He Was Taken Aboard a Craft. What Happened Next Still Divides UFO Researchers

On the surface, it sounds like something out of a pulp sci-fi novel. A young man, taken aboard a spacecraft.
Strange beings.
A bright light.
And then — something far more intimate.
But this wasn’t fiction.
This was the sworn testimony of Antonio Villas Boas, a Brazilian farmer who, in 1957, claimed to be abducted by extraterrestrials — and forced into sexual contact with one of them.
What makes the story so hard to dismiss?
He told it before alien abduction lore even existed.
And he never backed down.
The Abduction
Villas Boas was just 23 years old at the time, working on a rural farm near São Francisco de Sales. One night, while plowing a field under floodlights, he saw what he thought was a “red star” in the sky.
It got closer.
And then — it landed.
Villas Boas described the craft as egg-shaped, metallic, and mounted on legs. As he tried to run, he claimed small humanoid beings — about 5 feet tall, with tight gray suits and helmets — grabbed him and dragged him aboard.
Inside the craft, he said the beings communicated in grunts and bark-like sounds. They stripped him, covered him in a strange gel, and led him to a small room.
What happened next is what made this case famous — and controversial.
The Woman
According to Villas Boas, a naked, human-looking female entered the room. She was described as:
Pale-skinned
With long, white-blonde hair
Slanted blue eyes
A high, angular face and narrow chin
Possible Nordic?
Without speaking, she approached him and initiated sex.
Afterward, she pointed at her belly, then at the sky — a gesture Villas Boas took to mean: “You’re the father. We’ll be back.”
He was then given a tour of the craft and released. He stumbled home disoriented, with a sunburn-like rash and symptoms of radiation exposure.
What's even stranger is a lot of these 'alien hybridization' claims are often described as Nordics, like in the Pete Khoury case file.
The Medical Report
Villas Boas immediately told his family and sought medical help. A physician named Dr. Olavo Fontes — affiliated with Brazil’s National School of Medicine — examined him and reported:
Nausea, fatigue, headaches
Bruising and skin irritation
"Mild radiation-type symptoms"
All of this was before the famous Betty and Barney Hill abduction (1961) and long before alien abduction had entered pop culture.
There was no script to copy.
No internet to look up symptoms.
Just a terrified man with a story no one knew how to process.
The Reaction
His story was widely dismissed — at first.
Critics called it a fantasy. A hoax.
But others weren’t so sure.
Why would a poor farm worker invent something so strange, then subject himself to public ridicule for the rest of his life?
And why would his physical symptoms match radiation exposure, when he had no access to anything that could have caused it?
He never sought fame. He never made money from the story.
And he never changed the details — not once — even as UFO lore grew more elaborate around him.
What If It Was Real?
The Villas Boas case is still one of the most debated in UFO history. It’s become part of the deeper conversation about:
Hybridization
Reproductive experiments
Human-alien interaction that goes beyond “lights in the sky”
Whether you believe him or not, it’s impossible to ignore one simple fact:
He was first.
He described what others would later claim, years before they could have copied him.
