Villas Boas in the News

The close encounter (very close encounter!) of Antonio Villas Boas is without doubt one of the strangest and most controversial alleged UFO-related cases on record. And now, 50 years after it occurred, the story is once again in the news. For those unaware of the saga, this is a good, new overview of events.

    “He told us, his relatives, that he had been taken aboard a device that landed some 50 meters away from the Grande River and that he had had sexual relations with a short, ugly woman.”

    “Ugly?” Claudio and I repeated, exchanging glances, “but the published reports said that she was a beautiful woman, despite her strange appearance…”

    “No, Antonio always said that she was very ugly, and that he did not know how he felt excited to the point of wanting to make love to her. After the event, Antonio went off to Rio de Janeiro, where a reporter and a doctor investigated his case. They took him off to the United States, forcibly, as though he had been detained, but he wasn’t mistreated. He told me that he didn’t like that trip at all, because he had gone against his will.””

    Good to see this article in english. I had read it some years ago in the excellent spanish magazine “Año Cero”. I remember it startled me to discover the woman with whom Villas-Boas had sex, was ugly and only because he lost his will he was able to mate with her. In all the books and magazines where they retold this case, they always put an illustration showing a beautiful blonde woman with slanted eyes. The perfect space babe.

    But it’s interesting to know that, only after the predominant meme of the visitor has turned from the nordic “space brother” to the hideous gray, that we learn about this…

    Also, one think I love about this case is the “barking” the aliens used to communicate among themselves. I think Tim Burton used that with his tongue-in-cheek movie “Mars Attacks”, but I don’t know if he actually based that decission on this particular case.

    What is nore interesting to me is that he claimed (or at least his sister did in the article) to have been taken against his will to the U.S. where he was shown various models of UFOs (actual machines in hangars, etc) and asked if they looked anything like what he witnessed. Is the UFO community jumping on this one?
