aliens_and_UFOs

Brazil isn’t just about beaches, samba, and carnival  it’s also home to some of the strangest UFO stories out there. If you’re into the paranormal, check out these cities where the skies seem a little too active.

Varginha (MG)
Often called the “Brazilian Roswell,” this town made headlines in 1996 after locals reported seeing a strange creature and increased military activity. Some chalk it up to mass hysteria. Others aren’t so sure.

São Tomé das Letras (MG)
Famous for its quartz-filled mountains and mystical energy, this town is full of stories about UFOs, disappearing hikers, and supposed interdimensional portals. Many locals insist the sky acts differently here.

Colares (PA)
In the late 1970s, residents reported being attacked by strange lights that left burns and other physical effects. The military investigated, but their explanation never quite satisfied anyone. The case remains a mystery.

Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, Brazil has more than a few stories that challenge what we think we know.

Have you ever had a close encounter?

I've noticed an interesting contradiction: while modern medicine recommends cutting salt, traditional cultures with remarkable longevity naturally incorporate it into their diets.
In Japan, despite abundant use of shoyu and miso, the population maintains enviable life expectancy. Across various regions, less processed salts like fleur de sel have been used for generations.
The difference seems to lie in context: refined industrial salt added excessively to ultra-processed foods versus quality salt in home-cooked meals based on natural ingredients.
Perhaps the solution isn't eliminating salt altogether, but rather reducing processed foods, choosing less refined salts, and using it mindfully to enhance the flavor of real food.
What do you think about this contradiction? How do you balance salt in your daily diet?

Music

Frank Zappa wasn’t just a musician. He was a force of nature. Composer, guitarist, bandleader, satirist, and outspoken critic of pretty much everything fake or lazy in culture. He released over 60 albums in his lifetime, blending rock, jazz, classical, and avant-garde like nobody else could.

Zappa never chased trends, fame, or commercial approval. He did things his way, whether that meant conducting an orchestra or shredding on stage with The Mothers of Invention. His lyrics were sharp, weird, funny, and often brutally honest.

If you're new to his work, start with:
• Hot Rats – jazzy, bold, and mostly instrumental
• Over-Nite Sensation – catchy, strange, and full of killer guitar
• Joe’s Garage – a wild concept album that hits way harder than it should

Zappa also stood up for artistic freedom and free speech, going head-to-head with censorship in the 1980s. He was as much a thinker as he was a musician.

Not everyone gets Zappa. But once you do, there's no going back.

Frank Zappa: do you know him?

What do you think about the theory that Area 51 is just a NASA recording studio to deceive those who believe the Earth isn't flat? And that's why Area 51 is so heavily guarded, it hides and deceives millions, concealing the true shape of the Earth.










AREA 51 <- NASA STUDIO?

Are aliens demons?

Area 51 is a studio where NASA does its recordings. That’s why it’s so secretive; it’s part of the lie. That’s where NASA deceives the rest of the world by hiding the true shape of the Earth. Area 51 has extremely powerful computers and is a massive recording studio, which is why it’s so heavily protected by the U.S. government.

"I hope that one day Brazil wakes up and allows its citizens to have access to guns, like in America. Beautiful guns.

Do you really believe in aliens? If so, why? What makes you believe that interplanetary life is real? I believe, but I don't know if it's bullshit or not.

spirituality

What do people think about Islamic culture? I feel like Muslims are more disciplined than Christians. They also seem to take their religion more seriously and actually live by it. I think Christianity has been kind of watered down over the years. Take Khabib Nurmagomedov and other fighters from Dagestan, for example they’re super focused and dedicated, and their faith plays a big role in that.
