The Humanoids in Latin America Cases 45-65 & Sources

45. Carazinho, State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

On the evening of July 26, 1965, a 15-year-old boy named Adilon Batista Azevedo was lagging behind a party of youths who were going to a cinema. Passing across a piece of open ground on the outskirts of the town, he heard a strange hum and saw two cones of white light in the sky, and then saw two ‘roundish’ craft (one larger than the other) land not far from him. Hiding behind the low circular wall of a well, he saw three entities emerge from one machine and two from the other. The two parties combined, and he could hear their speech, which sounded like nothing he had ever heard in his life.

The beings were about 1 metre 50 centimetres in height, in helmets and one-piece space-suits of a dark colour and small boots. One of them had in his right hand a brilliantly luminous object like a wand.

They conversed in their sibilant language for about five minutes. Then each party walked round its machine three times, bending down and examining the hull. The boy estimated the diameter of the larger machine at 5 or 6 metres, and Dr Buhler’s SBED V Bulletin shows the boy’s sketches of craft and entities. (The latter resemble strikingly the sketches made by the Brazilian farmer Antonio Villas Boas of the people whom he met. See Case 22.)

The inspection completed, they re-entered the machines, which took off with such fantastic speed that in a second or two they were just two more tiny spots of light among the stars.

Adilon ran on to join his friends at the cinema, but soon felt such a violent headache that, after half an hour or so, he had to seek a chemist who gave him some tablets. But to no avail, for the headache lasted five days. Greatly alarmed, the boy’s father took him to a doctor, who prescribed medicines and rest for the headache and for a ‘disturbed heart’.

46. Lima, Peru

A boy living In the Peruvian capital claimed that, at about 7 pm on August 1, 1965, just as it was getting dark, he saw a UFO land on the roof of a building, and saw a creature emerge from it. He described the entity as ‘greenish with hair all covered with green lights, and looking like a toad’.

Two days later, however, another paper explained that the boy had now confessed. He had been reading too much Science Fiction.

(On the whole, one would be inclined to accept this explanation. But when we come to examine Case 47, together with another event which took place In Argentina a month later, one is not quite so sure. I give the ‘other event’ below, It would not, of course, have been included in the present survey, since no entity was seen.)

47. Lima, Peru

According to a Reuter report from Lima on August 7, 1965, the authorities in that capital had recently arrested a band of dangerous cat-burglars, led by an individual with the nickname of ‘Pygmy’. They had been masquerading as ‘Martians’ and, taking advantage of the current fantastic wave of flying saucer reports in Lima, they had fitted themselves out with ‘space-suits’, and had perpetrated a series of bold armed robberies end attacks against householders.

(This report, which came right at the peak of the ‘Flying Saucer panic and psychosis’ in Lima, should be read in conjunction with Case 46 and accompanying Note.)

Incidentally, a. great many of the more than 800 UFO reports received by Flying Saucer Review from the Latin press in 1965 were, like this one, put out by the British news agency, Reuter, When I wrote to their London office that year and enquired why it was that none of these remarkable Renter messages from Latin. America got into our British press, they replied that it was nowimpossible to investigate such a question, as it was all so long ago....)

San Justo, Province of Santa Fe, Argentina

According to La Crónica Matutina ( Buenos Aires) of September 4, 1965, a certain Señor Jose Fernandez, residing at 4,777 calle de Buenos Aires in this small town of N.E. Argentina, was awakened by a strange humming noise at 1.20 am. on September 3. The noise was coming from the flat roof of his own house.

Urged by his wife to investigate, he went up to look, and to his great astonishment beheld an oval object, apparently 2 metres in circumference, which was just rising into the air from his roof. It had a vivid luminosity, varying in colour between white and red, and was producing the hum. It went straight up like a heli­copter, at great speed, and when he examined the spot where it had stood, he found strange marks and traces of combustion.

48. Venezuela

A report dated August 6, 1965, from Caracas, capital of Venezuela, stated that a farmer in that country had seen a ‘mysterious object’ land on his property and leave behind ‘a scorched area 40 yards wide in his corn’. ‘Three strange beings from Outer Space’ emerged from the machine, but, when the farmer began walking towards them, they ‘were whipped back into it’, and it took off at once.

Source: 86.

(This story, which in some astonishing way got into the final edition of the London Evening News, is one of the tiny handful of UFO reports from Latin America that appeared in the British press during the annus mirabilis of 1965.

These entities were whipped back. Can this have any possible connection with the ‘cables’ described in Case 44?)

49. Cruzeiros, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil

According to a France-Presse report dated August 14, 1965, from Rio de Janeiro, a railway worker named Joao do Rio of the village of Cruzeiros was quietly fishing in the river Paraiba when a flying saucer landed nearby, and from it there emerged a strange little man, some 70 centimetres in height, with large luminous eyes, who addressed the fisherman in perfect Portuguese, said that he was from a flying saucer from another world, and authorised Joao do Rio to relate the occurrence to his fellow - countrymen.

Before re-entering the saucer, the little man gave him a strange piece of metal, of a kind that does not exist on Earth, which piece of metal was now undergoing examination at the laboratories of the Brazilian National Railways Coachbuilding Works, with a view to the determination of its composition.

Meanwhile, neighbours of Joao do Rio were quoted as saying that he bad always been regarded as a very serious and entirely reliable individual.

Sources: 87, 88, 89.

(Note: This is another one that got into the British press— the Yorkshire Post of August 13, perhaps because it sounded so comical that nobody would take it seriously. The name Joao do Rio—’John o’ the River’—certainly sounds concocted. But the essential basis of the story may well be authentic.)

50. Salta, N.W. Uruguay

At 11 p.m. on or about August 15, 1965 five persons traveling in a car saw a blinding light, heard a terrifying hum, and saw a UFO land right in front of them on the road. It stalled the engine of their car. The vivid white light of the UFO changed to red, then green, and then yellow, from time to time, after which it dimmed enough for them to see that what lay before them was a leaden-coloured object about 3 metres high and occupying the whole width of the road. It was only about 3 or 4 metres from their car. Three of the people in the party fainted, while the other two sat there petrified with fear.

Inside the UFO was a green light, and it enabled them to see that inside the craft there were three beings who looked human and were moving about and moving their arms.

Suddenly, numerous bursts of reddish-yellow flame shot from the sides of the machine, it rose to about 1 metre above the road, and the terrible hum began again. Then the machine shot straight upwards and vanished.

51. Lima, Pe ru

On the evening of August 17, 1965, a Peruvian woman named Hilda Santa Cruz, an employee of the police authorities, was visited by ‘an extraterrestrial being, presumably a ‘Martian’. He knocked upon the door of her house with the evident purpose of paying her a visit. When she gave the alarm, neighbours appeared, hut he had vanished, and all that was seen was a luminous sphere which passed overhead immediately afterwards at a fantastic speed towards the west.

52. Mexico City, Mexico

At 8.30 a.m. on August 19, 1965, two Mexican students (brothers) named Yago and Payo Rodriguez allegedly saw a large luminous disc, surmounted by a cupola, land in an open field near the Mexican National Polytechnic Institute. They said that the landing-gear of the craft consisted of a great tripod, and that the machine had a sort of ‘radiator’ beneath it which, as it touched down, burnt the grass all around.

From the disc emerged two small beings about 80 centimetres in height and wearing ‘gas-masks’, who left on the ground, in front of the astonished and frightened students, a piece of strange metal. The ‘dwarfs’ then re-entered their machine, which at once flew away.

The students picked up the piece of metal, which bore a peculiar inscription, and handed it over to the Laboratory of the National Polytechnic Institute, where it was undergoing examination.

Scientists from the Institute interrogated the two students and made a careful investigation of the alleged landing-site, where, in addition to the burnt grass and the marks of the tripod, they found drops of some strange sort of fluid, presumably fuel.

A journalist and a photographer, both of the star of the news­paper El Grafico, testified that on the morning of August 24, they went to the spot indicated by the students and there saw the scorched grass and the marks left by the tripod. Large numbers of curiosity-seekers also visited the site and inspected the evidence. Sources: 92, 93, 94.

53. Plato, Argentina

Eduardo Lajan Yacobi, aged 25, and his wife, Teresa Ernestina Acuna de Yacobi, were returning at 11 p.m. on August 20, 1965, to their home at 206 calle San Luis in this city on the Atlantic coast (which has had a remarkable number of UFO sightings) when, at the spot where the calle 9 de Julio crosses 216th street, right inside the city, they heard a loud humming and saw a, luminous oval revolving object, emitting flashes, pass overhead at a. height of no more than 40 metres or so, brushing the tops of the trees. The machine landed at a distance of some 200 metres from them, and they saw figures moving around it as though attending to some defect. These were shining violet-coloured or reddish-coloured figures.

Yacobi wanted to go nearer, but his frightened wife dissuaded him. They remained and watched until the figures re-entered the machine, which took off and was out of sight in a few seconds,

There were other witnesses, so it was later established, who saw either the reddish object fly over or heard the hum,

54. Mexico City, Mexico

One of the most extraordinary stories yet told came on August 23, 1965, from Mexico City, where it was claimed that a party of three students of the La Salle University and another party of boys from a local secondary school had—quite separately and quite unknown to each other—had identical meetings with strange visitors.

The substance of their accounts to the press is as follows. They had encountered, somewhere not far from the city, a huge landed disc 50 metres wide, of a shining metal resembling stain­less steel, and emitting a most intense white light.

The crew of this craft were beings entirely like Earth men, but 2 metres 10 centimetres in height, with fair hair and blue eyes and clad in seamless one-piece garments having a metallic appear­ance and of some unknown fibre.

Both parties of students claimed that they had been invited into this craft and taken out on a three-hour journey to a huge apace station as large as the grounds of the University.

During the flights, both parties noticed that the most

profound silence prevailed in the disc, and they were told that their hosts communicated with each other entirely by telepathy and that the many instruments to be seen In the craft were not manu­ally operated at all, but operated by thought-power.

Arriving at the gigantic space station, they found it occupied by many other extraterrestrial beings who differed greatly among themselves as to size and appearance and were from various sources in our solar system. They also met there a whole Brazilian family who, it seems, had got lost in the jungles of their own country and had been picked up by the visitors. Everywhere aboard the space station the same silence prevailed.

The visitors claimed to be from Ganymede (as large as Mercury, it is the third moon of Jupiter). They said that they were a thousand years ahead of us and that, in addition to Spanish, they knew a great many of our Earth languages. One of the accounts says that they said they knew over 700.

They said that they would make a mass-landing on the Earth in October 1965, for the purpose of effecting a ‘peaceful con­quest’, and of teaching Earth man how to use the power of thought properly and constructively, and not destructively, as we do at present.

(Note: Compare with Case 3. Kraspedon’s book will of course be known in Mexico, and this case may be fraudulent and based on it. However, everything pertinent must be placed on record, and it is important to note that there has been a great deal of material in Latin America pertaining to highly advanced beings said to inhabit Ganymede. These stories and rumours about Ganymede go back at least to 1950, and may all have had their origins in certain alleged psychic contacts made with Space entities through mediums in Buenos Aires. There may be nothing in it at all; all these tales may spring from this original psychic report, but it is essential that every claim be placed on record.) Sources: 96, 97, 98, 99, 100.

55. Cuzco, Peru

Shortly before noon on August 20, 1965, numerous people, including an engineer, Señor Alberto Ugarte, and his wife, and a Señor Elwin Voter, saw a tiny disc land on a terrace of the ancient Inca stone fortress of Sacsahuaman, just outside Cuzco.The discwas about 1.5 metres wide, of a vivid silvery colour, and from it there emerged two small beings of strange shape and dazzling brightness.

Discovering that there were so many people about, the little creatures at once went back into the disc, which took off rapidly and vanished westwards.

56. Near Arequipa, Peru

According to the Lima newspaper La Prensa of August 3l, 1965, two people had recently been driving along the Pan-American Highway when, at a place some 20 kilometres from Arequipa, they saw ‘a strange being, a Martian’, who ‘resembled a shrub, was only 80 centimetres high, and had only one eye’.

The creature was of a blackish colour. In addition to its single golden-coloured eye in the head, it also had ‘other smaller eyes located up and down the body’. A few seconds later, they saw a flying saucer pass overhead.

57. Huanuco, Peru

At 5 a.m. on September 1, 1965, a foreigner who was un­willing to give his name for publication, saw a UFO of oval shape land, at very close range, on an airstrip belonging to a big estate. An entity emerged, some 85 centimetres high, and with a head twice the size of ours. Seeing the man, the creature began to gesticulate and make signs as though trying to communicate. Failing to make himself understood, the being re-entered the machine, which became luminous and then vanished straight up into the sky.

The interesting point is that, beforehand, the man had ex­perienced a strange sensation which seemed to impel him to go to the spot where the craft landed.

Source: 105, 106 (Mr Donald Hanlon’s correspondent in Peru, who sent him an account of this case, knows the witness).

58. Puno, S.E. Peru

Late at night on September 8, 1965, in the patio of a house on the calle Acora in this town near Lake Titicaca, a 7-year-old boysaw seven beings 80 centimetres high each with only one eye. He ran to get help and when his family arrived all they saw was an immensely bright light rising rapidly into the sky. At almost the same time, a well-known sports writer, Jorge Chaves, was driving with his family in the adjacent suburbs of Juli and Pomata, when they saw a strange object settle gently on the road ahead. Chaves tried to approach it, but it rose and vanished at great speed.

During much of August and September there were scores of UFO sightings in Peru. This particular report was confirmed to be correct by the editor of El Comercio ( Lima), Peru’s most serious paper,

59. Sao Joao, State of Pernambuco, N.E. Brazil

At 8.30 am. on September 50, 1965, Antonio Pau Ferro, a 45-year-old peasant farmer of Negro race, was working in his field of maize, when he heard ‘a strange rushing and whistling noise’ and, turning round, he saw two luminous discs about 1.5 metres wide and 60 centimetres thick (one newspaper says 3 metres wide and 1 metre deep) landing slowly a little further down the hill from him. When they were about 30 centimetres from the ground they stopped and shot up again to about 5 metres, leaving below them two small beings of 70 or 80 centimetres who had apparently emerged from them.

The little creatures were manlike, well-built and proportioned, with beardless faces and amazingly smooth reddish-brown complexions, ‘just like wax’, and normal eyes. They wore tight-fitting one-piece garments, but he was too discon­certed to take in more details,

In terror he stood clutching his mattock in one hand and hanging on to a tree with the other. The creatures approached but apparently perceived his fear, and turned away. He heard them talking in an unintelligible language. Just as he was thinking to himself: ‘can these be the flying saucer people of whom we have been hearing?’ they both suddenly turned round, smiled, and began edging back towards him, examining a tomato plant on the way and picking one of its fruits. But they soon turned away again, the hovering discs descended over them, and apparently took them aboard, for when the discs shot vertically into the air with a high-pitched whistle, the little men were gone.

The terrified witness told a neighbouring farmer, Oligario Guliherme da Rocha, what he had seen. During his investigations on the spot in August 1966, Dr W. Buhler saw Senhor da Rocha, who said that when the Negro was telling him about the little men, he was trembling so much that he could not remain on his feet and had to sit down, and his face, instead of being the dark colour normal to his race, was positively yellow.

Dr Buhler discovered that although nobody else had seen the discs or entities, two people in the village had heard the strange loud hum.

60. Huancavelica, Andean Region, Peru

Another Reuter report, dated September 13, 1965, from Lima to the Argentine and Brazilian press (it did not reach the British papers!) stated that, on September 12, two small ‘Martians’ were seen near Huancavelica, south-east of Lima, and that shortly afterwards a squadron of one large leading disc and four smaller discs flew around over the district for three or four minutes and were seen by hundreds of Peruvian peasants and also by many officials.

Meanwhile, a week previously, at 5 a.m. on Sunday, Septem­ber 12, La Sebastian Mancha, the military officer administering the small nearby Andean town of Santa Barbara, had watched, for the space of two minutes, two ‘Martians’, 80 centimetres in height, walking about on the snow near Lake Ceulacocha. When they got into their saucer and flew away, there was a noise like thunder, and marks were left in the snow by the machine. During the same night many residents of Huancavelica watched two UFOs flying about above the town for two hours,

61. Pichaca, District of Puno, S.E, Peru

At 4.30 p.m. on September 20, 1965, in the small town of Pichaca, a shepherdess saw six entities between 80 and 90 centi­metres in height emerge from a landed UFO. They were talking in an incomprehensible language which sounded to her ‘like the cackling of geese. She fled and hid. The creatures left some marks on the ground, consisting of a liquid resembling oil. The clothing of the entities was white and emitted intermittent flashes of light.

62. Arequipa, Southern Peru

On September 29, 1965, two men named Julio Lopez de Ramana and Antonio Chaves Bedoya were traveling by car when they narrowly missed running down a strange being that was on the road. It was about 80 centimetres in height and had only one eye. It had silver and golden stripes around its body. Shortly afterwards, a UFO appeared and flew along above the car for some time. A few minutes later, at a place 20 kilometres from there, a UFO was seen by various people, flying very low.

(This report was checked by the chief editor of the Lima newspaper La Prensa, a very serious paper, and the Arequipa police have a file on the case.)

63. Santiago del Estero, N. W. Argentina

According to a report dated October 4, 1965, from Santiago del Estero, a schoolboy, Luis Ramirez, and the schoolgirls Maria Adela Cabana and Rosa Carbajal, pupils of the Argentine National School No. 982 at Puesto Beltran, in the Loreto district, were going to get some water from a reservoir not far from their school when they encountered a gigantic being which rolled on the ground and then vanished mysteriously in a cloud of dust.

64. Salta, Northern Argentina

On or about October 4, 1965, a schoolboy, Santos ValIejos, and two schoolgirls, Antonia Aparti and Adela Sanchez, were on their way to school (the Libertador General San Martin School) when, at a place where the road runs through wooded hills, they noticed ‘several creatures of short stature, greenish skin, and only remotely resembling human beings’.

The creatures tried to catch the children, who fled in terror to the school, where they told their story to the headmaster.

The latter commented that a similar case took place two years ago.

65. Alto dos Cruzeiros, Municipality of Canhotinho, State of Pernambuco, N.E. Brazil

This case caused a sensation in the Brazilian press and set the whole State of Pernambuco in an uproar.

On October 26, 1965, a saucer was seen flying over the area, and at about noon a 56-year-old mechanic named José Camilho Filho, a man of some education and of excellent repute, ran into two entities who may have belonged to its crew.

Passing along a road through a belt of scrubland containing many banana trees, he suddenly rounded a bend and beheld two young people sitting on the stump of a fallen banana tree. This in itself at once struck him as odd, for even small children know better than to sit on such things, as they leave ineradicable stains on clothing. But when the two people jumped to their feet, he saw that they were only 80 or 90 centimetres in height and certainly not normal folk.

Their complexions were brown, and their faces ‘shriveled’ and furrowed like those of old people. (Note this complete contrast with Case 59.) Their hair was white, their heads rather large in proportion to their bodies and very round, and their eyes were slit like those of Orientals but, he thought, proportionately larger than in human beings. One of the little men had a sparse beard and wore a dark peaked cap. The other was bare-headed. Both appeared to have white hands (possibly white gloves?).

One was carrying under his arm a rod-shaped object about 50 centimetres long and about as thick as an electric torch. When he saw the Brazilian and jumped up, be ‘looked so astonished that it seemed his eyes would leap from their sockets’, and he made a gesture with the other hand towards this apparatus under his arm as though thinking of using it against him. The other little man, who seemed much less alarmed, wore a blue shirt-like garment, olive-green trousers, and ‘shoes which looked like tennis shoes’. The material of his clothing looked ‘tropical’ and ‘shiny’. But the most remarkable feature was his ‘luminous belt’ (described in some accounts as a ‘luminous shield’). Thiscovered the upper part of his chest, from shoulder to shoulder and from it there flashed out vivid lights, bluish-red, yellow, and green, ‘like the flashes from an electric welding kit, so bright that you could not look at it’.

Between the entities stood a cylinder about 1 metre 20 centimetres high and 15 centimetres in diameter. The man with the flashing lights, who was the nearer, now jumped to his feet also and grabbed this cylinder by a handle in the middle of it, and began running off, staggering as he did so, and he collided with his companion so that both nearly fell to the ground. The Brazilian meanwhile bad also taken to his heels, but looked back in time to see them vanish among the trees.

Two local people said later that at just shout the time in question they saw a light or a luminous body flying overhead. Dr Welter Buhler visited Canhotinho in August 1966, made exhaustive enquiries, and questioned José Camilho Filho in detail.
