The Varginha Incident

About this episode

The episode explores the mysterious Varginha incident in Brazil, discussing encounters with a strange creature and the implications of military involvement.

This week we’re traveling to 1996 Brazil to dive into the Varginha incident, famously known as "Brazil’s Roswell." Did a cigar-shaped craft crash in the mountains, leaving behind pieces of "memory metal" that defied the laws of physics? We discuss the three young women who came face-to-face with a brown, oily creature with three horns and glowing red eyes, and the tragic story of the military policeman who allegedly died after handling the being with his bare hands. Also, Tom explains why his podcasting skills make him the perfect candidate to lead the FBI, and we look into the recent string of disappearing scientists with high-level security clearance.
