Hospital staff testimonies from the 1996 Varginha Incident primarily center on Dr. Ítalo Venturelli, a neurosurgeon who testified in 2026 (30 years later) that he examined a non-human entity at Regional Hospital. Venturelli described the being as having lilac, teardrop-shaped eyes, white skin, and three fingers, noting it communicated "calm and tranquility" through its gaze before military personnel removed it.
Additional staff accounts include:
Dr. Marcos Vinico Neves, who reportedly sutured the creature's cranial wound, though he died in 2018 and no medical records of the procedure were kept.
Anonymous nurses and orderlies who reported seeing armed military personnel guarding hospital rooms, an acrid ammonia-like smell, and a "deformed animal" being treated for research purposes.
Dr. Armando Fortunato, a forensic specialist, who testified regarding the death of Corporal Marco Chereze, a soldier who captured a creature and subsequently died of a highly aggressive, multidrug-resistant bacterial infection.
These testimonies contrast with the Superior Military Court’s official investigation, which dismissed the events as fictitious and attributed sightings to a homeless man named "Mudinho" or a summer storm.
