EXCLUSIVE: DR. DESCRIBES FACE TO FACE CONTACT WITH A LIVE ALIEN
In this Reality Check exclusive, for the first-time ever, we hear firsthand eyewitness testimony from a neurosurgeon who had face-to-face contact with an alien. Ross Coulthart sits down with Director and Producer James Fox to discuss his film "Moment of Contact," which updates the 1996 Brazilian UFO incident known as the "Roswell of Brazil." Now, there is new evidence, such as an exclusive interview with a neurosurgeon who claims to have telepathically communicated with a live alien being. The incident involved a cigar-shaped UFO crashing in Virginia, Brazil, and a subsequent military intervention. Witnesses, including a pilot and three young girls, reported seeing the alien being. The film also features testimony from military personnel and pathologists who studied the alien's unique bacteria. Fox emphasizes the need for public disclosure and government inquiry into these events.
