The shooting allegedly took place in 1996 in the city of Eloi Mendes in the state of Minas Gerais. RonyVernet was shown on 01/19/2024 by a man who would like to receive financial benefits:

On 01/20/2024, I received a copy, which I am publishing due to the high probability of forgery, after my own analysis, as well as the analysis of other experts from Brazil and abroad. The search continues.

Original news

The following submission statement was provided by u/insanisprimero:

I cut the only 4 worthy parts of 7:28min Varginha alien video. I know it's not much but it's what we have. I am not advocating to the veracity of the footage, I just thought it was terrible to sit through those 7 min and here is a more to the point compilation.

The lengths of the clips are as follows:

1st 5 sec

2nd 31 sec

3rd 13 sec

4th 14 sec

The following submission statement was provided by u/Ilikesuncream:

Statement from James Fox: "I obviously would love this (Varginha creature image) to be true however, I’m highly dubious…of not just the image seen here but the 8 minute video too"

I'm not too sure of it myself? One big red flag, is someone looking for financial gain from it and also why now after 30 years, all of a sudden to realise this? Also from the still photo and the footage, the alien looks completely different. Look at the eyelids of the alien in the still image and compare them to the footage where it has none. You do see the hand of the being move in the footage, so I don't know if it's a result of the alien moving around, or has retractable eyelids? This is very sus, we need the original raw footage to study this more, because the projected video was recorded on a phone.

Rony just released the full video that the still shot posted earlier comes from. I haven't watched it all yet, but around halfway through seems to be when it shows up.

Edit: Sorry for the typo in the title, Rony.

Edit 2: James Fox just weighed in.

I color corrected and improved sharpness to a better view. But hits all the boxes. Details can be read on the original post, not mine: https://www.reddit.com/r/AlienBodies/s/YKLrs5wPog

This supposedly is a frame of a 10 min video that is being verified right now, taken by someone that lives near Varginha at the time, I am obviously still not sure but this fits all the descriptions given so far.

I am curious about where this will go.

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Deliberate falsification

This version includes any falsifications that imitate unexplained phenomena both from the outside: practical jokes, flash mobs, fake news, witness fraud, staging, etc.

There are many ways to make something similar to a ghost or a flying saucer from improvised materials, without using video and photomontage.

Many homemade things made for the sake of a joke, a practical joke or a direct imitation of a mystical being or event can be taken as unexplained not only in photos and videos, but also in reality.

Investigation

Versions testing, their confirmation or refutation. Additional information, notes during the study of materials

Judging by the appearance of the alien, the video is related to this story.

There is a strange dark-edged spot in the video that changes location and scale. This is not a film defect or contamination on the lens. Is there a defect at the video projection site? When the video is distorted, this effect remains unchanged in shape and clarity. It is difficult to say for sure without analyzing the original, but most likely this is an effect imposed on the installation.

ophello discovered that VHS noise artifacts are looping, showing that this is an artificial effect:

This video artifact is visible in two different places in the video. This is not possible unless the pattern is a loop superimposed on top of the footage. At least a fake VHS overlay effect has been added to these frames, which raises serious doubts about their authenticity.
