Thanks for having me on! I've been researching Brazilian UFO cases for about ten years now, and there's one story that keeps me up at night. It happened in October 1957, to a young farmer named Carlos Ferreira. He's passed away now, died back in 1991, but before he did, he gave interviews. Medical examinations. Sworn statements. And here's the thing, he never changed a single detail. Not once in over thirty years. I need to tell you what happened to him because this case, it predates everything. It happened four years before Betty and Barney Hill. Four years before the world even knew what an alien abduction was supposed to look like. Carlos couldn't have been copying anyone. There was nothing to copy. So, Carlos was twenty-three years old in October 1957. His family owned a farm near São Francisco de Sales in Minas Gerais. Hot country, you know? Brutal during the day. So Carlos and his brothers, they'd work the fields at night sometimes, when it was cooler. Just him and a tractor and the stars.
The strange things started a few nights before the main event. October 5th, around eleven at night. Carlos was trying to sleep in the room he shared with his brother Pedro. He got up to open the window, and there in the farmyard, he saw this fluorescent silver light. Bright as anything. Just sitting there on the ground, no visible source. Then it started moving toward the house. Carlos slammed the shutters closed, woke Pedro up. They both watched as the light shone through the wooden slats, then down between the roof tiles. And then, nothing. It just went out like someone flipped a switch. Nine days later, October 14th, Carlos was ploughing with one of his other brothers. After nine-thirty at night. They saw a large round light hovering at the northern end of the field, maybe a hundred meters up. Red colored, so bright it hurt to look at. Carlos could tell there was something behind the light, something solid. He walked toward it, and the thing shot to the southern end of the field. He tried approaching it twenty times. Every single time, it moved. Then it started shooting out rays in all directions before it vanished.
The next night, October 15th, Carlos was out there alone. One in the morning, ploughing by himself. That's when he saw what looked like a red star, except it was getting bigger. Coming right at him. When it got close enough, he could see it was shaped like an elongated egg, glowing with this pale red light. It stopped right above his tractor, maybe fifty meters up. The whole area lit up like daylight. Then it moved in front of the tractor and started descending. Carlos could see it clearly now. Egg-shaped body surrounded by small purple lights. Square metal planes sticking out from the sides. Three metal spikes at the front, each with a red light above it. The center spike had this powerful red beam coming from it, like a headlight. And on top, there was a spinning dome. As the thing came down to land, that dome changed from red to green, and the spinning slowed down. Three metal legs extended from underneath. It touched down in the field. Carlos tried to drive away. The tractor went maybe a few meters before the engine died. Lights went out. Everything. So he jumped off and started running.
