Brazil is certainly no stranger to UFO sightings and Extraterrestrial events. In 1996, Varginha, Brazil, became the focal point of a widely reported UFO incident. Multiple witnesses from all walks of life claimed to have seen odd, vaguely humanoid creatures in the area. Amidst the sightings (and smellings), local military personnel were deployed, sparking speculation of a government cover-up. Despite official denials and some conflicting accounts, the 1996 Varginha Incident is one of our favourite UFO stories so far.
