65-year old farmer Ney Carvalho Fogaca and his 12-year old son were planting seed in the fields. While separating the seeds he perceived a very bright brilliant light at the end of a nearby meadow resembling that of an electric lamp. The light originated at a point about 450 meters away. However Ney and his son continued working with the seeds without paying much attention to the strange light. But the light seemed to become brighter causing some discomfort and interfering in their task, at times Fogaca had to cover his eyes with hands since the light was so blinding. Suddenly the elder Fogaca felt as if something very "strange" was about to happen. He began staring at the strange luminosity, fascinated by the light. According to Fogaca the light emanated all the colors of the rainbow and it was beautiful beyond description. At that he decided to stop what he was doing and decided to investigate what the source of the light was. As he approached the area he was surprised to see that the light had by now disappeared but in place of it there were six humanoid figures standing in a line each next to the other, according to Fogaca the humanoids were of varying heights, the shortest at 1.2m and the tallest at 1.5m, but all very similar in appearance. Stunned and afraid Fogaca noticed that the humanoids appeared to be inside or encase in a sort of "aquarium" or something similar since he could only see them from their waist up. He estimated the enclosure or "portal" to have been more than 2meters in height and about 6meters in length. One of the humanoids, the tallest one, appeared to be the leader moved his head from side to side while the other five remained staring at the witness. The humanoids were wearing a type of brilliant tight-fitting coverall, which Fogaca could not precisely describe. "It was very pretty and shone in different colors" according to Fogaca. Their heads were encased in a type of luminous helmet with a visor that covered all the way down to their noses; hence Fogaca could only see their mouths. From their waste down within the "portal" there appeared to be liquid resembling dirty or polluted water. According to Fogaca the encounter lasted about 2 minutes. Afraid and after staring at the humanoids, Fogaca ran from the area passing very close or about 2 meters from the UFO, which he described as very bright, and multicolored. He ran towards a nearby power plant which seemed unaffected by the strange phenomenon. Upon arriving at his home he yelled for his wife and told her he was going crazy. He told his wife and son what he had seen, and was very hungry soon after the incident. Several days after the encounter he began to notice that the left side of his body was becoming numb or paralyzed, according to him he could see the mosquitoes biting him but he did not feel anything. His left arm remained paralyzed for about 5 years after the encounter.
