Caso Varginha, IPM (Inquérito Policial Militar) Volume 01 (1996)

Volume 01 of the Brazilian Army's Inquérito Policial Militar (IPM) opened in 1997 to investigate the publication 'Incidente em Varginha' and the January 1996 Varginha extraterrestrial-creature allegations involving Escola de Sargentos das Armas (EsSA) personnel and vehicles.

Brief

This is the opening volume of a Brazilian Army Military Police Inquiry (Autos Findos N° 908/1997) instaurated 29 January 1997 at the Escola de Sargentos das Armas (EsSA) in Três Corações, Minas Gerais, with Tenente-Coronel Lúcio Carlos Finholdt Pereira as encarregado and 3° Sargento Vinicius Proba dos Santos as escrivão. The indictment names authors Vitório Pacaccini and Maxs Portes for the publication 'Incidente em Varginha,' which alleged that a suposed extraterrestrial creature was seen in the municipality. The volume reproduces a prior 1996 sindicância (Portaria n° 033-Aj G.2, 10 May 1996) led by Cel Cav René Jairo Fagundes, with sworn testimony from EsSA officers, sergeants, and corporals about the 22–25 January 1996 movements of Mercedes-Benz trucks sent to the AUTOMACO dealership in Varginha-MG for routine maintenance. Every witness denied knowing Ubirajara Rodrigues or Vitório Pacaccini and reported nothing unusual during the missions.

Most interesting

The Brazilian Army's formal investigation was opened not into the alleged creature itself but into the civilian authors of a book about it: Vitório Pacaccini and Maxs Portes are listed as 'Indiciado.'
The military's defensive theory of the case is logistical: every EsSA witness places the Varginha convoys at the AUTOMACO Mercedes-Benz dealership for wheel balancing and alignment, accounting for the trucks the civilian witnesses reported.
Twelve named EsSA personnel were summoned across five days in March 1997, including the BPM commander of Varginha (Ten Cel PM Maurício) and the Corpo de Bombeiros commander of Poços de Caldas (Maj Maciel).
The IPM (1997) absorbs and re-files the earlier 1996 sindicância testimony taken by Cel Cav René Jairo Fagundes under Portaria n° 033-Aj G.2 of 10 May 1996.
Witness depositions are precise to the minute: trucks logged departing EsSA at 08:34 and 15:41 on 25 January 1996, returning at 15:41 and 18:00.
