The Varginha encounter is one of my favorite Alien encounter stories. I remember watching a documentary about it when I was kid and was very captivated by the whole affair.
Varginha UFO incident is the name given to a series of events involving the alleged sighting and capture by the military of an extraterrestrial being in Varginha, Brazil, in 1996. Such reports were first broadcast on the Sunday TV show Fantástico of Rede Globo, and quickly gathered extensive media coverage worldwide, including an article in The Wall Street Journal, and has become since then the most famous case in modern Brazilian ufology.
The Brazilian government has officially denied any claims of being involved in the capture of EBE's, but some theorists beg to differ, accusing the government of a cover up. For some the lack of reliable sources is evidence against its actuality; the testimony of unnamed, anonymous "official" individuals are frequently featured.
UFO investigator Kevin D. Randle writes that "this case is as complicated as any other in the UFO field." [1] Randle notes that there is a lack of physical evidence supporting the case, and adds, "In fact, we have been unable to verify much of anything."
