The Chupacabras Phenomenon
Jorge Martin, Editor OVNI Evidencia

Jorge Martin is editor of Puerto Rico's prestigious
OVNI Evidencia, a magazine devoted to UFO research. He
believes US intelligence are controlling events on the
island and using disinformation tactics to dampen media
interest.

Martin has investigated UFOs for many years, and is
trying to obtain scientific and political
acknowledgement of the incidents in Puerto Rico. In a
surprising development, questions are now being asked
the House of Representatives, as a frightened populace
and frustrated farming community now believe the
Chupacabras phenomenon is indeed real.

Since December 1994, there has been more than 2,000
reported cases of animal mutilations in Puerto Rico.
The island is already infamous for its number of UFO
sightings witnessed over the years, which includes
mysterious disappearences of American military
aircraft.

Jorge Martin now reports on a new development, and some
quite remarkable evidence which suggests an animal
unknown to science is systemically killing hundreds of
animals and frightening witnesses across this beautiful
island. Locals have named the creature the Chupacabras,
or "goat sucker". In a world exclusive report, UFO
Magazine reveals Puerto Rico's amazing secret..

A consistent wave of UFO sightings, as well as numerous
apparitions of a weird creature which has killed
livestock and been dubbed the "Chupacabras" [the Goat
sucker] by the sensation-seeking media. The creature is
apparently responsible for the deaths of cattle, sheep,
goats, rabbits, hens, ducks, cats and dogs, etc. After
death, the creature appears to extract blood and other
fluids from the animals' body.

Thousands of animals have been killed, and communities
now live in fear. Throughout the killings, the
authorities have claimed the deaths are due to attacks
from groups of stray dogs, baboons(!) or exotic animals
illegally introduced in the island's territory. The
director of Puerto Rico's Department of Agriculture
Vetinary Services Division, Hector Garcia, has stated
that, "it could be dogs, that the small puncture wounds
observed in the victims necks are similar to those
inflicted by the fangs of canines." He also stated that
no other unusual features have been observed in the
dead animals examined by his division, and this
included no loss of blood. Veterinarian Angel Luis
Santana, of the private Gardenville Clinic, in San
Juan, said, "it could be a human being who belongs to a
religious sect, even another animal. It could also be
someone who wants to make fun out of the Puerto Rican
people." All of the above official `explanations' to
the enigma, have failed to identify the manner in which
the animals died, and the observations made of unknown
creatures by serious reliable witnesses all over Puerto
Rico. The facts tell a very different story... The
animals have been found with many small - perfect
circular holes about 1/4" - 1/2" in diameter arranged
in pairs of triangular fashion. These penetrate deep
into the neck of lower jaws of the victims [see
photographs]. Dr. Carlos Soto, a qualified veterinary,
states the wounds have a regular pattern in many of the
cases - into the head of the animal - a hole
penetrating through the right jaw bone, muscle and
tissue, and straight into the brain: more specifically
directly to the cerebellum, puncturing it and causing
instant death to the animal. This regular type of
wound, and the path followed by whatever intrudes into
the body, indicates premeditation - and intelligence.
Of great interest, the attack reveals a type of
euthanasia technique, for this method prevents the
attacked animal from suffering. This too revealed
intelligence.

Officia research fails to explain the following:- If a
dog or any known animal predator bites to kill a
victim, it must first exert pressure on both sides of
the head, neck or body. In the "Chupacabras" case
files, no trauma, abrasions, scratches, bites or
pressure have been observed by the examiners on the
opposite side of the wound, and as such, it becomes
obvious we are not dealing with an ordinary
predator/carnivore species known to science.

The wounds may be similar in appearance to bites
inflicted by dogs or baboons due to them being round
and small, but the similarity ends there. Government
officers and veterinarians who have followed the
'official line' or policy statements, have often
refused to reveal data about the wounds.
Theyconveniently ignore the fact that whatever
penetrates the animal, is at least three or four inches
long, and in a few cases, has been known to cauterize
the wall of the wound - apparently to prevent excessive
blood loss. No known animal species on Earth can do
this. Some of the wounds of this type appear on the
sides and belly of the victim. This penetration usually
cuts through the stomach - down to the liver,
apparently removing sections of the organ and absorbing
liquid from it. Such actions would require an incision
of upto five inches - a fact verified during necropsies
performed on the animals. The triangular wounds have
been noted to enter the body and hit the liver.

Whilst 'something' obviously penetrates the animal,
creating extensie trauma and injury, and leaving
strange material inside the tissue, no natural
inflammatory processes have been observed in the dead
animals tissues. This is extremely unnatural.

In most cases the victims lack rigor mortis and remain
flexible - days after their death. Incredibly in some
incidents, the blood which remained in the body would
not clot or coagulate for days following death. Several
larger holes or cuts have been discovered on some
animals. These consist of wounds which range from one
inch in diameter, to twelve inches in length. These
particular openings have been located in the neck,
chest, belly, and anal areas, and appear to have been
made with a surgeons scalpel. Clean-cut openings
through which certain organs are excised from the
bodies. Reproductive, sexual organs, anus, eyes and
other soft tissue have all been removed.

Another official explanation identifies the possibility
that someone involved with a religious or satanic sect
may be responsible. The sheer number of cases appears
to negate this potential. The killings occur everyday,
at all hours, and all over the island. The is no single
sect which has anything like the resources to conduct
such an act. Only the government could conduct such an
operation, but what possible reasons would they have to
do this?

THE CREATURE OBSERVED

Many of the killings are associated with strange
creatures we have called the Anomalous Biological
Entities [ABEs]. It is reportedly a cross between a
creature known as a 'Grey' alien humanoid, mainly
because the shape of its head and eyes, and what most
witnesses describe as the body of a bipedal, erect
dinosaur, but with no tail. Its head is oval in shape
and has an elongated jaw. Two elongated red eyes have
been reported, together with small holes in the nostril
area, a small slit-like mouth with fang-type teeth
protruding upwards and downwards from the jaw. Other
witnesses have seen small pointed-ears, but this
feature has not been seen by other witnesses. It
appears to have strong course hair all over its body;
and whilst most observers claim the hair is black, it
has the remarkable ability to change colours at will,
almost like a chamaleon.

In the dark, it will change to black or a deep brown
colour - in a sunlit area surrounded by vegetation, it
changes to green, green-grey, light brown or beige. The
creature has two small arms with a three-fingered
clawed hand and two strong hind legs, again with three
claws. This appears to enable it to run quickly and
leap over trees (!) - some witnesses allege over twenty
feet in a single bound. According to many observations,
the creature's legs look almost reptilian or goat-like
[see diagram page 26] (get the magazine - you MUST see
this picture). It has quill-like appendages running
down from its back, with what seem to be fleshy
membranes that change colour from blue to green, red to
purple etc. A number of witnesses claim the creature
flaps (at incredible speed) its tail and appendages,
allowing it to actually fly(!). The tail apparently is
used to guide its flight only - controlled mainly by
the winds - only occasionally seen to flap. First
reported in the town of Orocovis, the ABEs have been
sighted in the municipality of Canovanas and in many
areas of Puerto Rico. Its habits are both diurnal and
nocturnaa - as a matter of fact, it has been in broad
daylight by several witnesses. One such occasion was
witnessed by Madeline Tolentino and her neighbours in
the Campo Rico community (muncipality of Canovanas).
They all observed it walking down a street(!) at 3.00pm
in the afternoon. As they approached it, the creature
ran away, 'at a fantastic speed' and escaped.

The killings are a great loss to farmers, and the
situation has prompted the President of the Puerto Rico
House of Representatives Agricultural Commission, Mr
Juan E.[Kike] Lopez, to introduce a resolution asking
for an official investigation to clarify the situation.
(opposite is a translation of the document). {to
follow}

At this time, it has been brought to my attention that
at least two of these creatures have been captured(!)
by Government officers, both from the U.S. Federal
Government, and the Puertorican Government.

They were captured before the 6 and 7th of November,
one of them in the town of San Lorenzo, in the
centre-east of Puerto Rico; the other in the National
Carribean Rain Forest in El Yunque, to the east. Both
were alive and allegedly taken to the United States by
special personnel. Our government keeps denying the
facts, yet our people perceive they are being lied to.
The killings and encounters with these creatures
continue. It is probably due to the fact that the
incidents are associated with UFOs, that the government
continues to cover- up the facts.

UFO SIGHTINGS

Luminous oval and pyramidal shaped UFOs have been seen
in the vicinity where animals have been mutilated and
found to be without blood. These have been reported in
the towns of Cabo Rojo, Canovanas, Ponce and Naranjito
- distances apart. In Barrio Hato, the Rojas family
observed a UFO. A horse and several goats were found
mutilated shortly after the observation.

On 18 November 1995, a luminous disc some 40ft in
diameter with a row of dark 'windows' around its centre
rim, positioned itself over the antennae of Radio
Procer, a radio station located in the town of
Barranquitas, in the centre of Puerto Rico.
Simultaneously, the station's electronic equipment went
crazy, dials just went wild. Incredibly, an obsolete
piece of equipment from 1957 stored at the station,
turned itself on.

More astonishingly was the fact that the apparatus was
not plugged into any power source. This incident was
discussed in the media, as many residents in that area
saw the UFO as it hovered over the station. Sadly, the
TV, radio and news media suppressed the information on
several encounters - some by resients next to the radio
station. Channel 4 [WAPA TV] and Channel 11 [Tele 11]
covered the incident, but failed to mention the
presence of creatures during the sighting. This implies
a cover-up by the media.

A female witness also observed the creature in the
Canovanas municipality in the early days of November.
The ABE jumped or flew and entered a round luminous
object over her car.

GENETIC MANIPULATIONS

The reports suggest a link between the ABEs and UFOs or
alien phenomena. But we cannot discard the possibility
that the ABEs can also be the product of highly
sophisticated genetic manipulations by human agencies.
A Chinese-Russian scientist by the name of Dr. Tsian
Kanchen, has produced genetic manipulations which have
created new species of electronically-crossed plant and
animal organisms. Kanchen developed an electronic
system whereby he can pick up the bioenergetic field of
the DNA of living organisms and transfer it
electronically to other living organisms. By these
means he has created incredible new breeds of
ducks/chickens, with physical characteristics of both
species; goats/rabbits, and new breeds of plants such
as corn/wheat, peanut/sunflower seeds and
cucumber/watermelons. These are produced by linking the
genetic data of different living organisms contained in
their bioenergetic fields by means of ultra-high
frequencies biological linking. If the Russians have
created this technology, then without doubt the US and
other powers have too. Therefore, it is quite possible
that the "Chupacabras" or ABEs could have been
developed by humans.

EXPERIMENTS AND BLOOD TESTS

Puerto Rico has been the site for much experimentation
by the United States on the island's population and
territory for decades. Examples of this can be found in
the experimentation of Talidomida and anti-conceptive
drugs on our women, which caused the birth of many
malformed children in the 1950s. The lethal 'orange
agent' and other dioxine-based chemical agents were
tested in several places on the island, as well as
gamma radiation tests in our forests. Because of this
we can't exclude the "possibility" that someone may
well be experimenting with new and advanced genetic
products in our country. The ABEs could be the result -
and has gone awry...who knows? Perhaps the creatures
have escaped and that someone has lost control of the
situation?

We obtained samples of blood allegedly from one of the
creatures which was discovered after it jumped over a
fence and tripped. This occured at 9.00pm on 3 October
1995, in Campo Rico, in Canovanas. Two days before, a
policeman shot one of the creatures in Camp Rico which
fled the site. The blood could have well been from that
ABE.

We proceeded to take the blood sample to a medical
specialist and hopefully for DNA analysis. These tests
are currently underway in the U.S. but here are the
preliminary results.

SAMPLE 1. The original blood sample seemed to indicate
similar characteristics to that of human A-type blood,
with Rh factor. Further analysis was not conclusive on
this.

SAMPLE 2. Other analysis of the blood and matter
associated to it in the sample, showed a material
content comparable to feces with detritus, E.Coli
bacteria y worms, and other parasites. Vegetal cellular
material was also found. The content was comparable
with that found in cases involving an injured animal or
human with open wounds in the intestines, through which
a blood haemorhage was issuing. SAMPLE 3. The genetic
analysis so far has revealed that the blood is in no
way compatible with human blood nor with any animal
species known to science. The traces ratio of
magnesium, phosphorous, calcium and postassium are
incompatible with those of normal human blood, they are
much too high. The albumen/glouline [RG ratio] was also
incompatible. The ratios found do not allow the results
of the analyis to be compatible with those of any known
animal species.

At present, we can't place the sample with any earthly
organism. Therefore it could well be the product of a
highly sophisticated genetic manipulation, an organism
alien to our own enviroment or perhaps
extraterrestrial.

Other preliminary test on sub-types and genetic
analysis are as yet inconclusive, but the results so
far imply the samples originate from an unknown
organism.

DISINFORMATION AND CONCEALMENT

Obviously the alien potential would be difficult for
the U.S. and Puertorican authorities to explain, and
has led to a disinformation programme, through which
the government agencies disseminate the 'already
discredited' official explanations of feral dogs,
baboons, apes and other exotic animals or satanic cults
as those capable of these actions. This has been
strengthened by certain 'media jokers' who have
sensationalized and made light of the situation. In
many instances, ridicule has been used as a 'weapon'
against serious witnesses.

Other disinformation and debunking campaigns appeared
organised through UFO groups by the US intelligence
services. Serious investigators have had their
credibility affected. At least two groups disseminate
information through the media - spreading panic as they
tell of how the "Chupacabras" or ABEs belong to an
alien race who 'created the AIDS virus to destroy the
human race'. Another body spread fear by explaining the
"Chupacabras" belong to a voracious reptilian race of
creatures, alien in origin, who have started "devouring
the populace." For our part, we have denounced their
intent.

It is clear that someone apparently related to the
intelligence community intends to start a panic, whilst
at the same time, someone, for reasons unknown, is
trying to prevent this alarming situation from reaching
the serious parts of the media in the United States. On
the one side we have the bogus UFO investigation groups
created by US intelligence in Puerto Rico to disinform
and intoxicate the media with ridiculous stories. Also,
a crew from the US TV show 'Inside Edition', visited
Puerto Rico to report on the Chupacabras but it was
obvious to everyone here, that they were trying to
ridicule one of the witnesses. Jose Soto, Mayor of the
town of Canavanas, had a serious argument with the
producers, who also tried to ridicule him. Our
organisation was also subjected to silly questions.
Apparently they intend to air the show to discredit the
situation and our research.

This is not the first occasion this particular
programme has affected the credibility of our study
programme, many still remember the important UFO
sightings in Fyffe County, Alabama, 1990. The
television programme grossly ridiculed the witnesses
and case files. This should alert investigators in the
US. The events in Puerto Rico may provide good enough
reasons for discussion, and it is too important to be
kept hidden from the public.

SPECIAL UPDATE

Graham Sheppard, an experienced aeroplane pilot and a
close associate of author Timothy Good, spent several
days in January on the island to investigate the
Chupacabras and UFO sightings. His research has
concluded sightings are occuring both during the day
and night. Media interest is now more serious than at
any other time, and one newspaper based in Miami has
held talks with local police. Sheppard further learned
that armed police patrols are now looking for the
Chupacabras. The investigator has obtained other
interesting data about the creature. The creature
appears to be some form of reptile or insect hybrid,
and officials are not ruling out the possibility that
it may well be some type of dinosaur - possibly unknown
to man. Plaster casts of its footprints have been made
and reveal three claws, approximately the same size as
a large dog. There have been more attacks on
dogs(including a Great Dane) and rabbits. These occured
some twenty miles north of Cabo Roco in Maya Guez.
Sheppard also notes that reports of UFOs and the
creature are appearing daily in the local press. "The
authorities are in a jam." he commented. US researcher
and television producer, Linda Moulton Howe, is now on
the island investigating many of the reports. Meanwhile
Graham hopes to uncover more information from locals
and officials on the island.
