Summary

In 1996, a series of incredibly strange events unfolded over the course of three months in a small town in Central Brazil called Varginha. It allegedly began with an emergency communication from NORAD to the Brazilian government, continued with cigar-shaped UFO sightings, and demonic alien being sightings, and finished with the death of a Brazilian soldier and a one heckuva story. This week, The Sweary Boys tackle the Varginha UFO incident, in full form. What happened in 1996? Were the eyewitnesses credible? Was this a story that just evolved from a small incident into a mass hysteria? Or did an alien invasion really come to Brazil that January in 1996? We (sorta) try to find out, this week on The What If? Podcast.
