over 20 years now and he says that only 1% of
the so-called UFO sightings are authentic. For him, the Varginha
episode is the exception which confirms the rule. "What these
women saw was, without any doubt, an alien creature", says Mr.
Rodrigues. He has also concluded, after his investigation, that
at least 2 EBEs (extraterrestrial biological entities) and not
only one were seen in town on January 20th.
Since then, a great number of ufologists have visited Varginha.
To be more precise,66 specialists have been to the city to
investigate the event. " It is certainly the most extraordinary
thing we have ever heard about ,and we have lots of registers of
UFO apparitions", says Mr. Claudeir Covo, an engineer who is the
president of the Instituto Nacional de Investigacao de Fenomenos
Aeroespaciais (INFA). Mr. John Mack, a professor of Psychiatry at
Harvard Medical School is a specialist in research with human
beings who have been in close contact with ETs. He travelled all
the way from the U.S. to Varginha especially to do a series of
interviews with the three women who said they had seen the alien.
The repercussion of the episode reached beyond the specialists in
UFOs. The most popular Brazilian TV program covered the subject
three times in less than two weeks and the mayor of Varginha is
considering the possibility of organizing an international
congress. But before such an event, the ufologists working there
intend to finish their investigation which lasts 4 months already
and which points at the army as the party responsible for the
CAPTURING AND HIDING of at least 1 of the 2 aliens who are
supposed to have been seen in Varginha. In a report signed by 10
DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS, they unveil "a REAL , complex operation
involving military personnel as well as civilians, which resulted
in the capture of unidentified biological creatures . These
creatures, according to these organizations, were kept under
medical observation for some time and later on removed from the
city".
Apart from Mr. Rodrigues, another ufologist, Mr. Vitorio
Pacaccini, 31 years old, has been travelling to the area over the
past few weeks. Both specialists swear to have listened to 14
witnesses of the ET episode, among which 4 people from the army.
But they refuse to reveal any names or evidence, apart from a
photograph of a supposedly interview with 1 of the officers or
soldiers who would have participated in the operation. The
ufologists insist that an alien would have been captured by 4
firemen at 10:30 a.m., on January 20th near a wood which is
located a few meters from the place where the girls would have
seen their ET and about 5 hours before Liliane, Valquiria and
Katia had the fright of their lives.
According to the ufologists, the alien was immediately placed
inside a wooden box, covered with a white cloth, put inside an
army truck and taken to the Escola de Sargentos das Armas , in
Tres Coracoes, a bigger town about 25 kilometers from Varginha.
The day after, still according to the specialists, another ET
would have been seen at the Hospital Regional, in the city centre
and this time, yes, it would be the alien seen by the 3 girls. In
an operation involving military personnel from the Escola de
Sargentos , officers from the military police and the fire
brigade, the ET, said Mr. Rodrigues and Mr. Pacaccini, would have
been taken , before dawn, on Monday, January 22nd to the Hospital
Humanitas, the best hospital in the area, 1.5 kilometers from the
city centre . At about 6:00 o'clock p.m. , on the same day, the
ET , already dead would have been taken back to the Escola de
Sargentos in one truck which was part of a convoy of three
vehicles.
The same convoy would leave the school in Tres Coracoes at 4:00
o'clock a.m. , on tuesday, January 23rd . Destination: Campinas
(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 Olimpio
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 Humanitas the
smell was pretty bad.
The army, of course, denies everything. The mouthpiece for the
East Military Area, colonel Luiz Cesario da Silveira Leite, says
that no military personnel of any kind helped capture an alien.
"We worry a lot about national and international beings but only
if they are terrestrials...", said the colonel to the reporter.
The colonel has also classified as "exaggerated" all the
connections between the ET and the army. "What the ufologists say
is ridiculous", says general Sergio Pedro Coelho Lima, the
commanding officer of the Escola de Sargentos. According to him,
the Air Force is the military organization which looks after
extraterrestrial phenomena. The Centro Integrado de Defesa Aerea
e controle de Trafego Aereo (CINDACTA) located in Brasilia has a
dossier about UFOs. "It is true that there are lots of cases
which remain unsolved until today", confirms brigadier Cherubim
Rosa Filho, a minister of the Military Supreme Court. One of the
most famous cases involving an ex-minister, was confirmed by
brigadier Otavio Moreira Lima (the minister for the Air Force at
that time)and is now celebrating its 10th anniversary without any
conclusive facts.
But what made the Varginha episode unique are some of the details
which only now are known to the public and which intensify the
mystery involving the whole thing. Luiza Helena, the mother of
Liliane and Katia , the girls who insist having seen the ET,
insists that at the beginning of this month, 4 men wearing suits
came to her house and offered to pay a large sum if her daughters
denied their contact with the alien. "They said they would pay
cash", says Luiza. " They also said they would come back, but we
can't hide the truth". The 4 men did not identify themselves and
only the girls were present when they arrived. Their father, Joao
Lopes da Silva, a bus conductor, was working when the attempted
bribery happened. The coincidence between what the ufologists had
discovered and these facts only got publicised last week. The
administrator of Hospital Regional, Adilson Usier Leite, confirms
that the week after the appearance of the supposedly ET, the 2
city hospitals went through unusual commotion. In the Hospital
Regional, a car belonging to the fire squad brought a corpse
which , they said, had been exhumated and needed an X-ray. The
body was said to belong to a young boy, a university student and
the son of an influential family in town who had been found dead
in a cell, at the police station , after having been arrested for
burglary.At the Hospital Humanitas, also administered by Mr.
Leite at the time, the unusual movement was connected with the
arrival of new equipment to be used during the first heart
transplant to be done in Varginha. "When everybody started
talking about this ET story, I thought it would be better not to
mention that policemen and firemen had been at the hospital",
says Mr. Leite.
But nothing convinces the ufologists. They insist that they are
telling the truth when they say that instead of new equipment or
a special criminal occurrence, both hospitals in town as well as
the fire brigade were trying to HIDE THE BODY of an ET. And they
go further: last Tuesday, Mr. Rodrigues and Mr. Pacaccini went
back to Varginha after having been to Campinas. "We know without
any shadow of doubt, that the creature was autopsied by Dr. Badan
Palhares", says Mr. Rodrigues referring to the very well-known
coroner of the Universidade de Campinas (UNICAMP). " By now, it
is very likely that the body has already been flown from Brazil
to the U.S.A.", finished Mr.Pacaccini. "I don't know where this
idea came from", denies Dr. Palhares in Campinas.

PUBLIC REPORT SIGNED BY
BRAZILIAN ORGANIZATIONS
INTERESTED IN UFOS
THE VARGINHA ET
URGENT
The Brazilian ufologists here represented by the organizations
they belong to, after more than 3 months of intensive
investigation, have no doubts of any sort that what happened in
Varginha in January of 1996 was a gigantic cover up operation
involving military personnel and civilians , and which resulted
in the CAPTURE OF BIOLOGICALLY UNIDENTIFIED CREATURES. These
creatures were KEPT UNDER MEDICAL OBSERVATION AND LATER ON WERE
REMOVED FROM THE TOWN. This is a unique event in Brazil with
unimaginable repercussion both scientific and philosophical.
However, ufologists all over the world have come to the consensus
that there is a widespread tendency for countries where these
events take place to hide them from the public.
Ufology has been fighting for over 50 years now so as to make
sure people in general have access to information about such
events since the right to have access to the truth should be
unquestionable to all humanity,
If you are a direct or indirect witness to the Varginha episode,
get in touch with us since this event may have an enormous
significance to all mankind. Be sure your anonymity will be
preserved. Researchers, journalists and specialists are united in
this task. Our telephone number for contacts is: (035)222-1020 -
