Of Navajo-Haitian ancestry, Mario Rocha was born in May 1978 in Lisbon, Portugal. Son of a prominent family in the upmarket Belem neighborhood (his father was an upscale accountant), Mario was brought up with his four older siblings and led a privileged existence growing up.
He graduated from the prestigious portuguese Coimbra University with a major in Marketing & Design and also completed a Master Degree in Business Management at London Metropolitan University in the United Kingdom. It was here that in a short period between October 2000 and January 2001, that a series of strange events took place as Mario claimed an owl visited his bedroom window every night.
He came to believe he was being visited and frequently abducted by non-human entities. This occurrences made him contact Ted Rice, a Louisiana psychic and expert in ufo abductions. Mario flew to the U.S.A to participate in a regression session. The mystery still surrounds the case as Mario never revealed what really happened
