Podcast UFO will be attending and livestreaming a historic press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, on January 20, 2026. 11:00am – 1:00pm ET. For the first time publicly, Dr. Italo Venturelli, a leading Brazilian neurosurgeon, will describe his direct hospital contact in 1996 with a living, non-human intelligent being following the infamous Varginha incident. Multiple Brazilian witnesses, medical professionals, and officials will present first-hand testimony regarding the reported crash of an unidentified object, the capture of non-human entities, and the subsequent involvement of Brazilian authorities and the U.S. Air Force. Organized by investigative journalist and filmmaker James Fox, the press conference will introduce new medical, forensic, and governmental evidence, including testimony from Dr. Armando Fortunato, the forensic pathologist who conducted the autopsy of a military police officer allegedly injured during the incident. The event coincides with the release of Fox’s new documentary Moment of Contact: New Revelations of Alien Encounters and follows growing calls for transparency after The Age of Disclosure. This press conference aims to present unprecedented data, encourage mainstream discussion, and prompt further governmental investigation into non-human intelligence encounters.
