In January 1996, residents of the quiet Brazilian city of Varginha began reporting something unusual in the skies above their neighborhoods. Witnesses described a low-flying object—long, cylindrical, and trailing smoke—moving erratically over the city before disappearing from view. In the days that followed, the story took on a far stranger dimension, one that would transform a routine sighting into one of the most enduring and controversial UFO cases in modern history.
This week on The Micah Hanks Program, following a recent press conference held in Washington, D.C., involving a UAP case with international significance, we examine the famous Brazilian “Varginha Incident” and the reports from local civilians at the time who claimed to have encountered a small, non-human creature.
