The Bloodsucking "Chupacabras" of Puerto Rico

Since December, 1994, the Caribbbean Island of Puerto Rico has been the site of a heavy wave of UFO sightings, as well as of numerous apparitions of a weird livestock killing creature that has been dubbed by the sensational media in the island with the name "Chupacabras" {the Goatsucker}.

The reason for such a name? This creature apparently kills animals, ranging from cows to sheep, to goats, to rabbits, hens, ducks, dogs, cats, etc., and after filling them, seems to extract blood and other fluids from it's victims.

The creature has left a trail of thousands of dead animals throughout the island and the communities are afraid and alarmed. As all this transpires, the island authorities keep indicating the strange killings are due to attacks from packs of stray dogs, baboons or exotic animals illegally introduced in the island's territory. The director of the Puerto Rico Department of Agriculture Veterinary Services Division, Mr. 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 has also stated that no other unusual features have been observed in the dead animals examined by his division, such as loss of blood.

Another veterinarian, Angel Luis Santana, of the private Gardenville Veterinary Clinic, in San Juan, stated that "It could be a human being who belongs to a religious sect, even another animal. It could be someone who wants to make fun of the Puerto Rican people." All of the above official "explanations: to the enigma, given by the authorities, have failed to explain away the deaths and the incidents in which the creatures have been observed by serious, reliable witnesses, all over Puerto Rico...and the facts tell a different story.

These Are The Facts:

1. The victims appear with many small perfect circular holes of about one quarter of an inch to half an inch in diameter arranged in pairs or in triangular fashion, that penetrate deep into the necks or right lower jaw of the victims. These small wounds have been examined by qualified veterinarians, such a Doctor Carlos Soto, who explains that they penetrate, as a regular pattern in many of the cases, into the head of the animal, one of the holes going all the way through the right jaw bone, muscles and tissues and up to the brain, more specifically to the cerebellum, puncturing it and immediately killing the animal.

This regularity or pattern in the type of wounds, and the path followed by whatever intrudes into the body, indicates premeditaiton...and intelligence. Also, this detail seems to imply an euthanasia technique that prevents the animals attacked from suffering during the killing...and as we all know, this also implies intelligence in the attacker. There's something else the official "explanations: do not explain; if a dog or any known predator animal bites to kill a victim, it has to exert pressure on both sides of the head, neck or body. In the cases blamed on the "Chupacabras," no traumas, abrasions, scratches, bites or pressure have been observed by the examiners on the opposite side of the wounds. Because of this, it is obvious that we are not dealing with any ordinary predator/carnivore animal species know to science.

2. The small wounds may be similar in appearance to bites inflicted by dogs or "baboons," due to their being round and small, but all similarity ends there. The government officers and veterinarians willing to follow the official "explanations" given by them, do not give the real details pertaining to the wounds. They forget to inform us, conveniently, that whatever enters the animal's body has a length of about, at least, three to four inches long.. and in some occasions seems to cauterize the walls 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 also on the sides and bellies of the victims, and they usually penetrate into the animal, cutting through the stomach, continuing down to the liver, affecting it and taking parts of it, as well as "absorbing" liquids from it. This requires a length of at least 3, 4 or five inches, as has been verified on the animals. Also, the already mentioned triangular pattern of wounds has been observed going into the body and penetrating the liver of the victims.

3. Even though "something" intrudes and penetrates into the animals, creating extensive trauma and injuries in them, also leaving strange materials in the tissues, no natural inflammatory processes have been observed in the dead animals tissues. This is totally unnatural.

4. In most cases the victims lack rigor mortis, and remain flexible, even for days after their death. Also, incredibly, in several of these cases, the blood still remaining in the dead animals wouldn't clot or coagulate, This weird detail lasts for days too.

5. Several bigger holes or cuts are found on the victims body. These consist of holes that range from an inch in diameter up to 12 inches. These openings are usually located in the neck, chest, belly and anal area of the animals killed, and look as if made with a surgeon's scalpel. Clean cut openings are found through which organs are excised from the bodies. The organs tend to be the liver, the reproductive and sexual organs, the anus, eyes and other soft tissues.

As for the other official "explanation," that mentioned the possibility of someone involved with religious or satanic sects who may be doing the killings, the number of cases is too numerous for this to be the explanation behind it all. These killings are happening everyday, at all hours, all over the island, and no single sect has the resources needed to finance such an operative. There is only one sector in Puerto Rico that can afford these actions, the government, but what reasons would the government have to do this?

The Creature Observed

Most of the killings are attributed to strange creatures we have called an Anomalous Biological Entities {ABE's}. It looks like a cross between a "grey alien humanoid {because of the shape of its head and eyes} and what most witnesses describe as "the body of a biped, erect dinosaur, but with no tail." Its head is oval in shape, with an elongated jaw. It has two big elongated red eyes, small holes for a nostril and a small slit-like mouth with fangs protruding upwards and downwards from it. Some witnesses mention it has small pointy ears, but most have stated it has none. It has a strong, coarse hair all over its body. This hair is black, but this creature has the ability to change colors at will, like a chameleon. If it is in the dark it changes to a dark color, black or dark brown. If in a sunlit area with vegetation, it changes to green, green-gray, light brown or beige.

The creature has two small arms with three fingered-clawed hands and two strong hind legs with three claws, which enable it to run at a fast speed and to leap over trees and over more than 20 ft. in a single bound. According to witnesses, the creature's legs look reptilian or goatlike. Also, it has quill-like appendages running down from its back, with what seem to be fleshy membranes that change colors from blue to green, to red to purple, etcetera. Some witnesses have described seeing the creature flap these quill-membrane-like appendages at an incredible speed, and this allows it to fly. Even though it has what seems to be a pair of membrane-like wings, these are used by the anomalous biological entity to glide and guide itself while flying. The creature seldom flaps these "wings."
