In January 1996, residents of Varginha, Brazil, reported encounters with strange creatures and downed craft that drew immediate military intervention. Eyewitnesses described beings with oily brown skin, large red eyes, and a strong odor - soon followed by reports of military trucks and officials removing something from the crash site.

Dubbed "Brazil Roswell," the Varginha Incident remains one of the most controversial UFO cases in South America, blending mystery, secrecy and undeniable local testimony.
