In a dramatic moment that has reignited the global UFO debate, key witnesses from the infamous Varginha, Brazil incident have travelled to Washington, DC, to present what they describe as direct evidence to members of the US Congress that an alien craft crashed and was recovered by American authorities.
The original encounter dates back to 1996, yet the latest press conference took place in January 2026 at the National Press Club in Washington. This shift from folklore to formal scrutiny signals a new phase: the claims are no longer confined to documentaries or local accounts, but are being placed directly before lawmakers in the hope of sparking a congressional investigation.
