ever since we can remember mankind has

always been fascinated by the existence

of extraterrestrials represented in our

Collective imagination as little green

aliens

planet Earth appears to be the perfect

place for their little stealth visits

between kidnappings and strange lights

in the sky sightings of UFOs have

increased more and more over the years

together with the testimonies of those

who have been affected

today we shall investigate a lesser

known but no less significant incident

it is one of the most extraordinary

cases of UFO sightings and occurred in

the Sagrada Familia District in Belo

Horizonte City and capital of the state

of Minas gerais in Brazil

the protagonists of our story are three

boys who claim to have been contacted by

an extraterrestrial a being of humanoid

appearance but unlike many other cases

it would appear to be a giant Cyclops

almost two and a half meters tall

during the latest wave of UFO

observations in mid-1965 a more than

surprising news item was published by

the famous Belo Horizonte newspaper

odiario

according to the article three children

had seen two years earlier in 1963 a

strange flying object with several crew

members in their own yard outside their

home

immediately after reading the article Mr

Alberto Francisco to Cargo partner of

chikuani the center for civil

investigation of unidentified flying

objects a Brazilian ufology organization

founded by hulvio brand alexo in 1954

went to the boy's home to investigate

the case

from this investigation that we are

going to analyze a classic case of

Brazilian ufology emerged

after spending a long period with the

three boys and their parents in the same

place where the incident allegedly

occurred this is what emerges from the

report drawn up by Mr nocargmo

the brothers Fernando and Ronaldo aged

14 and 7 respectively like many other

families live in a small house on the

outskirts of the city with four or five

rooms together with their parents and

four other siblings

as they do every evening immediately

after dinner they go out into the

backyard together with their friend

Marcos also seven years old who lives on

the second floor of a small house on the

corner of the street

that evening their intent like many

other evenings at their mother's request

is to wash an old coffee pot with water

from a system located next to a small

well in their backyard

going out into the yard through the back

door down the small Stone staircase the

older boy Fernando notices how well-lit

it is but doesn't give it much thought

as the Moon is shining brightly in the

sky

the courtyard is also a kind of garden

full of flowers with its well and small

bushes and well-kept flower beds

together with some fruit trees an

avocado tree and a mango tree

their friend Marcos always the first to

want to do things quickly approaches the

old oil barrel used for many years as a

water tank

the barrel is almost empty so the boy

moves to the small well next to it to

collect the water needed for their task

the wall of the well is quite High and

the boy has to lean inside to operate

the lever to lower the bucket and

collect the water at the bottom

he leans in so far that his head can

hardly be seen only his back and legs

emerge from the whale

Ronaldo on the other hand the younger

brother left further back to the side of

the house is the first to be truly

surprised at how well-lit the courtyard

is

despite the fact that the old and warm

lamp is turned off

raising his head to understand better

Ronaldo sees the most amazing thing in

the world

floating in mid-air above the courtyard

high enough not to have been noticed

initially by his friend intent on

collecting the water

a spherical object is floating

illuminated from the inside and with

transparent walls

it is motionless above an avocado tree

planted in front of the house

about five meters from the ground and

eight meters from the boys watching it

action

[Music]

it is divided into small squares

probably a checkerboard structure the

investigator.comma hypothesizes

as if Paralyzed by what he is seeing

Ronaldo observes the sphere speechless

foreign

part there is a kind of antenna

consisting of two inclined rods

in the shape of a v

surmounted by two spheres and a central

vertical rod

o is no longer the only one to observe

that miraculous sphere

managing to temporarily take his eyes

off that mesmerizing sight

he notices that even his brother

who stopped shortly after injuring the

courtyard has raised his head

and remains like him

almost Paralyzed by what he sees

the most terrifying thing however for

Ronaldo

who has turned back to look at the

floating sphere

is that

through its transparent walls

four people sitting on one legged stalls

can be seen

at the moment in profile with respect to

the boys

one of the people sitting in the back

seat has a more masculine appearance and

is more robust than the others

right in front of it in the center of

the sphere what appears to be a woman is

seated

the children in fact notice long blonde

hair pulled back in a hairstyle similar

to the one they often see their mothers

use when they go to Mass

sitting in the front seat is a man more

similar to the first but much thinner

seems to operate now Ronaldo notices

instruments on what the child can only

Define as a control panel

not too different from that of an

airplane as he had seen on a TV series a

few days earlier

in front of this is a kind of screen

similar to a television

the Fourth Man or rather being who the

children would soon see much more

closely sits on the left side of the

woman in the center of the floating

object

all four appear to be wearing some kind

of diving suit that is very adherent to

their body and have their heads wrapped

in round transparent domes or helmets

their clothing is also very similar and

uniform as the children will describe

even better in their drawings

their torso is covered in something

brown and below the waist the clothes

are white until they reach the knees

where there are some black protuberances

going down to the feet which the boys

assume are black boots

what now both Ronaldo and his brother

Fernando can identify as the crew

uniforms appear to be made of leather

and are very worn in the parts

corresponding to the limbs and chest

probably the boys think

they have been used a lot

or are second hand

like almost all the clothes that have

been passed to Ronaldo by his brothers

in a matter of seconds

before the two brothers can even warn

their friend Marcos

still intent on collecting water from

the well

two beams of light parallel to each

other and with a yellowish color split

the air under the floating device

projecting themselves towards the ground

in the blink of an eye near a flower bit

without any perceptible noise a hatch

below the sphere opens with two parts

sliding in opposite directions

among these two large beams full of

bright light

one of the men or rather one of the

beings inside the spacecraft makes its

descent to the ground

floating upright until it gently touches

the beaten soil of the courtyard

the brothers can now fully see that

strange creature that resembles a man

after placing both feet on the ground

they noticed that the being does not

look around and does not seem

disoriented

perhaps floating on the ground is a

daily activity for him the eldest thinks

instead the being heads without delay

towards Ronaldo and Fernando

who still motionless almost as if glued

to their home and still stunned by the

event have not warned their friend

Marcos

Marcos with his head completely stuck in

the well and having not yet noticed

anything is unaware of the situation

the being moves with a heavy and

cadenced gate

its arms swing a little away from its

body

and it reminds Ronaldo of when carrying

his brother on his back for fun

he crossed that same Courtyard with a

similar pace

perhaps this being is weighed down with

something or is not used to walking on

the Earth

the brother soon realized that the being

has not noticed their presence

and is instead moving towards the side

of the well

towards their friend Marcos

and stopping shortly before reaching him

it extends an arm towards the boy

as the children were later hypothesize

that may have actually been a harmless

gesture perhaps even of kindness on the

part of that strange creature who seeing

the child almost swallowed by the well

wanted to help him therefore extending a

hand towards him to pull him up

but Fernando as if awakened from a

trance and immediately interpreting the

being's gesture as a threat to his still

distracted companion rushes running

towards the system and jumps on Marcos

throwing him violently to the ground to

avoid being grabbed

Marcus now finds himself dazed surprised

and lying on the ground trying to

understand what happened

he turns at first angry towards his

friend who dragged into the ground then

following Fernando's gaze lying on the

ground next to him he too sees the

strange visitor for the first time

the being who has remained motionless

turns his gaze from Fernando to his

brother Ronaldo

the boy who in the meantime had managed

to move back a little in the courtyard

with the intention of taking refuge in

the house breaks into a run but stumbles

and slams his knee painfully on the

corner of the door

falling to the ground his leg throbbing

in pain he is forced to stop

the groans of pain even if subdued

attract the attention of the being who

stops to stare at the child

Ronaldo manages to get up and takes a

few steps backwards staggering slightly

to then remain passively at the side of

the house

the boy and his two companions will in

fact remember that peculiar State of

Mind

they felt powerless to run away or even

just to scream and call someone for help

the being however does not approach the

boys but instead begins to gesticulate

with its hands short and fluid gestures

extending its hands horizontally

accompanying these gestures with head

movements and strange words in a

language unknown to the boys

Fernando having Found the courage to get

up after pushing his friend to the

ground is overwhelmed by a new sensation

after various gestures by the being his

fear which previously immobilized him

and made his legs tremble has

disappeared

like him the other two boys are also

Karma and finally just over two meters

away from the strange visitor they can

finally observe it better

it has reddish skin and is completely

hairless like two of its companions

still in the floating sphere it doesn't

have a single hair the boy certainly no

bald people in their neighborhood but it

is still a peculiar vision

the figure is huge Fernando notes almost

as big as the door on the side of the

house and he knows that door well he and

his brothers measure themselves against

it every year on their birthday

once to be able to understand how much

he would have to grow to get to reach

the top with the help of his father he

had measured the entire length of the

door

220 centimeters

therefore the strange being standing

before them was more than two meters

tall

above what now stands out better as a

transparent helmet there was a kind of

small ring-shaped antenna with a small

hanging sphere

but by far the most surprising and

strange thing that all the children can

see very well is its eye

one single large eye placed in the

center of the face

they will not remember the nose or ears

maybe they didn't even have them but the

eye that is Unforgettable

a round and dark eye devoid of its white

part

the thing that strikes Marco the most

and that he will continue to remember

for a long time is the pupil

instead of a circular pupil like human

eyes the being only had a much darker

horizontal line as the central part of

the eye

above that big ball that is the eye

there was a dark and large area not well

defined but that moves frequently which

the boys interpret as a thick eyebrow

the clothes the being is wearing that

kind of suit cover its whole body and

appear slightly swollen to the boys

they will hypothesize later that perhaps

after the fluctuating descent a little

earlier the suit had filled up with air

with short steps the being moves a

little always staggering slightly in

contrast to the naturalness with which

it had made its descent to the ground

and it sits on the edge of the well

the boys see it in profile and it is

located more or less in front of that

strange spherical device similar to a

spacecraft where its companions remain

seated

the height of its head far exceeds the

height of the handle of the pulley of

the well Fernando notes and taking

advantage of the apparent destruction of

the being

he takes a few steps backwards

positioning himself behind the being in

order to be out of its field of view

foreign

crouching slightly he picks up a piece

of brick from the ground and raises his

arm to throw it at the being

taking advantage of his position he

would have hit the being from behind

without being seen

I wanted to hit him Fernando later

confessed in a subsequent interview

inexplicably however as if it had sensed

it without even seeing it the being

jumps to its feet

turns towards the boy with a quick

movement and expels from a rectangular

surface placed at chest height

a jet of yellow light which in the blink

of an eye reaches the boy's hand

without Fernando realizing it his hand

trembles and goes limp making the brick

fall to the ground

the boys noticed that the being

exchanges a quick glance with a sphere

floating above them receiving a quick

gesture from its companion sitting in

the front seat in charge of the

instrumentation interpreted by the

children as a gesture of deterrence

at that moment the boys can see more

clearly that this other crew member also

has only one eye

in the brief moment in which the being

in front of them has turned and has its

back to them the boys noticed the

existence of a copper-colored box on the

being's back attached to its clothes

you know that color that appears when

you appeared in electrical wire Fernando

will then ask trying to describe the

color of the box

turning to the boys once again after

that brief exchange with its partner in

the spacecraft the being tries to

communicate something to them

a very strange language an extremely

deep voice and a lot of gesturing with

its hands head and eye

the being seems to make an effort to

make itself understood by the children

who can only watch it passively

by creating a circle with its index

finger and thumb the being traces

different circles in the air around it

and he does the same with the index

finger of the other hand all this

without stopping talking

subsequently after taking a short break

probably to catch his breath he points

to the three boys and with some

difficulty as Fernando notices tries to

join the palm of its hands next to its

head

the classic gesture that is made when

you want to express that you are sleepy

or want to go to bed concludes Ronaldo

foreign

the being points to the Moon with a not

too rapid gesture and a progressive hand

elevation as if to indicate a flight in

that direction

the children cannot understand what the

being wants to say to them but they

stare at it

as if it had finally finished its speech

the being turns and walks slowly towards

the spacecraft retracing the path it had

already made previously

the children are amazed this encounter

that was so scary at the beginning that

one would rather not happen at all was

about to end

seeing it leave Little Marco asks almost

anxiously his friend Fernando close to

him

do you think he will come back

simple almost whispered question remains

suspended for a few seconds in the air

and to the surprise of all the boys the

being turned to Marcos

with its head it makes several vertical

movements as if nodding to Marco's

question

then resuming its Journey it bends down

over a flower bed and from it with its

left hand picks up a plant

with this in its hands it takes the last

steps it needs to reach the point where

it had descended

with its arm it makes a brief gesture

towards the spacecraft and the two beams

of light reappear like Jets connecting

the floating device to the ground

with the Simplicity and lightness with

which it had descended the being flies

upwards between the two bands of light

smoothly and always in an upright

position

it is no longer looking at the children

but its head is raised to the sky

after returning to the device and

sitting next to its companions the

children can still see the two beams of

light even if now they are a little

faded

immediately afterwards the device emits

a strong glow and Rises silently in an

oblique direction towards the east as it

will be later ascertained suddenly

disappearing and hardly being noticed by

the children who remain amazed and now

only illuminated by the moonlight

after a few moments as if a veil had

been removed or the boys had been given

permission to move again the children

feel free and that feeling of calmness

disappearing they immediately run into

the house crying out for Dona Maria the

brother's mother almost screaming

the woman who was putting her youngest

son to bed in a room near the back

entrance had not noticed any change in

the environment during the few minutes

that the strange encounter had taken

place in the courtyard except for a

strong and short flash of light coming

from the window

that flesh however was strange the woman

will later explain because there was no

possibility that a car headlight could

hit the windows of the house and

therefore produce that light

but the woman hadn't paid much attention

to this until the children entered the

house screaming mom mum come and see

what a horrible thing

in addition to the agitation and palette

of her children what impresses Donna

Maria is the fact that their neighbor

little Marcos running into the house

with the other boys goes directly to

hide under one of the beds where he

seems to cower in Terror

although he was still young the woman

remembers never having seen Marcos so

scared as to hide under her bed

they would even have to go and call his

father on the street corner to get him

out of hiding

at the time of the incident Mr alchides

the father of the brothers Fernando and

Ronaldo is like any other evening in the

neighborhood bar talking with some

friends

suddenly one of his little daughters

comes running into the bar her mother

had sent her to get him dad some strange

people have entered our backyard

not understanding what the girl is

saying the man immediately runs back

home scared where he tries to get the

boys to explain what had happened

after several minutes of disbelief the

man is led into the courtyard and

examines the ground following the

directions of the children

on the smooth beaten Earth he can make

out several small triangle-shaped marks

along the path that the strange being

described by his children had traveled

the footprints are quite deep about one

and a half centimeters in size and make

the father think that only something

very heavy could have created them

the boy's father on that same night will

go back to his friends in the bar to

tell the amazing story that had happened

to his children

but despite the invitation to go and see

with their own eyes the indisputable

signs left by the Extraterrestrial their

reaction as well as that of the entire

neighborhood would be one of complete

disbelief and neither the father nor the

children will be taken seriously

only one former neighbor will want to be

shown that same night the footprints

left in the garden

as for their mother Donna Maria her

concern will increase when she realizes

that for some time the boys will refuse

to go into the Courtyard at night which

is completely contrary to their habits

although the woman will also confide

with her neighbors about the unusual

behavior of her children no one will

listen to her and their attitude will

mainly be one of disbelief

Dona Maria will say that facing this

attitude Fernando the eldest son used to

react with a tone of pain and challenge

with the following words

don't they want to believe it well one

day they will end up seeing what we saw

and then it will become clear that we

didn't lie

time has passed and the children now all

grown up after being contacted Once More

by the first investigator of the case

the ufologist Alberto Francisco docagmo

absolutely insists that they would never

have taken advantage of the incident

wanting to go on and live their lives

Marcos who had become an industrial

designer was always the most demanding

starting from the sketches he had made

of that meeting at the age of seven

until he was no longer afraid of

anything and worked in Iraq during the

conflict with Iran for a Brazilian Road

and Bridge Builder

Ronaldo had become a gem Setter at a

jewelry store

and Fernando a mechanical technician

very competent and proud of never having

been unemployed

having acquired a good reputation

generally respected as a professional

furthermore among the various

investigations that followed the event

horvio Branch I like so the founder of

chicoani the center for civil

investigation of unidentified flying

objects among the first to be interested

in the case carried out an interview

with the boys two years after their

encounter with the Extraterrestrial

being who showed up in their Courtyard

that evening of August 28 1963.

foreign

[Music]

just as happened that evening this

interview also took place in the

backyard of the house

all the children were gathered and were

ready to share their version of the

facts

what differences did you note among the

people who were in the apparatus

the man sitting at the end was stouter

there was also a woman with her hair

stretched backwards

did you notice other differences

no they were all alike the men were

without hair

you said that at a certain moment two

luminous bands reached down from the

apparatus to the ground and between them

a man stepped down a stairway

there was no stairway

so then did the man fall down to the

ground heavily

he didn't fall he descended without

moving his legs and he touched the

ground slowly

did he immediately walk in your

direction

yes

please do imitate for us the walk

Fernando approaches the avocado tree and

walks back slowly

with stiff movements of his arms

far from his body

here he says indicating the ground He

Slipped twice on the limestone

were all of the man's movement so slow

no sometimes he moved fast but he seemed

to have difficulties in bending his arms

why do you think so

Fernando then produces some of the

gestures that being made

a series of hand gestures rapid

horizontal and circular

in reproducing the gesture of being

tired made by the being its hands

pressed together are not able to get too

close to its head

did the man also make movements with its

head

when he was looking and speaking to us

once in a while he moved his head very

much

but you've said that the man stopped on

this spot of the system when he arrived

there and then successively bent forward

to catch Marcos who was at the other

side of the system and so approximately

1.5 meters away from the man how could a

man reach so far

but he was very big

how big

the size of that door

he says pointing to his house

afterwards you pushed Marcos away from

the man what then did the latter do

he moved his hands like this

Fernando then reproduces the horizontal

rapid movements

after that my fear was gone

then he sat down here

the boy indicates the edge of the

cistern and shows how the man was

sitting with his shoulders to the boys

while he was looking up to the sphere

above the avocado tree I took up a piece

of brick from the ground to throw it at

him

when I raised my arm he turned around

quickly and a light reached my hand the

brick fell down and the Hand began to

tremble

what color was that light

yellowish

where did it come from

from an object on its chest

an object similar to what

I don't know exactly it had a

quadrangular form more or less

what did he do after this

seemingly he laughed

why seemingly

it was a strange laugh

his mouth moved much and opened this way

the boy then shows his mouth opening

vertically

how were the Man's eyes

he had only one

here

Fernando points to the base of his nose

and Ronaldo nods agreeing with him

did he have eyebrows

he had something like it above the eye

which moved once in a while when he was

frowning his forehead

and eyelashes as those of our own eyes

I have the impression that he had one

what color was his eye

it was dark

did he have that white part

no it was all dark and round like this

the boy then points to a sketch made

earlier by Marcos who had drawn the eye

about one inch in diameter circular in

shape and with a darker horizontal line

instead of the pupil

and how was his nose

I don't know

so you stayed to have seen his mouth and

eye and now you can't describe his nose

didn't you see two openings just above

the mouth

I don't remember to have seen a nose

and the ears what did they look like

I also didn't see them

how could you fail to see the ears if

the helmet was all transparent

I don't know his face was all the same

red all over the teeth they were quite

entirely White

he says with a certain admiration

he had these teeth here much bigger than

the other ones

pointing to his canines

Marco then interrupts

no the biggest ones were these ones

Marcos exclaims pointing to his lower

teeth

Fernando you told us you saw the face of

the man the color of his eye of his

teeth his clothes Etc

therefore the light bulb in the backyard

was on

it was off

how could you notice so many details if

the man had his back from the light

coming from the apparatus

but the light of the sphere was

Illuminating all this here

and there was also a little moonlight

and none of the neighbors came out of

their homes to see this light

I didn't see any neighbor coming out

into the backyards near our home

Fernando you've said that the man spoke

to you while making gestures did you

understand some of the words

no

do you think that the man's language was

similar to French English or any other

foreign language

I don't know

how was his voice

it was a very grave one

it was ten times greater than yours

Ronaldo interjects referring to the

professor Julio's voice

while the man was on the ground did you

see the apparatus balancing above the

tree

the apparatus didn't balance

and then what did the people still

inside it do

one man sitting in front moved his hands

at the inferior part of something

similar to a television set

Fernando then reproduces the movement of

hands moving swiftly over a keyboard

did you see any figures on this

television set

I was standing sideways but I could see

some lines passing

and the other people what did they do

they just kept sitting on their seats

on chairs

no

there were no chairs they were stalls

with one leg only

is it true that when the man walked away

and overheard marcos's question he made

movements with his head

as the man began to move away marquinos

asked me do you think he will come back

then the man made several movements with

his head

Marcos please repeat the question that

you asked Fernando

and you Fernando will you please then

imitate the man's movements

do you think he'll come back again

Marcos asks his friend

Fernando turns his head towards Marcos

and reproduces silently the movements

the being made with its head

now Fernando please do imitate the way

the man went away

Fernando walked slowly towards the

avocado tree

halfway there he stops leans to his left

and picks up a plant from the ground

what does that mean

in this spot the man bent down and

digged up a plant then he passed here

and raised his arms

Fernando then imitates the gesture

and the two luminous bands would

reappear

he ascended between them

until reaching the sphere

and then

the light of the sphere became more

intense and it began to ascend slowly

suddenly there was a flash of light and

the lights were Switched Off everywhere

the sphere disappeared here behind the

roof at that moment so it seemed the

wind blew

are you not certain about that

I felt something in the air which made

me think so

Fernando look around here how many

people are here to hear your story

around eight children from the

neighborhood who knew about the

detective's mission followed them and

were attending the interview

so in addition to the three children

their parents

before other small children and the

members of chikawani a small crowd had

formed around them attentive and silent

however the investigators noted that

Fernando and his friends continue to

maintain an unalterable spontaneity

don't you think that when you invented

such a tale you could hurt yourself as

well as your family

your parents already told me that your

story is not true

if they told you so I don't know this

but I am telling the truth

one of the last contacts with this story

and with the boys was an inspection by

two UFO enthusiasts in the Sagrada

Familia neighborhood in 2006.

led by an adult Marcos they retraced the

events of that fateful night

going through the metal gate there is

uncultivated land where the foundations

of an old house remain

not far away is a leafy avocado tree

it is still standing if it could speak

it too would tell us what happened that

night of August the 28th 1963. Marcos

comments almost dreamly

I haven't been here for several years

and despite what happened I have fond

memories of my childhood in this

neighborhood of simple people

there was the well and an old oil barrel

where I went to collect the water to

wash a coffee pot when it appeared

the man now 48 remembers his childhood

poor but happy playing with kites

spinning tops and earning some money to

help the family by carrying the

purchases of those who went to the

markets

it took me a little longer to see the

giant who was already walking on the

ground because my head was stuck in the

mouth of the well

later they would tell me that he had

descended between two downward

projecting yellow beams from the sphere

suspended in the air

the three men crossed the courtyard and

Marcos tells them the rest of the events

until they stop near the well

he come back again I had asked Fernando

and the being seemed to understand me

because we immediately saw how it nodded

its head answering my question I mean

they will come back again Marcos insists

staring at the avocado tree

the man explains that for a while the

boys avoided leaving the house at night

then fear turned into curiosity in the

hope of their return at least on his

part

I sat on the railing of the balcony of

my house looking at the sky hoping that

one day those beings would return

weren't you afraid of them coming back

asks one of the two UFO fans

no because if they had wanted to hurt us

they would have done it that

Unforgettable day

I think they wanted to see how we lived

what we did

[Music]

do you still have hope that they will

come back

hope Never Dies

I'd like to see them again

it was very nice to remember the event

in this place

even if there is very little left of my

friend's house

mine was that one the one on the corner

he points out emotionally

as I told you childhood brings me good

memories

experiences like these are never easy to

put behind us there are those who at all

costs want to go ahead and forget

everything and those who get stuck in

the past trying to relive the event

what is certain is that this experience

United the three boys even more

whether it was a simple courtesy visit

by some extraterrestrial alien form or

something more

that night an important case of ufology

took place in history

what remains apart from the footprints

still cemented in the courtyard are the

memories of a childhood a friendship and

a past that For Better or For Worse will

not go away anytime soon

as for the visitors however perhaps they

are still out there and as Marcos hopes

he would like to see them again

or maybe they have already come back

maybe not too far from the Sagrada

Familia neighborhood

thank you
