Case · UFO Afrinews No 17, February 1998 (cover); masthead printed as January 1998
Moises, a farmer in Brasil, lifted twice into a craft (from Bob Pratt's UAP Danger Zone)
Brazil
Outside the region. Hind reprinted this case from elsewhere; it has a file here but no place on the map.
What was reported
An example from Bob Pratt's book UAP Danger Zone, quoted in Hind's review. Moises, a simple farmer in Brasil, was walking home from his brother's house at night when a flash of light caught his eye and within seconds something hung above him, so bright he had to shade his eyes. He was paralysed, felt intense heat and was drawn up into a craft as large as a house, held for about five minutes and set down gently. Crawling homeward he rested by a tree; on the far side the craft returned, paralysed him and lifted him again, this time for about fifteen minutes before dropping him roughly. From home he saw the light swinging like a pendulum above the church. His left eye swelled and took weeks to recover.
What Hind made of it
Hind vouches for Pratt's thoroughness and honesty, and says the witnesses, mostly unsophisticated peasants, have nothing to gain by misrepresentation; she cites the case as typical of the book's hair-raising accounts with objective corroboration.
