During the scorching summer of 1973, a secluded Pennsylvanian Amish community was terrorized by a mammoth, mutant monstrosity in a frightening 3-day flap that would prove to be every bit as brief as it was baffling; making it a small, but essential part of one of the strangest series of paranormal events in American history.

In the midst of what seemed to be a full-scale alien invasion, the city of Varginha became the epicenter for a pitched battle between dedicated UFO investigators seeking the truth and the military leaders doing their best to conceal it—and the cover-up that followed would prove to be every bit as bizarre as the incident itself.

Starting with a warning from NORAD regarding an incoming unidentified object on January 13th,  1996, the Brazilian city of Varginha would host what would prove to be one of the most fascinating, frightening and frenzied episodes in the history of ufology; one that involved deadly aliens, a panicked populace and an anxious army tasked with transporting the fetid fiends.

With multiple alleged alien encounters occurring throughout Varginha, January 20th, 1996 would prove to be one of the most eventful dates in Brazilian ufology, but even after the sun set the day was far from over. Arguably the most terrifying incident of that incredible 24-hour period had yet to transpire… and for one unfortunate individual the result would be nothing short of tragic.
