Sao Paulo, Brazil, has a population around 18 million. Campo Grande, in the
state of Mato Grosso Do Sul, has a population of about 850,000.

Rochedo ("Little Rock)," the nearest town to Corghinho and
Urandir Oliveira's farm, has a population of a few hundred people and is
nearly two hours on rough, dirt roads from Campo Grande.

February 22, 2003  Corghinho, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil - In December 2002, I interviewed Brazilian businessman, Felipe Branco, owner of Castelo Branco Fezenda in Campo Grande, about the alleged September 15, 2002 abduction of farmer Urandir Oliveira from his Corghinho bedroom into a non-human craft. (See Earthfiles December 19 and 21, 2002.) Felipe had taken dramatic photographs of scorched body marks on the bed sheet and ceiling of Urandir's bedroom.

he was allegedly lifted in a violet-colored beam from his Corghinho, Brazil, bedroom

Felipe Branco invited me to visit him and his family in Campo Grande in order to go to Urandir's farm to collect physical samples from the bed, ceiling and surrounding environment where even rock has melted in the presence of glowing lights, or plasmas. I left Philadelphia on February 5 and Felipe and I met at the Campo Grande airport on February 8. From there, we traveled in his sturdy truck for two hours on rough dirt roads to Urandir's farm. The soil everywhere is red with iron and cattle graze everywhere. Mato Grosso do Sul is the biggest cattle producer in Brazil.
