[At] a news conference Tuesday on unidentified anomalous phenomena ... witnesses spoke about a 1996 UFO crash in Varginha, Brazil. Witnesses reported a cigar-shaped object in distress that crashed into a field. Three young women reportedly encountered a nonhuman entity, and there are reports that other entities were recovered, some dead and one possibly still living. The first witness to speak was Carlos, a Brazilian man who says he witnessed the crash of a nonterrestrial craft in January of 1996. He described half the craft being intact, with debris from the rest scattered around and a smell of ammonia and rotten eggs. Carlos said Army vehicles arrived shortly after. The soldiers ordered him to leave at gunpoint. Liliane Silva described encountering a living entity described as a being while taking a shortcut home from work. She described a short creature with red eyes that was brown and looked as if it was covered in oil, with veins from its neck to its arms, and said she felt like the world was being stopped when she looked at it. Silva said she had the sensation that the creature was suffering and needed help. She and the women she was with ran toward her house in fear. Katia Xavier, another one of those women, said she felt fear when encountering the creature, which she said had oily skin, a big head, three fingers on its hand and a big foot. She said she was going to help, but was pulled away by Silva.
