Could a Brazilian animal rescuer have captured one of the most compelling UFO videos of the decade — or did he just pull off one of the biggest viral hoaxes of 2026?In this episode of The Scarecast, we break down the full story of Mayk Leão, a rural influencer from Campo Largo, Paraná, Brazil, who on May 31, 2026, claims he experienced a terrifying, reality-shattering encounter with a massive disc-shaped craft that hovered over the forest near his property — and then flew silently over his house... but what unravel&#39;s in this story, will make you question whether this was all a hoax.But we don&#39;t stop there. This case opens the door to Brazil&#39;s long and deeply unsettling history of UFO encounters — as I dive into the rabbit hole covering Operação Prato (1977–1978), The Night of the UFOs (1986), and my favorite, The Varginha Incident (1996).WATCH the video version of this episode: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e807U6mKiIU" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e807U6mKiIU</a>About The Scarecast:The Scarecast pulls you straight into the dark edges of real life.
