12501 Antônio Vilas-Boas

A not-so fun fact for you:
In 1957 Antônio Vilas-Boas, a Brazillian farmer came forward with claims he had been abducted by humanoid aliens. His report was that a group of humanoid barking aliens covered him with gel, and a naked attractive female came in and fornicated with him.
His report didn't say if he enjoyed it though. More details on Wikipedia.
