Antônio Vilas-Boas
Farmer and, later, a lawyer · protagonist of the first abduction case with a contemporaneous medical examination (Brazil, 1957)
Biography
His account is chronologically prior to the Hills' and to the very existence of the abduction template, which gives it weight the other early cases lack: there was no cultural mold to copy from. He reported it to physician Olavo Fontes, who examined him and documented skin lesions and symptoms consistent with radiation exposure. He never charged for the testimony nor built a career on it: he studied law, practiced as an attorney, and avoided public exposure for decades. The content of the account —a reproductive-type interaction onboard— is also what most exposes it to a psychosexual reading.
