Subject V-3 reportedly still alive — facility location unknown

The source has been in intermittent contact with an independent investigator since 2017. The source's identity is sealed and the investigator has stated that he does not know the source's full name. Communication has been one-way and asynchronous, with messages delivered through a series of intermediaries.

The source has provided three statements over the period of contact, each consistent with the others in the details that overlap, and each declining to provide imagery, documents, or third-party witnesses. The source has stated that the absence of supporting material is intentional and is the only condition under which the source will continue to communicate at all.

The source asserts the existence of a containment facility maintained jointly by Brazilian and allied personnel and located in the southern Brazilian highlands within ground-transport range of Varginha. The source asserts that one specimen, designated internally as V-3, has remained alive and biologically active in containment since 1996. The source further asserts that observation protocols at the facility have not changed since a procedural review concluded in 2008.

The source does not describe the facility's appearance, its staffing, or its access controls. The source does not describe V-3's appearance, behavior, or condition. The source has been asked, repeatedly, to provide a single piece of independently verifiable information, and has declined each time on the grounds that doing so would compromise continuing access.

The source's claims cannot be verified. The investigator has stated, on the record, that he believes the source is real and that the source is in a position to know what the source claims to know. He has also stated, on the record, that he cannot rule out that the source is constructed. We publish the file as the source's claims have been received, with no endorsement of their accuracy.
