Antônio Vilas-Boas (1934–1991) was a Brazilian farmer (later a lawyer) who claimed to have been abducted by extraterrestrials in 1957. Though similar stories had circulated for years beforehand, Vilas-Boas's claims were among the first alien abduction stories to receive widespread attention. Some skeptics have suggested the abduction story is a hoax, although Boas reportedly maintained his account throughout his life.
