  Speaker 1: Today's story is about a disturbing discovery made in Brazil
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: in the nineteen eighties. Now, at the time, the Brazilian
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: government attempted to hide this story, saying it was just
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: too sensitive for the public to know about it. But
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: eventually photos of this discovery were leaked and it sent
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Brazil into a panic. Now, I'm not going to show
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: you any of the actual leaked photographs because they're just
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: too graphic, but I will be describing them in some
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: detail towards the end of this video, so viewer discretion
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: is advised. But before we get into that story, if

• 0:56
  Speaker 1: let's get into today's story. On the afternoon of September
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: twenty ninth, nineteen eighty eight, a ten year old boy
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: named Francisco was walking along the perimeter of a man
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: made lake in southern Brazil while poking the ground with
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: his stick. Francisco was doing one of his favorite after
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: school activities, which was looking for bugs, and this lake,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: which was a part of the Billing's reservoir in the
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Brazilian state of Seal Paulo, was his favorite place to
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: do that. And the reservoir was gigantic, but it was
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: not shaped like a typical circular lake. Instead, it was
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: more like a big river that kind of wound around
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: and had all these skinny branches kind of jutting off
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the sides of it. And on this particular day, Francisco
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: was walking along one of those skinny offshoots of this lake,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: where at certain points, if Francisco wanted to, he could
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: literally swim to the other side of the lake in
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: a matter of minutes. Now, Francisco knew he was not
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: really supposed to be anywhere near this reservoir because in
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: recent years, gangs from the nearby cities would bring their
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: murder victims out to this reservoir and bury them here,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and so locals knew it was not a safe place
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and to stay clear. But Francisco, he didn't listen to
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: any of that because he loved walking around this lake
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and looking for bugs, and so he thought, you know what,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: no one's harmed me yet, so what's the big deal.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: And so as Francisco casually walked along, poking at the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: mud looking for his bugs, he finally saw one. It
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: was a huge water scorpion, almost two inches long. And
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: so immediately Francisco, without taking his eyes off the bug,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: drops his backpack, grabs a clear container that he kept
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: in the side pocket. He opened it up, he bent down,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: and he scooped up this water scorpion and capped it,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: and then he brought the container up and looked inside
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: to kind of admire his new pet. And as he
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: was staring at this container, he noticed something odd on
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the other side of the lake. He basically saw it
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: through the plas container, and so he lowered the container
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: to get a better look at this strange thing on
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the other side of the water. And what he saw
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: was this big group of vultures, all kind of standing
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: in a circle right on the water's edge. And immediately
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Francisco was way more interested in these vultures than in
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: his bug, because vultures meant there had to be a
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: dead thing nearby, because vultures are scavengers and so whatever
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: they were circled around was probably a dead animal. But
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Francisco he looked around and realized there was no way
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: to get to the other side of the water to
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: see whatever this dead thing was unless he swam, and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: he knew if he went back home with soaking wet clothes,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: his mom would know he had snuck to the reservoir
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: and he'd be in lots of trouble, and so, feeling
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: really frustrated, Francisco just picked up a rock and chucked
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: it to the other side, trying to splash the water
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: near the vultures to get them to fly away so
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: he could see the dead thing. But the first rocky
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: through did not really have an effect. The vultures just
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: kind of turned around and looked at him and then
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: went back to whatever was on the grind And so
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Francisco gathered a big pile of like twenty five rocks
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and began throwing them one after the other at the cultures,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and finally Francisco had caused enough chaos on the other
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: side of the water that the vultures got upset, and
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: they took to the air and they flew away, and
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: finally Francisco got a clear view of the dead thing
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: that was in the middle of the circle of vultures. Now, initially,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Francisco thought this dead thing was going to be maybe
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: a bird or some other small animal from the area.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: But when he got a good look at this dead
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: thing from thirty feet away, it didn't look like either
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: of those things. It didn't have fur, it didn't have feathers.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: It actually looked kind of pale, almost like a pig.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: But Francisco's thinking to himself, why would a pig be
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: all the way out here? And then it slowly dawned
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: on Francisco that what he was looking at was actually
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: a dead person. Suddenly terrified, Francisco scooped up his things,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: turned around, and ran to the nearest village, where he
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: began screaming for help. Within a few hours, the area
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: along the water where the vultures had been and where
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: this body was was swarming with police and also with
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: curious villagers. Normally, when a body was discovered in or
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: near this reservoir, which unfortunately happened quite a bit because
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: of all the recent gang violence, police would often break
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: ranks from the investigation and walk over to the local
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: onlookers and kind of fill them in and tell them,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: you know, who this person was and what they think happened.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: But this time it was totally different. The police were
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: totally secretive and it was really obvious. The police immediately
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: roped off the entire area with crime scene tape, and
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: then the police officers stood in a circle shoulder to shoulder,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: blocking the view of the villagers so they couldn't see
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the body. And then when villagers actually walked up to
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: police and said, hey, can you tell us what's going on?
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: The police would say they couldn't talk about it, and
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: then they would tell the villagers to back up and
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: stay away. Locals would stick around for a while, being
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: treated this way the entire time by police, and then finally,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: when the sun started to go down and it was
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: clear the police were very committed to hiding what was
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: going on, whoever was still there finally just left, figuring
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: when they got home they could just turn on the
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: news and see what had happened with this dead person.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: But when they got home and turned on their TV,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: there was not one news story about this body, and
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: At a minimum, this story should have dominated local news,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: but it somehow was not being talked about. And then
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: even stranger was the next morning, when locals got up,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: they headed back to the reservoir to see what the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: police were up to. And when they got there, they
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: found the police were gone, the body was gone, and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: there was absolutely no trace that anyone or anything had
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: ever been there. It was like it had been totally
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: sanitized for days. Locals in this area continued to check
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the TV news, they checked the radio, the newspapers for
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: some story, some bit of information about this dead body
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: that was found, but again there was just absolutely nothing,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: and it just made no sense. Why wasn't anyone talking
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: about this? And so eventually, in the absence of any
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: official information about what happened, a rumor began to circulate
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: among locals that the body belonged to a local fisherman
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: who had gone missing three days before Francisco discovered him.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: And this fisherman apparently he was an alcoholic, and he
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: had gone to the reservoir and he had begun drinking,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: and apparently he drank so much that it killed him.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Now many people wondered, you know, if this drunk fisherman
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: story was the real story, then, why were the police
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: so secretive about the body, and why weren't they willing
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: to give up any information to the crowd about what
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: had happened to this guy. I mean, a drunk fisherman
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: is not a super sensitive thing. It just seemed like
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: that doesn't line up with the police's behavior. But questions
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: like these remained unanswered, and after several weeks of still
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: no new information, no news coverage anywhere, even the most
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: skeptical of villagers who really thought there's something weird going
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: on here, they just kind of forgot about it and
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: moved on hills. Six years later, in nineteen ninety four,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: when someone we don't know who from the Brazilian government
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: decided they just couldn't keep the secret any longer, and
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: so they gathered up some photos and an autopsy report
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: they were not supposed to have, and they smuggled those
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: things to the media. And once the media published these things,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: it became immediately clear that the dead man who was
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: found in the reservoir in nineteen eighty eight was not
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: a drunk fisherman who drank himself to death, nor was
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: he the victim of gang violence. Instead, it appeared that
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: this person's death could potentially be paranormal. If you're a
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: fan of the strange, dark and mysterious delivered in story format,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: then you gotta listen to the brand new Ballin Studios
• 8:48

• 9:20
  Speaker 1: episodes every single Wednesday. Here's a clip from this week's episode,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: called Without a Trace.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: The northwestern state of Alaska remains one of America's most
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: unsettled and unexplored regions. It is a place of wonder
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: and mystery, but also of great danger, with roughly two
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: and a half thousand people going missing there every year,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: and one settlement situated far to the west of the
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: state remains the setting for some of the most bizarre
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: of these disappearances.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: But before we dive into the significance of those leaked
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: photos and the leaked autopsy report, you need to understand
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: a weird aspect of Brazil's history. Brazil has an absolutely
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: astounding number of sightings of unidentified flying objects or UFOs
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: for short. And these are not your typical UFO stories
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: where some person claims they saw aliens or they were
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: abducted by aliens, but they have no witnesses, they have
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: no proof, they have nothing but their own story. Now,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: in Brazil, the bulk of their UFO sightings are reported
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: by their military, because Brazil actually has a government program
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: to monitor UFO sightings because it happens so much in
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: their country. In fact, the Brazilian government was directly involved
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: in one of the most famous UFO sightings of all time.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: It was called the Night of the UFOs sighting or
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: sightings because it actually happened in four different Brazilian states simultaneously.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Happened on May nineteenth, nineteen eighty six, which was two
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: years before Francisco spotted the dead body in the reservoir.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: On that nineteen eighty six day, at around eight fifteen pm,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: an air traffic controller at an international airport in sal
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Paulo noticed three red lights hovering over the airport, and
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: so the controller called it in and asked, you know,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: what are these things? But nobody knew, And at the
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: exact same time, all across Brazil, dozens and dozens of
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: other people who have no idea what's happening at this
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: international airport began reporting that they too were seeing strange
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: lights in the sky. And many of these reports of
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: these lights were coming from military personnel and government officials,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: and so this was like a really big deal that,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: like all across Brazil, everybody seeing lights in the sky,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: and so the government, in response to this, scrambled their
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: fighter jets and sent the jets up to try to
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: intercept one of these sets of lights, just to see
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: who or what they were and potentially shoot them down
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: if they had to. But when these jets got anywhere
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: close to these unidentified flying objects, these lights in the sky,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: these UFOs would move away like instantly. One UFO was
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: observed suddenly disappearing and then reappearing twenty miles away in
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: just five seconds, which meant that UFO had to travel
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: at least five times the speed of sound to cover
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: that distance in such a short amount of time for reference.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Humans are not capable of going that fast. We cannot
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: do that. Eventually, the Night of the UFOs ended, when
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: all these UFOs, these lights in the sky just kind
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: of suddenly vanished. And then a couple of days later,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the Brazilian government held this big press conference about the
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: event and they would say, we have no idea what
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: those lights were or where they came from. We have
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: no clue. However, whoever or whatever was controlling these the
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: UFOs showed obvious signs of intelligence. Now, as mind blowing
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: as that would be to hear that, to hear that
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: potentially intelligent creatures are flying around your airspace. Remember this
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: is Brazil, where UFO sightings were kind of the norm,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: and so people were definitely shocked by this. This was
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: a terrifying thing, but they just kind of accepted what
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: they were told and assumed, you know, the government will
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: handle this, and people moved on with their lives. That
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: is until several years later, in nineteen ninety four, when
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: those photos and the autopsy report of the dead person
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: in the reservoir were leaked, and then suddenly the people
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: of Brazil they're seeing the stuff and they're realizing wait
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: a minute, The night of the UFOs may not have
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: been an isolated instance. Those UFOs may never have left.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Here is what the public learned from the leaked photos
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: and the leaked autopsy report. Back in nineteen eighty eight,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: when Little Francisco spotted the dead body from the other
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: side of the water, he correct identified that it was
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: a man's body. But Francisco had been wrong when he
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: told authorities that it didn't look like this guy had
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: any visible injuries on him, and the guy was naked,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: and so Francisco felt pretty confident that he would have
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: seen something if the guy was wounded. But when the
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: police arrived and they saw the body up close, they
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: immediately saw he had several very serious and very strange
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: physical injuries. He had these four perfectly circular one to
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: one and a half inch diameter holes drilled into his body.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: There were two right above his chest, basically sitting above
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: his armpit. There was one that was right over his
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: belly button, so his belly button was gone, it was
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: just a hole where it had been. And there was
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: also one in his crutch. And these holes were not
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: crudely done. These were done with surgical precision, almost like
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: whoever had done it was using high end medical tools
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: to make these cuts. Now, at first glance, the authorities
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: had no no idea why these holes were on this
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: guy's body, But when the autopsy was done, they discovered
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: this man was missing the majority of his internal organs,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: and after doing some investigating, they discovered that all of
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: his organs had literally been vacuumed out of him through
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: these holes on his body. Those holes were basically just
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: ports to pull things out of him. Also, most of
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: the man's blood had been suctioned out of those holes
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: as well. But that wasn't all. The man also had
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: one of his ears removed, one of his eyes was removed,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: and the lower part of his face was also removed.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: And again, all of these cuts looked like they had
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: been made with absolute surgical precision. But perhaps the most
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: brutal aspect of all the things that came to light
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: when these documents were leaked was something that unless you
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: looked really closely at the autopsy report, you wouldn't necessarily notice,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: and it had to do with this man's vagus nerve.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Your vegus nerve is something that controls part of your
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: nervous system that's responsible for automatic functions like heart rate
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: and digestion, And so when your body is suddenly in
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: great distress, like suddenly you're fighting for your life or something,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: your vegus nerve can basically shut off those automatic functions
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: like digestion in order to ensure all your energy is
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: going towards fighting for your life. But in this dead
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: man's case, his autopsy revealed that his vegus nerve had
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: gone absolutely wild right at the moment of his death.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: It's complicated, but this suggests that this man was very
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: likely alive when his face was being surgically cut off
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: and those holes were being drilled into his body and
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: his organs were being vacuumed out, and then at some point,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: the excruciating pain that came from these horrible things happening
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: to him got so so bad his vagus nerve basically
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: turned off his heart. So it was not these horrible
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: physical injuries that killed him. He literally died from the
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: pin of these physical injuries. In short, his body basically
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: killed itself to avoid feeling the pain it was feeling.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: So I'm sure you're wondering, how does the dead man
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: in the reservoir and these leaked photos and the autopsy report.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: How does all of that connect with the Night of
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: the UFOs, which happened two years before the man in
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: the reservoir was even found. Well following the Night of
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the UFOs, in nineteen eighty six, farmers in Brazil who
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: lived in the areas where these famous sightings took place,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: began reporting that their cattle were dying kind of inexplicably.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: And this began happening with enough frequency in all of
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: these areas where the Ufo sightings had taken place that
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: a theory began to develop in Brazil that maybe the
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: UFOs that were here during the Night of the UFOs
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: have something to do with all these cows turning up dead.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: And as that theory began to take hold all across Brazil,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: that you know, UFOs killing our cattle, another theory began
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: to come out of that one, which was, well, if
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: the UFOs are coming in here and killing cattle, what's
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: stopping them from killing people? And then in nineteen eighty eight,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: so two years after the Night of the UFOs, and
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: right in the middle of all these farmers all across
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Brazil saying their cows were dying for no reason, the
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: dead man in the reservoir was discovered, and as soon
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: as the government saw the physical condition this guy was in,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: with the weird holes drilled in his body and his
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: organs missing and his face pulled off, that, plus the
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: fact that he was located in this reservoir, which by
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: the way, was in a night of the UFO's sighting area,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: the government decided they would have to hide the story.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: A critical detail that I have left out intentionally until
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: right now is that the cattle who were turning up dead,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: they were turning up dead with circular holes drilled into
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: their bodies, with organs missing and parts of their faces removed.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Meaning clearly, whatever was happening to these cattle inside of
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: these sighting areas had happened to this man in the reservoir,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: and if that got out to the public, then it
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: would confirm for many people in Brazil that Yep, the UFOs,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: they're the ones going after the cattle, and now they're
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: going after us too. And so this was why the
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: police were so secretive about the body and not letting
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: anybody see it or learn anything about it. And it
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: was also why no news was run anywhere in Brazil
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: about the story. It's because the government was really trying
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: to make sure it did not get out, and the
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: government was able to keep it quiet until nineteen ninety
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: four when those photos and the autopsy report released. But
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: like all things having to do with UFOs or aliens
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: or paranormal stuff, it's like, despite the evidence, those things
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: very quickly are pushed into the kind of conspiracy theory
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: bucket and they stay there. People do not want to
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: touch that category. So even though Brazil remains an absolute
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: hotbed for UFO sightings, Kipedia even has a page dedicated
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: just to tracking Brazilian UFO sightings. Despite all that, no
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: one really cares. But if you care, there is an
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: unbelievable amount of information online about what's going on in Brazil,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: and if nothing else, it is just a fascinating rabbit
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: hole to fall into. So that's going to do it.
