Two Brazilian electronics technicians were found dead on a remote hilltop in 1966, dressed in matching suits and raincoats, their eyes covered with crude shields cut from sheets of lead. A cryptic handwritten note beside them instructed them to "ingest capsules," "protect metals," and "await signal." Six decades later, no cause of death has ever been officially confirmed. Episode 23 of Still Unexplained explores the Lead Masks Case of Vintém Hill: the secret society of scientific spiritualists, the missing money, the UFO witness, and the forensic disaster that made sure we'd never know the truth.
