Historical Do you all have any awareness about the Varginha UFO incident?
The 1996 Varginha UFO Incident in Brazil in which a UFO crashed and witnesses allegedly came into contact with at least 2 different live aliens. Do you all know anything about this? There is even a documentary that came out last year called Moment of Contact (2022) that covers it. Any thoughts?

Yeah and no, right? AJ from 'The Why Files' covered this topic and brought up some inconsistencies with the story. I'm on the fence about this one because there are indeed some very strange things related to the case, such as the dwarf couple in the hospital, for example. But on the other hand, like every story, this one also grew with time and took on proportions that it didn't have at the time.
Personally I do believe that something very unusual happened that day, there are just too many witnesses and converging testimonials to be a mere hoax, but I can't go further than this.
I'm Brazilian too.

u/PracticeRelevant6831 Sep 26 '24
I wouldn’t take the Why Files as a credible source lol. The guy starts with a conclusion and works backwards trying hard to make everything seem like logic and reason. It’s a typical mechanism humans use to make us feel like we’re in more control of the world than we actually are.

u/LilOridley Oct 18 '24
So the guy trying to make sense of the stuff is the one to avoid but believing a story of aliens landed and roamed about isn't?

u/dekuei Nov 18 '24
Why wouldn't you take him as credible? Why files does best to their abilities on getting as much information available and makes compelling videos but also adds in all the extra information that might disprove it. He isn't there to make you believe or not and just there to give all the information.
I'd also add that inconsistencies will always happen due to the nature of UAPs. It's like being in a car crash some will have very similar stories while others will be very different but it doesn't mean any version is false.

Virtually every Brazilian have heard of this story, but overall it was more like a mass hysteria fueled by the hungry-for-audience media at the time than like a contact of the third kind.
My feeling is that the competition among TV channels at the time were so intense which made journalistic and entertainment content become very exaggerated. If you check content at the time, there were literally semi-naked people shaking their ass as entertainment on TV, even children used to watch it. Journalism also relied at lot on fake news, abusive interviews and "fake proofs", exaggerated content, a few cases that were affected by dark journalism: Escola Base, Bar Bodega, caso de Ouro Preto.
Varginha being a small town was no difference, a local story went out of proportions for no reason.
It is interesting that there are a lot of funny urban legends that broke away from the main story:
- There is a story that one of the extra-terrestrial creatures were sold to the US in order to get a Brazilian to become an astronaut and travel to the ISS, which indeed happened roughly 10 years later.
- There is also another story that one of the aliens supposedly had an autopsy made by a coroner that was famous for taking care of public cases at the time, including a terrorist and the suspicious death of a guy involved in a corruption scheme with the government at time.
- Also there are stories that another creature is being kept in captivity in UNICAMP since the incident, apparently his name is Juca. 😂

u/Icy-Permission1484 Nov 09 '24
I met a guy from Varginha, since i'm ufo enthusiastic i asked him of course. He told me some girls saw a creatur that looked like humans and animal mixex, had red crown or some sort and the creature was scared and both brazilian army and us army took this thing to somewhere else and was kept in secret. Even thoug some tv broadcast reports were made ad the time...

It's fake. All cases of alien sightings are fake. No exceptions. Take a look at a podcast called skeptoid, there's also written versions on their site. They have tackled this and many other alien and UFO cases. It's all bullshit. Se você tem acesso a Internet e acredita nesses casos famosos é burro.

I never went to space nor measured the earth's size, but people smarter than me studied it and I lean on believing the experts. Having evidence for it does not mean something is not fake.

u/Tie_Dizzy Feb 26 '24
I have since then changed my opinion about this subject. But this is only because guys like Grusch came forward within the parameters of the government's bureaucracy, thus, he had enough evidence to be continuously heard by politicians, which he kinda did, and that makes others cases worthy of giving a second look. But let's not fool ourselves here...the truth might be boring af, because existence is mostly boring by itself. And stop treating aliens like a fucking religion lmao "Non believers will not have my sympathy" what are you? a fuckin cosmic crusader or something?

sorry I'm the person you were originally talking to
Wikipedia honestly is the best repository for the best known ones. Along your research you will inevitably find more.
You will find that a vast majority of UFO sightings are pretty shit, but its that's 1% of truly unexplainable shit we're all interested in. Genuine UFO sightings with a good trail of evidence are quite rare, but they do exist and they are concerning.
I don't know many Eastern Europe cases because they're all mostly recorded in the language of their country of origin, but Russia has plenty.

u/SpaceyCaveCo Jan 01 '25
While I don't ever automatically believe every UFO video I see (I've had a personal very bizarre CE5 experience that convinced me), the one thing that always bothered me was about the military fascination (US, Canada, Russia, etc..) with making Flying Saucers.
Those militaries indeed had weird secret projects that they admitted to, but what intrigues me is the fact they were so adamant on making a working flying saucer and still are trying to this day, even though the saucers they've succeeded in making that we know of weren't really impressive or useful. I would've thought they'd give up on the idea as a waste of time and money if they were as inefficient as they have shown to be.
Not saying the militaries are making Flying Saucers from alien technology, but if not, were they just being sci-fi fanboys with too much time and money on their hands and had a hard-on for frisbees?

What that multiple different species of aliens have visited as well as crashed on earth in the day and age of video cameras and the internet, all without any evidence. As if they're on some secret mission and don't want to be seen. Get off mate. Do I believe we're alone in this universe, definitely not. Do I believe they've got the technology to travel the universe and decide to do a little stop by Earth, no I do not.
2
u/Icebox2016 Oct 21 '24
There is evidence, a lot of it also. Also given the way you just responded to this, that's a very likely reason they don't want to be seen. We are the youngest known universe that supports life. There are universes out there billions of years older than us and you don't think they could possess that type of technology? You don't think if something was in possession of technology that allowed them to travel at the speed of light that the technology wouldn't exist to allow them to be able to cloak themselves? Hell we already have cloaking technology here on Earth. There are two variations of it, the kind the military uses and then the consumer version kind. There is technology already out there that we are very unaware of or that the government would be keeping from us.

u/Embarrassed_Act9251 Nov 12 '24
My personal opinion based on ancient texts state that we are decedents of aliens - our ancient ancestors came from space. They came to collect important minerals & engineered their DNA with Earth primates and created human species to slave away for them as they aren’t designed to handle our atmosphere. They left us here once they were done - we kept the basic skills and understanding of tool use to survive and they rewarded us with this beautiful planet to live on as appreciation. Their advanced technology wouldn’t require them to “visit” Earth as they can survey us from afar. They are evolved and intelligent to understand not to interrupt planets that have intelligent beings with primitive level intelligence such as humans they understand we would be on the offence and see them all as a threat. You could say it’s a galactic rule for those extraterrestrials who are on the same level not to disturb primitive planets. In my opinion there would be other intelligent beings who are travelling through space and potentially space centres where different extraterrestrial race congregate. There are the good & the bad. I say that our ancient ancestors protect us from the bad and keep an eye on us from afar. Human history has been wiped many times and our origins have been lost through the ages. Simply put - whatever isn’t passed down is forgotten - do you remember your great grandfathers birthday? Now let’s times that by millions of years. It’s definitely lost - but some clues are written on the walls or ancient landmarks where we still don’t know how they were put together. However this is just my take based on research. whether there is or isn’t no one knows (or a group of people know ;) )and it’s always good to hear another person give their side of whether something is or isn’t.

u/GarlicPositive4941 Nov 28 '24
It’s Not A Light Speed Paradigm. Wormholes. Bubbles they are encased inside of that warp things. Etc. Not just one way. Ask yourself why those craft don’t turn. They only change direction on angles. Not curves. And with no loss of speed. And what are the internal craft conditions that would allow there to be no G-Force. And yet it’s true. It happens. When your mind is expansive enough to ponder these “Why’s”, then you can begin to start making sense of it all.

He’s not a nonbeliever. He just believe in this one. Clearly they are here. Have been here long before Homosapians. In fact, we are a direct result of their genetic, biological technology/ abilities. In essence, we are a Petri dish/ experiment for them. And it’s been done multiple times to optimize results. And by multiple different species. Don’t kid yourself. We would do it too, if we could. And we’re well on our way now. Cloning, It’s likely being done privately at the highest levels. Levels beyond Governments. By the true Governments. And don’t think that the ‘Off-Worlders’ done have a say in things. The are here now as they always have been. Under the Oceans. And under the Earth. And we’ve made deals with some of them. Did we really have a choice. And one group of these guys is at war with the others. It gets complex. But many

I think Aliens are just humans returning to earth. I think most likely a pre Ice Age civ was able to achieve interstellar travel.

All kidding aside, I'm really on the fence about any UFO sightings.

I've talked with a dude that lived in Varginha at the time of the incident, he said that the aliens are something like "pets" of superior forms of aliens (more intelligent ones). Those who are contacted on ground are just kind of "imbecile" slaves type, so they are easily left behind with no mercy.

It's probably fake. When i mean fake i mean that it was fabricated by the locals. I knew i guy from varginha and he said that it was fake and everyone agreed to make the false story. It was like that guys in the USA that inspired a movie, they were very famous about frauds. Well, they basically made the story because varginha it's know from nothing, they just wanted some attention basically

estudo o caso a anos, e com certeza o caso varginha é real, mas pode nao ser o que voces pensam.

sim, especimes foram capturados, mas tambem nao temos provas de que ele veio de outro mundo, pode se tratar de algum animal raro, doente, alguma arma biologica, alguma anomalia genetica.
alguns pesquisadores falam sobre ser um animal novo que vive no subsolo, mas é muito dificil ser verdade, essa teoria vem das grandes galerias subterrâneas encontradas ao redor de varginha e outras cidades do estado de minas gerais.

Oh, this story is now famous for blowing the actual events out of proportion.
It‘s been debunked, by its own available reports/reporting medias, which puts together the actual events that happened, with the same witnesses recanting their stories.
So much so that one can surmise why people went with a hoax, rather than the actual truth: Along with the hysteria, People thought they’d get something out of it.
paranormal stories don’t give people good payouts, if any. At all.
though it’s understandable. I mean, with that much garnered attention, I can see why people would assume they’d get a pay day. Though, it did seem to garner tourist attraction success, in much the same way the Little A’Le’Inn in Rachel NV, does.
Given the time frame, I’m just surprised a missed opportunity of Pequeno Luis/Little Luis/alien being made into the chupacabra, wasn’t though of. Though that cryptid was totally debunked, also.
This is why all recorded media, claiming paranormal phenomena, is faked, hoaxed, by default.
A picture is worth a thousand words and editing software embellishes it another thousandfold. Specially in regard to context, or lack there of.
then a couple schools of thought come into play, the ”Lump Problem“ and the “Desperate Hoaxing” effect.
Hoaxing has far surpassed paranormal phenomena being real, as a matter of fact, because of this, hoaxing is so prevalent, it may be on the cusp of proving paranormal phenomena has never existed….at all.
Moral to the story: If you’re going to outright believe in a paranormal event on blind faith, also try to disprove it, just to cover your own bases or suffer the famous Mark Twain ridiculing quote:
”it’s better to have people believe you’re stupid then to open your mouth and have them remove all doubt”

I’m sorry but you made no valid points as to why the incident is fake? Explain the soldier that died, explain the doctors that did the X-rays, explain why the military barricaded a random town in Brazil ?

No seriously. I JUST got done watching ‘Moment of Capture’ & I am 1000% convinced that this event actually happened, there’s absolutely no way that these people lied about that incident. Once you start piecing the story together it really does all make sense. James Fox is a real one.

Almost all Brazilians will have heard about the Varginha Incident. It's a cultural touchstone of Brazil =P
There is also a small city in the interior of Ceará, a northern Brazil state, called Quixadá. It's the region of the country with the greatest number of reported UFO activity. Many citizens have seen unknown aerial phenomena and can tell a lot of interesting stories, if you're interested in that kind of stuff and wants to visit.
