S1E7

The next case on which Allen and Quinn are supposed to work will be minus Quinn as he has been placed on another short term assignment, the nature of which he does not reveal to Allen. What Quinn has been tasked to do, on Harding's directive, is to follow Rizzuto, who they feel is of greater use to them out than he would be in military custody. Quinn further learns that he has a specific task to find what Rizzuto purportedly stole from Wake Forest. The UFO case takes Allen to Bowling Green, Ohio, where a scout troop was out in the woods on an overnight camp, when they spotted moving lights in the sky. The scoutmaster, Emmett, went to investigate, the last the troop seeing or hearing of him being his yells for them to run, Emmett who is still missing. While doing his job in providing a scientific explanation for what happened however improbable it may seem in his own head, Allen is pointed in the direction of what had only been known in these parts as an old Choctaw Indian legend, which leads to Allen speaking to David, a Choctaw who may be able to provide further detail on the legend. When Emmett does emerge with a few visible scars but otherwise all right physically telling of the alien he encountered and the subsequent proof he has to that alien he purportedly killed, Allen has to piece together that evidence against what he learns from David. The missing piece to the puzzle may be provided by Brian, one of the older boys in the troop.

*The episode is loosely based on the Sonny DesVergers Scoutmaster UFO case of August 1952.

Wales' Bermuda Triangle 

The day was February 4, 1977. It was a normal day at Broad Haven Primary School in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It was normal, that is, until more than a dozen children started telling their teachers that they had seen something “weird” flying around the school. What they saw was described as a silver, cigar-shaped object around 45ft in length. It had a central dome and a red pulsating light on the top and appeared over the trees around the perimeter of the school. What exactly it was has been subject to debate and discussion for more than four decades. One of the 10-year-old boys who saw the object was Dave Davies. Mr Davies, now in his 50s, told the BBC: “Throughout the day children had come in from playtime saying they had seen a weird object flying around the perimeter of the school. The headmaster thought he was having his leg pulled at the time so he wouldn’t actually go out and have a look. At the end of the day the final bell went and I thought I’d investigate for myself so I went up to the top perimeter of the school and the object popped up from behind some trees. It was about 50ft long, about the size of a bus, with a florescence to it. " The Monday after the sightings at the school the headmaster – understandably sceptical – asked the children to draw an image of what they had seen. Amazingly children who had seen the object at different times all drew very similar depictions of it. Mr Davies said: “The headmaster approached us, isolated the children who had seen the object, and made us draw pictures of what we saw and also a written account. He was very sceptical but the accounts were so similar that there was this resignation that hit him that we had in fact seen something.”

Alien Encounter or Urban Legend? The Varginha UFO Incident Reexamined

The Varginha UFO incident, which transpired on January 20-23, 1996, in the Brazilian town of Varginha, is one of the most captivating and enduring UFO stories of the late 20th century. This event, marked by allegations of alien sightings and a purported military cover-up, has garnered significant attention worldwide, sparking intense debate and fascination. The incident’s narrative, which began with three local girls claiming to have encountered a bizarre creature, was subsequently bolstered by reports of a disc-shaped UFO sighting by numerous residents, setting the stage for a tale of otherworldly proportions.

As the story unfolded, the alleged involvement of the Brazilian military added a complex layer to the narrative, with witnesses asserting that soldiers apprehended one or more creatures, transporting them to Hospital Humanitas for medical examination. However, the military and the hospital have consistently denied these claims, attributing them to rumor and misinformation. This stark dichotomy between eyewitness accounts and official denials has been at the heart of the incident’s mystique, fueling speculation and intrigue.

Despite extensive investigations by UFO enthusiast groups, media outlets, and independent researchers, concrete evidence substantiating the alien encounter remains elusive. The absence of tangible proof has spawned a multitude of theories, ranging from the misidentification of earthly phenomena to outright fabrication for personal gain. While critics highlight inconsistencies in key witnesses’ testimonies over time, suggesting embellishment or fabrication, proponents argue that the sheer volume of similar accounts lends credibility to the event’s extraordinary nature.

The Varginha UFO incident has left an indelible mark on the town, albeit in a subtle manner. Rather than actively promoting itself as a UFO tourism destination, Varginha wears the incident as a badge of local pride and a testament to the enduring power of storytelling. Globally, the incident contributes significantly to UFO folklore, frequently cited alongside seminal cases. Moreover, it underscores humanity’s profound fascination with the possibility of extraterrestrial life, highlighting the tension between the desire for definitive proof of the unknown and the skepticism accompanying unsubstantiated claims.

This dynamic continues to fuel ongoing discussions in scientific, philosophical, and popular cultural contexts, ensuring the incident’s relevance years after its occurrence. Ultimately, whether attributed to a terrestrial explanation or something more extraordinary, the Varginha UFO incident will endure as a fascinating chapter in UFO history, a poignant reminder of the captivating power of the unexplained in shaping our collective imagination and quest for answers about life beyond Earth.

The Falkville Metal Man

The encounter happened in Falkville, Alabama on October 17th, 1973. A police officer named Jeff Greenhaw got a call that a woman had seen a UFO. It was 10 PM, and he was off duty, but he decided to check it out. He grabbed his revolver, handcuffs, keys, and his polaroid camera. 

He drove to where the UFO had been, but he didn’t see anything strange. He got out of his truck to get a closer look at his surroundings. He saw what he assumed was a person. He shouted at them to get their attention, but he got no response. He walked closer to the “person”, and he noticed they were wearing what looked like aluminum foil. 

He ran back to his truck, grabbed his camera, turned on his headlights, and managed to take 4 pictures of the entity before it fled. He tried to pursue the entity in his truck, but it was able to outrun him even though he was going 35 MPH. The pursuit ended when Jeff’s truck got stuck in a ditch. He said the entity ran faster than any person he had ever seen. 

After the encounter, Jeff faced public ridicule. He was terminated from being the chief of police, he and his wife divorced, someone went as far as to burn his house down, and years after the initial encounter someone broke into his home and stole the original photographs of the Metal Man. He withdrew himself from the public, and moved to several different states before deciding to return home. 

Some possible explanations are:

This was a prank orchestrated by Jeff (or someone) that was inspired by the Pascagoula Abduction, which had happened a short time before the encounter. 

2. The entity was an alien. 

3. It was a person in an asbestos fire suit.

4. It was a teenager who was very talented at running.

Incident at Exeter: Norman Muscarello and his frightening 1965 UFO encounter

00:25-18:03 "Dean Merchant walks us through the site of the 1965 Incident.

On September 3, 1965 18-year-old Norman Muscarello saw a UFO in Kensington, NH. When he later returned to the scene with 2 police officers, all three of them observed the UFO once more before it flew away. The UFO was also sighted by another person earlier that night

The incident remains among the best-documented and best-publicized in UFO history and has attracted national attention and inspired a book called "Incident at Exeter" which made The New York Times bestseller list and remains one of the best-selling UFO books in history.

Dean Merchant is a local historian, journalist and Ufologist who founded the annual Exeter UFO Festival with the Exeter Area Kiwanis."

The Disappearance of Rivalino Mafra da Silva: Alien Abduction or Foul Play?

Rivalino Mafra da Silva was a Brazilian diamond prospector who lived in Diamantino, a town in the south-eastern state of Minas Gerais. Rivalino’s wife had died in 1961, and he raised his three sons Raimundo (12-years-old), Fatimo (6-years-old), and Dirceu (2-years-old) by himself in a shack. On August 19, 1962, the family was woken up during the middle of the night by a shadow in their shared bedroom. According to Raimundo, the shadow was “half the size of a man and not shaped like a human being.” It quietly moved through the room, looked over the Mafras, and then left their house.

After the shadow left, the Mafras heard voices and footsteps coming from outside. One of the voices said, “This seems to be Rivalino,” and then Rivalino jumped out of bed and went into the living-room. He asked the voices who they were, but they refused to identify themselves. They told Rivalino that they were going to kill him. Eventually, the voices stopped and seemed to have left, but the Mafras couldn’t sleep after this incident. They were so scared that they prayed all night.

In the morning, while fetching his dad’s horse, Raimundo saw two ball-like objects hovering in the air near the family shack. One of the objects was entirely black in color, the other was black and white. Both objects had antennae and tail-like appendages. They also made humming noises, and flashes of light or fire came out from their backs.

Raimundo shouted for his father, and when Rivalino came outside, the two objects combined into one ball and released a yellow smoke. The smoke covered Rivalino and filled the air with a terrible odor. When the smoke cleared a minute later, Rivalino and the ball-like object were gone. Raimundo looked all over for his father, but couldn’t find him. He ran to the local police station and reported what happened. When the police searched the Mafras’ shack, they found drops of human blood, although it couldn’t be determined whether it belonged to Rivalino.

Drawing by Raimundo of the objects he saw.

Naturally, the authorities didn’t buy Raimundo’s incredible story. They suspected that he killed his father, or perhaps was covering up for the murderer. Joao Antunes de Oliveira, a psychiatrist, thought that Raimundo was perfectly sane. He seemed to truly believe that he saw a ball-like object abduct his father. The police didn’t buy it though. In a cruel trick, they covered a (still living) volunteer with a sheet and told Raimundo that it was Rivalino’s dead body. Raimundo still refused to take back his account. In tears, he insisted that the story was true and that the ball must have returned his father.

While some believed the boy, other residents sided with the police. Elagmano Marques da Costa, a businessman in the area, thought Mafra ran off and abandoned his sons. One popular rumor suggested that he was murdered. Perhaps Raimundo saw the shadows and voices of the murderers, but hallucinated the rest of the incident due to shock. While he might have been deemed sane, Raimundo wasn’t in the best of health. He was badly malnourished, illiterate, and couldn’t even read a clock. Interestingly, Raimundo related the same story over and over. His account is said to have never changed, perhaps confirming the psychiatrists’ observation that he believed what he saw. 

Five days after his father’s disappearance, Raimundo gave an interview to the press. The next day, an article about the story appeared in the newspaper Diario de Minas. A Rio de Janiero-based paper, Tribuna da Imprensa, covered the case on August 29. In a September article for The A.P.R.O Bulletin entitled “Man Kidnapped by Globes,” Olavo T. Fontes translated Raimundo’s press interview, the first report of the case in English-speaking media. Many other articles and books, as listed here, have since covered Rivalino Mafra da Silva’s disappearance, but with distortions and inaccuracies.

One common piece of apocrypha, missing from the earliest sources, concerns alien dwarves.  Slightly before Rivalino’s disappearance, two of his co-workers are said to have seen a pair of three foot-tall beings while walking past his house. The dwarves were digging a hole, and when spotted, ran into the bushes. A red UFO then emerged from the hiding spot and took off into the sky. Others claim that it was Rivalino himself who saw the dwarves.

Whatever exactly happened to the Mafra boys after their father’s disappearance is also obscure; Raimundo is said to have died in 2001, and the whereabouts of Fatimo and Dirceu are unknown.
