There are places on Earth where the line between the known and the unknown wears thin. Brazil is one of them. It's a country of rainforest, rare minerals, and some of the strangest UFO encounters ever recorded. Lights over the Amazon, beams from the sky, a creature with red eyes and skin that's lethal to the touch. There's no one better to walk us into that mystery than today's guest, Aldo Ribello.

What sparked Aldo Rebelo's interest in UFO phenomena?

Jesse Michels 0:45
Brazil's former minister of defense, current presidential candidate, and a man who's spent decades at the center of Brazilian power. A man who's probably seen firsthand into the UFO vault, and who said on the record that if the United States opens its own files, he'll open Brazil's. Of course. Today, he's also the man who will look you dead in the eye and tell you that the phenomena is real.
Aldo Rebelo 1:12
The records about such unidentified celestial phenomena date back to antiquity.

What were the Chupa Chupa attacks in Colares?

Jesse Michels 1:20
They're not new. In this unprecedented candid conversation, we cover it all. We get into the Chupa Chupa attacks in Calares in the 70s, where UFOs in the Amazonian night sky allegedly fired mysterious beams that left villagers with burns, blood loss, and puncture wounds. A multi-month event affecting 200 people, so serious that the Air Force ran a real investigation on it called Operation Prata. We touch on Brazil's mass UFO radar incursions of 1986, an unforgettable night for the Brazilian military. And then there's Varginha, Brazil's very own modern-day Roswell. Ribello basically acknowledges that in 1996, in the small city of Virginia, something crashed. It was recovered, and a non-human creature or multiple creatures with slick, oily brown skin and big red eyes was seen by multiple witnesses and even treated by a neurosurgeon in a hospital.

I know that sounds like a Spielberg movie you'd want to watch. It's actually a case that Spielberg is familiar with. Except this isn't Hollywood. This is the former Brazilian Minister of Defense sitting across from me, telling me it was real. In America, our equivalent would be a former Secretary of Defense, like a Jim Mattis or a Robert Gates. saying that Roswell was real, saying candidly that yeah, a saucer probably did crash in New Mexico, and beings probably did emerge from it. And in doing so, he gives validation and voice to all the witnesses, researchers, doctors, military personnel, and ordinary people who have been attacked, dismissed, and ridiculed over this subject for decades. and he provides shelter and safe haven to those who haven't come out yet.

Believing that a phenomenon like this exists, of course. To Ribello, the real question isn't whether the phenomenon has occurred. It's where it came from, why it was here, and what it means for the future of science, society, defense, and where humanity stands in the universe. So with that, enjoy this historic conversation with Aldo Ribello, Brazil's former Minister of Defense, current presidential candidate, and the man who'll tell you that some of the strangest stories you've ever heard might also be the truest.
