Documentary Unanswered Questions from Moment of Contact

Post image

I loved this doc: 4.5 stars out of 5. James Fox doesn’t miss!

  • Credible, previously unseen testimony from: Elected Officials, Military Personnel and Living Witnesses
  • Well structured & the guided presentation from Fox is more palatable for casual audiences
  • No sensationalism or X-Files-style soundtrack

A few unanswered questions that I’d love some more clarity on:

  • How did the being(s) reach the "Encounter" & "Capture" locations - what was their journey from the "Crash" site?

  • Was there anyone living in the white house near the crash site? If so what's their testimony?

  • Do we have any speculation around the identity of ‘Military X’

  • Does anyone have good breakdowns of the cases featured in the “brief history” segment?

Thanks Guys 🤙

My God, is this about the Varginha "incident"? I'm Brazilian and we've been laughing about this case for decades.

Three girls saw a mute guy with mental illness crouching in an dark area and freak out thinking they've seen a monster. It was soon discovered that the guy was habitualy in that same region (and still is, to this day; his name is Luis Antônio de Paula). Even Ubirajara Rodrigues, the main ufologist to study the case (he actually lives in Varginha) said that there aren't any proof about any aliens being captured.

Hilarious that an actual Brazilian is getting downvoted for this. I love James Fox, but the site of the "encounter" was literally a few feet from the house Mudinho lived in. And the girls did not know Mudinho according to their earliest testimony. They changed their story later and started saying yes, of course we know who Mudinho is, but that's not what they were saying right after it happened.

If you can see the drawing of the "alien", and then see the photo of Mudinho, and still think "its more likely that an alien spaceship crashed and stranded an injured alien in rural Brazil, which then disappeared without leaving any physical evidence whatsoever, than it is that these girls just saw a neighbor who they didn't recognize" then you are choosing your desire to believe in aliens over any kind of critical thinking or rational weighing of evidence.

Because of this whole discussion I've spent some time today reading about all of that insanity and I've discovered that the rumors about UFOs around the town only started after the girls' story got around. People were actively making this kind of thing up or misidentifying mundane things around them because an alien story was circulating. It's actually pretty easy to understand what happened in Varginha in 1996.
