Urandir has been interviewed by Jeff Rense on Thursday night, December 12, assisted by his fellow Felipe Castelo Branco. This has taken serious people in the USA and all over the world to believe in the story invented by Urandir. The damage can be much bigger than one can think. In Brazil, responsible UFO researchers and large media stream have succeeded in debunking him at a considerable level. We have succeeded in preventing that thousands of Brazilians being cheated by Urandir and now he is trying the USA and other countries to establish his sect. Serious UFO researchers all over the world cannot let it -happen. The man is as fake as a 3-dollar bill. He spent time in jail for selling property that doesn't belong to him.

Hello Jeff,

I am not at all surprised by Gevaerd's letter.

He has tried in the past to "cut a deal" with Mr. Urandir (about 6 years ago) to have his story an exclusive subject of his magazine (he is the editor of UFO magazine).

Mr. Urandir did not agree, and thus we have formed a very large UFO research association with its membership amounting to 1,000 plus associates. We are people of open mind who are keen to uncover the amazing phenomena that occurs in the Campo Grande area.
Mr. Gevaerd has never performed any research whatsoever "in loco". I have invited him to come and check the facts there and he has not responded so far. This is an old grudge and he utilizes his "status" in the UFO community to debunk this case without even doing the proper research. You see, Jeff, there is no degree in UFOLOGY and all these associations that he belongs to, like MUFON and others, do not hold the canon in UFOLOGY. As a matter of fact, I think some are engaged in disinformation.

Mr. Gevaerd is not the ultimate word in the field, he is just interested in selling magazines. I would describe him as the Phillip Klass of Brazilian ufology.

Jeff, we are assisted by a very well known American scientist who is providing us with a strong scientific base for our case. He is willing to produce the evidence when his research is finished. Well, what else can I say? We are not at all worried about Mr. Gevaerd.
Thanks again, Jeff, for allowing us to divulge our experiences on the UFO phenomena.

Best regards,
Felipe
