Product Description

Bob Pratt has spent over eighteen years researching the Brazilian UFO phenomenon. He has made eleven visits to a number of localities in the Brazilian countryside and investigated over two hundred cases, during which time he has interviewed over seventeen hundred people. The fruits of his labor are always intriguing, sometime frightening, and should give pause to those who would thoughtlessly maintain, without studying the complete score, that all our extraterresrial visitors are friendly and have out best interest at heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars An astonishing book!, August 29, 1999

By	Stergios G. Kaprinis (THESSALONIKI GREECE) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Impressive, June 12, 1998

By A Customer

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Concise and clear, but begs big questions., December 5, 2002

By	Jamie Innes (Christchurch, Canterbury New Zealand) - See all my reviews

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.
