by Roger K. Leir (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
If you think that UFOs are not real or that only crazy people believe in aliens, think again. This story was originally reported in the Wall Street Journal, then was forgotten. According to numerous eyewitnesses, an unidentified flying object crashed near Varginha, Brazil on January 20, 1996 and at least two beings were reported to have survived. One was taken to a local hospital for treatment and was operated on while the military stood guard. Join Dr. Roger Leir and follow in his footsteps as he takes you through the entire investigative journey. This could well be the most important UFO story to ever come out, and is a must read for anyone interested in the subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Complete Summary of the Incident, July 14, 2005

By	John Matlock "Gunny" (Winnemucca, NV) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you do a Google search on Varginha you find something like 160,000 entries. Some of these are merely reporting on the city of this name in Brazil. Most of them however relate to the story of a crashed UFO. The report is that in April, 1997 a UFO crashed in the town.

This book consists of research conducted in Varginha by the author. He personally interviewed most of the known witnesses and presents this book as a summary of everything that is known about the incident.

As with the situation in Roswell, the incident occurred, and the military responded. The aliens that were captured were taken away by the military and have not been seen since. Nor is there any physical evidence in the hands of people outside the military that would definitely point to an extraterrestrial origin. ==Unfortunately we are left with a matter of faith. Those who believe in UFO's will remain convinced, those who do not will merely look at like any other story.

Dr. Leir is a podiatrist who has published other books in the general area of UFOlogy.

1.0 out of 5 stars UFO Mishmash in Brazil, August 3, 2005

By	W. C. HAKE (Westminster, MD.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The author is presented as a top flight scientific investigator,however, he does not conduct a scientific investigation. The book begins like a Chamber of Commerce pamphlet on rural Brazil. Finally we get to the "crash" investigation in earnest, but all the author does is run around Brazil listening to 2nd or 3rd hand stories from a local investigator. He manages to visit a few sights, but they present no valuable information so long after the "events"sited in the text took place. He wastes so much time in fact, he finds that he has none left to actually seek out any first hand witnesses for an interview. His field research time has run out. He must return home after leading this reader on an unsatisfactory safari. This is a case unproven.

1.0 out of 5 stars I'm still lost..., August 30, 2005

By	Ubermensch (NYC) - See all my reviews

Wanted more. Author didn't deliver. Second hand info and overt speculation are really all this book has to offer. Author holds himself in such a high regard that I thought the book was more about him and his visit to Brazil than any true crash investigation. Pass on this one. Not worth the time.
