This is a very well constructed documentary. If you don't know anything about this case, I recommend you to search for some news before watching it ( there's a documentary made by Marco Antonio Petit where you can see all the authorities worried about the incident but still trying to hide the facts of what the citizens saw those days). Only people who already heard about this history knows that it's a joke all around the country (not because there isn't facts, but because Varginha is a very small city and everyone thinks that a "creature" would not appear there). Fox show us several facts and witnesses clearly shocked by what occurred. If you didn't like it you probably don't understand how our country works, and how our people is really emotional and although we are a poor country, we don't need your attention, we don't want money. We just want to share with the world the events and why we are so impacted by them. There are several people who is trying to forget what they saw until today, and making fun about it don't help at all. It is serious, and it really happened.
James Fox sets the benchmark for communicating on this topic with the way that he works like a dog to find the key witnesses and put them front of the camera, and then just lets them have their say. The witnesses are numerous and diverse, and together plot out in detail what appears to have been a crash of an anomalous craft and capture of the beings that occupied it. All of the witnesses seem like ordinary, honest people with no reason to lie. In one situation there were even three witnesses who testified about what they had seen together.
Like many people who have started following this topic in the last couple of years I'm nowhere near ready to make conclusions, but the evidence that there is a core of reality to this topic is now piled pretty high.

I really enjoyed this documentary. It felt very real and you really feel the witnesses emotions. I've always been fascinated with UFO's and Aliens and this just proves to me once again that it does exists. I've always envied those who have had some sort of encounter but after watching this, I don't think you're ever the same and not sure if I would want that hanging over my head.
I felt a high sense of sadness for these beings who were unfortunate to fall in the hands of humans.........
If you want a good UFO docu, then this is a must watch with a lot of credible witnesses who share their stories.

I've always been sceptical about aliens visiting earth, or that the evidence of their visits has been concealed by our governments, although I have remained open to the possibility that my belief may be wrong.
Having watched this documentary, I can honestly say I've changed my opinion.
There are too many independent witnesses, giving very similar descriptions of the events surrounding this encounter, for it to be idly dismissed. All of them convincing and many of whom held key, or professional positions at the time. This cannot be coincidence and you have to base your beliefs on the evidence presented, even if that means changing your opinion.
This documentary has convinced me enough to make that change . I'm now a believer!

Man, this was disappointing. I thought at least they would have tracked down some real videos, photographs at least documents by now. But nope, nothing new. And there are so many more cases in Brazil and South America in general that they should have at least mentioned. And some of the best stuff is buried in the ending credits, why? The biggest miss of all was not talking to diplomats and looking for some retired american military who would have been stationed there at the time. Even a clerk at the embassy would have been interesting to see the body language. This case is totally legit and needs some real investigation with new data not some emotional interpretation. They could have drawn parallels with the Mage case of just a few years ago where there was also extraordinary military movement and American presence.
