I look upon my writings as a method of education. Most people do not know a lot about the whole UFO phenomenon,
except the humorous blurbs they hear on television news that tend to cast witnesses or researchers in a negative
light, or the occasional sensationalist cable program. What I would like to accomplish is the enlightenment of as many
as possible to a wealth of phenomena that really is occurring in our world involving UFO’s and Extraterrestrials.
Please understand that these are my views based upon my research, and until we capture an alien entity in public,
recover an ET spacecraft without the government’s assistance, etc., my understandings can be subject to change. I
roll with what feels right and with what has appropriate substantiation.
Recently I have been studying a mostly Brazilian phenomenon the locals refer to as “Chupas”. Most things Brazilian
are great, but I finally found one that is not so good. Chupas are a relatively new anomaly in the UFO arena. Most of
the information about this phenomenon is derived from interviews of locals, who might be actual witnesses or can
just fill in the local legends surrounding the subject.
In 1977, the Brazilian government heard complaints of a phenomenon attacking locals. Witnesses describe the
phenomenon as small square metallic objects, a few feet on each side, that flies 20 to 30 feet off the ground, hovers,
and emits a hum most describe resembling that of a refrigerator. These objects fly through the treetops at night and
seem to aggressively attack locals.
The local economy is poor, and residents have to hunt and fish to gather food. They tend to enjoy these activities
and have better results at night, when animals come out searching for prey. Chupas appear near the hunters while
they are stalking through the woods or hiding in hastily made tree stands, directing a bright, focused beam of light on
them. When this light hits its target, complaints of scarring that appeared to be from repeated stabs by small pins
accompanied by a loss of blood (not bleeding, but like a removing of a portion of the blood supply), burning of skin,
and intense pain was experienced that lasted anywhere from a few weeks to years. Locals began referring to this
anomaly as “vampire lights” or “chupa-chupa” (which means the sucker) as a result of the types of wounds
experienced.
The phenomenon seemed to appear first in the area of Para, Brazil, but soon spread to the country’s capital of Belem,
with complaints attacks and injuries pouring in from local citizenry. The Brazilian military launched Operation Saucer in
an attempt to identify the phenomenon. Soldiers were sent to the area to interview witnesses, examine the injured,
and try to observe the phenomenon. Some of the soldiers sent to the area became witnesses themselves, with a
classified 2,000 page report, photos, and almost 16 hours of film.
The leading researcher into this anomaly is a fantastic ufologist named A. J. Gevaerd, editor of Brazilian UFO
Magazine. Among the witnesses he interviewed was one Uyrangê Hollanda, the captain in charge of the military’s
investigation. Captain Hollanda was found dead in his home two months after an in-depth interview with Gevaerd, in
which he shared classified information with the ufologist. The death appeared to be a suicide, but has raised some
suspicion.
Quite a lot to digest. As with most UFO-related incidents, this has a lot of witness and trace evidence, but is not
given very much weight by media around the world. The interesting thing here is that this is not a localized
phenomenon. In the book, The Hunt for the Skinwalker: Science Confronts the Unexplained at a Remote Ranch in
Utah, Dr. Colm Kelleher, PhD and George Knapp record research that they and other scientists with the National
Institute of Discovery Sciences conducted at an undisclosed ranch in the state of Utah, as well as other sites around
the United States. Of the many anomalies recorded, Chupas were seen slowly flying around the property, emitting
the same sound as described by the Brazilian locals.
Are Chupas reconnaissance craft? Are the intelligences behind Chupas taking blood or tissue samples? What are
they searching for? Could it be something specific to the Brazilian populace, or are they simply being preyed upon
because of who they are, where they live, and how they live? Is the remoteness of the region actually a factor?
Could the isolation be beneficial to their goals? Whatever the nature of Chupas, it definitely has the attention of
ufologists, who continue to field reports of sightings and injuries, and press the Brazilian government to release its
still classified report in toto. Until then, researchers and scientists continue their search for answers.
