January, 1996 Varginha Brazil: Numerous people witness a UFO in distress and eventually crash. The following day, a number of locals including a group of girls ranging in age from 14-21 have a close encounter with a being described as about 4 feet tall with a large head and huge red eyes.

The town of Varginha was cordoned off by military and emergency response teams - two creatures were captured. Local military policeman Marco Cherese died under mysterious circumstances after allegedly handling one of these creatures. In 2013 the 701 team met with his family and many other witnesses in the town who revealed startling new details. This case remains one of Brazil’s most compelling close encounters of the third kind.
