THE CLOSEST ENCOUNTER EVER.
|
|
|
|
One of the puzzling features of so many UFO incidents is their
|
|
apparent pointlessness. Yet a Brazilian farmer was allegedly
|
|
abducted by humanoids for a startling purpose: to have sex with
|
|
a being from another planet - -
|
|
|
|
One of the earliest reports of an alleged abduction by
|
|
humanoids was kept secret for over three years because it was
|
|
deemed too 'wild' by those who first interviewed the abductee.
|
|
This amazing case first became known when the victim, known
|
|
only as A.V.B. to preserve his anonymity, wrote to Joao
|
|
Martins, a Brazilian journalist, and his medical friend, Dr
|
|
Olavo T. Fontes, towards the end of 1957. The man with the
|
|
strange story was a young farmer who lived near the small town
|
|
of Sao Francisco de Sales in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Intrigued,
|
|
Martins and Fontes sent the farmer some financial aid so that
|
|
he could make the long journey to the city of Rio de Janeiro,
|
|
where the investigation began on 22 February 1958 in Dr Fontes'
|
|
consulting room.
|
|
The story that unfolded was, the investigators felt. so
|
|
astonishing that they decided to keep it 'on ice' in case a
|
|
similar incident occurred that might corroborate any of the
|
|
details. They also feared that if the account became widely
|
|
known, there would be a rash of 'copycat' cases, which would
|
|
end up invalidating the story. But a few details did leak out
|
|
- fortunately in the right direction - for the outline of the
|
|
tale reached the ears of Dr Walter Buhler in 1961. As a result,
|
|
he began to make his own detailed investigation.
|
|
The Buhler report eventually appeared as a newsletter and
|
|
this, translated by Gordon Creighton and supplemented with
|
|
editorial comments, appeared in 'Flying Saucer Review', in
|
|
January 1965. Very soon after, Joao Martin's account was
|
|
published in the Spanish language edition - not the Portuguese,
|
|
as might have been expected - of the Brazilian magazine 'O
|
|
Cruzeiro'. Finally, the full case, including the results of
|
|
various detailed clinical reports, was included in 'The
|
|
Humanoids', a collection of accounts of encounters with UFO
|
|
occupants, in 1969. At least, the story that had been thought
|
|
too 'wild' to be made known to the public was in print and
|
|
'A.V.B. was revealed to be 23-year-old Antonio Villas Boas.
|
|
|
|
UNIDENTIFIED LIGHTS
|
|
The actual abduction of Antonio Villas Boas was heralded by
|
|
two unusual events. The first took place on 5 October 1957,
|
|
when he and his brother were retiring to bed at about 11 pm.
|
|
after a party. From their bedroom window, they saw an
|
|
unidentified light in the farmyard below. It moved up on to the
|
|
roof of their house, and together they watched it shine through
|
|
the slats of the shutters and the gaps in the tiles (there was
|
|
no proper ceiling) before it departed.
|
|
The second strange incident occurred on 14 October at about
|
|
9.30 p.m. when the Villas Boas brothers were out ploughing with
|
|
their tractor. They suddenly saw a dazzling light, "big and
|
|
round". about 100 yards (90 metres) above one end of the field.
|
|
Antonio went over for a closer look, but - as if playing games
|
|
with him - the light moved swiftly to the other end of the
|
|
field, a manoeuvre it repeated two or three times. The young
|
|
farmer tried to get a closer look at it. Then the light
|
|
abruptly vanished.
|
|
The following night, 15 October, Antonio was out in the
|
|
field again, ploughing alone by the light of his headlamps.
|
|
Suddenly, at about 1 a.m., he became aware of a "large red
|
|
star" that seemed to be descending towards the end of the
|
|
field. As it came nearer, he saw that it was in fact a luminous
|
|
egg-shaped object. The UFO's approach brought it right
|
|
overhead, about 50 yards (45 metres) above the tractor. The
|
|
whole field then became as bright as if it were broad daylight.
|
|
Villas Boas sat in his cab, transfixed with fear as the
|
|
object landed about 45 feet (15 metres) in front of him. He saw
|
|
a rounded object with a distinct rim that was apparently
|
|
clustered with purple lights. A huge round headlamp on the side
|
|
facing seemed to be producing the "daylight" effect. There was
|
|
a revolving cupola on top, and, as he watched, fascinated, he
|
|
saw three shafts - or "legs" - emerge and reach for the ground.
|
|
At this, the terrified farmer started to drive off but after a
|
|
short distance, the engine stopped, despite the fact that it
|
|
had been running smoothly. Villas Boas found he could not
|
|
restart it and, in a panic, he leapt from the cab and set off
|
|
across the heavily ploughed field.
|
|
|
|
HELMETED ALIENS.
|
|
The deep ruts proved a handicap to his escape and he had
|
|
gone only a few paces when someone grabbed his arm. As he turned,
|
|
he was astonished to see a strangely garbed individual whose
|
|
helmeted head reached only to Villas Boas' shoulder. He hit out
|
|
at the humanoid, who was knocked flying, but he was quickly
|
|
grabbed by three other aliens who lifted him from the ground as
|
|
he struggled and shouted. he later said, when revealing details
|
|
about the extraordinary experience:
|
|
"I noticed that, as they were dragging me towards the
|
|
machine, my speech seemed to arouse their surprise or
|
|
curiosity, for they stopped and peered attentively at my face
|
|
as I spoke, though without loosening their grip on me. This
|
|
relieved me a little as to their intentions, but I still did
|
|
not stop struggling".
|
|
As he was carried to the craft, a ladder descended from a
|
|
door, and his captors hoisted him up with great difficulty,
|
|
especially as he tried to resist by hanging on to a kind of
|
|
handrail. But, in the end, they succedded.
|
|
Once inside the machine, Villas Boas found himself in a
|
|
square room with metallic walls, brightly lit by small, high
|
|
lamps. He was set down on his feet, and became aware that
|
|
there were five small beings, two of whom held him firmly. One
|
|
signalled that he shoud be taken through to an adjoining room,
|
|
which was larger, and oval in shape, with a metal column that
|
|
reached from floor to ceiling, together with a table and some
|
|
swivel chairs set to one side.
|
|
A "conversation" then ensued between his captors, who made
|
|
sounds like dogs barking. As Villas Boas put it:
|
|
"Those sounds were totally different from anything I had
|
|
heard until now. They were slow barks and yelps, neither very
|
|
clear nor very hoarse, some longer, some shorter, at times
|
|
containing several different sounds all at once, and at other
|
|
times ending in a quaver. But they were simply sounds, animal
|
|
barks, and nothing could be distinguished that could be taken
|
|
as the sound of a syllable or word of a foreign language. Not a
|
|
thing! To me it all sounded alike, so that I am unable to
|
|
retain a word of it... I still shudder when I think of those
|
|
sounds. I can't reproduce them... my voice just isn't made for
|
|
that."
|
|
|
|
HANDLED BY HUMANOIDS.
|
|
This strange communication ceased abruptly, when all five set
|
|
about him, stripping him of his clothing while he shouted and
|
|
struggled - but to no avail. (Apparently they stopped to peer
|
|
at him whenever he yelled; and, strangely, although they seemed
|
|
to be using force, at no time did they hurt him.)
|
|
The beings were all dressed in tight-fitting grey overalls
|
|
and large, broad helmets, reinforced at back and front with
|
|
bands of metal. There were also apertures through which Villas
|
|
Boas could see light-coloured eyes. Three tubes emerged from
|
|
the top of each helmet, the central one running down the back
|
|
and entering the clothing in line with spine; the other two,
|
|
curved away to enter the clothes, one beneath each armpit. The
|
|
sleeves ended in thick gloves, which seemed stiff at the
|
|
fingers. The trouser part fitted closely over seat, thighs and
|
|
lower legs, and the footwear seemed an integral part of this
|
|
section, the soles being very thick - about 2 inches (5
|
|
centimetres). On his chest, each being had a kind of
|
|
breastplate or "shield", which was about the size of a slice of
|
|
pineapple. It reflected light, and was joined to a belt at the
|
|
waist by a strip of laminated metal.
|
|
The naked and shivering farmer - it was a chilly night
|
|
outside, and no warmer in the craft - stood there quaking and
|
|
"worried to death". He wondered what on earth was going to
|
|
happen to him now. One of the little creatures approached him
|
|
with what seemed to be a sort of wet sponge, which he rubbed
|
|
all over Villas Boas' skin. As he later put it: "The liquid was
|
|
as clear as water, but quite thick, and without smell. I
|
|
thought it was some sort of oil, but was wrong, for my skin did
|
|
not become greasy or oily".
|
|
He was now led to another door, which had an inscription in
|
|
red over it. He tried to memorise this, although it meant
|
|
nothing to him, since it was in unknown characters. In yet
|
|
another room, one of the beings approached with a sort of
|
|
chalice from which dangled two flexible tubes. One of these,
|
|
with a capped end like a child's suction 'arrow', was fixed to
|
|
his chin, while the other tube was pumped up and down. The
|
|
alarmed Villas Boas watched the chalice fill with what was
|
|
presumably his own blood. The creature then left him alone, as
|
|
he sat on a soft couch contemplating the nightmarish situation
|
|
in which he found himself.
|
|
Suddenly, he smelt a strange odour, which made him feel
|
|
sick. He examined the walls and saw metallic tubes a just below
|
|
ceiling level. Grey smoke was coming through perforations in
|
|
the tubes. Villas Boas rushed to a corner of the room and
|
|
vomited, after which he felt a little less frightened. Moments
|
|
later, there was a noise at the door. which opened to reveal a
|
|
creature just like a woman. As Villas Boas gaped, the woman
|
|
walked towards him. Flabbergasted, he suddenly realised she was
|
|
naked, too.
|
|
The woman, said Villas Boas, was more beautiful than anyone
|
|
he had met before. She was shorter than he, her head reaching
|
|
only to his shoulder - he is 5 feet 5 inches (1.65 metres). Her
|
|
hair was smooth, and very fair, almost white, and as though
|
|
bleached. Parted in the centre, it reached halfway down her
|
|
neck, with ends curling inwards. Her eyes were large, blue and
|
|
elongated, "slanted outwards". Her small nose was straight,
|
|
neither pointed nor turned up. She had high cheekbones, but -
|
|
as Villas Boas discovered - they were soft and fleshy to the
|
|
touch. Her face was wide, but narrowed to a markedly pointed
|
|
chin. Her lips were thin, and her mouth like a slit. The ears
|
|
were normal, but small.
|
|
The door then closed, and Villas Boas found himself alone
|
|
with this woman, whose slim, lithe body was the most exquisite
|
|
he had ever seen. She had high, well-separated breasts, Her
|
|
waist was slender, her hips wide and her thighs large, while
|
|
her feet were small and her hands, long and narrow. He saw,
|
|
too, that the hair in her armpits, and her pubic hair, was a
|
|
strange blood red. He smelt no perfume on her, "apart from the
|
|
feminine odour", which he noticed specifically.
|
|
She approached to farmer and rubbed her head against his
|
|
(presumably by standing on tip-toe). Her body felt as though
|
|
glued to his, ad she made it quite clear what she wanted. His
|
|
excitement welled up. The sexual act was normal - as was the
|
|
one that followed - but then she tired, and refused further
|
|
advances.
|
|
Villas Boas recalled that she never kissed him while they
|
|
made love, nor were caresses exchanged, but she once gently bit
|
|
him on his chin. Although she never spoke, she grunted, and
|
|
that "nearly spoiled everything, giving the disagreeable
|
|
impression that I was with an animal".
|
|
When she was called away by one of the other beings, she
|
|
turned to Villas Boas, pointed to her belly, and then to the
|
|
sky, These gestures instilled a great fear in Antonio - a fear
|
|
that was with him years after the event - for he interpreted
|
|
them as meaning she would return to take him away. (Dr. Fontes
|
|
later calmed him by suggesting that she meant: "I am going to
|
|
bear our child, yours and mine, there on my home planet". This
|
|
let to speculation by the farmer that all they wanted was "a
|
|
good stallion" to improve their stock.) Then Villas Boas was
|
|
told to get dressed, after which he says he was taken on a
|
|
conducted tour round the craft. During this time, he tried to
|
|
steal an instrument merely for a keepsake, only to be rebuffed,
|
|
angrily, by one of the alien crew. Eventually, he was invited
|
|
by the humanoids to go down the ladder, and back on to solid
|
|
ground. From there, he watched the ladder retract, while the
|
|
metal legs and the lights began to glow. The craft rose into
|
|
the air, its cupola turning at great speed. With lights now
|
|
flashing, it listed slightly to one side, then suddenly shot
|
|
off just like a bullet.
|
|
By now it was 5.30 a.m., so the abductee's extraordinary
|
|
adventure must have lasted over four hours in all.
|
|
Villas Boas returned home, hungry and weakened by his spell
|
|
of vomiting. He slept through to 4.30 p.m. and awoke feeling
|
|
perfectly normal. But when he fell asleep again, he was
|
|
restless, and woke up shouting after dreaming of the incident.
|
|
Next day, he was troubled by dreadful nausea and a violent
|
|
headache. When that left him, he found that his eyes began to
|
|
burn. Unusual wounds, with infections, appeared on parts of his
|
|
body; and when these dried up, he noticed that they left round,
|
|
purplish scars.
|
|
|
|
MYSTERIOUS SCARS
|
|
When Dr. Fontes examined Villas Boas, he observed two small
|
|
patches, one on each side of the chin. He described these as
|
|
"scars of some superficial lesion with associated subcutaneous
|
|
haemorrhage". Several other mysterious scars on his body were
|
|
also noted.
|
|
In a letter to 'Flying Saucer Review', Dr. Fontes suggested
|
|
that the symptoms described pointed to radiation poisoning, or
|
|
exposure to radiation. As he wrote: "Unfortunately he came to
|
|
me too late for the blood examinations that could have
|
|
confirmed such a possiblity beyond doubt".
|
|
On 10 October 1971, Joao Martins was at last officially
|
|
cleared to write abut the case for the Brazillian public. His
|
|
account eventually appeared in the Rio de Janeiro Sunday review
|
|
'Domingo Illustrado'. An abridged account concluded with a
|
|
fascinating statement confirming that:
|
|
"A.V.B. was subjected by us (Martins, Dr. Fontes, and a
|
|
military officer - whose presence was not revealed in the
|
|
earlier reports) to the most sophisticated methods of
|
|
interrogation, without falling into any contradictions. He
|
|
resisted every trap we set to test whether he was seeking
|
|
notoriety or money. A medical examination . . . revealed a
|
|
state of completely normal physical and mental equilibrium, His
|
|
reputation in the region where he lives was that of an honest,
|
|
serious, hardworking man."
|
|
Martins also revealed that the interrogation to which the
|
|
abductee had been subjected at times borded on harsh and cruel
|
|
treatment, just short of physical violence, but Villas Boas
|
|
never veered from his original story in any detail. The
|
|
journalist therefore reached the rather intriguing conclusion
|
|
that: "If this story is true, it may well be that, somewhere
|
|
out there in the Universe, there is a strange child ... that
|
|
maybe is being prepared to return here."
