Alright, a brief refresher first.
The year 1947 was at its midlife, and reports of strange objects in the sky
were running rampant across several parts of the world.
A rancher named William Brazel, woke up for a normal day's work in New Mexico,
75 miles north of Roswell, when he made a shocking discovery.
He found on the ranch a large area of bright wreckage made up of rubber strips,
tinfoil, a rather tough paper and sticks.
With help of his wife and children, he hand-delivered a box of accumulated debris,
to the Sheriff of Roswell.
Soon, the Roswell Army Air Field announced that it was fortunate
enough to gain possession of a disk through the cooperation of one of the local ranchers,
and the sheriff’s office of Chaves County.
Major Jesse A. Marcel was the group intelligence officer, dispatched to the scene,
who would later collect the box of debris, and deliver it to the higher authorities.
On his way, curiosity got the better of him, and he whipped out a box. The
Guardian later reported that what he had found was said to have hieroglyphic-like markings.
However, the army soon intervened and debunked the story, claiming
that the debris was actually from a crashed weather balloon.
And not just that, Marcel was even asked to be pictured at a press conference, with the debris.
And that was that, case closed — or so everyone thought.
Fast forward to 1978, nuclear physicist, author and UFO researcher Stanton Friedman,
interviewed Marcel, who said that the discovery made 31 years earlier,
was not from this world, and that the government had ordered him to keep quiet.
Now I know there have been a lot of theories around the Roswell incident,
and I am not going to give you my piece of it.
The reason we went back to the Roswell incident is because there has been another Roswell
incident that has been successfully buried by the government before the media could blow it
up. And this incident, does not just concern with an UFO, but also an alien, that tried to run away.
Fasten your seatbelts, because this ride is going to be a little bumpy.
Welcome to Lab three sixty, its time to explore.
A bizarre UFO case dubbed Brazil’s Roswell has set the internet abuzz amid news that
a video of a captured “creature” exists, and could soon be released.
The so-called Varginha incident, an alleged UFO crash, extraterrestrial encounter,
and subsequent military cover-up, made headlines in 1996, and sparked a media frenzy in Brazil,
despite official government denials that anything unusual had occurred.
It remains one of the country’s most famous UFO cases, where many residents to this day
insist the Brazilian military captured two alien beings, and threatened locals to keep quiet.
“Governments tend to cover up everything they can’t explain
to their population,” retired Brazilian Air Force General Jose Carlos Pereira told Fox.
Let’s get to the bottom of this. In January 1996, locals in Varginha
reported seeing a strange, cigar-shaped object, about the size of a school bus,
slowly fall from the sky and crash in a field. A man who witnessed the alleged crash said
that the Unidentified Object was floating and slowly losing altitude.
He goes on to further describe that it looked like a washing machine struggling,
fighting to keep its altitude … The side of it was completely torn and it had white smoke coming out.
Within minutes, however, military trucks arrived from the nearby ESA
Army Base — 30km from Varginha — and ordered them to leave, threatening them with their guns.
Soon after, Varginha residents were stunned as a large military presence descended on the town,
cordoning off several blocks and preventing anyone from entering.
A group of girls, then came forward, claiming they had stumbled across a “strange creature” in broad
daylight, at around 3.30 pm on January 20, 1996. The being, which was huddled next to a wall by
a clump of weeds in a vacant, grass-covered lot, was described as about four feet tall,
with brown, oily skin, V-shaped feet, a large head, and huge red eyes.
For its part, the Brazilian military said in 2010, that an official inquiry had concluded that the
girls had actually encountered a homeless, a mentally unstable man covered in mud.
However, one of the girls stressed that what they had seen was by no means a human,
as she had seen the creature standing just eight feet away from her.
“When I said, ‘Guys, look at that!’ Then it turned around,” she said. “I saw the
eyes and it took off running.” Around three hours after the
alleged encounter, the military had arrived. Apparently, one soldier present at the site had a
film camera, and recorded it, and that there, was for sure a video in possession of the government.
And this where things get more interesting. A former Brazilian Air Force traffic controller,
claimed that shortly after the incident, the US Air Force landed unannounced in Campinas,
and dispatched two helicopters to Varginha, where they “collected something” and took it away.
“What was collected is not known, but something was rescued, the retired officer said.
According to local military and civilian witnesses,
the bodies and crash debris were appropriated by agents from the United States of America.
And after that, the matter was squashed, and as days passed,
people got on with their lives and soon, the incident was forgotten.
Now, 26 years later, an interest in the case has been renewed after the release of a documentary,
Moment of Contact, which sees filmmaker James Fox return to the small town in the southwest
state of Minas Gerais to interview eyewitnesses, experts, and officials.
This comes at a time of renewed attention on the UFO subject by the US government.
“I have personally spoken to three witnesses in Brazil that claim to have seen photographic
evidence — both video and stills,” he said when asked about rumors of
an alleged 35-second video of the creature. Asked if he thought the Varginha case would
feature in the next UFO report to Congress, Fox said, “Only behind the scenes. I’m told this film
has already made the rounds on Capitol Hill.” So, what do you guys think? Are aliens
here? Or have they always been here? throughout history, there have been things
found that are so bizarre, even scientists find themselves twisting and turning in their bed.
An Oopart (out of place artifact) is a term applied to dozens of prehistoric objects
found in various places around the world that, given their level of technology, are completely
at odds with their determined age based on physical, chemical, or geological evidence.
Ooparts often are frustrating to the scientific world, and a delight
to adventurous investigators and individuals interested in alternative scientific theories.
In 1991, the appearance of extremely tiny coil-shaped artifacts,
found near the banks of Russia’s Kozhim, Narada, and Balbanyu rivers,
brought about a debate that has continued even to this day.
These manufactured coils were initially discovered during geological research
associated with the extraction of gold in the Ural mountains. These pieces include coils,
spirals, shafts, and other unidentified components.
What is so mysterious about these artifacts is that they were found at a depth between
10 and 40 feet, in a geological stratus between 20,000 and 318,000 years old.
Does it suggest that there may have been a culture, capable
of developing nanotechnology 300,000 years ago?
According to an analysis from the Russian Academy of Sciences in Syktyvkar,
the largest pieces found are mostly copper, while the smallest are made of tungsten and molybdenum.
Molybdenum, is the same material detected in the
metal fragments that was found in the desert outside Roswell.
Now, here’s where things start to turn stranger.
The shape of these artifacts, suggests that they are manufactured,
and not naturally occurring metal fragments.
In fact, they have been found to closely resemble
the same miniature components of contemporary nanotechnology.
Now some have argued, that these tiny structures are merely debris left behind from test rockets,
being launched from nearby Plesetsk space station.
However, a report from the Moscow Institute determined,
that they are far too old to have come from modern manufacturing.
Moreover, the Central Scientific Research Department of Geology and Exploitation of
Precious Metals in Moscow, has concluded that despite being thousands of years old,
the components are of a technological origin.
All of the objects seem to be manufactured,
as no type of natural process known could explain their creation.
How humans 100,000 years ago would have been able to be technologically
advanced to such a degree as to be able to create them is unknown.
Is this mysterious discovery evidence that humans may have been more technologically advanced
than previously believed, or are the objects evidence of extraterrestrial contact or presence?
