The story
What it's about
Thirty years after Brazil’s most famous UFO case, The Varginha Incident revisits the mysterious events that turned a small town in Minas Gerais into an international phenomenon. Through unseen documents, exclusive testimonies, and new investigations, the series explores conflicting versions of what really happened in January 1996, and why the mystery still lingers in the skies of Varginha
