O Caso do ET de Varginha: Exército Classifica de Absurdas Declarações de Ufólogos

This document is an official military inquiry (sindicância) conducted by the Escola de Sargentos das Armas (EsSA) in Três Corações, Minas Gerais, Brazil, in May 1996. The inquiry was initiated by General Sérgio Pedro Coelho Lima to investigate allegations that the Brazilian Army had captured extraterrestrial beings in the city of Varginha on January 20, 1996, and subsequently transported them to military facilities and potentially the United States. The report compiles testimonies from military personnel, including officers and drivers, regarding vehicle movements during the period of January 22-26, 1996. The investigation specifically addresses claims made by ufologists and media reports that suggested a secret military operation involving the transport of 'EBEs' (Extraterrestrial Biological Entities). The military's conclusion is that no such operation took place. The report provides documentation, including vehicle control logs and maintenance invoices, to demonstrate that the only vehicle movements during that time were routine maintenance trips to a Mercedes-Benz dealership in Varginha. The inquiry concludes that the allegations are 'absurd' and 'ridiculous,' and recommends that the case be officially archived. The document includes various press clippings from the period, which highlight the intense public and media interest in the Varginha incident, as well as the military's firm denial of any involvement.
