Antônio Vilas-Boas Alien Abduction
AntônioVilas-Boas (in many English sources misspelled "Villas-Boas")
(1934–1991) was a Brazilian farmer (later a lawyer) who claimed to have been abducted
by extraterrestrials in 1957. Though similar stories
had circulated for years beforehand, Vilas Boas' claims were among the
first alien
abduction stories
to receive wide attention. Some skeptics today consider the abduction story
to be little more than a hoax, although Antonio nonetheless reportedly stuck to his
account throughout his entire life.
Vilas-Boas'
story
At the time
of his alleged abduction, Antônio Vilas-Boas was a 23-year-old Brazilian farmer who was working at night to
avoid the hot temperatures of the day. On October 16, 1957, he was ploughing fields
near São
Francisco de Sales when
he saw what he described as a "red star" in the night sky. According
to his story, this "star" approached his position, growing in size
until it became recognizable as a roughly circular or egg-shaped aerial craft,
with a red light at its front and a rotating cupola on top. The craft began
descending to land in the field, extending three "legs" as it did so.
At that point, Boas decided to run from the scene. Read more >>
