I was having a conversation with Professor Lupercio (Mayor of Olinda) and decided to ask him about UFO sects in the military dictactorship time in Brazil. He said he had no idea about how much, or how they work, but he said he was presented a IML document about a man named Luciano Batista Almeida, who attacked the Allan Kardec school in Minas Gerais in December 1964 after accusations of zoophilia and domestic violence were brought against him. The story begins as told by Lupercio himself:

"In January, I had access to police documents of 56 years ago. In December 1964, a man named Luciano Batista Almeida, leader of a sect related to aliens, entered the Colégio Allan Kardec, former Liceu Sacramento in Minas Gerais and killed with hammer blows three children, with years being between 3 and 7-years-old and injured two others. Luciano believed his life was going to end, since he was being accused of zoophilia by residents and of domestic violence against his wife, because she did not believe in her husband's sect. Luciano was also attempting to obtain dynamite, but with no success, frustated, had to use a hammer. When he was about to be arrested, he threw himself out of the window of the school and died. The case was not published as the military dictatorship did just spread by the country, and many would be killed with that regime. I was presented with the documents by the Colonel Gomes (complete name unknown), who said that the incident only came to be known when relatives of Luciano requested compensations in damage against the accusations that he was a zoophile. The Colonel was reserved during the conversation, but I was received with great treatment. I will show you parts of a document to who I was shown to."

He then showed me a IML document, describing several "broken bones and fractures". He then stopped replying me and the story seemingly died.

I wonder how much of this is true? Since a school attack in Brazil (which is unique and rare for that date) would have made headlines in newspapers, and I found nothing related to it in newspapers. How did the investigators cover it up? I wonder if the relatives of the victims did not press charges against the police who just covered up the entire event?

The military dictatorship did just began in this year, and many people come up to power, many attacks by the right-wing with its attackers claiming that it was been perpetrated by left-wing extremists. I wonder why this particular did not receive much media coverage. What your opinion on it?

Another UFO related Brazilian cult.

A Brazilian rightwing group led by a messianic cult leader who claimed to be in contact with aliens carried out terrorist acts to justify repression by the country’s military dictatorship, according to newly discovered archive documents.

I remember about reading about Aladino Félix. Very crazy and interesting story! I wonder if Félix's attacks were published by the press in the dates it were being executed?
 
Another Latin American political cult which believed in UFOs, sentient dolphins, getting rid of jokes etc.

J. Posadas, the Trotskyist Who Believed in Intergalactic Communism
AN INTERVIEW WITHA.M. GITTLITZ

From his hopes in human-dolphin socializing to his claims that UFOs were sent by alien communists, J. Posadas’s quixotic beliefs are today legendarized in countless memes. But a new biography suggests that the Argentinian Trotskyist was not such an outlier — and explains why his revolutionary optimism draws such ironic veneration today.

INTERVIEW BYDavid Broder

Posadas (1912–1981) is one of the most famous — and ridiculed — of Trotskyists, notorious both for the cults he named after himself and his claim that UFOs were evidence of communist societies in other galaxies. Together with his belief that nuclear war might hasten the advent of communism (and his hopes that dolphins could be integrated into the new society), Posadas’s xenophilia has in recent years fed his legendarization by countless meme pages, or even outright LARPing in the form of the Posadist Caucus in the Democratic Socialists of America.

For A.M. Gittlitz, author of a new book on J. Posadas, this ironic veneration of the Argentinian Trotskyist also has something to say about our political moment. In times in which it’s hard to believe in the future, Posadas’s wild optimism appears as a caricature of an earnestness and sheer sense of belief now almost lost to us. In his richly researched I Want to Believe: Posadism, UFOs and Apocalypse Communism, Gittlitz documents the more serious side of Posadas’s activism in postwar Latin American Trotskyism, while suggesting that even his strangest claims were not so detached from the UFOlogy of the time.

David Broder is the translator of J. Posadas’s Flying saucers, the process of matter and energy, science, the revolutionary and working-class struggle and the socialist future of mankind. He spoke to Gittlitz about Posadas’s interest in the extraterrestrial, his comrades’ involvement in the Cuban Revolution, and how he became an online legend.

First, let’s talk about Posadas the man. Some of the comments cited in the book — notably, his prediction that jokes would be “unnecessary” under communism — cast him as an intensely ascetic figure, yet this also seems linked to his projection of militant commitment and seriousness. What kind of formative experiences took Posadas toward his vision of organization and “revolutionary morality”? ...

Like most Trots, Posadas strikes me as someone too dumb to understand jokes, and one who lives in utter terror of being laughed at due to his overweening narcissism. At least he is rich in ridicule.
(Step 1) Be ridiculed (Step 2)(Step 3) Profit.

Oi! I used to be a Trot! We used to laugh at Posadas and his minions. There are trots who are in crazy sects and there are also those who are well meaning if misguided.

If nothing else, Trotsky's Military Writings and his work on Literature and Art are still worth reading.

Is it possible Almeida's attack had more to do with widespread Brazilian conflicts concerning parapsychology / psi than with UFO beliefs?

One or more schools with the name you specified were established in Brazil in the context of spiritism / spiritualism - a movement for which French scholar Allan Kardec was the founder.

https://www.revolvy.com/page/Allan-Kardec

Eurípedes Barsanulfo, (May 1, 1880 – November 1, 1918) was a Brazilian educator, pharmacist, politician and prominent spiritist medium. He is best known as the founder and first headmaster of Colégio Allan Kardec, one of the first spiritist schools in the world.

https://www.revolvy.com/page/Eurípedes-Barsanulfo

Such spiritist movements were targets for the church throughout the 20th century, and the most heated period of conflict began in the early 1960s (the period of the attack).
In the last decades of the nineteenth century groups met to discuss themes relating to Spiritism, the movement founded in France by Allan Kardec. Research into mediums by psychical investigators in Europe and North America inspired similar investigation of Brazilian mediums. However, as a strongly Catholic country the burgeoning interest in Spiritism was controversial. The religious establishment felt threatened by African and African-Brazilian mediumistic religions: their practitioners were persecuted and several were arrested. ...

The conflict was especially heated in the period 1960-85, fuelled by television and print media.
