Our Strange Skies: UFOs Throughout History5 Syys 2022

117: The Valley of the Old Women and Brazil's Strange Humanoids with Rus Ryan

Journalist Bob Pratt made several trips to Brazil, collecting stories from villagers of UFO encounters. Many of them proved to be random, violent encounters which he published in UFO Danger Zone. Often these attacks would come after the witnesses had lit up a cigarette.

The area known as "The Valley of the Old Women" produced many accounts over the decades. To quote Pratt, “The valley encompasses 10,750 square miles of cattle ranches and farmland in low mountains and rolling hills in the center of the state of Minas Gerais. The river has many smaller streams feeding it.

“The system originates near the city of Ouro Preto, southeast of the state capital, Belo Horizonte, and meanders north-northwest about five hundred kilometers before emptying into the Rio Sao Francisco, one of Brazil’s largest rivers.”

On this episode, Rus Ryan, the co-host of The Unbelievers and Zona del Silencio podcasts joins me to discuss these strange encounters.

I do not regret what I've said. I've had a blast. Hope you've enjoyed it. Create recklessly, give money to those who do, fight the fucking power, and carry on. See ya.
