This issue of CIPEX e GENA from 2004, specifically issue number 4, dated December 18, 1983, features a prominent report titled "Fazendeiro de Chapecó faz viagem com Extraterrestres" (Farmer from Chapecó travels with Extraterrestrials), a report by Marcos Bedin from "O Estado". The magazine delves into extraordinary claims of extraterrestrial contact and UFO phenomena, primarily focusing on a detailed account from Brazil.

Part I: Preliminary Report - The Incredible Experience of Antônio Nelso Tasca

The main article narrates the astonishing experience of Antônio Nelso Tasca, a 49-year-old farmer and former radio announcer from Chapecó, who now resides in Barreiras, Bahia. Tasca claims to have spent 20 hours aboard a special vehicle with extraterrestrials. The incident reportedly occurred on a Wednesday evening when Tasca, driving alone on a highway near a Coca-Cola factory, felt compelled to stop his car. He then observed a circular object emitting white lights, which he identified as a UFO based on his reading of scientific literature.

He approached the object and was drawn inside by a beam of light. Tasca recounts waking up naked in a dark, confined space, feeling a sense of pressure and difficulty breathing, initially believing he had been buried alive. He soon realized he was in a mysterious environment and felt touches on his legs, realizing he was being examined by two or three creatures in the dark.

Suddenly, the area illuminated, revealing walls and a ceiling emitting luminosity. A beautiful, short woman with delicate skin and light-colored clothing appeared. Tasca identified her as Cabalá, from the world of Agali, who communicated telepathically. Cabalá informed Tasca that he had been chosen to receive a message of warning for the people of Earth, concerning planetary destruction and other typical terrestrial problems.

Tasca, questioning why he, an ordinary man, was chosen, was told it was because he believed in superior civilizations, desired contact, and possessed a 'cosmic mind'. He then experienced an incident he chose not to reveal, citing potential personal problems. Before his death, he intended to leave a complete account for his children.

Cabalá conveyed a message of 40 lines, which Tasca was told he would never forget. He was shown a diadem with eight colored parts, which was placed on his head while Cabalá transmitted the message. After the dialogue, Tasca was led out by 'small creatures' and later found himself on a plateau near a cliff, close to the BR-282 highway.

He later experienced a blackout and awoke in a small plateau near a cliff. He was taken to the police, and his family was notified. His children noticed a strange mark on his back, resembling a brand, which caused no pain. Medical examinations confirmed Tasca's good physical and mental health, finding the burn mark inexplicable.

Tasca felt reborn and expressed a strong desire to live and understand the world. He stated that material problems no longer bothered him, as he felt detached from material things. He intended to continue his normal life and, when possible, promote the message received, asking friends to help disseminate it without mentioning his name.

The Message of Cabalá

The message from Cabalá, the messenger from Agali, was transmitted to journalist Marcos Bedin. The 50-line message warned all peoples of Earth about the dangers of war, nuclear conflict, political and economic dominations, and the importance of preserving human life and natural functions. It also emphasized the need to explore other worlds for future emigration and energy sources, and to understand Earth's enigmas.

Part II: Encounter on Santa Filomena Farm

This section details an incident involving farmer Braulino Gomes Ferreira, who, on May 13, 1979, while walking home on a farm, was obstructed by two figures who appeared to be attempting to capture him. He managed to break free but experienced temporary mental disorientation, not recognizing his family or surroundings for about an hour and a half.

Researchers Ute Siebrecht and Walter Buhler investigated this case. The report includes comparative studies with other ufological cases in Brazil, highlighting similar facts and psychological-physiological sequelae. The incident occurred around 7:30 PM.

Parallel to this event, other UFO sightings were reported in the Lins region. Dirceu, a friend of Braulino, reported seeing a flying object on the night of the incident. Braulino's wife, Filomena, also reported observing a flying object directed towards their neighbor's house around 7:00 PM on the day of the incident.

Other UFO Sightings and Incidents

The magazine also presents contemporary UFO sightings in Lins and surrounding areas. On May 14, 1979, a luminous object was sighted by residents and a night watchman. On May 10, 1979, police officers observed a light that changed color. Another incident involved a child who pursued a UFO and was momentarily stunned by a bright flash.

Several other cases are mentioned, including that of farmer João Romeu Klein, who reported an encounter with three extraterrestrials. Farmer Luiz Flosino described an encounter with two extraterrestrials exhibiting unusual agility. The case of night watchman Antônio Carlos Ferreira involved extraterrestrials who attempted to abduct him, and his trained dog was neutralized.

An incident in Bauru involved a night watchman who encountered three extraterrestrials and witnessed them escape in a Volkswagen-shaped object. The report also touches upon the physical effects experienced by witnesses, such as disorientation, burns, and temporary blindness, with some cases attributed to 'psychogenic' causes.

Physical Phenomena Associated with UFOs

The magazine discusses the physical phenomena associated with UFOs, including the abolition of noise and the effects of extraterrestrial energies. It mentions the case of bus driver Antônio La Rubia, who experienced an inexplicable silence and was affected by an energy that controlled his nervous system.
