 Ciao ùlìssè, sai dove potrei scaricarlo?
No, mi dispiace. Ma la en.wiki ne parla:
<<Passo Fundo is a city in the north of the southern Brazilian state of
Rio Grande do Sul.

The city was mentioned in the science fiction movie Signs, as the
location of a citizen-journalist's alien-video by alleged photographer
Romero Valadares at his seven year old son's birthday party.>>

Varginha incident
 The Varginha incident is a series of incidents in and around Varginha,
Brazil in 1996 involving reports of unidentified flying objects and
strange creatures (allegedly extraterrestrials) which were supposedly
captured by Brazilian officials.
 The case generated extensive publicity in Central and South America,
was mentioned in the Wall Street Journal, and may have inspired a scene
in the motion picture Signs when a boy's birthday party is interrupted
by a fleeting and quite frightening sighting of an extraterrestrial.
 The Brazilian government officialy denies that anything unusual
occurred, but critics have charged that there was a cover up. Skeptics
cite the lack of reliable sources as evidence against its actuality;
the testimony of unnamed, anonymous "official" individuals is
frequently featured.
 Kevin Randle writes that "this case is as complicated as any other in
the UFO field." (Randle, 145) There have been a sometimes confusing
series of claims, refutations and counterclaims. Randle notes that
there is a lack of physical evidence supporting the case, and adds, "In
fact, we have been unable to verify much of anything." (Randle, 153)
 Overview
 According to some accounts, the creature was first sighted by three
women, Liliane and Valaquira Fatima, and Andrade Xavier, ranging from
fourteen to twenty-one years old. They allegedly saw the creature in
the afternoon of January 20, 1996: A biped about 1.6m, with a large
head and very thin body, with V-shaped feet, brown skin, and large red
eyes. It seemed to be wobbly or unsteady, and the girls assumed it was
injured or sick. The creature was said to have a strong, unpleasant
odor. Some have noted physical similarities between this alleged
creature and the chupacabra, a cryptozoological creature reported in
Central America.
 The Fatima sisters say they fled, then told their mother that they had
seen a devil. She didn't believe them at first, but when she had gone
to the area they had seen the creature and smelled a strong
ammonia-like odor, her opinion changed. After relating their tale to
families and friends, rumors began to spread throughout the city: UFO's
were sighted, aliens were captured. Two days later, another creature
was allegedly found lying along a road. Three military trucks were sent
to retrieve it. It was captured by S2 officials (Brazil's military
intelligence), and sent to a hospital to be examined.
 As related by Moffett in the Wall Street Journal, "The army finds
itself besieged on several fronts. A local mystic predicts that
Varginha will suffer some kind of cataclysm this September as
retribution for its blitzkrieg on the interplanetary visitors. An
armed-forces news conference marking 'Victory Day' in World War II
degenerated into a shouting match between a general and a television
reporter pressing him about the extraterrestrials. An official briefing
to debunk UFO conspiracies was overshadowed by an auto mechanic's claim
to have seen yet another weird cylindrical aircraft, a cosmic encounter
he re-enacted with the aid of an aluminum coffee thermos ... Stanton
Friedman, a Canada-based UFO expert, says Varginha has the makings of a
'cosmic Watergate.'"[1]
 Brazilian mass media was saturated for some time with speculation,
rumors and accounts regarding the UFO's and the strange creatures. A
soldier, Marco Eli Cherese, was said to have died under mysterious
circumstances related to the UFO affair.
 Vitorio Pacaccini, a Brazilian UFO enthusiast became a central figure
in the Varginha affair. He appeared on television, offering testimony
he reported was from reliable government officials, which confirmed the
events as true. The sources, however, were anonymous, said Pacaccini,
and feared reprisal. Randle notes that Pacaccini insists that first to
encounter the strange creature was not the girls, but rather, a group
of fire department workers. In Brazil, local fire departments are
charged with capturing wild dogs, stray animals and the like. In the
early morning of January 20, according to Pacaccini, four firemen were
alerted to a strange animal which had been first spotted by boys, who
began throwing rocks at it. They captured the dizzy creature, and
whisked it away.
 Moffett writes that there have been over half a dozen sightings of the
creatures, though "it is unclear how all of these beings could have fit
into the minivan-sized spacecraft that was spotted here in January."
There was disagreement as to whether one creature had been sighted
multiple times, or if several creatures had been sighted individually.
 Officials in Varginha denied that anything unusual occurred, but
considered dedicating a park to the creatures.
