Many sceptics in the USA and Europe have come up with theories intending to debunk the UFO and the alien abduction phenomena as hysterical side effects of a nutty society. Bob Pratt and his collaborator Cynthia Newby Luce are posing a great and insurmountable challenge to these sceptics. There they are, in NE Brazil, in tiny villages where no one has ever heard of Star Wars or the Grays. This is a typical "Third World" society, a place where people have a thousand priorities in their minds before dealing with "deluxe" questions such as "Are we alone in the universe?" and "Are there intelligent beings on other planets?". Yet every single extended family has experience of strange phenomena that involve UFOs (called "the fire", or "the animal" by many, a proof that this area is not exactly inhabited by trekkies and X-philes and other hi-tech minded people), and some of the most appalling abduction cases ever recorded. There are no Grays involved here, nothing similar to the much publicized cases from the USA, but instead you have humanoid abductors and hints of other dimensions. The stories related in this book are far too off, too much out of quantum physics to have been devised by those isolated and illiterate peasants with no interest whatsoever to appear on TV or to make a buck out of these stories. I have acquaintances in the cities of NE Brazil, and I have discussed this matter with them. All of them are aware of the strange UFO flaps and abductions in their area, and all of them know a relative or a friend or an acquaintance who has experienced something unworldy. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the paranormal.

This book by author and journalist Bob Pratt gives us a good view and explanation of what hapens in the North and Northeast of Brazil. Facts presented in the book show that, if we are being visited by alien beings, they are not always good as some people think. A good field research done by this experienced Ufologist.

This book is about the UFO phenomena in Brazil. The author claims to have interviewed hundreds of witness's and abductees over the years, and this book is said to be a compilation of it.

Thankfully, the author tells you right away that this is a one sided book, and it is. The book covers the ways UFOs are terrorizing people in rural communities of Brazil.

In a nutshell, the UFO scene in brazil differs from anywhere else, in that people report being chased by ufos, emotionally terrorized by them, injured by them, being burned by thier beams of light, being levitated by them, feeling sick after thier experience, and being abducted by thier crews.

None of the people who gave testimony in this book required hypnosis to recollect thier experience, and most share the same opinion... that UFOs terrorize, and in some cases, kill people in Brazil.

That's what's in the book, on the whole, the book gets pretty repititive after the first chapter, as you fell you're reading the same stories over and over, and at the end you don't really know if you should feel more educated about the topic, or whether or not to start questioning the credibility of the author.

The big discrepancy is this: the kind of terrorizing that is described in this book, just doesn't seem to be reported anywhere else in the world, not to this extent. So the question is...

Are UFOs in brazil terrorizing people? or is the content of this book not entirely accurate?

I rate this book 2.5 stars.

The chapter titles tell the reader what to expect from this book, such as: Horror in the Night, It's Coming After Us!, UFO Bait, Run for Your Life, They Took His Teeth, A Broken Man, The Injured, Permanently Zapped, Vampires in the Sky, Stillbirth by Terror. It's written by a journalist. Some of the best UFO books are written by journalists in my opinion. This is up there with John Fuller's books. Bob Pratt made a tremendous effort interviewing the various victims of UFO /alien hostility for this book. Mr. Pratt offers this warning at the end: "[T]he history of UFOs in Brazil shows that they can be a threat to anyone anywhere." Military jets get swallowed up, people and animals get sick and die, horses get drained of blood, livelihoods are destroyed due to people being so traumatised that they are unable to work again. Cases mentioned include those of unquestionable hostility, e.g. a barking dog being zapped by a UFO and the case of a man killed and drained of blood. One witness recounts how in his dreams, "I think the UFO is coming to hit me again with the beam of light. I was afraid the UFO would suck the blood out of me." According to this book, UFOs have been sighted in Brazil since 1952. As for their possible origin, they have been reportedly seen entering and exiting the Amazon river near Colares, so perhaps it is just Brazilians who have reason to fear the "chupa-chupa".

This is an important contribution to the literature on UFO close encounter experiences. The late Bob Pratt reportedly undertook extensive fieldwork in Brazil between 1978 and 1993, interviewing numerous witnesses and gathering information from other researchers. The encounters he describes often resulted in injury. Indeed, in some cases, there appeared to be a fatal outcome.

Assuming that Pratt's reporting was accurate, his research clearly demonstrates that many UFO experiences have a physical component, that close encounters can be dangerous, and that some form of intelligence is often involved.

Pratt provides helpful information on how to pronounce many of the personal and place names he mentions. But his book contains no maps, which is unfortunate, since readers may be unfamiliar with many of the places he refers to. Nevertheless, I would strongly recommend this book to readers with a serious interest in UFO phenomena.

Bob Pratt has an axe to grind. His sponsor MUFON is no longer an independant organization and like others is controled by the Shadow Government. Interestingly enough, this expensive inquiry by an American Journalist takes place far enough from home for anyone to verify any of the alledged facts. Secret Intelligence is very fond of these weird stories they publish to (officialy) test public's gullibility when in fact they seek to accredit the idea that aliens are dangerous. This is their last ploy following the failed disinformation gambit that aliens do not exist. Until such authors expose themselves to the full scrutiny of the public, it is safe to assume that they are subsidized by self serving interests who need an ennemy to go on preparing for war.
