Hello and welcome to the podcast UFO.
Warning, today's case is alien abduction case.
This case took place back, the started on August 19th, 1962 and
the actual abduction took place on the morning of August 20th.
1960 to, this is really a bizarre case.
It's extremely well documented. And the part that's most
interesting about it actually is the fact that there was a
newspaper article written about the The case, I don't know,
within a week or two after it happened, because the article of
course, is written in Portuguese, because the case the
event happened down in Brazil in the territory, I believe.
It's called mean, is gross. I can't pronounce it and there's
a city down there called that Manteo.
Which basically is a play on the word diamonds.
This was a diamond prospecting area, and there was a little
town down there near there. Now, this is 1962.
A lot of times when you think of Brazil, you might think of the
rain forests jungles and that sort of stuff.
But from what I can see online and I could research about this
part of part of Brazil is in the south eastern part of the
country, which puts it in the Southeastern part of the
continent in South America. And it looks like a lot of
Rolling Hills, almost mountainous areas.
A lot of agricultural areas of beautiful area.
Seems like today, maybe they've damn some places and have some
reservoirs. But it still has a lot of those
almost mountainous, Brook areas. And apparently this is where the
victim that by the name of rivelino Mafra and his three
boys were living. And this poor guy was down
there, trying to pan for diamonds.
It sounds like he was entitled prospector and from what I've
been able to find the the the poor prospector still try to
find diamonds there today. The same way they did back in
1962, they go out there. With a pan, like, your pan for
gold and they just swirl that thing around and, you know,
hopefully they get lucky to come across the diamond enough to
feed her family. Well, this poor gentleman is out
there living out in. You can imagine, you know, 50
years ago this would not have been developed.
The biggest town was the town of DiMaggio, which was, I think the
article said about 16 miles away, 20 kilometers, and it had
like, 16,000 people in it. And so he was living away from
there, and they were Just basically out in the sticks in
this tiny village panting for diamonds, just subsistence they
had nothing. They were just dirt for
literally and the poor guy's wife had died about a year
earlier and he was raising three boys by himself 12 6 and 2 I
think and by all accounts they were impoverished and
partnership point that at least a 12 year.
Old boy was described as malnourished.
Now, the story starts out from the article at least that it was
written. In a magazine or a newsletter, I
suppose you could call all of the time and this magazine was
called a pr0 and that would be Ariel.
Phenomenom report is called the AP r-- o--.
Bulletin the official copyrighted publication of
aerial phenomenon, research organization and this is a this
is an article written from September.
Of 1962, the several articles in here.
They're all fun to read and this is this is a Dobby picture of
it. So just go online, click on the
link and takes you right to it and it's one of the articles in
here and you got to get on that. The page, 32 find words
continued at but what happened was after the abduction.
There was a newspaper article written but of course it was
written in Portuguese. Like I said.
And so that article is translated and within a couple
weeks And see this is September that abduction happened in
August. These people had reprinted the
story and the AP, r-- o--, Bolton bulletin.
And this is really looks like a really well-done UFO little
newspaper. I guess you would call it, and
it's super interesting says here has a headline for Tucson.
Arizona September 1962, so that's apparently where it was
printed at, but I read the articles on it.
The ones I found a really well done.
And they treat the subject with a lot of respect.
And it's interesting to note that they're already calling it,
a phenomena back then, and not an object, okay?
So anyway, back to the story. They report.
Come down here, the author describes the, he went to the
Village then. Well, he went to the nearest
town. Were they taken this boy at?
Before he disappeared, that went this and it says here.
They're talking about mr. Ruby.
Lee knows too. Little son who actually
witnessed the abduction. It says he is only a small boy
who has never attended school and doesn't even know the
alphabet. He lives in a small house and a
lonely spot about 28, km from DM and Tina.
He helps or helped his father as the oldest son, taking care of
the two, small brothers and doing all the housework, his
mother died about one year ago, and then it describes where they
lived at. And just basically it's in the
middle of the The Wilderness and then we'll know we're at least
and they had no television, no radio, no school.
This kids just been brought up like you know what the just just
like totally primitive conditions.
It's got it brother. It says Fatima 6.
And dude and you're so to this boy's name was I think it was
from any way. You can go to article luck now,
then it begins to describe how I began on the 19th and this is
The weird stuff starts to happen.
This was like a prolonged deal. The boy says it was a weird.
This is translated, says it was a weird Shadow.
Not looking like ours, he's describing what him and his dad
at the Boise and the house. The night before, the abduction
because was half the size of a man and not shaped like a human
being. We remained in the bed quiet and
a shadow looked at us. Then it moved to the place where
my brothers were sleeping and looked at them for a long time.
Without touching their bodies afterwards, it left our room,
Umm across the room and disappeared near the outer door.
Now, imagine this dad and he's three little boys.
Sleeping. This probably was one of
one-room Shack and the strange Shadow the size of half a human
comes in and just helps itself looking around.
And there was just scared to death.
You can tell again, we heard steps of someone running and a
voice said, this one. Looks like rivelino my father
then yelled who goes there. There was no answer father left
the bed and went to the other room.
When the voice asked again, if he was really really, oh, my
father answered, it was right. That rivelino was his name and
there was no answer, but came back to bed and hurt.
Clearly, their talk outside saying they were going to kill
father. My father started to pray aloud
and the voices outside said there was no help for him.
They talk no more. Now, this, this episode right
here of the abductions, you sounds, it sounds demonic to me.
I mean, it's just terrible. So you have this poor man.
He's widowed. He's got these three little
boys, he's living this one-room Shack in the middle of nowhere,
trying to tan enough water and dirt to find a diamond to feed
him and in the middle of the night.
This strange paranormal creature comes creeping in the house and
then after it goes outside, identifies him and he hears it
speaking to other entities, describing how they're going to
kill him very, very nasty stuff. It's the boy goes on to tell the
interviewer, we pass the night awake in the mornings.
Still afraid. I had the courage to go outside
to get my father's horse in the field, but then I decided to
balls floating in mid-air side by side.
Two meters from the ground, one meter from each other, and a few
meters away from our door. They were big.
Now later on, we find out the other villagers.
Also saw these big these balls. And it sounds like they were
pretty good size. Like plenty.
Big enough to fit a person in they were big one of One of them
was all black and then it says had a kind of irregular antenna
protuberance now. I can't imagine that the boy use
those words but that's the words they used to translate it.
So he's telling us that there are these two large balls laying
next to the house. It's not like space probes and
they have antennae sticking out of enough course, this little
boy out, you know, in the middle of nowhere wouldn't have known.
But this this is how they described what he told them,
translated from Portuguese and English and it says they had a
small tail, the other was black and White with the same,
outlines with antenna and everything.
Now, in this article, they actually have this one or
another one's eye. That liked the boy, actually
Drew pictures of these two things, and they're not so much
round as they are ecliptic. Little ones, pure black ones,
black and white striped, and they clearly show a large
antenna looking wire. Strung behind them.
Very strange, they both admitted a humming sound and appear to
give off fire through an opening that flicker like a Fly
switching, the light on and off rapidly.
I was frozen by fear. I called father to see those
strange flying objects. He came out of the house still
praying and ask about what these things could be.
His eyes locked on them. He warned me to stay away and
walk toward the objects. He stopped at a distance of two
meters at that moment. The two big balls merged into
each other. There was only one now bigger in
size. Raising dust from the ground and
discharging. Aging of the yellow smoke with
dart which darken the sky with strange noises that big ball
crept slowly toward my father. I saw him and felt by Yellow
Smoke and he disappeared incited.
I ran after him into the yellow Cloud which had an acrid smell.
I saw nothing only that yellow Mist around me.
I yield for my father but there was no answer.
Everything was silent again. Who's on to say then the Yellow
Smoke dissolved. The balls were gone.
My father was gone. The ground below was clean as if
the desk had been removed by a big broom.
I was confused and desperate they walked in circles around
the house looking for father but I found no tracks Footprints.
Remarks was this, the work of the devil, my father had
disappeared in midair. I have searched the planes fills
and thickets with no results and watch the flight of vultures
looking for Clues to locate his But I saw nothing five days,
have passed and nothing was found.
As my father, did take him by the globe's.
I want my father back and then it goes on here and it has a
dateline tells refers to the report by Lieutenant.
Let's Bono's and it was taken at Janeiro Korea di Mana.
So anyway goes on then, describes the police
investigation. Of course, the police didn't
believe the boy, they took him. In and cross-examined him, they
couldn't find a body. They couldn't figure out how in
the world. This little malnourished boy.
Could he kill his dad? And why it would have even
wanted to kill his dad at first, I thought maybe somebody else
had killed his dad and maybe his dad had found some diamonds or
something and one of the local Diamond Hunters, it killed him
trying to you know, affect a robbery and that they threaten
the kid. But the more they cross examine
the kid and the more they talked to the local neighbors and
people live around there. They just Couldn't see that.
That would be the case. That the police did do a police
report. They went in, they inspected the
scene, the crime scene, it says that about 50 meters away.
Now some reports claim, there's blood in the house but what this
report here says it was written a week after and this is the
report that talked to the police.
It says about 50 meters away with talking about whether the
abduction occurred. A few drops of blood were found
lieutenant. Atlas boa collected samples and
the analysis, identified them as human blood, the search for the
missing body, spread through the whole District of diamond Tina,
Tina, it took 10 days. Police dogs were sent from below
or resent oh, Bloodhounds trained by the military police
to follow tracks and find missing people.
They found nothing a complete investigation are really in his
past life, possible of Affairs, enemies, friends, relatives
Senators, undertaken. No clues were found.
Now, the fact that they would even bother to bring in
bloodhounds for disappearance of a poor Diamond.
Prospector, like, this tells me that somebody, somebody in high
places had some pretty serious questions about this because
they've gone to Great Lengths to find this guy and they go on and
then that the article goes on it and then it begins to list
multiple other sightings that had taken place before.
And after this abduction, and this seems to be something that
we see a And a lot of these abductions, if you have read any
of a data pilate stuff or you read some of the articles that
we've talked about here in the podcast, it's not uncommon to
find out that these UFOs or phenomenal whatever you want to
call them. Have appeared, multiple times to
mash groups days before during and after the event, or
abduction or whatever. In some cases, the crash
landing. When nobody gets hurt cases like
this. People serve people can
disappear even die. And goes on and talks about just
multiple cases. You can look this up online.
But what what it amounted to was that on just before the
abduction, people had seen flying balls a day or two before
the abduction, won a couple of the men that mr.
Ruby. Lee Nia had been prospecting
with you, relate to them. I think the story goes that as
he'd come home a day or two before their work, Pull of small
strange looking beings about three foot tall were digging a
hole in his yard and that when he went to approach them they
disappeared into the thicket and a orange or red globe, darted
off to the sky. Almost as if they were stalking
him is what it sounds like sometimes you do hear about this
when these abductions take place people go missing, it's almost
as if there's a little bit of a hot going on prior to the
abduction and and it's as if they're being stalked by some,
you know, strange alien whatever, very scary stuff.
Actually article goes on really goes on quite at length and he
goes into detail about some other UFO sightings by priests
by their congregations and a lot of them are have a lot of
similarities with what that the two craft that the board
reported any way that he puts a lot of background into the
story. I mean, you could take an hour
to read this Aang, and then he goes on and discusses.
How the young boy was eventually, says, here at Sea on
August 30th, the boy arrived at Bill Horizonte.
He had a companion, mr. Antonio Del curvy.
Accrues the commissioner of the state child's department at
Diamond Edition. Tina.
So what happened was, obviously the authorities, got involved,
because you've got a missing dad and we can only hope the other
two kids down. Proper shelter, This Is 50 years
ago. 56 years ago, and they got this 12 year old boy, they still
hadn't been able to solve the crime and they still, you know,
they still need proof that this kid wasn't, you know, mentally
not right. And or maybe the, he knew
something about his dad's disappearance.
And he was afraid to say. So, I take him in for a mental
health check-up, which he passes, but it says here that he
had a mission, taking the boy to the proper authorities and
capital at that moment. Real curiosity at been aroused
about the kid and he was interviewed by the whole press
and even appeared on television program.
Then Colonel Mario guava Secretary of public Security in
the state of meaning Gary. That's what has happened at took
charge of the case, ramudu was questioned cross-examine
photographed and again, submitted to medical and
psychiatric examination. Three days later, he was taken
to the custody of a military authorities and Air Force plane
took him to Rio De Janeiro. Narrow where he disappeared
behind the protection of a tight security ring.
No one knows where he is now. And that seems to be most of the
end of the story. I did read where some sources
believe that he passed away in 2000, God only knows what
happened to this, poor kid once, they got him behind, you know,
government barbed wire, you know, are taking him in there,
supposedly to assess his mental condition.
But Was what his mental condition was like, when they
got him out of there. And then it goes on to say,
there was a body found behind the house are about a year
later. And they make the assumption
that it was rivelino the boys dad, because of the bill that he
was wearing and a lot of people seem to think, well that proved
that there was no alien abduction.
Well, that doesn't prove anything to me because if you go
through the polite, he's cases, you'll find that that a lot of
these cases. Somebody He may go missing
probably most of the time they don't show back up but sometimes
they do and this is like ladies finds out some of these people
end up halfway up the mountain side places that should never be
a so whether or not that was his actual body, who knows.
But it's an interesting case, it's got a lot of detail to it.
And the thing that's most interesting is the fact that it
was all documented as it happened by this newspaper
reporter you gives you sources and he tells what happened the
kid and who was involved with the case.
So that to me Me ends up whole new level of believability to
what happened here and I just, I'd recommend going on the site,
check out the link, it's a great resources.
It's a fun read scary read that it's a really, really neat case.
Well, that's all for now, over and out UFO warning.
