    The Varginha Incident: Brazil’s Roswell

    In January 1996, a quiet Brazilian city became the center of one of the most disturbing and controversial paranormal cases on record. What began as three sisters encountering a strange, non-human creature in a residential neighborhood quickly escalated into military convoys, sealed hospital wings, anonymous medical testimony, and the sudden death of a young military police officer. Often referred to as “Brazil’s Roswell,” the Varginha Incident is a story of eyewitnesses who never recanted, officials who offered explanations that didn’t match the response, and a community left with more questions than answers. Drawing heavily from the documentary Moment of Contact, this episode breaks down the timeline, the witnesses, the government’s claims, and why so many people believe the truth was buried. This isn’t just a UFO story — it’s a case about secrecy, power, and what happens when official narratives don’t align with lived experience. Government cover-ups. Strange creatures. Medical anomalies. You decide what happened. Got a story to tell? Send it in for the next episode of Boo's Clues! And help spread the word!
