Late August saw South America under a UFO siege. According to the August 18 issue of Correio Brasiliense, the daily newspaper of Brasilia, numerous UFOs have been sighted along the border between Argentina and Chile.

In Talagante, a town 40 kilometers (24 miles) west of Santiago de Chile, "dozens of residents congested the telephone lines of a local broadcasting company to ask for an explanation of what they were seeing," namely, a large, nickel-colored saucer.

According to Rodrigo Fuenzalida, president of Associacion de Investigaciones de OVNIs (AION) of Chile, "We think that it could be space rubbish entering Earth's atmosphere, but we do have our doubts about that. What happened was seen for a very long time in several places of the region (northern Chile). That obliges us to continue to study this phenomenon."

In addition to the incident in Brasilia, there were three UFO-related incidents in the state of Sao Paulo, according to ufologist Eduardo Mondini of Sumare, who runs the CEPEX study group. All three took place on or about Friday, August 23, 1996.

In Sao Carlos, S.P., residents reported "uma esquadrilha de OVNIs" (a squadron of UFOs) flying over the city. Sao Carlos is 6 kilometers (4 miles) northwest of Campinas, where the captive Varginha aliens were taken on January 21, 1996.

In Nova Odessa, people heard "a mysterious explosion in the sky."

And in Sao Roque de Fratura, a fazendeiro (farmhand) spotted a monster, or what he called "um animal extranho" in a coffee field. He described the creature as a quadruped, gray-green in color, approximately 1.5 meters (5 feet) long, with a large head and what looked like "armor" protecting its foreleg shoulders and rear end. He likened it to "a scorpion lacking its pincers and a tail" but with "legs like an ox." Despite its fearsome appearance, the creature fled back into the jungle when the fazendeiro threw rocks at it. (Editor's Comment: First Varginha, now Sao Roque. Seems to me that Homo sapiens has this bad habit of throwing rocks at anything they don't understand.)
