But It Was Aliens

#274 Lead Death Masks of Brazil - Brokeback Hill

12 Jun 2025

Description

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the famous case of the Brazilian lead death masks, 1966. In August of that year, a kite flier found two bodies atop Vintém Hill near Rio de Janeiro. The bodies were well-dressed and had a notebook containing cryptic instructions on what to do before waiting for ‘a signal’ alongside two thick lead masks. Were these masks to protect against potentially alien radiation or intense light? Or was this a peculiar mobster whack? The bodies were peculiarly left by local wildlife for about three days and this one, remains unsolved… Until now.Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/butitwasaliensStore:https://butitwasaliens.co.uk/shop/Probe us:Email: [email protected]/Threads @ ButItWasAliensTwitter @ ButItWasAliensFacebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join Extraterrestrial TowersMusic: Music created via Garageband. Additional music via: https://freepd.com - thank you most kindly good people. Early on there was a section of music from 1998 Nintendo 64’s The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time called Legend of Hyrule, composed by Hero of Sound Kōji Kondō. The game was amazing but the audio in particular sticks with us to this day. Sources:Ranker:  https://www.ranker.com/list/case-of-the-lead-mask-deaths/patrick-thorntonAnomaly Info: http://anomalyinfo.com/Stories/1966-august-17-lead-masksAll That’s Interesting: https://allthatsinteresting.com/lead-masks-case
