In October of 1957, a Brazilian farmer named Antônio Vilas-Boas had an experience that’s now considered the first documented “UFO abduction” case in the post-war era.(1) Four months after the unusual events, Vilas-Boas shared his experience with a doctor and a journalist.(2) At a time when stories of UFO landings and entity encounters were dismissed out-of-hand, Antônio’s experience was widely overlooked, at first. But more than 60 years later, we see that his narrative contains many of the same elements as the common “alien abduction” experiences of the 80’s and the 90’s, and it was the first to suggest a rather alarming agenda on the part of the abductors.(3)
The UFOs
Antônio Vilas-Boas was a 23-year-old Brazilian man living with his family on their farm near the town of São Francisco de Sales in the southeastern state of Minas Gerais. After 11 p.m. on the night of October 5th, 1957, Antônio was trying to sleep in his room with his brother João when he went to open the window. In the middle of the farmyard he noticed a fluorescent silver light illuminating a large patch of ground, with no visible source. Later, the light began moving towards him. He swung the shutters closed, waking João, and the brothers watched as the light shone through the shutters, then down between the roof tiles, before it simply “went out.”(4)
The second event took place after 9:30 p.m. the night of October 14th. Antônio was ploughing the field in the tractor with his other brother when they saw a large, round light that shone so bright it hurt their eyes. It was light red in colour and hovering at the northern end of the field an estimated 100 metres in the air, lighting up the ground below. Antônio felt there was an object behind the light, but when he walked closer, the light quickly moved to the southern end of the field. Antônio tried approaching it 20 times but it kept switching locations. For the next while, it occasionally shot out rays in all directions, then appeared to vanish, “as though it had been turned out,” as Antônio put it.(5)
The next night, October 15th, Antônio was ploughing alone. At 1 a.m. he spotted a red star in the clear sky that was quickly growing in size as it appeared to fly towards him. Soon he could see that it was shaped like an elongated egg and emitting a brilliant pale-red light. The object stopped overtop of Antônio’s tractor then descended to a height of roughly 50 metres. The area was lit “as though it were daylight,” with a powerful pale red glow.(6) The UFO then moved 10 to 15 metres in front of the tractor and slowly descended.
Vilas-Boas could now see that the egg-shaped machine was surrounded by small, purple-colored lights, and had a small square-shaped metal plane sticking out of either side. It also had three metal spikes protruding from the front, aligned horizontally. Above each of the two outer spikes was a round reddish light, and above the central one was a powerful red “headlight,” as he put it, that appeared to be the source of the brilliant glow he’d seen before. The upper part of the craft was shaped like a shallow dome, and it spun on its own axis. This spinning dome gave off a powerful red fluorescent light which changed to a green colour when the craft came to land, and the spinning slowed.(7)
A tripod of metal supports came out from beneath the object before it landed on the ground, prompting Vilas-Boas to drive his tractor away, but he only got a few metres before the engine died and the lights went out. Vilas-Boas had just started running when someone grabbed his arm from the side. His assailant was completely covered in a suit and helmet, and stood about as tall as Antônio’s shoulder. As he struggled away, he was grabbed by three more taller figures in the same full-body suits who lifted him off the ground. Vilas-Boas struggled and yelled, and curiously, each time that he spoke, the four assailants stopped to look at his face.(8)
The suited entities were each clothed in tight-fitting, full-body jumpsuits made of thick grey cloth with a few black bands around the limbs. The suit joined a helmet of the same colour, which revealed their light-blue-ish eyes only through two round holes. Their helmets seemed overly large above the eye-line. Three silver-coloured tubes the size of garden hoses came from the bottom of the back of their helmets and curved down to fit into the back of the suit. In the centre of the chest was a small, round, red “shield” that reflected light, and a strip of silvery material joined the shield to a tight, broad belt with no clasp or buckle. The sleeves blended into thick, five-fingered gloves of the same colour, and the pants joined seamlessly to tennis-style shoes with soles that were two or three inches thick, and curved upwards at the toes.(9)
Vilas-Boas was carried to the craft, which was sitting roughly two metres above the ground. There was an open doorway towards the rear of the craft with the door laying outward horizontally, like a castle drawbridge. There was a ladder hanging from the end of this drawbridge door which appeared to be made of the same silvery metal as the craft’s walls. The assailants forced Antônio onto the ladder, and he realized that it was somehow flexible, and swung from side to side as he struggled.(10)
Inside the UFO
Taken inside the UFO, Antônio found himself inside a small, square room made entirely of polished metal. At the top of the walls and in the ceiling were many small square lights set into the surface. The assailants set Antônio down as the door raised up and closed, blending so seamlessly with the walls around it that the frame could not be seen at all. There were five of the beings around him at this point, and one used a hand to signal Antônio to move to an open door opposite the entrance.(11)
Antônio entered into a much larger, semi-oval shaped room with the same polished metal walls and lighting, and a column in the centre. To one side of the room Antônio saw an oddly-shaped table surrounded by chairs like bar stools, all made of white metal. Antônio stood waiting while the five entities appeared to speak to each other in what he described as “slow barks and yelps.” The barking stopped, and the assailants all grabbed him and started taking off his clothes. One of them then approached him with a soft wet sponge, which it used to cover him in a thick, clear liquid that dried quickly and wasn’t oily.(12)
Three of his assailants led him through a door opposite to where they had entered by pushing something in the middle, which caused it to open inwards in two halves. Above the door were illuminated, red symbols which appeared to float about two inches in front of the doorframe. Vilas-Boas walked through the door into a squarish room, and once again, the door closed seamlessly with the wall around it.
Shortly after, two more of the beings entered, each carrying a thick, red tube with a glass flask shaped like a chalice on one end and a kind of “cupping-glass” on the other. One of the entities squeezed the tube, seemingly pressing the air out of it, before he placed the cupping-glass on Antônio’s chin. Antônio felt a bit of suction while the flask filled halfway with what looked to be blood. The second tube was placed on the other side of his chin and the chalice was filled to the brim. The entities then left with the door closing behind them.(13) In the two spots where the tubes touched his chin, there appeared a dark mark that itched and burned, and was still visible four months later.
Antônio was then left alone in a room that contained a strangely shaped large grey couch or bed. He eventually began to notice a smell that he compared to burning painted cloth, and found that there were several metallic rods protruding from the walls, with many small holes in them emitting a grey smoke into the air. Antônio quickly became nauseous, and threw up into a corner of the room.(14)
After a long wait, Antônio was startled by a noise, and he looked to see a naked woman in the open doorway. Antônio described her as being more beautiful than any woman he had seen before, but unusual in several ways. She had white skin like a blonde Brazilian woman, and her hair was bleached blonde and straight, though it curled inwards at the end. The woman’s underarm and pubic hair were blood red, and her arms were covered in freckles. She had big, elongated blue eyes that narrowed to fine points on the outsides, and slanted downwards towards the middle. She had high cheekbones, a wide face, and a pointed chin; a slender body and a small waist, but wide hips and large thighs. Finally, she had small feet, with long and narrow hands. Antônio estimated that the helmet would have brought her height up to his chin, making him certain that this woman was the first assailant to grab him outside.(15)
The woman suddenly embraced Vilas-Boas, rubbing her head against his face as he became more aroused than he’d ever been before. As the two had sexual intercourse, the woman grunted a few times which made Antônio feel as though she were more animal than human. After he’d finished inside of her, the door opened again and one of the suited figures appeared and called to the woman. Before leaving, she turned to face Antônio, pointed to her belly, pointed at him, then pointed up to the sky with a slight smile on her face.
Next, one of the beings returned Antônio’s clothes, and led him back to the oval room, where the being joined three other crew-members now sitting on the stools. There was a third doorway in the room that was slightly ajar, and in the room beyond, Antônio could hear noises like a person shuffling around. He also noticed that on the table was a square box with a glass lid protecting what appeared to be a clockface. Like a clock, it had a hand and black marks at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions, and four little marks in a row at 12. Antônio saw one of the entities glance at this object a few times, but he never saw the hand move. When Antônio grabbed the device off the table, the nearest being darted over and snatched it from him, placing it back on the table.(16)
Eventually, one of the entities got up and signalled for Antônio to follow him. The pair walked through the room they’d originally entered from and out the exterior door, then along the catwalk that wrapped around the craft. There were reddish square lamps embedded along the hull where Vilas-Boas saw purple ones before. The entity pointed out the three metal spikes at the front of the craft. At this time, they were glowing a pale red. The catwalk stopped ahead of a large, thick sheet of murky glass that appeared to be a windshield. The crew-member pointed up to the top of the craft where the big disc was slowly rotating, now illuminated by a greenish fluorescent light, and Vilas-Boas could hear a whining sound like a vacuum-cleaner.
The pair returned to the entrance and the crew-member gestured for Antônio to descend the ladder. Back on the ground, he saw the entity point at himself, point to the ground, then point at the southern sky before signalling Antônio to step back. The entity went into the craft before the door closed and the ladder’s rungs collapsed together and disappeared into the wall.
The legs folded into the UFO as it rose, and the top spun faster, changing between several different colours before becoming a vibrant red. A loud “hum” or “whine” could be heard as the craft quickly changed orientation then flew southward at a “fantastic speed.” Vilas-Boas thought he saw a rudder move when it turned.(17)
Aftermath
After the craft flew off, Vilas-Boas returned to his tractor and found that the battery was disconnected. It was now just before dawn, and he estimated that he was on the craft from 1:15 to 5:30 a.m.(18) He felt weak and tired, and slept until 4:30 that afternoon, at which point he felt well enough to eat dinner, but the following nights his dreams replayed the disturbing events and shocked him awake. He also experienced nausea, headaches, and loss of appetite. The second night, he felt a burning sensation in his eyes, which grew worse the next day. For the next month he felt excessively sleepy, even drifting off during the day.(19)
The day after his abduction ended, Antônio returned to the landing site and measured the lengths between the three indentations left in the ground. From this he was able to determine that the craft was around 10.6 metres, or 35 feet long, and 7 meters, or 23 feet wide, at the rear.(20)
Eight days after the incident, Antônio bumped his forearm, resulting in a bruise and bleeding, which became infected and itchy, and left a purple patch around it when it healed. In the following ten days, Antônio found similar wounds appear spontaneously on his forearms and legs, each of which left behind a purple patch that remained for months. Fifteen days after the incident, a pale yellow spot appeared on each side of his nose.(21)
In November, 1957, Vilas-Boas read João Martins’ articles on Brazilian UFOs in the weekly magazine, O Cruzeiro. He wrote two letters to Martins, and sent a wood model of the UFO that he’d carved.(22) A little over four months after the incident, on February 22nd, 1958, Vilas-Boas met with Martins and physician and ufologist Dr. Olavo T. Fontès in Rio de Janeiro.(23) Martins and Fontès recorded over four hours of cross-examination, and Dr. Fontès also conducted a medical evaluation, but he could not explain the two small hyperchromic patches on his chin, or the purple patches around his wounds. Years later, Dr. Fontès said that he felt that the symptoms were due to radiation-poisoning, however, their meeting was too late to conduct blood tests to confirm this.(24)
Sometime ahead of their February meeting, Vilas-Boas had sketched a reproduction of the unusual red lettering above the doorway, and included it in a letter to Martins. Years later, A Brazilian doctor named Walter Buhler sent a copy to linguist and ufologist, Gordon Creighton, but it’s unknown how Buhler obtained the sketch, and it’s impossible to determine if it is the original.(25) At some point in this visit, Antônio also sketched a drawing of the UFO.
After the interrogation, Martins said he wouldn’t be able to publish the story in O Cruzeiro due to lack of evidence, and lack of similar accounts. In the end, Fontès believed Vilas-Boas’ story, while Martins didn’t.(26) Creighton felt that Fontès and Martins had made some agreement to not publish the story at the behest of some U.S. or Brazilian Security or Intelligence Service.(27)
In July 1961, Buhler and Dr. Mario Prudente Aquino travelled to São Francisco de Sales, and had Vilas-Boas draw two more sketches of the craft. Buhler used the testimony to write about the case in his personal bulletin, and shared it with the Brazilian Society for the Study of Flying Saucers, as well as the Flying Saucer Review, which declined to publish on the case. However, Gordon Creighton wrote a series of articles for Flying Saucer Review beginning in 1965. Around the same time, the case was covered in O Cruzeiro. Creighton eventually compiled all the information for a chapter in The Humanoids published in 1969.(28)
Vilas-Boas had a lasting fear that the woman’s gestures meant that he would be captured again and taken to the beings’ home, but was calmed by Dr. Fontes’ suggestion that it meant that she was going to bear his child where she lived.(29) Antônio married within a few years of the incident and had several children, and he eventually became a lawyer. He refused all further interviews until he agreed to appear on Brazilian television in 1978 to correct several inaccurate retellings. Otherwise he hadn’t discussed his experience in detail, not even with family. He maintained the veracity of his account until his death on January 17th, 1991.(30)
Significance
The story of Vilas-Boas was largely disbelieved in its own time, but after the Betty and Barney Hill Case of 1961 brought the phenomenon of “alien abduction” to popular attention, it was clear that his case was a forerunner. Just as in the case of Vilas-Boas, Betty and Barney Hill saw a UFO before being apprehended by “alien” beings and led aboard a landed craft. Pregnancy was a theme in both accounts, with Betty being tested for it.
And many more abductees, or experiencers, have reported sexual intercourse with apparently alien beings, or alien-human hybrids. Hybrid reproduction was a common theme in stories collected by abduction researchers in the 1980's and 90's, including John Mack, Budd Hopkins, and David Jacobs, and many experiencers today claim to have reproductive sex with extraterrestrial or interdimensional entities.(31) However, other ufologists such as Jaques Vallée have criticized the heavy use of regressive hypnosis in these cases, and warned that Hopkins and others might have unintentionally implanted false memories in their subjects.(32)
Furthermore, sex with spirits, gods, demons, and other beings is a notable feature of most ancient religions and traditional mythologies. For example, in his 2016 book The Super Natural, co-authored by Whitley Streiber, professor Jeffrey Kripal shares stories from the Tantric yoga tradition in India that are eerily reminiscent of Western abduction stories. These include bodies of light, and flying “temples” or “royal airships” containing female beings who abduct and sexualize their victims, awakening them on a spiritual level.(33) Several Christian thinkers in Medieval Europe believed that humans could breed with demons, and some Muslim scholars believed the same thing about Jinn, a kind of invisible, spirit-like race of beings that lived alongside of humans.(34)
In February 1978, ufologist Rich Reynolds was approached by Bosco Nedelcovic who had formerly worked for the CIA and Department of Defense, and worked in Brazil for the U.S. Agency for International Development at the time of the incident. Nedelcovic claimed that the Vilas-Boas abduction was perpetrated by U.S. Intelligence as part of Project MK-Ultra, and said that he witnessed parts of the operation from a U.S. Army-owned helicopter, including the spraying of Vilas-Boas with Lorazepam gas at the start of the abduction. From declassified MK-Ultra documents we know the CIA did use drugs on unsuspecting targets, and some ufologists, including Helmut and Marion Lammer, have documented evidence of Military Abductions which simulate aspects of entity abductions.(35) However, Nedelcovic offered no proof of his claims, and it’s been demonstrated that several times in the past, CIA and other U.S. federal officers have deliberately tried to discredit UFO researchers by planting false claims.(36) In 2006, 9 pages of documents were published on The UFO Reality blog which detailed Reynolds’ discussion with Nedelcovic.(37)
Conclusion
In his tell-all Report on UFOs in 1956, Captain Edward Ruppelt of the U.S. Air Force said that at that time, all reports of UFO landings and contact with entities were automatically marked “C.P.” for crackpot.(38) Vilas-Boas’ report was thus largely disbelieved in its own time, but it helped pave the way for the public’s acceptance of the Betty and Barney Hill abduction in 1961. The story that Vilas-Boas told was in many ways an early example of the kinds of abduction narratives seen in the later 20th century, and was the first to present the world with the shocking implication that some of these alien or extra-dimensional beings might be breeding with the human race.
In October of 1957, a Brazilian farmer named Antônio Vilas-Boas had an experience that’s now considered the first documented “UFO abduction” case in the post-war era.(1) Four months after the unusual events, Vilas-Boas shared his experience with a doctor and a journalist.(2) At a time when stories of UFO landings and entity encounters were dismissed out-of-hand, Antônio’s experience was widely overlooked, at first. But more than 60 years later, we see that his narrative contains many of the same elements as the common “alien abduction” experiences of the 80’s and the 90’s, and it was the first to suggest a rather alarming agenda on the part of the abductors.(3)
The UFOs
Antônio Vilas-Boas was a 23-year-old Brazilian man living with his family on their farm near the town of São Francisco de Sales in the southeastern state of Minas Gerais. After 11 p.m. on the night of October 5th, 1957, Antônio was trying to sleep in his room with his brother João when he went to open the window. In the middle of the farmyard he noticed a fluorescent silver light illuminating a large patch of ground, with no visible source. Later, the light began moving towards him. He swung the shutters closed, waking João, and the brothers watched as the light shone through the shutters, then down between the roof tiles, before it simply “went out.”(4)
The second event took place after 9:30 p.m. the night of October 14th. Antônio was ploughing the field in the tractor with his other brother when they saw a large, round light that shone so bright it hurt their eyes. It was light red in colour and hovering at the northern end of the field an estimated 100 metres in the air, lighting up the ground below. Antônio felt there was an object behind the light, but when he walked closer, the light quickly moved to the southern end of the field. Antônio tried approaching it 20 times but it kept switching locations. For the next while, it occasionally shot out rays in all directions, then appeared to vanish, “as though it had been turned out,” as Antônio put it.(5)
The next night, October 15th, Antônio was ploughing alone. At 1 a.m. he spotted a red star in the clear sky that was quickly growing in size as it appeared to fly towards him. Soon he could see that it was shaped like an elongated egg and emitting a brilliant pale-red light. The object stopped overtop of Antônio’s tractor then descended to a height of roughly 50 metres. The area was lit “as though it were daylight,” with a powerful pale red glow.(6) The UFO then moved 10 to 15 metres in front of the tractor and slowly descended.
Vilas-Boas could now see that the egg-shaped machine was surrounded by small, purple-colored lights, and had a small square-shaped metal plane sticking out of either side. It also had three metal spikes protruding from the front, aligned horizontally. Above each of the two outer spikes was a round reddish light, and above the central one was a powerful red “headlight,” as he put it, that appeared to be the source of the brilliant glow he’d seen before. The upper part of the craft was shaped like a shallow dome, and it spun on its own axis. This spinning dome gave off a powerful red fluorescent light which changed to a green colour when the craft came to land, and the spinning slowed.(7)
A tripod of metal supports came out from beneath the object before it landed on the ground, prompting Vilas-Boas to drive his tractor away, but he only got a few metres before the engine died and the lights went out. Vilas-Boas had just started running when someone grabbed his arm from the side. His assailant was completely covered in a suit and helmet, and stood about as tall as Antônio’s shoulder. As he struggled away, he was grabbed by three more taller figures in the same full-body suits who lifted him off the ground. Vilas-Boas struggled and yelled, and curiously, each time that he spoke, the four assailants stopped to look at his face.(8)
The suited entities were each clothed in tight-fitting, full-body jumpsuits made of thick grey cloth with a few black bands around the limbs. The suit joined a helmet of the same colour, which revealed their light-blue-ish eyes only through two round holes. Their helmets seemed overly large above the eye-line. Three silver-coloured tubes the size of garden hoses came from the bottom of the back of their helmets and curved down to fit into the back of the suit. In the centre of the chest was a small, round, red “shield” that reflected light, and a strip of silvery material joined the shield to a tight, broad belt with no clasp or buckle. The sleeves blended into thick, five-fingered gloves of the same colour, and the pants joined seamlessly to tennis-style shoes with soles that were two or three inches thick, and curved upwards at the toes.(9)
Vilas-Boas was carried to the craft, which was sitting roughly two metres above the ground. There was an open doorway towards the rear of the craft with the door laying outward horizontally, like a castle drawbridge. There was a ladder hanging from the end of this drawbridge door which appeared to be made of the same silvery metal as the craft’s walls. The assailants forced Antônio onto the ladder, and he realized that it was somehow flexible, and swung from side to side as he struggled.(10)
Inside the UFO
Taken inside the UFO, Antônio found himself inside a small, square room made entirely of polished metal. At the top of the walls and in the ceiling were many small square lights set into the surface. The assailants set Antônio down as the door raised up and closed, blending so seamlessly with the walls around it that the frame could not be seen at all. There were five of the beings around him at this point, and one used a hand to signal Antônio to move to an open door opposite the entrance.(11)
Antônio entered into a much larger, semi-oval shaped room with the same polished metal walls and lighting, and a column in the centre. To one side of the room Antônio saw an oddly-shaped table surrounded by chairs like bar stools, all made of white metal. Antônio stood waiting while the five entities appeared to speak to each other in what he described as “slow barks and yelps.” The barking stopped, and the assailants all grabbed him and started taking off his clothes. One of them then approached him with a soft wet sponge, which it used to cover him in a thick, clear liquid that dried quickly and wasn’t oily.(12)
Three of his assailants led him through a door opposite to where they had entered by pushing something in the middle, which caused it to open inwards in two halves. Above the door were illuminated, red symbols which appeared to float about two inches in front of the doorframe. Vilas-Boas walked through the door into a squarish room, and once again, the door closed seamlessly with the wall around it.
Shortly after, two more of the beings entered, each carrying a thick, red tube with a glass flask shaped like a chalice on one end and a kind of “cupping-glass” on the other. One of the entities squeezed the tube, seemingly pressing the air out of it, before he placed the cupping-glass on Antônio’s chin. Antônio felt a bit of suction while the flask filled halfway with what looked to be blood. The second tube was placed on the other side of his chin and the chalice was filled to the brim. The entities then left with the door closing behind them.(13) In the two spots where the tubes touched his chin, there appeared a dark mark that itched and burned, and was still visible four months later.
Antônio was then left alone in a room that contained a strangely shaped large grey couch or bed. He eventually began to notice a smell that he compared to burning painted cloth, and found that there were several metallic rods protruding from the walls, with many small holes in them emitting a grey smoke into the air. Antônio quickly became nauseous, and threw up into a corner of the room.(14)
After a long wait, Antônio was startled by a noise, and he looked to see a naked woman in the open doorway. Antônio described her as being more beautiful than any woman he had seen before, but unusual in several ways. She had white skin like a blonde Brazilian woman, and her hair was bleached blonde and straight, though it curled inwards at the end. The woman’s underarm and pubic hair were blood red, and her arms were covered in freckles. She had big, elongated blue eyes that narrowed to fine points on the outsides, and slanted downwards towards the middle. She had high cheekbones, a wide face, and a pointed chin; a slender body and a small waist, but wide hips and large thighs. Finally, she had small feet, with long and narrow hands. Antônio estimated that the helmet would have brought her height up to his chin, making him certain that this woman was the first assailant to grab him outside.(15)
The woman suddenly embraced Vilas-Boas, rubbing her head against his face as he became more aroused than he’d ever been before. As the two had sexual intercourse, the woman grunted a few times which made Antônio feel as though she were more animal than human. After he’d finished inside of her, the door opened again and one of the suited figures appeared and called to the woman. Before leaving, she turned to face Antônio, pointed to her belly, pointed at him, then pointed up to the sky with a slight smile on her face.
Next, one of the beings returned Antônio’s clothes, and led him back to the oval room, where the being joined three other crew-members now sitting on the stools. There was a third doorway in the room that was slightly ajar, and in the room beyond, Antônio could hear noises like a person shuffling around. He also noticed that on the table was a square box with a glass lid protecting what appeared to be a clockface. Like a clock, it had a hand and black marks at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions, and four little marks in a row at 12. Antônio saw one of the entities glance at this object a few times, but he never saw the hand move. When Antônio grabbed the device off the table, the nearest being darted over and snatched it from him, placing it back on the table.(16)
Eventually, one of the entities got up and signalled for Antônio to follow him. The pair walked through the room they’d originally entered from and out the exterior door, then along the catwalk that wrapped around the craft. There were reddish square lamps embedded along the hull where Vilas-Boas saw purple ones before. The entity pointed out the three metal spikes at the front of the craft. At this time, they were glowing a pale red. The catwalk stopped ahead of a large, thick sheet of murky glass that appeared to be a windshield. The crew-member pointed up to the top of the craft where the big disc was slowly rotating, now illuminated by a greenish fluorescent light, and Vilas-Boas could hear a whining sound like a vacuum-cleaner.
The pair returned to the entrance and the crew-member gestured for Antônio to descend the ladder. Back on the ground, he saw the entity point at himself, point to the ground, then point at the southern sky before signalling Antônio to step back. The entity went into the craft before the door closed and the ladder’s rungs collapsed together and disappeared into the wall.
The legs folded into the UFO as it rose, and the top spun faster, changing between several different colours before becoming a vibrant red. A loud “hum” or “whine” could be heard as the craft quickly changed orientation then flew southward at a “fantastic speed.” Vilas-Boas thought he saw a rudder move when it turned.(17)
Aftermath
After the craft flew off, Vilas-Boas returned to his tractor and found that the battery was disconnected. It was now just before dawn, and he estimated that he was on the craft from 1:15 to 5:30 a.m.(18) He felt weak and tired, and slept until 4:30 that afternoon, at which point he felt well enough to eat dinner, but the following nights his dreams replayed the disturbing events and shocked him awake. He also experienced nausea, headaches, and loss of appetite. The second night, he felt a burning sensation in his eyes, which grew worse the next day. For the next month he felt excessively sleepy, even drifting off during the day.(19)
The day after his abduction ended, Antônio returned to the landing site and measured the lengths between the three indentations left in the ground. From this he was able to determine that the craft was around 10.6 metres, or 35 feet long, and 7 meters, or 23 feet wide, at the rear.(20)
Eight days after the incident, Antônio bumped his forearm, resulting in a bruise and bleeding, which became infected and itchy, and left a purple patch around it when it healed. In the following ten days, Antônio found similar wounds appear spontaneously on his forearms and legs, each of which left behind a purple patch that remained for months. Fifteen days after the incident, a pale yellow spot appeared on each side of his nose.(21)
In November, 1957, Vilas-Boas read João Martins’ articles on Brazilian UFOs in the weekly magazine, O Cruzeiro. He wrote two letters to Martins, and sent a wood model of the UFO that he’d carved.(22) A little over four months after the incident, on February 22nd, 1958, Vilas-Boas met with Martins and physician and ufologist Dr. Olavo T. Fontès in Rio de Janeiro.(23) Martins and Fontès recorded over four hours of cross-examination, and Dr. Fontès also conducted a medical evaluation, but he could not explain the two small hyperchromic patches on his chin, or the purple patches around his wounds. Years later, Dr. Fontès said that he felt that the symptoms were due to radiation-poisoning, however, their meeting was too late to conduct blood tests to confirm this.(24)
Sometime ahead of their February meeting, Vilas-Boas had sketched a reproduction of the unusual red lettering above the doorway, and included it in a letter to Martins. Years later, A Brazilian doctor named Walter Buhler sent a copy to linguist and ufologist, Gordon Creighton, but it’s unknown how Buhler obtained the sketch, and it’s impossible to determine if it is the original.(25) At some point in this visit, Antônio also sketched a drawing of the UFO.
After the interrogation, Martins said he wouldn’t be able to publish the story in O Cruzeiro due to lack of evidence, and lack of similar accounts. In the end, Fontès believed Vilas-Boas’ story, while Martins didn’t.(26) Creighton felt that Fontès and Martins had made some agreement to not publish the story at the behest of some U.S. or Brazilian Security or Intelligence Service.(27)
In July 1961, Buhler and Dr. Mario Prudente Aquino travelled to São Francisco de Sales, and had Vilas-Boas draw two more sketches of the craft. Buhler used the testimony to write about the case in his personal bulletin, and shared it with the Brazilian Society for the Study of Flying Saucers, as well as the Flying Saucer Review, which declined to publish on the case. However, Gordon Creighton wrote a series of articles for Flying Saucer Review beginning in 1965. Around the same time, the case was covered in O Cruzeiro. Creighton eventually compiled all the information for a chapter in The Humanoids published in 1969.(28)
Vilas-Boas had a lasting fear that the woman’s gestures meant that he would be captured again and taken to the beings’ home, but was calmed by Dr. Fontes’ suggestion that it meant that she was going to bear his child where she lived.(29) Antônio married within a few years of the incident and had several children, and he eventually became a lawyer. He refused all further interviews until he agreed to appear on Brazilian television in 1978 to correct several inaccurate retellings. Otherwise he hadn’t discussed his experience in detail, not even with family. He maintained the veracity of his account until his death on January 17th, 1991.(30)
Significance
The story of Vilas-Boas was largely disbelieved in its own time, but after the Betty and Barney Hill Case of 1961 brought the phenomenon of “alien abduction” to popular attention, it was clear that his case was a forerunner. Just as in the case of Vilas-Boas, Betty and Barney Hill saw a UFO before being apprehended by “alien” beings and led aboard a landed craft. Pregnancy was a theme in both accounts, with Betty being tested for it.
And many more abductees, or experiencers, have reported sexual intercourse with apparently alien beings, or alien-human hybrids. Hybrid reproduction was a common theme in stories collected by abduction researchers in the 1980's and 90's, including John Mack, Budd Hopkins, and David Jacobs, and many experiencers today claim to have reproductive sex with extraterrestrial or interdimensional entities.(31) However, other ufologists such as Jaques Vallée have criticized the heavy use of regressive hypnosis in these cases, and warned that Hopkins and others might have unintentionally implanted false memories in their subjects.(32)
Furthermore, sex with spirits, gods, demons, and other beings is a notable feature of most ancient religions and traditional mythologies. For example, in his 2016 book The Super Natural, co-authored by Whitley Streiber, professor Jeffrey Kripal shares stories from the Tantric yoga tradition in India that are eerily reminiscent of Western abduction stories. These include bodies of light, and flying “temples” or “royal airships” containing female beings who abduct and sexualize their victims, awakening them on a spiritual level.(33) Several Christian thinkers in Medieval Europe believed that humans could breed with demons, and some Muslim scholars believed the same thing about Jinn, a kind of invisible, spirit-like race of beings that lived alongside of humans.(34)
In February 1978, ufologist Rich Reynolds was approached by Bosco Nedelcovic who had formerly worked for the CIA and Department of Defense, and worked in Brazil for the U.S. Agency for International Development at the time of the incident. Nedelcovic claimed that the Vilas-Boas abduction was perpetrated by U.S. Intelligence as part of Project MK-Ultra, and said that he witnessed parts of the operation from a U.S. Army-owned helicopter, including the spraying of Vilas-Boas with Lorazepam gas at the start of the abduction. From declassified MK-Ultra documents we know the CIA did use drugs on unsuspecting targets, and some ufologists, including Helmut and Marion Lammer, have documented evidence of Military Abductions which simulate aspects of entity abductions.(35) However, Nedelcovic offered no proof of his claims, and it’s been demonstrated that several times in the past, CIA and other U.S. federal officers have deliberately tried to discredit UFO researchers by planting false claims.(36) In 2006, 9 pages of documents were published on The UFO Reality blog which detailed Reynolds’ discussion with Nedelcovic.(37)
Conclusion
In his tell-all Report on UFOs in 1956, Captain Edward Ruppelt of the U.S. Air Force said that at that time, all reports of UFO landings and contact with entities were automatically marked “C.P.” for crackpot.(38) Vilas-Boas’ report was thus largely disbelieved in its own time, but it helped pave the way for the public’s acceptance of the Betty and Barney Hill abduction in 1961. The story that Vilas-Boas told was in many ways an early example of the kinds of abduction narratives seen in the later 20th century, and was the first to present the world with the shocking implication that some of these alien or extra-dimensional beings might be breeding with the human race.
Notes:
1) John Mack in Abductions: Human Encounters with Aliens, revised edition (New York, NY, USA: Ballantine Books, 1995), 444, calls the AVB case the “first publication of an abduction case”; Barna William Donovan calls the AVB case the “first” account of a “modern” abduction in Conspiracy Films: A Tour of Dark Places in the American Conscious (NC, USA: MCFarland & Company, 2014), 54.
2) Gordon Creighton, “Amazing Case,” in The Humanoids, edited by Charles Bowen (Chicago, IL, USA: Henry Regnery Company, 1969), 204, provides the date of the followup interview with Martins and Fontès.
3) Creighton, “Amazing Case,” 230, points out that Captain Edward Ruppelt of the U.S. Air Force said in his 1956 book, The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects (Garden City, NY, USA: Doubleday & Co., 1956), 10, that after 1947 the reports of UFO landings and contact with entities were automatically filed under C.P. for crackpot file, and that Project Blue Book took a similar stance.
