Just passing by to say: I'm a brazilian who fell in love with your channel for some time now, your content is so good that it cross barriers, thank you for doing such a great job and for covering cases from here!
😆👍 Mr Ballen bringing up the Vagus Nerve reminded me of a medical-mystery show kind of like "Rescue 911", where a Latino gentleman suddenly and sporadically, started mysteriously just dropping dead with no vitals. Almost as quickly as it would happen, a minute later he would self-revive, usually while his wife was on the phone with emergency services. Becoming dumbfounded over the root cause, the man and his wife realized that it was happening whenever he was would guzzle an ice-cold drink and whenever he would eat something super cold like ice-cream. Doctors found that his Vagus Nerve had mysteriously migrated up against his esophagus and the cold foods and drinks triggered a severe hypothermia response. I think he ended up having surgery to correct it.
@@MAGGOT_VOMIT You should re-post this interesting story in the main area and not an comment to another person's post. I thing others will find it super interesting too.
Im an airline pilot and i have flown with a former brazilian air force pilot who was one of the guys scrambled that night. He told me that in the debrief after the mission he said that when he approached an object, it would turn off its lights and then another object would turn on the lights at the same time somewhere else, and the air traffic controller told him "no, you dond understand, they were not turning lights on and off, they were actually moving at speeds so absurd it would appear to your eyes that they were different ufos." That made him very scared at the time. They to this day have no clue what happened.
True, but he also tells me stories I HAVE heard and he's such a good storyteller that I don't realize it's one I know about already until like halfway through the video lol.
My father was the storyteller in our family. He was very descriptive with his stories like you are. He passed 3 years ago and it has left our family with a huge hole that will never be healed. I miss him so much and I miss just sitting around talking to him and listening to him tell us about his own experiences in life he had been through and telling us about some others he had heard of as well. Even if he had told them to us more than once. I hope your kids know how lucky they are to have a father with this gift. You can tell the story so well we can see it in our minds like a movie. My dad was the same way.
My dad too. He would tell these elaborate tales, usually of Paul Bunyan. He passed in 2010 and it was several years later that i found out that my favorite story (The Tale of Falling Rocks) is an old Boy Scout fireside tale. I still love the stories, but I guess I wont be writing any of them down for posterity. :)

At 12:50 is the photo of my father's late friend, Lt.-General Octavio Júlio Moreira Lima, former Minister of Aeronautics for the Brazilian Air Force. My father was a fighter pilot, and he had a couple of sighting stories, amidst his decades of flying missions. Keep up the Great work, Mr. Ballen! Cheers!
@@devonjones102 this case and many like it are most likely the work of deep black covert human programs for psychological warfare value. They aim to generate fear and mistrust of extraterrestrials to retain control of the populace, while at the same time probably profiting from black market organ trafficking. Look up former US Marine Michael Herrera’s testimony. There’s a lot of other evidence but he’s a good place to start, as his story is very compelling and believable despite the unbelievable things he claims to have witnessed. If you can find the documentary “The Cosmic Hoax” I very much recommend that as well.
@@LatinW321 Harvesting organs by a remote lake is a weird choice. It would also be easier to use a Y incision rather than multiple round incisions. If they were harvesting organs for sale, they made some very bizarre choices.
Just wanted to say thank you for your stories! I have been suffering with a severe hearing loss for the past six months, and this is the only channel that I can listen to without having to use closed captions! You speak with a perfect cadence and clarity. I can’t tell you how much it means to me! ❤
I have severe hearing loss too and you are right, he is the only one I can hear clearly too. I always use CC but I can actually plainly hear him and not use them, it's all about the tones,, pitch, and volume combined for me and his voice is just one of the few I can hear clearly. Heads up Hearing Impaired people, if your favorite channels don't offer caps there is a 99.9% chance that your device has them as part of their system in your settings and it's way more accurate plus you can choose whether or not you want to see the Bleeped words in some cases so that's always fun!
I remember researching this story back in the early 2000's Internet. I had found a website dealing with rare cases of hostile alien encounters and it included this case. It had EXTREMELY detailed photograph as well as autopsy reports and police reports. It also included eye witness accounts. It was horrifying. Ever since then I have never been able to find the pictures and that website again. It also had photographs of the "Brazilian Rosewell"
My mom messaged me a couple weeks back to say she's recently got into watching RU-vid videos and she's found this guy she thinks I'd really like and she links me to Mr Ballen. I'd already been watching for about 8 months. But it was fun to discover that my mom is apparently also a fan of the strange, dark and mysterious delivered in story format.
I absolutely love your show. You have been the only person to be able to help help my buddy Best Friend Billy.. He is a Marine vet with some psychological issues. He wouldn't get help until he started watching your show. Once he saw that you did it. Gave him the courage to do it also.. So thank you from the bottom of my heart . so much Mr. Ballen.. Billy says Thank you!! also.. xoxo
I think this was pure homicide, but no that doesn't make it any less tragic or horrifying. I do kinda believe in alien visitation actually, but you can't just ignore Occam's razor -this location was NOTORIOUSLY a gang victim dump site. Also all the presentations on the body are explanable by the awful things that were done to him, followed by animal scavenging and rapid decomposition.
There is other life forms that visit us and that's fact ..... Its not a matter of 'believing', the government's are telling us they exist now and with all the public stories throughout the years, it's sheer ignorance at this point to think it's just us 😅 whether this particular case was earthly or not, yeah..... Pretty brutal 💀
@audreymuzingo933 that doesn't account for the organs being sucked through the holes that were cut into his body. How and why would a gang of people do this? How did they have the knowledge to make such surgically precise incisions? Why would they do the same thing to the animals in the local area. Doesn't make sense to me
I’ve always heard that you could die due to experiencing a lot of pain, but never heard of the body killing itself to avoid the pain. Very interesting. The human body is crazy
Ballen stated it weird, he did initially say he died from the pain then stated it super weird with his heart shut off to not experience pain. The man did die from the intense pain
The pain was so intense it caused the body to turn off the heart to try and survive, which had the opposite effect. Basically the pain was so bad it caused systems within the body that have evolved over millions of years to malfunction.
I live in Brazil. I remember hearing vague rumors about this event. Not on the news, mind you, just word of mouth rumors around the University campus. Thanks for pooling together all these bits and pieces of information to make it a "tellable" story, good job ! 🇧🇷💚🇧🇷💛🇧🇷
I didn't go to uni there, but if I did, ide mention MY School's name FIRST, lol. "Hey I went to eg. Brazil High Uni, we heard rumours there. What Uni did u hear them on"?
There are several universities in Brazil, in other words, knowing which one in particular doesn't matter, it doesn't make any difference, it obviously must be one in that particular area.
If you have heard about this story before then tell me what is the name of this story please give me a reply because I haven't been able to search this story on Google so please give me a reply 🙏🙏🙏
I'm from Tunisia, and both my parents witnessed the same phenomenon during the same year and same month (May 1986). They witnessed a real UFO that hovered so close on top their car and kept following them (if they move, it moves...if they stop, it stops). Then suddenly, it went back in the sky in a blink of an eye and vanished. My parents heard afterwards that this event happened numerous times in Brazil during that period.
I have several friends and family who have had UFO experiences where I live in the Province of Saskatchewan in Canada and 2 of them involve the highway. One was my Uncle and Aunt who were travelling on the highway at night..with no other cars visible on the highway, except for 1 car a short distance ahead of them. They said a UFO appeared overhead and then it hovered overtop of the car that was ahead of them for a short time…as both cars slowed down…then it suddenly took off… and the car that was ahead of them on the highway had vanished. The other highway UFO involved a friend and her family who were again travelling at night on the highway..with no other cars seen for awhile…when they stoped to stretch their legs and a UFO appeared and hovered for awhile close to them and then took off. *It seems highways at night are a regular spot where UFO’s are seen…especially when traffic is sparse. *I glad your parents were ok.
I had the same thing happen to me and I finally outrank those flashing red and blue lights when the craft in the air with a bright light shining on me pulled off I imagine they needed to refill the Flux capacitor then I snuck home and buried the truck in the back of my shed for a couple of years I'm glad I got away without getting abducted and needing someone to bring me money to escape before they experimented on me because I don't have people that would buy my freedom I don't cut ties I burn bridges down
My family owns a beef jerky shop and we watch your videos LITERALLY every morning while we work. Lol you're our favorite story teller. We ship all over the world and to a lot of people in the military and wanna thank you for your service! So if anyone enjoys Mr. P's beef jerky just know that Mr. Ballen is our morning motivation! 😂❤
I remember when I heard this story a couple of years ago. It’s identical to the Lovette-Cunningham incident, which involves an American Air Force sargeant that was allegedly abducted by a saucer-like aircraft, after which his cleanly mutilated body was found in the New Mexico desert. Except, Cunningham actually witnessed the abduction. He said he saw Lovette being dragged into a silver disc by a snake like object. The body was later found, along with other dead animals that tried eating the body, in the same condition as the body found in the Brazilian reservoir. It’s so disturbing that these experiments were done whilst alive.
Correction: in the Lovett incident the authorities wondered why in an area filled with predators with scarcely any food no animals tried to scavenge the body. Even the ants left it alone.
@@orinboyce7894Correction: I’ve seen several sources that say “There were scavengers surrounding Lovette's body when the troops found him, and they perished after they ate Lovette's mysteriously tainted entrails. Although all fingers point out to aliens, his case remains unsolved.”
@@orinboyce7894 Correction: I just looked over the book The Occult Connection by Ken Hudnall. In chapter 3, The Story of Grudge 13 it says, “Also, it was noted that when the body was found there was very little decomposition and there were a number of dead predatory type birds within the area. The birds had apparently died after trying to eat the sergeants body.”
Just wanted to say thank you so much for your incredible storytelling skills! It has helped me so much. I am from Zimbabwe, and we are going through a really tough time right now. Your stories are the only thing keeping me sane. You have this amazing gift of capturing your audience no matter what story you are telling.
Man you have no clue how long I’ve been waiting for another alien story. Ever since skin-walker ranch your alien encounter stories have been my favorite.
I've had shortlived (thankfully) back injuries a couple of times and I've noticed that my body (or brain) suppresses sneezes as it reckons that would just be too much to cope with.
In martial arts they taught us that a direct strike to the Vegas nerve can actually kill this is because the vagus nerve is easily overstimulated and when that happens it often shuts off so it's not necessarily that the body is attempting to kill itself to relieve pain, rather the vagus nerve is very important to several organs and your entire system in general and is easily shut down with trauma.
It seems these kinds of alien visitors are real and when they experiment on living beings, including humans, they just go ahead and do their advanced procedures without caring for the pain or effect happening to the creature. It's crazy to think how much pain he would have felt, and without any kind of concern from the aliens doing it. Just being taken apart like a bug, but on the human scale. Imagine being one out of billions unfortunate enough to be one of the few picked by aliens for their experimentation/knowledge gathering on the species on earth. I kinda feel bad for the cows too! But this would be beyond a nightmare as it was happening to a human, since we can comprehend on a thinking level, what is happening to us as it is. A true nightmare!
The genius of a good storyteller isn't just their recollections of the facts but their subtle beginning points that anchor our minds within the subject. (When the kid noticed the condors through the glass of the shrimp he found) was captivating.
This is one of the stories that terrified me as a child. Hearing that he was alive during the attack and only died due to the pain kept me awake at night.
I started watching your channel when you had 150k subscribers. I told my entire family to check you out. I even made my kids listen to your stories while we drove from Virginia Beach to West TN. They were annoyed at first and then totally got into it. We ran out of stories before we got there. They were so disappointed. Two of them are no longer living at home but they text me and ask me if I listened to a certain Mr Ballen story.
Me and my family do the same thing. If we're going on a trip we'll stop watching for a couple weeks and then listen to them on our trip. Makes it go by so fast
I love how fast he's growing I used to watch every single vid before he was even in his first 30k subs now I have to wait so I can watch many of his videos in a row because he doesn't post as often he deserves his 8 mill 🎉
congratulations john for 8 million subscribers! i can’t think of a person who deserves it more than you, i’ve been watching since 3mil and it’s crazy how you’ve grown! :)
I dont know if you already covered operation disc, plate, but if you havent you definitely should. Its the biggest UFO situation we have had in Brazil. A high ranking military officer ended up dying in a suspicious way after years of trying to speak some very weird truths about the whole incident!
Started watching MrBallen's videos when he had around 30k-50k subscribers and look at him now.. I'm so happy that others are also appreciating the great storytelling and detailed research that he does..❤️🙌
Hi! I’m brazilian and absolutely love this channel! The best storyteller ever. I have binge watched all the episodes in like 3 days. Thanks for talking about this case!
ja tinha ouvido falar dessa historia? eu sou de 85 e nao sabia desse caso....eu ja assisti o canal todo, agora tenho q esperar todo domingo video novo XD
@@KaustikCODEZ I think perhaps he's run out of user-submitted stories so he's been digging up old newspaper stories. Also I'll have to check that one out, thanks.
The craziest part of watching this video, is realizing you have otherwise watched every single video John and his team have posted over the years since the beginning and knowing his passion has not passed, no matter what. God bless you and your family, John Ballen. You have changed countless lives for the better, countless lives! (John & the team can check for himself and they can too. I at best, maybe have 7% or less if i didnt catch them or didnt remember them). Thank you all for being a blessing people like myself could never have expected or hoped for 🎉❤
@@nicksaldana346 Hats off to him for covering this case. A well-known human mutilation case among those who are doing serious research on the subject of animal mutilation cases. The case was covered extensively by an ex-cop who later became a UFO and paranormal investigator, Butch Witkowski (1947-2022). Separately, a British independent investigative journalist, Richard D. Hall, also reported the case as a part of his investigation into an allegation of human mutilation phenomenon by aliens and its alleged cover-up by the US lead secret NATO recovery teams.
Not even up for an hour yet and already over 50 thousand people have watched what you worked on and created. That's amazing. Thank you for doing what you do. You do it very well kind sir.
I have always had a secret obsession of UFO’s and Aliens…..from sitting outside to “watch the stars” with my dad on a clear summers night to seeing the northern lights (I am in central Canada and we get Northern lights sometimes). But now this has piqued my interest and I am now Alice going down this rabbit hole. Sounds like a fun evening! Thank you as always sir! You are the best.
Honestly I love your stories. You have a knack for keeping people engaged. I’m 60 and have been following you on TikTok on RU-vid and now I listen to your podcasts on Amazon Music. You’re awesome!!!
Thank you so much!! Would you mind telling me your favorite RU-vid and podcast episodes? Feel free to share what you don't like too. I appreciate all feedback 🙏🙏
That poor, poor man. What a horrific thing to experience. Reminds me of the poor guy who was paralyzed, but not anesthetized during the first part of his surgery.
Christina Randall recently did a video about UFO sightings in Brazil and the "legends" locals refer to as "face stealers" or something like that (i believe that was the term that was used) in reference to aliens in the area. freaking insane. wonder why that area is such a hot bed for these types of events
@@AmorStones It doesn’t make sense that aliens would come to earth for precious metals when the average asteroid is packed full of such metals. While it sounds cool to say aliens come to collect gold, they can get that everywhere if they have the ability to fly in space. 🤷🏻♀️
No matter how crazy and messed up my life gets your videos is something I can always count on. They really help me get what’s bothering me off of my mind, and just be present. I’m always so interested in your videos they get your mind going. Thank you for your contribution of peace in my life. And thank you for making a foundation that helps the families of those affected by tragedy. You’re such a gift to this world John, thank you for all your hard work.
I second that. All of it. And thank you Mr Ballen for everything you do. Especially the Mr Ballen foundation. It is a much needed assistance to victims of crime.

This story just give me chills. I remember seeing this story on the Bedtime Stories RU-vid channel, episode is called "The Body on the Reservoir." It makes you wonder what is really out there. What stalks us within our very backyard and woods. Another great vid Mr.Ballen!
They travel inter-dimensionally in the space where you see nothing. My mother would tell me stories about when she was a girl living in the countryside in Jamaica. She said that these things engulfed in a fire would jump from one area to another instantly, and in the morning, the cattle would be dead. Being the olden days, people were not well educated. They attributed the phenomenon to the spirits of dead slaves. In Jamaica, we call them Rolling Calf. It is a part of our folklore. Armed with the knowledge I have today when she describes what she saw, I know that they were interdimensional beings.
I'm very glad to see more and more stories that take place in Brazil being included here! As a Brazilian, it is really exciting to see each of these stories being told in your way, which, as a viewer since last year, I know is extremely engaging and detailed. Thank you so much for telling them, and I hope you can find and tell more of them in the future!
I am so thrilled to see Mr. Ballen & Bedtime Stories working together! That is amazing! Both channels have been two of my very favorites for the last few years!🙌🏼
I remember subscribing at 2.67 million when I first found your channel back in 2020. You were the FIRST RU-vid channel I ever watched or subscribed to! Congratulations on over 8 million! Keep up the strange, dark, and mysterious hard work! ❤
There was an experiment done to simulate the injuries on the cattle using different surgical methods at the time, and see if anything we had could create similar cuts. The MrBallen research team might not have came across it; I’m surprised it wasn’t mentioned It was found that an extremely high powered surgical laser produced the most similar injuries. Not identical, but by-far the most similar. And the laser was massive to say the least. At the time they were large floor units that sent the laser beam through an optical cable to a handheld trigger/lens unit, and required several thousand watts of input power. Based on the injuries under close scrutiny, they were made by something extremely hot, because the skin around the edges of the cuts was cleanly melted together. And yea lol, certainly no one was running around with a gigantic surgical laser and a giant extension cord to power it 🤣🤣
I hear you BUT … … if we are “expected to buy” certain thoughts or premises then the closer that we can get to identifying the “they” then the closer to a question we’ll be able to use for starters. While I am in part a jaded Native New Yorker, I also consider science and the realm of possibility. Remember, it was not that far back that lightning, electricity and electric eels were misunderstood unidentified forces. That said, a skeptical filter is just as important a tool to a scientist or inventor as an open imagination, no matter how farfetched. The rub , therefore, is to eventually land in a happy medium if not on - oof! - a solid fact.
Mr Ballen, I'm from brazil and I'm very familirized with the episod, theres only a few mistakes: In this nitgh that youre talking about, our air control saw in the major airport of country an object (multicolor, not red) flying. The controller guy sent a message to another nearby control tower, asking if it was seeing the same thing, which was confirmed. Our government activated the jets that managed to chase the object for some time, they were at relatively the same speed and the aviator spoke to the air force and was authorized to open fire. At that moment the object entered at Mach 18 speed and escaped, a fact that was a pure and simple impossibility for the technology of the time. We have a law in Brazil that keeps certain matters as classified for a certain period of time, and then publicizing these acts is mandatory. When this happened our press reported it.
@@ITCHINGTOSCRATCH864 the dude is a fuking legend- because he refuses to make stores up- i knew that dogman wasn't real because Ballens didn't cover it
This story has always been so fascinating to me. I didn’t know all the details so THANK YOU! I love how you are unbiased when telling a story. Definitely adds mystery!!!
A great example of just one of the many under-reported stories of UFO contact worldwide -thx for the expert storytelling! And thx for being on the show, John!
Just donated to the man with a skydiving accident and I saw where people listen to your podcast it are donating because of it God bless you and your family❤ I also look forward everyday to listen to your stories you're pretty amazing storyteller
MrBallen, just wanted to thank you. However long your videos are, is how long I get to enjoy the fact that nothing else matters around me for that bit of time. The length of your videos, nothing is wrong, I'm not sad, nothing. Just lost in your storytelling. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Much love! ❤
I became officially a fan of the strange, dark and mysterious delivered in story format when I came to the right place because that's all y'all do and upload regularly, god bless. Lots of love for you and your loved ones sir!
MrBallen’s channel is easily the best on youtube. To have been in his platoon and listened to his stories at night would have to be the greatest experience in the world. Please keep it up sir! And please release a brown flannel!
WOW!! I just noticed the number of subscribers. You had around 200k when I began tuning in to tales of the strange, dark, and mysterious. Dude, you both rock AND roll. Congrats on your well-deserved success!!
I remember this story. I'm from Brazil and until this day half people believe it and half not. Thanks for telling true stories about my country! Love your channel, i listen to all stories. Congratulations! 😊
Something similar happened in the UK back in 1980. A corpse was found on a coal pile in Todmorden, Yorkshire in June of that year. The case was being investigated by PC Alan Godfrey, but six months later he was also abducted by aliens. This is a very famous UFO case in England.
As a victim of someone who has opened a violently shooken can of soda I have to say that is quite possibly the most diabolical thing you've told people to do to the innocent like button.
Mr Ballen, this was one of the best stories you've covered in my short time bingeing your content. I've struck up deep conversations with my loved ones about this case and the abduction in Snowflake. Absolutely fascinating. My dad always believed he'd been abducted, I wish I'd taken him more seriously. Thank you! ❤
The leaked autopsy photos sound so disturbing and bizarre - the surgical precision of the holes and missing organs is really unsettling. I can understand why the Brazilian government wanted to cover it up back then, even if it was to prevent public panic over theories about UFOs being involved. Brazil sure seems to have a lot of UFO activity. Even if this case remains unexplained, the details revealed years later are super creepy and mysterious. I can see why some connect it to alien activity, but we may never know for certain. Wild stuff!
Hi from Australia, I hope you don't get taken by those evil aliens and have holes drilled into you have your organs sucked out 😐 That be BAD. You ana me should team up and stop these evil aliens
@@Sidelinefighter-expert I don't automatically attribute all these cases to aliens, but there is really no humanly explanation for them either. To say that these were done by humans is equally BS as to say they were done by aliens, since even modern medical tools today can't do what was done, back in 1988 even more
I remember this story from Bedtime stories coming out and left me want to hear more and more. This story was the reason why I still follow it till today!
First of all, as always great storytelling Ballen! Your content is always entertaining to watch, and ESPECIALLY, a video in my country Brazil, in fact, im former Brazilian Military, and as such i just wanted to put my 2 cents about what you said in the video, even though i was in the army ( usually here the air force handle this kind of ''phenomena'' ) i was very interested in these stories when i was on service, you said what happened in SÂO PAULO, known as the night of UFO's was the greatest incident in the country, well, we have many other ''great'' incidents like these, that perhaps will give you some content ideas, just search about Operation Prato(Dish in english) and The Varginha incident, and you will see, keep up the good work.
This also happened to my Fiancés fathers cow back in the late 90s early 2000's where he found the cow completely drained of blood, and half of its face surgically removed, and the genitalia completely cut out of it as well as some circular cuts made on its side. Very strange. That was in Canada... so I definitely believe in this story. So crazy!!! It also happened to some other farms around the same area as his farm.
This reminded me of the movie from 1982 call Endangered Species regarding investigation of a series of bizarre cattle mutilation in Wyoming. It was a very interesting movie, very similar to what happened in Brazil.
Mrballen and Lighthousehorror are the only male narrators whose voice and storytelling ability allow me to go to sleep(HUGE because of insomnia) but Mr ballen i can even listen to while doing house chores and he keeps me engaged, not just in the story but in what im doing(Huge as i have focus issues)
