Do we have “Aliens” in Brazil?

One of the many definitions for “alien,” and a more creative one, is an “extraterrestrial life which does not originate from Earth.” Of course, the world still has no evidence of beings from outside Earth living here. However, there are already numerous attempts to at least suggest that they could exist.

The most recent episode, which went viral on the internet globally, took place in Mexico after a ufologist and journalist presented alleged mummified bodies of little 60-centimeter-long men who, according to him, were … aliens.

The so-called ‘specimens’ were said to have been found near the Nazca lines in Peru and gained worldwide attention on the internet after a series of assumptions and theories (still without any proof). It all happened during a public meeting held at the Mexican legislature to discuss unidentified flying objects, commonly known as UFOs.

But while we still don’t know exactly what is happening in Mexico, how about talking about living examples of things that often seem like … “from another world”?

Brazil had one of these recently, in fact.

During the four long years between 2018 and 2022, the one leader serving as president often behaved like someone who seemed quite disconnected from Earth’s reality, doing (and saying) things that didn’t exactly seem like things a normal human being would do and say.

Which human being, for example, would advise against the vaccine during a pandemic? Or, would it be possible for an Earthling to try to offer medicines without scientific proof to an.. emu? Or even say that vaccines could turn people into alligators!?

Well, sometimes, we don’t even need to leave the planet to see some very unusual individuals!Read more here, and check out the creation of this cartoon on The Brazilian Report’s TikTok (@brazilianreport) account!
