Luli Oswald, Rio–Saquarema road

The account
She said one of the beings told her they came from Antarctica. The case became one of the best-known Brazilian abduction reports because the witness was a well-known concert pianist.
The sceptical view
The abduction story rests on memories recovered under hypnosis, which is known to produce false memories. No independent witness or physical evidence was reported.
