In 1996, a series of bizarre events took place in Varginha, Brazil that to this day remain shrouded in mystery and controversy. Many in the town allege extraterrestrial visitations involving UFO sightings, alien creatures, and military intervention. Believers claim it was a case of alien contact covered up by officials, while skeptics argue there are rational explanations behind the sensational reports.
The series of events started on January 20, when three local girls claimed to have seen a UFO crash on an old farm. According to them, living alien entities crawled out from the downed craft. The girls described them as having large heads, greasy brown skin, huge red eyes, and emitting strange squeaking noises.
Within days, several more eyewitnesses emerged alleging encounters with these unusual creatures. Some say they even spotted local police capturing one of the injured alien beings, which was then transferred to a hospital under military escort.
There, doctors supposedly examined the extraterrestrial patient before it was taken away and never seen again. Sketches based on witness accounts show an eerie, alien-like figure with oversized limbs and a bulbous head.
Brazilian government and military officials firmly deny that aliens ever landed in Varginha. They dismiss the events as cases of misidentification and mass hysteria. Skeptics suggest local creatures like the maned wolf may account for some creature sightings.
Still, over 25 years later, the people of Varginha remain divided over what really transpired. Many stand by their otherworldly encounter claims, while interest groups continue investigating the incidents they believe prove alien visitation. Until definitive evidence surfaces, the mysterious case of Varginha remains Brazil’s seminal UFO legend
