A groundbreaking revelation has emerged from Brazil, reigniting one of the most extraordinary UFO stories of all time – the 1996 Varginha incident, often called “The Roswell of Brazil.” In an updated version of his documentary Moment of Contact, filmmaker James Fox reveals an astonishing firsthand account from a Brazilian neurosurgeon who claims to have physically examined and telepathically communicated with a live alien being held in a hospital under military control.
The confession, coming nearly 30 years after the event, has been described by UFO investigators as one of the most compelling testimonies ever recorded – and potentially world-changing if verified.
The story begins on January 13, 1996, when a pilot named Carlos de Souza witnessed a strange cigar-shaped craft trailing vapor and losing altitude near Varginha, a small city in southeastern Brazil. The object eventually crashed in a nearby field, leaving debris that witnesses described as light, metallic, and self-healing – bending easily but returning to its original shape.
Military trucks soon arrived, cordoned off the area, and ordered civilians to leave at gunpoint. Within hours, the site was under complete military control. According to multiple eyewitnesses, the Brazilian army took over the wreckage, and several sources later claimed that American officials were also involved in the recovery and transport of the materials.
Just a few days later, on January 20, 1996, three young women – Lilian, Valkíria, and Kátia – were walking through a partially built neighborhood when they saw a strange creature crouched by a wall. It was small, about 1.5 meters tall, with oily brown skin, large red eyes, and three protruding lumps on its head.
When the being turned to look directly at them, the girls felt an intense psychic presence – as though it was silently asking for help. Terrified, they ran away and reported the encounter to their families. Within hours, the story spread throughout Varginha, drawing attention from the media and local police.
That same evening, military police officer Marco Eli Chereze and his colleague responded to reports of another creature spotted nearby. When Chereze attempted to capture it, he reportedly wrestled the weak and frightened being into a car, sustaining a small scratch under his arm and coming into contact with a strange oily substance on its skin.
Days later, Chereze fell severely ill. His condition worsened rapidly, and despite extensive treatment, he died from a mysterious infection. The pathologists who examined his tissues later testified that the bacteria responsible behaved unlike anything known to science – resistant to every treatment and never observed before or since.
The most extraordinary revelation, however, came decades later from Dr. Italo Venturelli, the head neurosurgeon at the Regional Hospital of Varginha. In an emotional on-camera interview with filmmaker James Fox, Dr. Venturelli revealed that he had direct physical contact with one of the captured beings.
According to Venturelli, the creature was alive but injured and had been secretly brought to the hospital under heavy military guard. He described the being as pale-skinned, with large red eyes, small horn-like bumps, and a calm yet powerful presence.
In his words, “It communicated with me — not with words, but through thought. It was like speaking without speaking.”
He said that during the four minutes he spent with the alien, he sensed a deep intelligence and empathy, describing it as “angelic” and possessing a higher level of consciousness than humans.
Moments later, armed soldiers burst into the room, seized the being, and ordered everyone present to remain silent under threat. Venturelli and his colleagues were warned never to discuss the incident.
Dr. Venturelli remained silent for nearly three decades. But after suffering a heart attack in 2024 and believing he might die, he decided he could not take the secret to his grave. “I’m doing this for my grandchildren,” he told Fox. “The world deserves to know the truth.”
He now stands by his testimony, offering to take a lie detector test and testify publicly before Congress or the Brazilian Parliament. His story is backed by hospital staff, pathologists, and local officials, many of whom confirm unusual activity that night – including the smell of ammonia throughout the hospital and the arrival of military trucks using the back entrance.
Fox’s investigation uncovered additional evidence of American military involvement. Former police chief Pedro Auar and other witnesses reported that U.S. helicopters and personnel were seen at nearby military bases, including ESA in Campinas, where the beings and debris were allegedly transported.
A U.S. Air Force plane reportedly landed in Brazil without official clearance, and a Freedom of Information request later revealed the event was classified as a national security matter by the CIA.
Local witnesses also reported being threatened and bribed by “men in dark suits” to retract their stories – with some told to claim that the alien was merely a “disabled homeless man.” Despite the pressure, none of the witnesses have ever retracted their accounts.
Forensic experts who examined tissue samples from Officer Chereze’s infection reported that the bacteria was unlike any terrestrial strain, showing resilience to all known antibiotics. This discovery adds a biological dimension to the mystery – suggesting that the beings may carry completely foreign microbiology.
If confirmed, this would represent the first documented case of cross-species contamination from a non-human organism, raising both scientific and ethical implications for contact protocols.
Dr. Venturelli’s testimony is more than a medical account – it’s an act of moral courage. His emotional description of compassion for the captive being contrasts sharply with the secrecy and fear surrounding the case.
Filmmaker James Fox praises the doctor’s bravery, calling him “the kind of whistleblower humanity needs.” Fox reports that several other doctors and military officers are now considering coming forward to support Venturelli’s claims.
The revelations come amid a growing global movement for UAP disclosure, with U.S. scientists like Dr. Eric Davis calling for presidential action to waive secrecy agreements and allow officials to testify under oath about what they know.
As Moment of Contact prepares for re-release in late 2025 – just before the 30th anniversary of the Varginha incident – anticipation is building worldwide. The film’s new footage, witness interviews, and government documents may finally bring the case into mainstream historical recognition.
Whether skeptics or believers, few can deny that Dr. Italo Venturelli’s confession marks a turning point. If his account holds true, it represents not only contact with an extraterrestrial intelligence — but also a profound test of humanity’s readiness for truth.
The Varginha incident stands as one of the most extraordinary and well-documented UFO encounters ever recorded. The confession of a respected neurosurgeon who studied a live alien being, coupled with corroborative military and medical testimony, pushes the case far beyond rumor into the realm of historical significance.
If verified, Dr. Venturelli’s encounter will not just rewrite the story of UFOs – it may redefine our understanding of life, intelligence, and consciousness in the universe.
