A retired US Air Force fighter pilot claims there is likely an extensive 'paper trail' proving that one of the most infamous UFO encounters of the last three decades really happened.
Colonel Fred Claussen, who was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross twice during his career, came forward during a press conference in Washington on Tuesday to reveal who would know about the 1996 incident in Varginha, Brazil.
The alleged incident began on January 13, 1996, when locals reported seeing a UFO crash-landing in a field near Varginha, followed by sightings of strange creatures described as walking on two legs, but having oily brown skin and large red eyes.
In fact, three young women claimed they found one of the extraterrestrials hiding behind a wall near the crash site.
Despite reports that Brazilian police and military captured at least two aliens, the US Air Force allegedly confiscated all of the wreckage, the bodies of dead aliens, and the survivors of the crash, starting a supposed cover-up that has lasted for 30 years.
To this date, the US military has said there has never been any physical evidence recovered that proves the existence of UFOs or alien life, and has not confirmed that this recovery ever took place.
However, Claussen spoke at an event at the National Press Club organized by investigative filmmaker James Fox, which gathered witnesses and other experts to expose what they claim has been buried about the Varginha crash.
'If true, I am certain that 30 to 40 Americans had direct knowledge of this flight and its purpose,' Claussen said.
