Triggered by a Brazilian member of our Study Group (1), I finally took a deep dive into one of the world’s most famous extraterrestrial accounts: the Brazilian Varginha case. A link between the species mentioned by the eye witnesses and the description of this species both by Elena Danaan and the Russian Secret Book of Aliens (2) added another incentive to study this remarkable story.
JAMES FOX
James Fox is a documentary maker who was present during a press meeting in front of the capitol with representatives Tim Burchett (3), Anna Paulina Luna, Jared Moskowitz, Eric Burlison (4) and whistleblower David Grush on June 9, 2026 (5).
In an excerpt from his contribution he refers to the Varginha case and asks the Trump administration to release the related files. He adds that the Brazilians side has said that it would declassify the case when the US decides to do so as well (6, 10).
MOMENT OF CONTACT 2022 AND THE VARGINHA CASE
In 2022 James Fox released a documentary on the Varginha case called ‘Moments of Contact‘ (7). In this excellent production, Fox presents many eye witness accounts from this case that is about the sighting of both the debris of an alien craft and its likely passengers. I highly recommend watching this documentary. I will only briefly mention the main elements here. There is a witness who saw a craft with a white plume smoke crash in the South-Eastern city of Varginha in January 1996. Immediately the military came and took over the site and forced the witness to leave. Later two girls and a young woman encountered an oily brown-skinned, rather small naked being with big red eyes who was huddled against a wall. They got scared and ran away and told their mother about it.
In the documentary we learn about a military policeman, Marco Chereze, who would have caught the being out on the streets. The being was then transferred to a local hospital, where an X-ray was made before the being was moved to a local military base (Esa), where it seems the beings spent a night in the truck/van. The man who got into direct physical contact died of a mysterious infection within a few weeks. Many witnesses described this ugly smell of sulphur or ammonia that accompanied the creature. After the move to the local military there was another transfer to ‘ESPCEX’ in Compinas, which James Fox described as ‘a university where all the intellectual heavy weights reside‘ (8). This is where a plane from the US Air Force landed. Then two helicopters are said to have flown to Varginha and after their return the American plane flew away again, probably carrying the two creatures.
TWO CREATURES WITH DIFFERENT LOOKS?
Three years after his first documentary on the Varginha case James Fox produced a second documentary (9), which I am unfortunately unable to watch from Europe. In that documentary Fox introduced a new Brazilian witness, Italo Venturelli, a neuro surgeon, who came forward to disclose that he had spent 4 minutes with a creature in that month of January in 1996 in Varginha. In an interview with Jesse Michels (11) we can hear him describe the being he saw:
What is remarkable about his testimony is the difference with the creature the girls saw. This being wasn’t brown, oily, red-eyed with a terrible stench surrounding it. This being was peaceful, white, odorless and with lilac shaped eyes. He did have the same three crest-like protuberances and the same size as the one witnessed by the girls.
There are more arguments to assume that there actually two creatures that were caught. We can hear about a situation with a strong military presence in a hospital where a doctor was forced to make X-ray photos through a black bag that contained a living creature (12), which didn’t last very long before the creature(s) were transferred to the military base. In the account of the neurosurgeon we get a way more peaceful interaction with a creature: a colleague and friend of Venturelli (Marcos Vinicio Neves) even made a video of a small procedure he did on the being, and showed it to his family and friends.
I would seem that one creature was caught by the military policeman Marco Chereze and another one by the firemen brigade (14). One stayed in a hospital for perhaps a few days whereas the other was moved to Campinas by the military. Who caught the white one? Which hospitals were used exactly? Did the neurosurgeon contact the doctor who made the X-ray? Why did one of them have such a dreadfull stench, while the other didn’t? Could they represent different ‘races’ on their home planet? Could fear have made them produce this amonnia like smell? For more on Italo Venturelli’s testimony see (22).

THE AKART – A SPECIES FROM THE SEXTANS CONSTELLATION
The main element that made me want to explore this Varginha case was the presence of this species in both Elena Danaan’s work and in the Secret KGB Book of Alien Races (16,17). Let’s take a look at what they both said about a species that has a very close resemblance to the species in the Varginha case.
THE RUSSIAN BOOK OF ALIEN RACES
In this book (17) we come across the Akart on page 18. The information we get there is the following: “They come from constellation Sextans. One of their ships crashed outside of Varginha (Brazil) in 1996. 2 of its occupants are under USA custody, after having paid billions of dollars to the Brazilian government. They have the fastest ships of any known alien race. Last sighting: February 2022, near Varginha (Brazil)…again!”
ELENA DANAAN’S INFORMATION
For more background on the connection between this Secret Russian book of Alien Races and Elena’s work, read (16). In her first disclosure book (19) a lot of additional information is given on this species. Let’s take a look at a few excerpts:
“The Akart originate from the planet Okunuu Okulua (Epsilon Sextantis / ε Sextans) in the Sextans constellation. Their star system has three planets and is sometimes called the Akart system. They are described as a small Grey-type race with distinctive features (including three ridges or crests on the head), curious and impulsive but generally not involved in abductions. They are known for scientific interest and have been linked by some researchers (including in connection to the Varginha incident) to certain Grey-like beings. “
She says that they have big dark eyes (she doesn’t seem to mention the color red or lilac).
“Females tend not to travel, unless they are part of the upper scientific class….They lay eggs as they are of cold blood type….A female Akart can lay up to six eggs in her lifespan. They do not live very long compared to many other species in the federation but maybe just a bit older thn the Terrans, over a decade or two.
Their technology is not among the more evolved ones but they know astral travel……they eat flesh. “They wear clothes, but not always. For interdimensional travel for instance, no clothes are required because of their peculiar method to do it; they know how to transfer their light being and incarnated bodies, bot not clothes either any non-corporeal object. That is their way of doing. That is often the reason why the interdimensional ships crews are unisex….They have oval, grey metallic ships with no window.” (19, p.276)

Elena apparently couldn’t confirm the claims in the Russian book about them having the fastest ships or about information regarding any payment by the US government for these beings to Brazil.
SOME REFLECTIONS
So what to make out of this intriguing case? First of all we all need to be very grateful for all the work James Fox has invested in this topic. I think the huge amount of witness testimonies regarding the craft, the sightings of the creatures and the involvement of the military (and firemen) and even the United States airforce, makes it a compelling case. It would be great if Fox’s plea to include this case in one of the upcoming releases from the Department of War’s UFO Files (20). The former defense minister of Brazil has promised to release their part of the files if the US decides to release their information (10).
Until then we have to accept that we only have partial information: was there indeed a white and a brown creature? How come one of them smelled so extreme? Where is the video of this small hospital procedure? Where are the photographs?
What to think of the description by Elena Danaan of this species? Could there be any truth to it? It seems they ended up in the Russian Book of Alien Races only after they had shown up in Varginha. Who provided the Russians with the information on their constellation of origin and their name?
Let’s just hope we will get more information on them in the near future. If you like to explore galactic topics like this, join our Study Group or a related group (23). You can find a separate thread on this case with additional information at (25).
