Out of Africa: ETs Captured in Brasil (Varginha)

What was reported

Three young women returning from work in Varginha, Minas Gerais, saw a creature kneeling among bushes at 15:30, apparently injured: dark brown, 1.2 to 1.5 m, hairless, big head on a small neck, greasy skin, large red pupil-less eyes, tiny mouth and nose, and three horn-like bumps. They fled, fearing the devil; no craft was seen. Researchers Rodrigues and Paccaccini found other witnesses, army trucks nearby, and a sergeant's confidential statement that the fire brigade and then soldiers from Três Corações netted the creature that morning; a second was reportedly caught that night. One allegedly died after two days at Humanitas Hospital and was moved by army intelligence in three trucks to Campinas, with staff threatened into silence. A fireman's wife burned his grease-stained uniform. A follow-up claims an autopsy by a top surgeon who thought it might be alien.

What Hind made of it

Hind trusts A J Gevaerd, whom she met at the Curitiba conference in October 1995, and is sure the report is fact-based and that he will back the investigators whatever the final answer.
