Last month, excerpts of the conclusions of the official military investigations on the “Varginha Case” were published by IstoE magazine. As would be expected, they caused quite a furor among enthusiasts because there Lt Col Lúcio Finholdt Pereira raised as “the most probable hypothesis” that a local with disabilities, known as “Luizinho” – or Little Luis:
“being probably dirty, due to the heavy rain, seen crouching against a wall, was mistaken by three terrified girls as a ‘creature from space’”.
In short, as can be seen in the comparison above, part of the military inquest, Little Luis was allegedly mistaken for an alien. Being that some local ufologists claim the Varginha Case is the best UFO evidence ever, the idea that it could be explained so simply is bound to be met with derision.
The bombshell brings to mind the official explanations for the Roswell case, including the claim that it was a Case Closed. It must be taken with a grain of salt. Here’s to our ordinary look at this new development, which from the start, is not actually new.
An Old Story
The “Varginha Incident” happened on January 20, 1996, when a “creature” was sighted by three girls ranging from 14 to 21 years old: sisters Liliane and Valquíria Silva, and their friend Kátia Xavier. According to their emotional description, it was a biped about 5 ft high, with a large head with three horns and very thin body, with V-shaped feet, brown skin, and large red eyes. It seemed to be wobbly or unsteady, and the girls assumed it was injured or sick. The creature was said to have a strong, unpleasant odor.
Soon the story spread through the town, and the next day it reached researcher Ubirajara Rodrigues, local lawyer and professor who is also a well-known ufologist. From there to the local and then to the national news, it was a matter of days.
The stories multiplied as the case was heavily promoted by the media, and in the end the “Varginha Incident” developed a full “chronology” that went from the detection by the NORAD (!) of a giant UFO which crashed in Brazil, to the capture of not one but several aliens which were then autopsied and finally sent to the US, as Brazil traded them for some unspecified favor from the Americans.
One of the first hypothesis Rodrigues investigated was that the girls could have mistaken Little Luis with an alien. In “O Caso Varginha” (2001), his 370-page work on the case, he tells how:
“At the site of their encounter with the unusual being, lives a man named Luiz, with serious mental problems. Little Luis walks around the block and is sit squatted. He doesn’t speak. On the first visit of the girls to the site, after the sighting, Little Luis approached and crouched, as he always does. Kátia took the opportunity to laugh, thinking it really funny the idea that they would have seen that young man and mistaken him by the creature they described. ‘Oh, I have even given him a cigarette, who doesn’t knows Little Luis? There’s no way we would mistake him for that’.”
