Full Report

Antonio Da Silva was fishing at a lake near Belo Horizonte when he sensed someone creeping up behind him. Suddenly, an intense beam of light blasted his legs and paralyzed them. Two 4-ft-high humanoids wearing silver suits and masks appeared and seized him. They dragged him into a cylindrical craft and forced a helmet over his head. After an “interminable” journey, he was blindfolded and frog-marched off the craft.

When the blindfold was removed, Da Silva found himself inside a stone chamber face-to-face with a stocky dwarf, who was staring at him “with apparent satisfaction”. “His long tresses, reddish and wavy, fell down behind past his shoulders to the waist. His beard was long and thick and came down to his stomach. His skin was light-coloured, very pale. His eyes were round, larger than is the norm with us, and of a green shade.”

The brightly-lit cavern was decorated with paintings of animals, landscapes and vehicles. Four motionless human bodies were lying on a low stone shelf, and Da Silva wondered if they had been killed by his captors.

A dozen more dwarves, identical to the first, entered the chamber and clustered around the bewildered soldier. They made him drink some green liquid from a pyramid-shaped stone chalice. Then they searched his pockets and helped themselves to his identity card, some fishhooks and a single banknote.

Using a mixture of sign language and drawings, the dwarf leader asked Da Silva if he was willing to be “their guide among men”. The soldier demurred and nervously fingered his rosary, praying for divine intervention. The leader angrily snatched the rosary away and threw it to the floor, where the other dwarves noisily squabbled over the scattered beads.

A robed and barefoot Christ-like figure then appeared and spoke to Da Silva in his native Portuguese. The dwarves seemed unaware of the figure’s presence. The apparition made a mysterious revelation concerning “the future of humanity” (which Da Silva refused to disclose) then vanished.

Da Silva found himself stranded outside Vitoria, 200 miles away from where he had been abducted. He was astonished to discover that four days had passed during his absence.
