Considered to be one of the most important encounters of its kind, the crash of a UFO and the subsequent capture of its crew in Varghinia, Brazil in 1996, is still shrouded in government and military secrecy. Not only did a UFO crash and its crew apprehended but the reports give a strong indication that one of the military personnel exposed to the aliens died shortly thereafter due to his contact with the extraterrestrial life form.
The encounter began just after midnight in the wee hours of January 20, 1996. The North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) contacted the Brazilian I Centro Integrado de Defesa Aerea e Controle de Trafego Aereo (Integrated Center on Air Defense and Air Traffic Control) to warn them that American satellite radar had picked up an unidentified craft coming down in the southern part of their country.
It was not long before reports of the event began to come in to authorities. Farmers Augusta and Eurico Rodrigues called to say they saw a silent, unlit UFO passing over their farm, frightening the animals. Within two hours the Fire Department, in Brazil a part of the military, in Varghinia began receiving reports of a "strange creature" in their town. At first the report was not taken seriously, the firemen assuming a prank was in the works. Yet, every report had to be investigated and they were quite surprised when they encountered the creature.

The alien was described as being about 5 foot tall with long arms, short legs, and large, triangular feet. It has soft, brown skin and bulging, large red eyes. There were three rounded horn-like protrusions on its head. A strong ammonia-like odor was also reported to exude from the entity. The alien was easy to capture, as it appeared to be in a dazed or confused state of mind. Later in the day three young women spotted another of the beings. Taking a shortcut home through a wooded area, Lilliane Fatima, Valquira Fatima, and Andrade Xavier came upon the second creature the military managed to capture. Ultimately it was reported that up to seven of the ET's were captured that day.
While reports vary, it is a common theme of the reports that at least one of the beings died and was taken to a hospital for autopsy. At least two others were sent to the University of Sao Paulo to be studied further. It was during the capture of the second alien that tragedy loomed over the horizon for one of the military personnel involved. At one point 23 year old Corporal Marco Eli Chereze, a part of the Military Police unit that responded to the three girls' report tried to support the seemingly disoriented alien by grabbing onto its arm with his bare hand.
A few days later, he discovered a small, but growing, tumor under his arm. While removing the tumor should have been done immediately, it was not ablated. Corporal Chereze became increasingly ill. He suffered strong backaches, paralysis, and fevers which quickly required hospitalization. The Corporal's family became enraged as he was kept in isolation. On February 15th, less than a month after the encounter, Corporal Chereze was dead of what was officially listed as a "generalized infection." No autopsy report was released and his family was refused permission to exhume his body for further, independent, examination.
The official government position on the Vaghinia incident is that it never happened. Noted Brazilian ufologist Vitorio Pacaccini was the one responsible for making the majority of the investigations for the public. He listed over 25 sources, civilians, doctors, and military personnel who shared their stories with him. The consistency of the reports and descriptions of the aliens over a wide range of unrelated people convinces him that the event is as real as the government's cover-up of the facts of the aliens and the death of Corporal Chereze.




Mankind has debated the existence of aliens in history from the time of the caveman to the present age. It’s even possible that they were known of before that time, but it isn’t known because early man didn’t make marks or drawings the way they did a bit later on in time.
Alien Abduction The
Mankind has always wondered if he was alone in the universe and throughout the history of man; there have been incidents and discoveries that make believers out of many that there is indeed ancient proof of aliens over the centuries.
The Sumerians of Sumer were a culture from Southern Mesopotamia more than 5,000 years ago who came up with a form of writing called cuneiform. This is the type of writing that appears on the Sumerian clay tablets that were discovered from that culture. Originally, only a few of these examples of Sumerian clay tablets were available and had ended up in a British museum, but in 1877 the French unearthed a major Sumerian site and found thousands of clay tablets and fragments that made up the Sumerian clay tablets that contain all of this fascinating information and speculation on their fascinating culture with its very advanced state so long ago.
Area 51 is the Mecca spot for many UFO enthusiasts. Most firmly believe in Area 51 aliens that either have crashed there, been experimented on there or maybe even live and work there with humans on some secret project the government is hiding from us all.
There are many people in the world who say that they have been abducted by aliens and show possible alien abduction symptoms. People who say that they have been victims of alien abduction are sometimes called experiencers or abductees. They speak of being forced to participate in medical exams, strange procedures or that they were lectured on the problems with the environment or war.
As we humans gaze up into the night sky, many of us ask the same question every time, do aliens really exist? It seems logical that they must, because why should Earth be so conceited as to think that with all of those stars and planets up there that we are the only planet with some sort of life on it?
