Outlandish

UFOs are all the rage in Brazil these days. One of the most successful novelas (soap operas), for example, is O Amor Está no Ar (Love Is in the Air), in which Luíza, played by Natália Lage, makes contacts with beings from other planets. These days, aliens, UFOs, and supernatural phenomena take up 30 hours of TV programs each week. A group of UFO enthusiasts is planning the world's biggest UFO conference ever for December 1997. And it seems that Brazil has become one of the favorite spots for extraterrestrials to land and make contact with humans.
