- The largely debated and exposed Projeto Portal (Gateway
Project), created and directed by the biggest Brazilian UFO hoaxer of all
times, Urandir Fernandes de Oliveira, is about to collapse. On the last
days several details of the scam came to the knowledge of hundreds of members
of the sect group, causing many of its main supporters to noisily defect.
Some are very angry at its founder and requiring reimbursement of payments
made to "special alien teachings and wisdom", for sale at the
Project.
-
- The Gateway Project and Urandir have been trying to extend
their activities towards the US, through the release over the internet
of several information of sensationalistic abductions and fabricated UFO
crashes at his and his co-worker's properties. All of them have been unanimously
rejected by the Brazilian UFO community for the last 7 years. Last February,
journalist Linda Moulton Howe came to Brazil and interviewed the alleged
contactee, who has been claiming to be "chosen by ETs to drive Earth's
people fates", presenting several of his stories at www.earthfiles.com.
-
- The dispute if Urandir is a hoaxer is past issue, as
Brazilian UFO researchers have long proved the illegitimacy of his alleged
cases. The most outrageous hoax perpetrated by Urandir has been largely
exposed on the internet by several Brazilian and US investigators and by
me, personally, at the 3rd Seattle UFO and Paranormal Convention, last
May. Now, the new people abandoning the Gateway Project have again denounced
the activities as fraudulent and given new details of the sting.
-
- The last big scam fabricated by Urandir was the alleged
abduction he claimed to have had in September 2002, which supposedly left
strange marks on the bed shits and the ceiling of the bedroom he was sleeping.
Appealing photos were spread all over the internet. Although details of
such fabrication have been made public before, now the former supporters
of the Project have released more info of how the marks were produced.
-
- While visiting in Brazil last April, Californian DPM
Dr. Roger Leir collected from several UFO researchers the information that
the marks (that can be seen at LMH's website) were made by using an iron.
Now this information has been considered wrong. According to new info,
Urandir and his employees faked the marks using a torch. Strangely, the
marks have been considered "very unusual" by specialist Mr. Levengood,
who examined samples collected by the mentioned journalist.
-
- All this new set of information is being carefully gathered
and should be presented to all Brazilian and US UFO communities, in order
to avoid investigators to naively support a case that is largely considered
the biggest UFO scam ever that existed in the UFO field worldwidely.
