The case of Luis Barroso Fernandez is perhaps one of the best examples of the, on occasion, horrifying aftereffects of close encounters with UFOs and aliens. Most of what we know of the account comes from Luis’ son, Francisco Leonardo Barroso. And part of the reason why he is the main source of information over the years is his father’s rapidly deteriorating state following the encounter. We should note that Barroso’s testimony of the version of events has remained unchanged since the encounter in 1976, despite corroborating with numerous investigations and interviews regarding the matter.

The cases where UFO’s try to capture humans by ‘hooking’ or ‘sucking’ them up seems to be unique to Brazl. Bob Pratt’s book ‘UFO Danger Zone’ is an amazing read.
