Graham Birdsall: "John Carpenter, Stanton T. Friedman and I, were among those who chose to stand at the back and prick our ears up to an interpreter who had offered to translate the entire talk for our benefit. One of the curious aspects about Brazilian UFO research, is how artists' impressions of various events feature so prominently in a wide variety of their respective publications. Thus, artistic renderings began with slides of a curious creature seen by Varginha residents early on the morning of Saturday, 20 January. These were then followed by photographs, and further artists' impressions of three young girls who stumbled across a similar creature in the afternoon of that same day.

Military officials, drawn in dramatic poses, were seen capturing one of the creatures, before the scene switched to photographs of hospital buildings, and diagrams of medical staff stood over a small coffin-like box.

It was difficult to have every word and sentence explained, albeit through an able interpreter, but Stanton, John and I had heard and seen enough in those 90 minutes to form a shared opinion - something incredible had indeed taken place at Varginha.

Having already digested a considerable amount of information about the incident from representatives of many Brazilian UFO groups prior to the main lecture, the three of us invited Vitório Pacaccini to speak about the case, and his involvement, in the privacy of a hotel room.

Pacaccini immediately accepted our invitation, and before long, the four of us were sitting comfortably, with two cameras trained on a man whose mastery of the English language helped enormously.

For the next two hours, we listened intently, pausing only to ask questions, as the full astonishing events at Varginha unfolded. At the end, as Pacaccini retired for the evening, we were left to ponder over dinner the enormous implications of what had been disclosed.

There are two vitally important features about the Varginha case which cannot be over-emphasised:

Firstly, Pacaccini and the other principal researchers are capable field investigators - not armchair Ufologists. Pacacini has been involved in UFO investigation for 18 years.

Secondly, the information only surfaced in huge quantities because the investigators were quickly on the scene, interviewing and taping dozens of key witnesses, before the authorities could enforce a clampdown.

I returned to England on 13 June, and the following information, photographs and drawings, will hopefully offer readers an insight into these extraordinary events..."
