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.

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.

Following the crash landing of a UFO just outside the city, citizens surrounding Varginha, Brazil began reporting sightings of bizarre, red-eyed creatures darting in and out of the forest. Before long these accounts began coming from the city proper and by the end of the day of January 20th, 1996, there would be dozens of eyewitnesses who claimed to have seen or come into direct contact with these tiny, inhuman entities…
