THE VARGINHA INCIDENT --------------------- On January 20, 1996, multiple witnesses in Varginha, Brazil reported seeing a strange craft and encountering unusual bipedal creatures. Three young women described a creature with brown oily skin, large red eyes, and three protruding lumps on its head. Reports emerged of military response, hospital transfers, and witness interrogations. Brazilian military issued official denials, but witnesses stood by their accounts. The incident gained national media attention and remains one of Brazil's most compelling UFO cases. DESIGN PHILOSOPHY ----------------- Terminal UFO explores themes of government secrecy, witness credibility, and the construction of truth from competing narratives. The games do not make claims about what is "real" - instead, they present documented sources and let players draw their own conclusions.
