Initial data
"One of the creatures, about 3 meters tall, seems to be inspecting the island of Ilha do Mel, an island 3 km off the coast of Southeastern Brazil, and there is another one behind"
The "creatures" were spotted at the top of a hill, which, according to locals, is difficult to reach and can be seen looking in the direction of another small island.
Although the figures are clearly humanoid, they still look very strange, as if they have unnaturally long arms and legs.
"They are too tall to be human," say the locals who watched these "creatures"
Original news
New video shows two giant, humanlike creatures strolling along the foothills of a small Brazilian island in what some believe is proof aliens are visiting Earth.
One of the 10-foot tall beings appears to take in the sights of Ilha do Mel, an island two miles off the coast of Southeast Brazil, as another stands closely behind, the footage shows.
They stand confidently on the top of the hill, which locals say is difficult to reach, with the shrubbery barely reaching their knees.
The pair could be seen swinging their arms in an eerily humanlike manner — but not enough to convince eyewitnesses that they weren’t watching aliens.
“It’s too big to be a person,” one person says in the video, according to a translation by JB Litoral.
“Look at the way he moves, it’s really weird! Look at the size of those pasts, it’s very fast,” answers another.
The video generated even more traction once it made its way onto social media — which had blown up just days earlier after Floridians similarly claimed that 10-foot-tall aliens had been strolling through a Miami mall.
“For me it’s enough to see the speed with which this creature goes down the hill. Anyone who has done trails on hills like this knows that you don’t go down a hill like this in 1-2 minutes,” one Instagram user wrote.
“The way they move reminds a lot of the [Men in Black] critters,” said another.
One wrote: “One thing I do know… I will never step there again.”
Other, more skeptical users threw in their two cents, claiming the creepy video was likely just a result of forced perspective.
Even the Brazilian government joined in on the fun — though they notably did not confirm whether the giants were tourists from another country — or another planet.
“Surreaaaaaaal what happened on Ilha do Mel!!! Great Summer at Paraná is another story and even “strange beings” came to check it out,” the state government of Paraná, wrote on X.
Hypotheses
The illusion of perspective
Explanation of some of these illusions based on the human tendency to perceive as more major what is next, taking into account the effect of perspective. It makes our brain it is a mistake to exaggerate the size of two equal subjects, which is more removed.
Shapes are perceived different in size, because the observer knows from experience that the indirect signals are usually given information about perspective and distance. Much of what people "see" around itself, is the result of past experience. Even if experience does not match this situation, it is, nevertheless, used.
Mounting
Photo editing began to be used almost immediately after the advent of photography techniques. They were divided into methods of photomontage without manipulation of the image after receiving the photo and retouching of the photo itself or its negative (plate, film, etc.)
Deliberate falsification
This version includes any falsifications that imitate unexplained phenomena both from the outside: practical jokes, flash mobs, fake news, witness fraud, staging, etc.
There are many ways to make something similar to a ghost or a flying saucer from improvised materials, without using video and photomontage.
Many homemade things made for the sake of a joke, a practical joke or a direct imitation of a mystical being or event can be taken as unexplained not only in photos and videos, but also in reality.
Investigation
It looks very much like an ordinary person. It looks like a thin man with long hair is filming a view from the mountain and then going down. How was the growth assessed? What made you think they were aliens?
Reinaldo posted in his group a comparison of ordinary people in the same place and a supposed alien:
Thus, most likely, an ordinary person was mistaken for an alien.
