Man Disappears In Brazil, Leaves Behind Locked Room With 14 Books Of Encrypted Text And A $2500 Statue
Brazilian psychology student Bruno Borges seemed fine when he left his family home to work on a ‘secretive project’ last Monday, but he hasn’t been seen since then. His concerned relatives managed to access his locked room, and what they found inside was both bizarre and disturbing.
The room was covered wall-to-wall with cryptic text and formulas, as well as several strange paintings. 14 books, reportedly written by Borges, contained an indecipherable script. Watching over it all was a tall statue of Giordano Bruno, a 16th-century Italian philosopher who was one of the first to predict the presence of extraterrestrial life, estimated to be worth around $2500 USD.
A video tour of Borges’ room, possibly taken by a police officer, has leaked to YouTube. See it for yourself below, and share your wildest theory with us in the comments.

I would say marketing campaign!! But I am maybe too cynical. Otherwise, mental health issues and I hope the young man, if he exists, is found and helped.

A leaked video? Sorry, but this does not look leaked, it looks staged. Read about the Voynich manuscript for some real mystery!

That's not a leaked video (I imagine the person who posted this story wanted to add some mistery to it) - it's a TV news story. There is probably no audio there because it's a tiny tv crew from a small state in Brazil, they only sent a cameraman/trainee to make the video. This is the original article, in Portuguese: http://g1.globo.com/ac/acre/noticia/jovem-deixou-14-livros-escritos-a-mao-e-criptografados-antes-de-sumir-diz-mae.ghtml

It's like one of those puzzle "Escape the Room" games. He's going to be hidden in that compartment they need to solve to open for a while.

I'm a huge Sci-Fi fan. But for the life of me, I cannot see any logic over all this ET-UFO stuff. I've never believed in FTL travel before, and even if it existed, just crossing this border would still take a good 4.3 years just to get to Alpha Centuri alone. Travel time is just too long to make all this practical. One would have to have a wormhole/fold-point to get from A to B in a reasonable time, and that is still highly questionable. But that would have a fixed terminal location at either end. Colour me "Not Impressed".

Put it this way. If aliens had the technology to get here, they wouldn't bother with us.

I'm guessing probably Schizophrenia. I had a couple of friends who manifested the disease do something similar (one was sure that the rapture was coming, and one thought the CIA was coming). Both disappeared and were found (separately) wandering the streets, homeless.
