Unveiled by tourism officials on Wednesday, the thirteen-foot-tall piece was reportedly created by nationally renowned artist Renato Criaturas. The statue commemorates what has come to be known as the Varginha UFO Incident, a deeply researched 1996 event involving a downed UFO, possible alien visitors, and an alleged government cover-up.
