In August
2004, was revealed in Brazil a long interview of researcher Ubirajara Franco
Rodrigues with Dr Cesário L. Furtado, one of the physicians who had attempted, without
succes, to heal the young policeman Marco Eli Chereze, deceased less than a
month after having been in contact with one of the mysterious beings captured
in Varginha, in January 1996. This interview has been published in the magazine
UFO Brazil of A.J. Gevaerd (N° 102), and on its
web site http://www.ufo.com.br.
It has been translated in french by Christian Sannazzaro, and published on the
web site of GREPI http://www.ovni.ch.
That interview being very long, and containing some repetitions as the
conversation proceeded, Gildas Bourdais proposes here a shorter, adaptated
version, in an effort of clarification. It is preceded by a presentation of the
Varginha case by A.J. Gevaerd which is maintained here almost entirely.
This new testimony comes in
addition to those presented already in the french version of the book of Dr
Roger Leir, published in France in January 2005 (before the American edition)

Brazilian UFO Network
One of the most serious facts of the “Varginha case” –
and one of the most appalling – was the death, on February 15, 1996, of
Corporal Marco Eli Chereze, who was then aged 23. As we know, he was part of
the secret service of the Military Police (P2) which participated in the
capture of the second creature in the night of
Rodrigues managed to check with the City Hall that a
policeman had really found death shortly after the capture of the creatures.
The ufologist even obtained a copy of the death record, by which he was able to
locate the family of the boy. The same witness who alerted the investigators
about the death of Chereze also declared that the creature, at the moment of
the capture, would have attempted a light reaction, obliging the policeman to
touch his left arm without his gloves. For some of his colleagues, he would
have been contaminated one way or another.
Marco Eli Chereze
The family of Marco Eli Chereze managed to have an
inquiry opened by the local police precinct in order to establish eventual
medical responsibilities for his death. At that time, searches seemed to be
doomed to failure, but they are still under way at the present time. The
parents did that because, a few days after January 20, a small tumor, similar
to a furuncle, appeared under one of the armpits of Chereze. That tumor,
according to what was learned at the time, would have been rapidly extracted by
the doctor in charge, at the very premises where he was serving. We know today
that nothing like happened. But what most drew the attention of the boy’s
family was the lack of informations about his health condition and, later,
about his tragic death. Even months after his burial, nobody knew exactly the
cause of his death.
Autopsy refused
The police superintendant himself, who lead the
inquiry, was not able to be present at the autopsy of the policeman, in spite
of his insistance in the face of the police corps in which Chereze served. The
retention and/or dissimulation of information regarding that subject were
purely and simply an affront to the family of Chereze and to the laws of the
Nation. Even worse, such an affront was commited by the Military Police itself.
It’s only one year after the event of Varginha, on
Among the most disquieting facts put forward by the
investigators, there was precisely the absence of informations regarding the
death of Chereze, the most important piece of the headache named the Varginha
Case. Thus, in the middle of a press meeting at the first anniversary of
the event, investigators denounced the silence and obtained that the family,
the police superintendant and the press had at last access to the autopsy file.
From its contents, soldier Chereze would have died from a generalized
infection. The policeman would have arrived at home, a certain night after the
capture of the creature, suffering from a strong pain in the back. After the
ablation of the tumor, he would have shown a gradual process of paralysis and
fever which, becoming more serious, obliged him to go to the hospital Bom
Pastor where he remained confined and practically isolated from his family
during several days.
Close relatives of the policeman, especially his
sister, Marta Antônia Tavares, the one who went the most frequently to the
hospital, could not have contact with him and had great difficulty to meet the
doctor responsible for the treatment ; and it was even more difficult for them
to discover what the illness was. Little time after his entry at the hospital
Bom Pastor, the policeman was transfered to the hospital Regional Do Sul de Minas,
also located in Varginha, the same where he would have brought, in the night of
January 20, the creature he had captured. Chereze was led directly to the
center for intensive care of the establishment and taken in charge by the very
physician who reveals today publicly what he knows. This is where Chereze
passed away at exactly
(note
of G. Bourdais: the following interview of the doctor gives a slightly
different story)
“Although all the tests and exams
possibles were applied in the search of a diagnosis, he could not be saved in
time”, was to declare the superintendant in charge of the inquiry, in the
course of his deposition before the judge of the “COMARCA”. It was just discovered
that the physicians who took care of Chereze at the time did not have the
faintest idea of how to fight the illness which was striking him down. After
the decease of the boy had been unveiled before the press present at the
meeting of January 1997, the commander of the Military Police of the state of
Minas Merais denied the facts immediately, including the presence of Chereze
during that night of january 20. But, in order to protect such an absurd story,
they invented an even more crude one.
The family of Marco Eli Chereze confirmed that he was
indeed on duty that night. Furthermore, he did not die alone because of his
professional activities after the contact with an alien, but the creature he
had captured died also after that contact, and much faster than Chereze. “It
seems clear that the death of the policeman has become the less controlable and
the most dangerous piece of the process of dissimulation imposed by the
military of ESA and the brazilian Army”, has acknowledged Marco Petit, co-editor
of the magazine UFO, who participated actively in the inquiry.
A.J. Gevaerd
then presents the interview of Dr Cesário Lincoln Furtado by Ubirajara Franco
Rodrigues, stressing the considerable research of Ubirajara on Varginha, and
the “extreme importance” of this document. Here is now the interview.
II –
What was the cause of the death of policeman marco Eli Chereze ?
Interview of Dr Cesário Lincoln Furtado by Ubirajara Franco Rodrigues (summary by Gildas Bourdais)
Dr Cesário Lincoln Furtado
Ubirajara Franco Rodrigues (Ubirajara
hereafter) asks Dr Cesário Lincoln Furtado (Dr Furtado hereafter)
what was his role in the treatment of policeman Chereze in the hospitals of
Varginha in 1996. The following is the summary of his answers to several
questions, condensed in chronological order:
Dr. Furtado — Marco Eli Chereze was
first admitted in the Department “Prontomed” (emergency ward) of the hospital Regional
by my colleague Armando Martins Pinto (cardiologist), on
Questioned by Ubirajara, Dr
Furtado explains that he worked in both hospitals. However, during that month
of January, he did not work at the hospital Regional. He went every morning at
the Bom Pastor. The reason why Chereze was sent to Bom Pastor is not clear to
him: perhaps because of lack of room at the Regional, or rather because Chereze
would have military medical coverage there.
Dr. Furtado — The next day, at the
hospital Bom Pastor, we asked for new exams because Chereze was still suffering
in the lumber area. We asked for urine analyses, radios of the column, of the
lumber and sacrum areas, in addition to an examination by an orthopedist
because the pain was intense and we suspected the presence of an herniated
disc. Dr Rogério Lemos, in charge of orthopedy, examined him and said that there
was no alteration and that the problem did not come from there. He told us to
continue our search of the cause of the pain, as fever began to appear at that
time.
The blood analyses, which arrived
in the afternoon, showed an hemogram with a leucocytosis, a deviation to the
left and toxic granulations in the neutrophils. This was the sign of an
important infection, highly capable of provoking a poisoning (toxemia) –
because there were those toxic granulations. We then administered two
antibiotics: penicillin and gentamicin, because we thought that there could be
a pneumonia, owing to the localisation of the pain, or an urinary infection.
His case was evaluated again on
February 13: same condition. The next day, still at the hospital Bom Pastor, he
spent the day with fever and pains, but at an “acceptable level”. Until the
morning of the 15, where he woke-up very tired and in a state of torpor, with
signs of cyanosis. These symptoms seemed to confirm a general poisoning
vehiculated by the blood, with a possible outcome in septicemia. He was then
immediately transferred to the CTI (Intensive Care) of the hospital Regional,
where he was put under medication.
At the CTI of the hospital
Regional, one of the first exams was for HIV, with a negative result. His state
of health deteriorated rapidly and he died in a few hours, although he had been
given antibiotics soon after his admission. This intrigued everybody and an
autopsy was performed. It did not confirm an urinary infection, but that was
later confirmed by the urine culture which had been ordered at the Bom Pastor.
He also had a mild pneumonia.
Said Dr. Furtado — “In my opinion, the urinary infection was the cause
of septicemia, because the pulmonary infection was so minimal that it could not
have been responsible for such a state”. The close relatives of Chereze,
mainly his sister Antônia, says Dr Furtadoo, suspected that the abcess Chereze
had in the left armpit, after the military operation, had not been properly
treated, which may have caused infections. But Dr Furtado denies that, because,
when Chereze was admitted at the hospital, the abcess was practically cured.
Furthermore, the abcess was due to another bacteria, a staphylococcus, which is
normal for any small infection on the skin.
The main point, insists Dr
Furtado, is that the cause of his death – the causa mortis - has not
been clarified. A few days before, the boy was in very good health, and at the
beginning the infection looked relatively simple. He never had in the past any
difficult treatment which could have caused an immunodeficiency. And it could
not be congenital either because, if such had been the case, he would not have
reached the age of 23 years in good health. This is why we can affirm that his
immunodeficiency was “acquired”, but we don’t know how. His death was not
caused by a pneumonia, neither by an urinary infection, nor by the abcess.
Dr Furtado also says: At the beginning, the
diagnosis of an urinary or kidney infection prevailed because of the presence
of “enterobacteria”. But, in less that 20 days, three bacterias attacked the
policeman. THREE ! This is a very rare thing in the world. When Marco had a
pulmonary infection, he already no longer had any immune defense. In that case,
any bacteria can take control of a person.
At the request of Ubirajara, Dr
Furtado gives more medical details.
Ubirajara asks: « In the hemogram sent by the laboratory of Bom Pastor, it is said:
“Presence of cytoplasmic vacuoles. Presence of 8% of thin toxic granules in the
neutrophils. Discret polikilocytosis”. How can you, as a physician, interpret
the presence of 8% of those small toxic granulations in the neutrophils ? »
Dr. Furtado — They appear in the
neutrophils of a person who is victim of the agression of a very virulent bacteria.
This provokes a “battlefield”, if we may say, which could reach 50% ou 60%. The
file mentions 8% because it refers to the first blood analysis. And that
already demonstrates that there is an infection, which led to the prescription
of antibiotics. Their presence denotes an important and serious infection. It
is not frequent, except in serious cases.
Ubirajara — in ufological
circles, when some researchers will read this statement in the results of the
hemogram, they are going to interpret that those 8% of toxic granulations were
“unknown things”, the presence of a new substance, or yet something else.
Dr. Furtado — No, nothing like
that, absolutely nothing. As I said already, they don’t appear in other infections
but are frequent in serious infections.
Ubirajara — During the time that
you took care of the policeman, did you notice, at the Bom Pastor as well as
the Regional, the presence of any unknown physician, from outside ?
Dr. Furtado — No, I did not notice
any. I did not see either the superiors of Marco Eli Chereze, whether of the
police or the army. They did not look for me, not even to collect the least
information regarding the boy, during the two or three days.
Ubirajara — There is, in the
medical inquiry following Marco’s death, the deposition of a dermatologist. He
mentions a blood infection, in which red cells would have been attacked by
white cells. According to this dermatologist, those 8% in the blood examination
could have denoted a contagion by the skin of an eventual toxic substance which
would have attacked the red cells. What do you think of that ?
Dr. Furtado — This has nothing to
do. There is no connection between these elements.The report also says that a
few days could have passed before the process materialized, but it is not so.
If there were such a contagion by the skin, it’s effect would be blazing. We
would be decimated everyday that way.
Ubirajara — Could you see the
body ?
Dr. Furtado — No, I could not. It
is not usual. After the death, the body is taken for the autopsy and there is
no other recourse. After a person is deceased, you inform the family – and in
the case in question, I was not even the person who did that, because when they
took him to the CTI , I transferred my responsabilities to the other doctor at
the CTI.
Ubirajara — Did the family think
of asking for an exhumation of the body ?
Dr. Furtado — Not that I know of.
In fact, an exhumation would not have brought any proof of what really caused the
death. As for the death certificate, the cause of the death was not mentioned
because there was not the faintest element permitting to guarany anything.
Ubirajara — You mentioned that a
member of his family had affirmed that he wanted to know what this illness was
about, because the policeman had participated in the capture of something
strange. Was this told to you before, or after his death ?
Dr. Furtado — A few days later,
when his death was still recent. I don’t remember very well, but his sister was
in great shock, and she came to talk with me.
Ubirajara — let’s stick to the
facts regarding this interview. But, did you notice any other movement at the
time, in one of these hospitals ?
Dr. Furtado — I heard of many
things, but I did not witness any particular movement. However, rumors were
thriving at the maternity ward of the hospital Regional, but I never worked
there, being not an obstetrician. Furthermore, the maternity was somewhat
separate, the entrance and the rest of it. As for the hospital Humanitas ,
where I also worked at the time, I did not notice anything. Not even comments
between doctors, nurses, and office personnels.
Ubirajara asks further if there
could be isolated areas in those hospitals. Dr Furtado explains that, at the
Regional, there was also a reserved aisle, used for contagious patients. At the
Humanitas, there were few movements, and there wee many rooms without activity.
But, in 1996, there were no longer isolation premises, except in hospitals
specialized in contagious illnesses.
Ubirajara — Do you see other
interesting aspects to mention about that episode ?
Dr. Furtado — Listen, there is that
story reported by the family (regarding the capture of the being), about which I
don’t know anything. But, we don’t find any rational explanation for the death
of this boy. Because it was terribly fast, you understand ?
Ubirajara — Could it be caused by
a totally unknown bacteria, however improbable ?
Dr. Furtado — Yes. Well, if we talk
of something completely unknown, it is obvious that we could not risk any
conjectures. There is no answer possible. Now, could something have penetrated
inside his organism, something equally unknown, which would have deprived him
of his immunity system ? This is another question without answer.
Ubirajara — Could you tell what
type of thing would be susceptible to provoke that, for instance ?
Dr. Furtado — I don’t know. That
might be an injectable “poison”, an infection of injured skin, at the face or
foot. It might be an injury caused by a nail, which would provoke tetanos, etc.
But we know tetanos. A multitude of things, I might say, and this is just to
enumerate some examples of what might have contaminated that boy and deprived
him of immune resistance. I repeat that I say that it ‘COULD BE”.
Ubirajara — Are you telling me
that the death of Marco Eli Chereze was a strange death ?
Dr. Furtado — A strange death, without rational explanation. In the course of my
professional life, I have seen already two persons, aged about 25, die of an
infection, but we knew that both had immune deficiency. Both of them, if I
recall well, had had removal of the spleen (splenectomy) following a past
accident. After a certain delay, that causes immunodeficiency. In that
situation, the person may decease rapidly if he finds himself in the condition
of a septicemia. But, once again, it was not the case.
