- The following excerpts were taken from Antonio Huneeus' article, "THE
- 'CHUPAS' -- UFO HORROR STORIES FROM BRAZIL", which appeared in the
- Summer, 1994 issue of UFO UNIVERSE:
-
- (Mr. Huneeus describes the following incident that was investigated by
- APEX [Association of Extraterrestrial Investigations] in Sao Paulo,
- one of the best known UFO groups in Brazil, founded by Dr. Max
- Berezowsky):
-
- "...The affair began near Vitoria, the capitol of state of
- Espiritu Santo north of Rio state, where there are beaches rich in
- mineral contents. It happened either in late 1979 or early 1980,
- [Osni] Schwarz wasn't sure when he told the story in 1986.
-
- "A youngster called Aeromar sold beverages at the beach, where
- one day he encountered three men dressed with suits and tie -- highly
- unusual clothing for the beach, especially in Brazil --who approached
- him and said they wanted to talk to him. Aeromar became scared,
- thinking they were perhaps policemen who wanted to implicate him in
- a drug case, so he avoided the beach for a few days. As he returned
- home after dropping off his girlfriend one night, he saw a car with
- the same three men inside. He ran to the house, but suddenly he
- couldn't hear well. His mother took him to the hospital where we was
- not cured, although about a month later he suddenly could hear well
- again.
-
- "Aeromar moved to Rio, finding work at a bakery in a shift between 4
- and 11 PM. One night, as he was crossing one of themany tunnels that
- link the Rio bays, he saw two of the MIBs walking in his direction.
- The youngster ran in the opposite direction, only to find the third
- MIB waiting at a bus stop. He escaped and went back to the bakery,
- where he told his boss that the Vitoria police were chasing him. The
- boss accompanied him to the nearest police station to make a complaint,
- which he did, but he was not believed. The boss then convinced him
- that he should perhaps move to Sao Paulo, a bigger city where it may
- be easier to go unnoticed.
-
-
- "So Aeromar moved to Sao Paulo, finding work in anelectrical company
- and sharing a room with another man. he also became friends with a
- vendor of beverages from Vitoria who had a stand near a movie theater.
- While hanging out there one night, acar stopped right in front of the
- stand and the door opened.
-
-
- "Even through he didn't want to go, Aeromar LOST HIS WILL and entered
- the car. The door closed and he found inside --not surprisingly --
- the three same men whom he had been dodging for months. They drove for
- a while, leaving the city and entering a wooded area.
-
- "The car stopped and they all walked up to a big UFO surrounded by
- some sort of luminous ring and hovering above the ground. The men
- walked underneath the craft, which emitted a ray of light and they
- suddenly were inside. Still drained of any willpower, Aeromar walked
- to a chair and sat down. From the arms of the chair appeared handles
- that secured his wrists. An iron bar then pressed his forehead
- backwards while another gadget fastened his neck. Up to here the men
- were always dressed with suits, but at this point an incredible
- transformation took place: the MIB'S HEAD RIPPED OPENED INTO A HEART
- SHAPE AND THE SKIN BECAME GREEN AND SCALED LIKE A REPTILIAN. Take
- into account that while the popular image of the MIB was well known
- 14 years ago, the idea of reptilian abductors was then not in vogue
- as nowadays.
-
- "Be that as it may, the UFOnauts proceeded to (vocally? -Branton)
- interrogate and tell him things that were going to happen both to him
- and the earth. To make the story even more 'Hollywood-esque', a door
- in the room opened at one point and Aeromar was able to peek at HUMAN
- CORPSES HANGING BY THEIR FEET FROM HOOKS. The man naturally became
- traumatized, re-remembering only that his straps were loosened.
- Everything went blank after that...
-
- "Aeromar's conscious recollection places him next backat the theater,
- but several hours later since there was no traffic inthe streets. He
- returned to his room in panic and began to tell the story to his
- roommate. A strange force PUSHED HIS BODY, how-ever, throwing it
- AGAINST THE WALL in front of him, as he remembered the aliens had told
- him that he shouldn't speak about the experience or he would suffer.
- Aeromar cried for a while, not knowing what to do. A few days later,
- his friend contacted the Globo TV network, which was working on a UFO
- documentary. Globo, in turn, passed the tip to Dr. Max Berezowsky.
- Aeromar and his roommate went to APEX on a very busy day when the
- office was full of people. They told the whole story to Dr.
- Berezowsky and a few assistants, Osni Schwarz among them.
-
- "Berezowsky attempted to do hypnotic regression with thewitness, but
- there was too much interference in the office and Aeromar was in total
- panic. He was saying that 'they' were going to take him on the next
- Thursday and that a UFO was going to land in a Sao Paulo neighborhood
- on Tuesday night. A crowd of people, in fact, went that night to the
- supposed landing site but nothing happened. Although Dr. Berezowsky
- was in touch with Aeromar, HE VANISHED A FEW DAYS LATER AND NOBODY
- EVER SAW HIM AGAIN.
-
- I wrote down at the end of my notes on this affair, 'the whole case
- is like a UFO horror movie.'"
