The Lead Masks Case: Morro do Vintém, Niterói

August 17, 1966· Morro do Vintém (Vintém Hill), Niterói, Rio de Janeiro state· Brazil

August 1966. Two electronics technicians from Campos dos Goytacazes climbed Morro do Vintém, a hill in Niterói, Brazil. Days later a kite flyer reported their bodies in a clearing near the top. They wore suits and raincoats. Beside them lay two crude eye masks cut from lead. And a note: "protect metals await signal mask."
