In 1977, a small fishing town in Brazil became the center of something out of a nightmare. The people of Colares were not just seeing strange lights in the sky. They were being hunted by them. Beams of light burned them, paralyzed them, and even drained blood and plasma like some kind of alien predator. Locals called them “Chupa Chupa,” meaning “suck suck,” because that is exactly what it felt like.

The Brazilian Air Force launched Operation Prato to investigate, capturing hundreds of photos and detailed reports, but most of the evidence was buried for decades. When the files finally started to surface, it became clear this was far more than simple UFO sightings. This was something calculated, something vampiric, and something that left real scars.

In this episode, I dive into the attacks, the military cover up, the theories on what these beings were, and why this story still shakes UFO researchers to this day. Was this an alien harvest, interdimensional predators, or something we still cannot wrap our heads around? Let’s find out.
