The Antonio Vilas Boas Abduction

On October 16, 1957, Brazilian farmer Antonio Vilas Boas claimed to have been abducted by beings from a UFO and subjected to a sexual encounter with a female humanoid. His detailed account, reported before the famous Hill case, established many elements that would appear in later abduction reports.
