This is the fourth part in a series looking at an early Brazilian abduction case. In 1969, José Antônio Da Silva reported that on May 4, in Bebedouro, near the Brazilian town of Pedro Leopoldo, he was taken aboard a craft by three hairy dwarves, one of whom shot a beam of light that hit him in the legs and paralyzed them. He said that he was flown through space, and that they landed at a place where he saw human bodies, drawings of animals on the walls, and answered questions put to him about Earth. According to him, he was taken back to Earth and left off at Colatina, 350km east of Pedro Leopoldo. The case was reported in a Brazilian newspaper article that was quoted in its entirety by Gordon Creighton in the November-December 1971 issue of Flying Saucer Review. In parts 2 and 3 we looked at the report of the principle investigator, Húlvio Brant Aleixo, who formed the very first Brazilian UFO organization in 1954. His report appears in the article “Abduction at Bebedouro” published in the December 1973 issue (page 7 of pdf) of Flying Saucer Review. We noted some major differences in the accounts and got as far as Da Silva being taken off the craft and finding himself in a room where he saw pictures on a wall, four human-looking bodies, and 10-12 small, long-haired, bearded men, one of whom stood five meters in front of him and seemed to be the “chief.” Read more →

This is the third part in a series looking at an early abduction case reported in Brazil.

He said this took place in Bebedouro, near the Brazilian town of Pedro Leopoldo, that he was flown through space, that they landed at a place where he saw human bodies, drawings of animals on the walls, and answered questions put to him about Earth. According to him, he was taken back to Earth and left off at Colatina, 350km east of Pedro Leopoldo. The case was reported in a Brazilian newspaper that was directly quoted by Gordon Creighton in an article in the November-December 1971 issue of Flying Saucer Review.

In last week’s blog, we looked at the case of José Antônio Da Silva who, in 1969, reported that he was taken aboard a flying saucer by three hairy dwarves, one of whom shot a beam of light that hit him in the legs and paralyzed them. He said this took place in Bebedouro, near the Brazilian town of Pedro Leopoldo, that he was flown through space, that they landed at a place where he saw human bodies, drawings of animals on the walls, and answered questions put to him about Earth. According to him, he was taken back to Earth and left off at Colatina, 350km east of Pedro Leopoldo. His story was reported in the November-December 1971 issue of Flying Saucer Review in an article by Gordon Creighton, who quoted directly from a Brazilian newspaper article and then commented that the creatures had tricked Da Silva into believing he’d been to space. We noted that this fitted in with Creighton’s beliefs based on the ideas of Jacques Vallée, John Keel, and particularly those of anthroposophy. This week, we’ll look at the case as reported by Brazilian investigator Húlvio Brant Aleixo, who formed the very first Brazilian UFO organization in 1954, around the same time as the first United States organizations.
