Amazing Fireball crosses Latin America sky



UFO. ARGENTINA. URUGUAI. RIO GRANDE DO SUL state, BRAZIL. Thursday - July 30, 2015. An object, emitting an intense green light crossed the sky, at night, calling the attention of people from three countries of the South America.

The phenomenon could be observed at Argentina, Uruguay and Rio Grande do Sul - a federative state of Brazil. The UFO, very luminous seemed have a circular shape and a long tail. It was widely photographed and filmed.




In few minutes, the images and eyewitness accounts had spread over the Internet. At Brazil, there were sightings in Porto Alegre, Rosario do Sul, Novo Hamburgo, Quaraí and the Paranhana area, all cities and site located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.

On Twitter, the hashtag #CieloVerde (green sky, in spanish)  and the term "UFO" were amid trends from the Buenos Aires region. In some of the video, the object is accompanied by ten seconds or more. Even behind the clouds, its strong light is visible.

EXPERTS 

But - the experts already have an explanation. The same as always. It was just a meteor or the fall of a piece of any space junk.

The day that one of these space junks fall on the head of one of this specialist - then, maybe - the specialists will begin to realize that lately many, even many - brilliant things are  falling from the sky.

The astrophysicist at the Planetarium at UFRGS (Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul) - Gilberto Klar Renner believes that the fireball was a meteor or meteorite.

But Renner said that the phenomenon was unusual. Even being a meteor: It's a little different, brighter. It is a special meteor, something out of the ordinary. Not a typical sighting.

Physicist Astronomical Observatory of PUCRS (Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul) - Marcelo Bruckmann, thinks the object is space junk.

The haunted portrait of Clenir de Cezaro

RIO GRANDE DO SUL state. PALMITINHO CITY. AUGUST, 1972. 
Clenir de Cezaro - murdered, was found in the deep of a well located at side of  the her family house. She had 14 years old. Her head and neck were injured in the sinister.

Her body was buried in a chapel nearby the local cemetery - the cemetery of the Linha Boa Vista. There,  was installed a small altar in girl's memory. On a table were placed a portrait, images of saint, flowers and candles.

The crime never was solved. A man was arrested. He was suspected: had marks on his neck suggesting that fought with the victim prior to subdue her. However, for lack of evidence, he was released.



Recently, in 2015 - almost 30 years after the violent death of Clenir Cezaro her portrait in the chapel began to exhibit a strange aspect.  

Red spots like blood and purple stains, like bruises appeared on the head, forehead  and neck of the girl's photo. The anomaly looks a posthumous record of Clenir's suffering. 

In the neighborhood, people comment: the picture is haunted. The chapel also seems to be cursed. Two fires occurred there. The first, on Souls day (or Day of Dead, November 11, 2014). The cause was cause attributed to an accident with lighted candles. 

The second fire took place just 15 days later and this time were found signs of criminal agent, but the author was not identified.

The Catholic priest Amadeo Balestrin, family friend, said: "People were so much surprised with the case. They called me to see the picture. I'm intrigued but everything still needs to be analyzed scientifically.

In 07 July (2015) - Balestrin sent the photographs to analyze in a local laboratory - Lucan Studio Fotográfico (Lucan Studio Photo) from Palmitinho city  - but the cause of the changes in the image could not be determined.


The photo studio owner, Lester Wanderlei Candaten, highlights another curious fact: in original photo left in the Lucan laboratory, initially,  girl's face had a small imperfection that was increasing along the time (as seen in the photos). "We don't have an explanation for these facts, it really is something that needs to be investigated" - Candaten said.



After this, in July 2015, the material was delivered to the Instituto Geral de Perícias - from Rio Grande do Sul state (General Institute of Forensics)  - which is analyzing the piece.

The Instituto has more technical resources. So there was the expectation that the phenomenon could be explained quickly by natural cause.  

However, after two days of examinations, the scientists - only can ensure that the change of the image does not result from the action of time or of parasites, such a rust nor is a phisical phenomenon, like rust.

The analyzes continue. Meanwhile, the 'The portrait of Clenir dr Cezaro remains a mystery and until proven otherwise, for the people os Palmitinho city - the phenomenon is the manifestation of a supernatural agent.

SUPERNATURAL



What the experts dodn't perceive in the photo, is the presence, in the image - of spectrums of ghostly entities and a white smog that resembles the ectoplasm, material used by the spirits for express themselves in the world of the alive.



At least three of those creatures are there. They are enough notable  in the photograph.Their ectoplasmic faces do not seem friendly.

By contrary, far from the holiness that the people claim about the dead girl, the of the spectral images shows that the atmosphere of the mortuary  chapel can have turned, nowadays, a den of angry ghosts.

It is possible that the fires that -  for two times almost destroyed the sanctuary, have been caused by troubled spirits. Perhaps - among them - the ghost of the killer be responsible for the incidents.

Is a fact that the changes in the photo began to appear after the fires. This could mean a reaction from the soul of the girl, unhappy - who can be mutilating her own photography, denouncing his death and the attacks to her mausoleum - that still remain unpunished.

Prepared for the End of the World




BRAZIIL. At Rio Grande do Sul state, the city of St. Francisco de Paula, is to 112 km distant of Porto Alegre (capital of the state) to 907 meters above sea level. Considering this characteristic, the altitude, the prefect Decio Colla, who is a scholar of geophysics and astrophysics, is touting the city as a adequate place to escape a possible end of the world - according to the Mayan calendar. The "End of a Time" that can occur on December 21 this year (2012).




Decio Colla, the prefect: Is important to be prepared


Mr. Colla claims: ... the first world countries are preparing for possible disasters ... We can not wait anything happens. We must act ... He said the city already receives new residents. Persons who fear seeing confirmed the prophecy of the Maya. He don't know - yet - the number of the people that already arrived. If I could, the prefect ensures - he already would taken providences - for protection better the population.

As a public man, it is difficult to do anything at the moment. I can not stock the school lunch because I have to submit accounts zeroed at the end of each month. Even those who do not believe, they should be prepared. There are numerous factors that lead us to think that this can be confirmed. In other countries this concern already exists, but not in Brazil. We are not even paying attention in solar storms that affect our planet" he warned.





Trader in the city, Luiz Henrique Valim is an example of someone who has already took some providences for the case of any disaster that come to happen. At home, he claims to have a stock capable of feeding 50 people for a year. According to him, are 108 kg of rice, 40 kg of beans , 108 meters of textile fabrics, among other things



In addition to be prefect of San Francisco de Paula, Decio Colla is also a physician and works in hospitals in the mountainous regionof the state. For him, these solar flares hitting the earth can be an indication that the planet is entering a new phase. "Someone that is a biophysical knowsthat our whole planetary system is changing. With these changes, it is possible the occurrence of natural disasters ."

By being well above sea level, is very difficult that a tsunami come to reach the Serra do Rio Grande do Sul. Still thus, the mayor saysthe region is not free from danger. "What can reach the Sierra are tremors, storms, things of that nature. Anyway, we must be prepared," he says. "It is clear that each one takes its decision. What I want is to have a clear conscience, because if I have a lot of information, I have to pass them" - he added.

The Mystery of the Stone of Dam



RIO GRANDE DO SUL – Between the towns of Pinhal Grande e Estrela Velha, for over 40 years, a rock withabout 30 pounds and 35 inches wide is in exposition in the second floor of the engine room of Hydroelectric Itaúba. Until recently, this stone was merely a reminder of the history of dam construction. She was the Stone of CEEE (State ElectricityCompany / RS). The simbols engraved on the rock were only a curiosity.

More recently, a photo of the stone arrived in the hands of Taís Vargas Lima. She is PhD in Rock Art and teaches at the University of the Campaign (URCAMP / Alegrete city). Lima Vargas came into contact with various specialists. Initial analysis has clarified that the marks on the rock are, in fact, inscriptions and the approximate age of the object is five thousand years.

The Stone of Dam is unlike any other archeological discovered of this kind on the region. The most important mark of this piece of stone is the the inscription because it is high relief.

The Predator of Viamão


The video originally embebed on this page has disappeared from the Internet. That's why BRAZIL WEIRD NEWS now maintains 3 hosting channels for videos posted on the Blog. Several videos are being recovered and posted on other topics. The image above is merely illustrative.

The Military Police Brigade enters the forest of the Road Branquinha in Viamão. The men have guns, map and GPS. They are in search ofthe animal that killed two dogs and is scaring local residents.

Rodrigo dos Santos, commander of the 2nd Company Environmental ─ We have, as concrete evidences, two dogs killed, who were predated. This draws attention because they are large animals [the dogs].

We need to investigation more to know of what kind of predator we're talking. Unfortunately the ground has been very altered. It has many traces of domestic animals: dogs, horses. It is difficult to identify the specific clue of a wild animal. 

We will monitor the area more often, including during the night. We will be watching to the roars and other sounds that are scaring the population. 

There is evidence that it is a large animal, which is a wild animal. Care must be stepped up during the night, especially at dusk.

The enviromental agent advised residents to keep their domestic animals protected, imprisoned or collected close to their resiências. To keep their yards clean, avoid leaving food scraps and remains of animal carcasses exposed. 

Then, a woman owner of two dogs that were killed, Mrs. Angélica Fritz Montana, appears and says: At night, I hear strange noises and a roars that come from the backyard of my house. The dogs are nervous.

The enviromental agent asks for the people avoid the panic [this is a classic!]. Recommends not try to hunt or kill the beast. 

Mrs. Angelica turns to say: At five of afternoon I'll go home. I have care of to close the doors and the windows. Realy, sleep during the night is no more possible.

The agent, Mr. Rodrigo says, yet: Our goal is to reassure the people, protect livestock but, also, try to preserve the life of this wild animal. The florestal guard thinks that the beast can be killing to defend itself from attacks by dogs. Domestic dogs are not part of the food chain of any wild animal.

But the theory does not explain why the attacks to the herds were so violent. Why a big feline killed three sheep? The predator has a big eye! Kills more than needed. This doesn't seems a thing of the savage nature. But, maybe, could be a thing of the nature of a insane.

Mistery - The beast of the full moon's nights


Rio Grande do Sul [Brazil Southern] ─ At the Region of Branquinha, Viamão city, an animal unknown is causing fear among the population. The creature is a predator. Domestic animals and lambs began to appear dead. One belga dog pastor don't resisted. Boris had a deep and mortal wound in his body. Seemed to have been attacked with a machete.

Mrs. Angelica Montano Fritz was dog owner and lives on a little local farm 20 years ago. She was shocked.Not far from there, in Sertão Santana, a peasant, Mr. Inácio de Souza, was in alert. Eight months ago the lambs were the attacked for the first time. During the period were lost 10 sheep and many rabbits giants.

In face of the facts Inácio took his providences: more lighting. He passed to use a knife in his belt and started doing night surveillance in the company of several dogs. None of this helped. In August [2009] in the early hours of the morning, the foreman dicovered the bodies of three dead sheep.

Two of the lambs had the entrails devoured. Necks were cut, the skin was torn. The shoulders presented deep wounds. The skins were torn. Only the third of the lambs was simply dead.

Inácio calls the creature "bicho-fera" (something like monster beast, a language figure of redundance). And he realy tried. But never saw his enemy. 

At a one rainy night in certain moment the dogs began to stay restless. There was something close to the fence. Speaking with the leader of the dogs, Inácio ordered, Go! And Saddam, this is the name of the dog, Saddam went. And returned running, whining, full of fear, with the tail between the legs.

Finally, the beast disappeared of the region. Not for much time. Just changed of environment but was near - and began to attack in small farms, closer to the urban area. But a one thing Inacio had learned: this monster only attacks at the crescent and at the full moon.

THE DEAD OF THE DOGS

The dog of Mrs. Amalia, the pastor Belga Boris [quoted above] was victim at the new territory of the beast at the first period of big moon. 

The terrible creature passed to attack at the at the alley Refugio do Guerreiro, near to Branquinha road, Viamão. The place is very suitable for a predator. Quiet, isolated. 

The region has many small farms connected by small roads, dirt roads - as this alley, called Refúgio do Guerreiro (Refuge Warrior). The houses and the fields are surrounded by a dense forest.

There is also a village with streets of beaten earth. The little town has their municipal school, Westphalen Weissheimer [of Germanic tradition]. This bucolic landscape, where it can be hear the singing of birds is, now, haunted by a bloodthirsty beast.

Two months after Boris death, at the same farm, the farm of Mrs. Angelica, another dog was attacked. A weeping. The Lamentations of pain. And then, the silence. Was all that Mrs. Angelica had heard. The female dog was found the next morning. She was dead. Had a cut on his head and another in the neck. Was lying in a circle of crushed vegetation.

The case of the deaths of dogs, quickly, was in the mouth of the people. People frightened begun to close the homes's doors and windows at the sunset. 

The Children are watched all the time. Rumors circulate: the neighbor of Mrs. Angelica saw the silhouette of a shadow at the shed of his backyard. But what he saw? One head ...

The region entered in alert. Theories appear. It should exist a explanation for the phenomena. Some think that the beast is a puma or an onça pintada. In the past these big cats were very common in the region. Today they are more rare but still exist there. Maybe, but the theory of the big feline does not explain everything.

The fact is that on the eve of full moon, the home of Mrs. Angelica begins to be haunted by strange noises, sounds of steps. She feels like she was being observed by a malign something. 

The terror continues. In another night of fear, realizing something undefined, the woman let out a female dog that has been trained for protection. Her name: Brisa. The female dog ran through the open door. Never came back. At sunrise she was found. The worst had happened: she was dead.

The enigma have no solution - yet. Authorities were called and are investigating. Meanwhile, the moon grows at the sky and nobody knows what kind of horrible things can happen.

WEREWOLVES


Despite the emergence and strengthening of a global folklore, of the establishment of the mythology of the urban legends, most primitive beliefs are still have their place in the most remote areas of all countries in the world. 

The beast of Viamão is a classic case of mysterious predator. The story brings to the mind the legends of werewolves that are present in almost all cultures of the world.

The idea of the big feline is rational but the mode of action of this unknown creature is strange. Transcends the common animal savagery. 

Its uncontrolled aggression, the power of their prey and their claws seem to supplant the power and instinct of a puma or an onça. Would be possible an animal stand crazy? Become itself a psychopath?

Who saw the victims says the killer may have used a machete. Maybe it even a machete. The beast could be even a man animalized. A cursed that carries the stigma of the lycanthropy.

A werewolf who even transformed retains a spark of humanity. That would explain why this monster only kills animals. The beast rejects children on the menu of the dinner. Let's meditate...
