Case · UFO Afrinews No 20, July 1999
Varginha creature and the smell of oil (comparison)
1996 ยท Varginha, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil
Outside the region. Hind reprinted this case from elsewhere; it has a file here but no place on the map.
What was reported
Hind cites the Brazilian Varginha case as a parallel for the oily smell Kerry reports. On 20 January 1996 three girls walking home from work saw a strange being whose skin looked greasy with dark oil. The wife of one of the firemen who later captured a creature said oil rubbed off onto her husband's uniform and upset her so much that she burned it. When the girls reached home, the mother of the two younger ones went back to search; she saw nothing but admitted to a terrible smell of dead flesh. Hind had featured the case in issue 15 and uses it here as supporting context.
What Hind made of it
Offered as a corroborating pattern for the oily smell preceding Kerry's visitors.
In their words
-
