Witnesses: Hermelindo Da Silva and his brother-in-law
“They dropped four steel cables down with hooks on them and tried to catch me with them,” he said. “I was dodging the hooks, and then a little creature came sliding down one of the cables. He hit me on the shoulder and tried to grab me, but I hit him and fought with him”
The creature moved like a live being and looked like a man. It was about four feet tall and completely covered with something gray that was hard and polished. The face was never visible. Hermelindo, who is six feet tall and strong, wasn’t able to get a grip on the “clothing” but did grab the creature in a bear hug.
“He felt like metal. I tried to throw him to the ground, but when I did, he shuddered. It scared me so much that I let go of him, and he fell to the ground.”
Before Hermelindo could move, however, the creature swiftly slipped a hook around Hermelindo’s left ankle and scurried backup one of the cables into the UFO. Hermelindo fell down but was immediately yanked off the ground and began to be reeled up toward the hole in the bottom of the UFO, feet first.
“The ship was the size of this room,” he said as we talked in his little bar, which was about twelve feet square. “The hole was open, and it was purple. They tried to pull me up through that hole, and when I got near the bottom I felt terribly hot.”
The UFO had begun moving at the same time it was hauling Hermelindo up, going in the direction of his house. Hermelindo had been screaming for help throughout the ordeal and had awakened his brother-in-law, who had come to a window and was watching the struggle. As Hermelindo was being pulled upside down, his right leg was swinging wildly and this is what saved him.
“My right foot hit the edge of the hole, jarring the hook loose from my ankle and I fell to the ground,” he said.
“When Hermelindo fell from the hook,” Hulvio said, “his brother-in-law had opened the window and saw the whole object, not just the bottom as Hermelindo had. He said it was conical in shape but with a round top, a bell shaped UFO. Hermelindo had seen only the bottom of the UFO.”
