ET RELATED HOMICIDE IN BRAZIL:
THE COMPLETE STORY
By G. Cope Schellhorn
If this case is authentically UFO-related - and at this time I have no
reason to believe it is not - then all of us are going to have to reevaluate to
one degree or another our tentative conclusions as to the possible specific
intentions, moral perspectives and general agenda that some of our
extraterrestrial visitors may have.
There have been rumors of homicidal, UFO-related, human mutilation cases
for some time now but hard evidence has been lacking. Until, perhaps, now.
Brazilian ufologist Encarnacion Zapata Garcia and Dr. Rubens Goes have recently
presented a series of sensational photographs, obtained from police files which
mimic the wounds of countless UFO-related animal mutilation cases that have
been reported in Europe and North, Central and South America since the 1960s.
On first glance they would seem to be ufology's worst nightmare.
What is more disturbing is that Brazilian ufologists and police have
intimated that there may be at least a dozen or more cases similar to the
recently uncovered Guarapiranga reservoir case. If this is true, it is somewhat
doubtful that any of this potential new material will ever see the light of
day, given the official attitudes now prevailing in Western power circles. But we
can be grateful for fortuitous disclosures, and the Guarapiranga case and it's
accompanying photographs seem to be just that. A great stroke of luck, albeit a
dismaying one. Obviously if the Guarapiranga data is legitimate, then it
becomes increasingly difficult to maintain the position that all visitors are
demonstrating a relatively friendly attitude toward humans, regardless of what
their specific agenda(s) may be. The Guarapiranga situation indicates that
there is at least one group of alien visitors to the planet who have a complete
disdain for human sensibilities, who, in fact, could care less about the value
of human life.
When I learned of the Guarapiranga case through Brazilian ufologist A.J.
Gevaerd, who first published the related photos in his magazine UFO, my
interest was stimulated and I quickly made plans for a trip to Brazil. In Sao
Paulo I met Encarnacion Garcia at the home of well known ufologist Claudeir
Covo and talked with her later at length. Then I traveled to Campo Grande and
questioned Gevaerd. He was kind enough to supply me with second generation
photographs (the best available) of the Guarapiranga reservoir victim having
himself become thoroughly convinced that the evidence supporting the case was
authentic and that the case was UFO-related. I came to the same conclusion
because all other alternatives were neither supported by facts nor good logic,
whereas the similarities to numerous cattle mutilations which I had studied in
the United States were startling, exactly paralleling what I have seen many
times before.
The specifics of the case are as follows:
Encarnacion Garcia learned from her friend, Dr. Rubens Goes, that he was
in possession of some rather "odd" photos which had been given to him
by his cousin, police technician, Rubens Sergio. These were official photos of
a body that had been found near Guarapiranga reservoir on the 29th of
September, 1988, of an unnamed male who was, however, later identified. The
name of this man has been withheld from all media investigators, including UFO
investigators, at the request of his relatives.
After studying the photos, Encarnacion Garcia was impressed with how
similar the wounds of the body were to those found on the carcasses of so many UFO-related
mutilated animals, knowledge which the original investigating police officials
and medical doctors involved with the case did not possess. Surprisingly, Dr.
Cuenca, head of the primary investigation, offered his files on the case. This
is the stroke of luck which I previously mentioned and for which we can all be
thankful. These included the all-. important autopsy description to which I
will momentarily refer.
The initial police report, however, was not extraordinary in nature
except for the recognition that the body, although extremely mutilated, had not
met with unusual violence; that is, there were no signs of struggle or the
application of bondage of any kind.
It was the autopsy report itself which was most revealing, especially
when we compare the remarks made there with what we have learned from animal
mutilation cases elsewhere. It is imperative to remember, as I have stated
previously, that the individuals conducting the autopsy had no knowledge of
similar animal mutilation cases. This makes the official remarks of the report
all the more revealing in retrospect.
Encarnacion Garcia received copies of seven photos. I have included the
five most revealing ones here with a description and commentary. The work of
the perpetrators of this atrocity: the kinds of cuts made, the precision of the
cuts, the removal of whole internal organs through small apertures, the lack of
bleeding, the failure of the body to smell or decompose rapidly - all these are
hallmarks of UFO-related animal mutilations. These peculiarities would seem to
rule out Satanists, revenge- seekers or casual mutilators and go beyond even
the capacities of a modern Jack the Ripper.
photo #1: Face and upper torso photo. The body was in perfect condition.
Rigor mortis had not set in and it was estimated that the victim had been
killed approximately 48 to 72 hours previously. There were no signs of animal
predation or putrefaction which might be expected. Strangely, there was no odor
to the cadaver. Bleeding from the wounds had been minimal. The black coloration
found in the face area and in other places within the photo is partly due to
low light exposure when this photo and others were taken. It is also partly due
to coagulated blood in the wound areas.
As can clearly be seen, flesh and lips have been excised around the
mandibles, as is common in cattle and other animal mutilations, the autopsy
report noted that "the eyes and ears were also removed and the mouth
cavity was emptied." Removal of these body parts, including the tongue as
here, is common enough in animal mutilation cases.
As Encarnacion Garcia rightly recognized, if a comparison of the victim
with animal mutilation cases is made, "You can see they are the same - and
that is also the conclusion of experienced doctors." The doctors drew
their conclusion only after they had been shown photographs of similar animal
mutilation cases, cases with which they were not previously familiar.
The autopsy report states: "There has been a removal of extensive
tissue along many parts of the face, head and neck of the victim... There has
also been extraction of ocular tissue, eyes, auditive internal and external
organs (ears) and entire parts of the head. The tongue and several muscles were
also extracted."
The kinds of cuts on the cadaver are what we have come to expect in
UFO-related animal mutilation cases. Of primary interest is their precision.
The "surgery" (or butchery, if you will) was done with agility and
care and probably with speed. The lack of profuse bleeding suggests the use of
a laser-like instrument producing acute heat, thus cauterizing almost
immediately the edge of the wounds. This is a speculation on my part, however,
:although there are numerous precedents. Many of the cases studied by Dr. John
Altshuler in the United States exhibit this kind of high heat, rapid surgery.
Whether it would still be possible to test fragments of the flesh from the
victim's wound areas is doubtful. Suffice it to say the wounds appear to be
exact replicas of cases studied by Dr. Altshuler, Tom Adams, Bob Pratt, Ted
Oliphant, Linda Howe, Colman VonKeviczky and myself.
Photo #2: Face and upper torso with arms outstretched. Perhaps it is best
to begin here with several quotes from the autopsy report. "The axillary
regions on both sides showed soft spots where organs had been removed.
Incisions were made on the face, internal thorax, abdomen, legs, arms, and
chest." As Garcia observed, the doctors stated that these wounds were
quite uncommon. The report also observes, "Shoulders and arms have
perforations of 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter where tissue and muscles were
extracted. The edges of the perforations were uniform and so was their size.
The chest had shrunk due to the removal of internal organs."
In other words, internal organs were removed or sucked somehow through
these small circular incisions. Why such a technique? Some doctors today are
using a similar method to remove diseased tissue and organs from their human
subjects - but this kind of procedure injures those organs in the process. Did
the "surgeons" who worked on this victim care whether the organs were
injured or not? What kind of specimens were they looking for? What kind of
research is this? Wouldn't it be easier and more medically expedient to abduct
a human specimen and study it live, including its anatomy and physiology, in a
properly equipped laboratory? It would appear that the perpetrators of this act
did not care if the man's life was lost nor did they care if the body were
found. Here we have strong indication of a total disregard for the specimen
and, by extension, for human life in general. The body was left as trash. What
does this say about the perpetrators and their attitudes?
The photo clearly shows the symmetrical holes in the man's arms. One arm
clearly shows the sunken area near the perforation clearly, demonstrating where
muscle has been extracted. The shrunken chest area also indicates a similar
process of internal extractions. It is significant that the police and medical
examiners were convinced the holes found in the head, arms, stomach, anus and
legs were not produced by bullet wounds.
Photo #3: Close up of the left side of the victim's head. Here we see
that the ear is cleanly excised. As the report states, "auditive internal
and external" matter was removed The photo does not show the small holes
discovered in the cranium. These were detected, however, by the medical
examiners. How much, if any, of the brain tissue was removed is not stated.
Photo #4: Close up of lower torso including thighs. The stretcher, pants
and cord that are visible belonged to the rescue team. The autopsy report
continues, "You also find the removal of the belly button leaving a 1.5
inch hole in the abdomen and a depressed abdominal cavity showing the removal
of the intestines." Brazilian doctors who later viewed the evidence were
left nonplused by the hole in the umbilical area where, it appeared, "a
great amount of internal organs were extracted. The edge of the hole was
perfect and shows a precision cut. Also, the abdominal area of the body was
very shrunken because of organ removal." The original autopsy report notes
that "the scrotum was also removed by a 3 x 1.5 cm. elliptical
incision." Strangely, the penis itself was left intact although it
appeared to have been stretched to about twice its normal length. Why excise
the scrotum without taking the penis? Human logic is defied by such actions. We
are aware, however, of the great similarity here with other animal mutilation
cases, particularly female cattle where it is not unusual to see anus, teats,
vagina and uterus extracted. But why exactly this is done is as big a mystery
as who the exact perpetrators are, although there is enough strong
circumstantial evidence to implicate UFO involvement.
The hole in the left leg duplicates in size the umbilical hole and the
arm hole previously discussed. In the words of the autopsy report, "It was
an... elliptical incision of about 3 x 1. 5 cm...The penis was stretched and
had no signs of being cut. The testicles were extracted with a precision cut."
Rather startling is the lack of pubic hair, as if the victim had been readied
for surgery.
Early on in the investigation, Brazilian official investigators
considered the possibility that the castration of the victim was an act of
revenge. They soon rejected this theory, however, because it could not account
for the remaining wounds and the other peculiarities related to the body. What
is more, revenge seekers who castrate usually excise the penis, not just the
scrotum.
Photo #5: Victim lying on his stomach. The autopsy report specifies:
-"Removal of the anus and a hole between the second and third toes...The
anal orifice of the victim was extracted with a large incision about 3 by 6
inches in diameter. The rectum and other internal parts of the human discharge
system were also removed. It is probable that even some of the internal organs
of the man could have been removed through this incision."
What is most compelling about the anal incision and the extraction of
anal and digestive tract tissue is that it is a carbon copy of the surgery we
have seen in so many UFO-related animal mutilation cases. Are we supposed to
believe a revengeful human or a group of Satanists are capable of such precise,
difficult, surgical techniques/procedures which leave even medical professionals
perplexed as to how they could have been done? I think not. Has the Brazilian
and/or American government staged a little demonstration at the Guarapiranga
reservoir to frighten UFO investigators and the general public into fearing all
extraterrestrial contact? In other words, are we faced with a gruesome,
carefully orchestrated display of misinformation? Possibly, but probably not,
and my reasons for believing this are several.
First, it would seem a fortuitous turn of events that ufologist Encarnacion
Zapata Garcia had the right friend(s) in the right places at the right time. If
our government, and presumably the Brazilian government, has kept a lid on
similarly sensational material in the past - and I have no doubt there is more
than ample evidence supporting such a contention - here we have an accidental
bubble that has, against all odds, escaped the pot. It is our good fortune, you
might say.
The photos are definitely causing a stir; causing many people, including
some UFO investigators, to do some new thinking. But the powers that control
lids will be carefully double-checking in the near future to make sure the pot
is as secure as possible. Thus I would not get my hopes up that additional
homicidal, UFO-related human mutilation cases and graphic photographs
accompanying them will surface in the near future.
If we discard the possibility of the Guarapiranga case as a piece of
misinformation, we are left with several intriguing alternatives. Is this the
infrequent act of a rogue extraterrestrial group which from time to time enjoys
indulging themselves in a pathological blood sport at the expense of humans?
Perhaps. More likely, I think, we are indirect witnesses to an intentionally
contemptuous act by a group or species of extraterrestrial origin who would
like to give other visiting species a bad name and, as a bonus, harness mankind
into a greater fear-mentality than already binds it. But these are only
speculations and we will have to wait until a future time for a greater truth
when more thorough revelations, and evidence that supports them, become
available.
Do we have any precedents to the Guarapiranga case? Yes, we do. At least
one good example and the rumors of possibly another. The case of Sgt. Jonathan
P Louette, who was stationed at White Sands Missile Test Range in 1956 and
whose mutilated body was found on the Range three days after an Air Force major
had witnessed his abduction by a "disk shaped" object, bares a
striking resemblance to the Guarapiranga situation. Louette's genitals had been
removed, his rectum cored out with surgical precision and his eyes excised in a
manner quite similar to the incisions made upon our Guarapiranga victim. And
then there is the rumor of the Texas mutilation case which occurred - and was
quickly hushed up - in the mid '60s. I have had verification of the legitimacy
of this by two intelligence agency personnel, one active and one retired, but
have not had time to investigate further.
At present, the rumors of human body parts found on at least one crashed
UFO in the 1940s, body parts found in a barn in the state of Oregon several
years ago or the rumor of a mutilated Vietnam War B-52 crew will have to remain
just that - rumors, until the lid accidentally, albeit infrequently, comes ajar
again and we have some solid evidence. But there is no denying that the
Guarapiranga reservoir case has taken us far beyond rumor. The evidence is
unmistakable and it is sobering. On the one hand, it points stunningly in a
UFO-related direction. On the other hand, I believe it would be wise of us to
draw a tentative conclusion if other less violent cases have not already led us
to do so. We should not, in most cases, generalize about our extraterrestrial
visitors; neither about their motives , morals nor research agendas. And one
addendum also seems advisable: In an age when almost anything has come to seem
possible, if not probable, either cosmically or here on earth, the wisest
course might be to let our extraterrestrial visitors demonstrate their
friendliness before jumping to conclusions about their philanthropy and opening
the door too wide. After all, Little Red Riding Hood, nine times out of ten, is
no match for the wolf at the door.
We have seen in the past, especially in Brazil, many cases where Human
beings have been attacked by UFOs and their occupants. This is an undeniable
reality that many researchers do not want to face. The Fenomeno Chupa-Chupa or
"Suck-Suck" phenomenon which occurred in the Amazon and northeastern
part of the country in the '70s and '80s produced hundreds of injured people
and ultimately some fatalities. These mostly impoverished people were usually
attacked by small probes (3-6 inches in diameter), probably unmanned, little
UFOs which emitted strong, burning beams of light. Many of the victims suffered
not only burns but a significant loss of blood (thus the "suck-suck"
appellation) during their encounters. Some, such as Luiz Fernandes Barroso,
suffered appreciable mental as well as physical incapacitation. Barroso's mind
was reduced to that of a two-year-old long before his death.
In North America, reports of brutal manhandling by UFO occupants are much
rarer. If homicidal, UFO-related human mutilations have taken place they have
either gone unrecognized for what they really are or have been adeptly covered
up by official intervention. Whatever the truth may be, the Guarapiranga
reservoir case and the startling photos which accompany it should give us pause
for thought. I, like ufologist editor A.J. Gevaerd, came to the conclusion
after reviewing the evidence that UFO-related mutilators were most probably the
perpetrators of the abominations revealed by the photographs of the
Guarapiranga reservoir victim. And I believe Gevaerd is probably right when he
says most extraterrestrial visitors seem neutral in their attitudes towards
Earth and earth humans, some are friendly and some could care less. We had
better learn, I think, to discern the differences. It might in the long run
save our world culture and our very lives.
