First theory: Joseph Mengele's experiments

Surely this name sounds to you.What's more, you may even feel a chill to hear it.One of the theories that experts have reached after conducting several investigations, has to do with this Nazi doctor.Let's review his story a bit: when World War II ended and the Third Reich came to low, Mengele escaped to South America.This doctor was famous for conducting terrible genetic experiments in the concentration camps.Getting children to have blue eyes for example, was one of his most classic experiments.they were as sadistic as cruel, but the most striking thing about Mengele is that he was especially interested in identical twins , in people with heterochromia (eyes of different color), in dwarfs and in people with physical abnormalities.

Joseph Mengele's experiments with twins

It is known that when the war came to an end, he fled to Paraguay and then Argentina, finally establishing himself near the border with Brazil, in a very specific place known as Candido Godoi.and this was where, according to suspicions, he continued with his terrible experiments, delving into that subject that was always of interest to him: the twins.

Perhaps, his experiments with the population of this place had an effect that has been transmitted from generation to generation, to the results we see today translated into the great number of twins present in that locality.

Second theory: inbreeding

This theory is quite controversial.It is known that many inhabitants of Candido Godoy are familiarly matched with each other.Cousins between cousins and even among more direct relatives.Inbreeding has the result that recessive genes are increasingly evident, causing people with very similar physical traits.In fact, it is common to see many blonde blue-eyed people in this location , a feature that does not usually abound too much in these Brazilian areas.

Mother with twins in Candido Godoi

Although this theory does not hold too much, it can explain why all the neighbors have such an air, but it offers no light to the curious The fact that there are so many twins in Candido Godoy.So, it is possible that the most fac tible-and at the same time terrible -is the suspicion that Mengele's experiments had some impact on this area of the world.

Simply amazing and disturbing.

The Hynek scale to assess UFO sightings

Are you skeptical? The American astrologer and ufologist Josef Allen Hynek, creator of the Hynek scale to identify the types of UFO sightings (unidentified flying objects), was also at first. It is that the unknown, the more extraordinary and supernatural is presented, the tendency will be to seek a more or less logical explanation to, perhaps, reassure.Led by the same, Hynek came to reason at close encounters with beings from other worlds as "a matter of postwar nerves ” .
