Articles and Reports

Puerto Rico: Laboratory of the Extraterrestrials?

This extensive article by Magdalena Del Amo-Freixedo explores the numerous UFO phenomena reported in Puerto Rico. It revisits earlier reports of 'Yetis' and 'large-headed dwarfs' in the Yunque mountains and mentions a photo of a bird with fangs. The article highlights that strange events are not confined to specific regions but occur throughout the island, including the capital, San Juan. A central case involves a middle-aged man from San Lorenzo who claims to have been abducted by aliens. He describes being taken aboard a craft and returned to a different location. The area around Adjuntas, where he was found, has a history of paranormal phenomena, including a reported apparition of Christ.

The Vampire of Moca

In the Moca area, a series of UFO waves were accompanied by animal mutilations. The animals were found drained of blood, with wounds suggesting surgical precision rather than animal attacks. The Puerto Rican Civil Defense Department launched an investigation, led by Colonel José A. M. Nolla, who attributed the deaths to wild dogs, a conclusion met with skepticism by the author.

Sophisticated Mutilation of Geese

Another case involves a wealthy gentleman from Isla Verde whose geese were found dead and drained of blood. Investigators arrived with sophisticated equipment, including Geiger counters, and wore white protective suits. A university in the US requested one of the dead geese for study.

UFO Radiation: Danger of Death

Following the goose mutilation incident, a witness was advised to leave his home due to potential radiation. His dog later died of a rapidly developing cancer, suspected to be caused by radiation exposure at the site. Autopsies of the geese revealed two puncture wounds that destroyed internal organs without significant bleeding.

Kidnapping in Adjuntas

This section details the abduction experience of a man from San Lorenzo. He describes being taken aboard a craft, experiencing a strange journey, and finding himself in a metallic room with alien beings. He describes their appearance: shorter than humans, with large, protruding eyes, thin mouths, and greyish-yellow skin. They communicated telepathically and fitted him with special clothing. He was taken to a place that appeared to be made of metal and saw other humans there. He also describes a strange incident where an alien examined his watch, causing the crucifix image on it to glow brighter. He later found a scar on his wrist.

Statements from Eyewitnesses

Two men, Rubén Pérez Vélez and Juan Caballero, found the abductee in a flattened grass circle. They describe the strange behavior of horses and the sudden appearance of the man in the circle. They noted that the man was completely clean despite being found in a muddy area. They took him to the police station.

An Invisible UFO

At the police station, officers noted the abductee's distressed state. Police Constable López stated that the man's story was not surprising given the UFO activity in the area. Police Assistant Rivera reported that a Geiger counter registered a reading when passed over the abductee's watch.

Response from President Bush

In response to the numerous UFO sightings in Adjuntas, the mayor sent a letter to President George Bush requesting explanations. The Puerto Rican Civil Defence Agency issued an 'Investigative Directive' concerning 'Unidentified Objects', signed by Colonel José A. M. Nolla, which is described as 'secret'. The article suggests that the US government is interested in UFO activity in Puerto Rico.

Lights over Cartagena Lake

Reports of lights over Cartagena Lake led to an official investigation by the Civil Defence Department, which attempted to explain the lights as reflections from nearby cities. However, this experiment failed, as the lights were not replicated, and local tradition indicated the lights predated electricity.

Encounters with the 'Small Men'

This section discusses encounters with 'small men' (Hombrecitos) who have been seen in populated areas, including inside houses. A case involving a former policeman, Luis Torres, his wife Margarita, and friends describes seeing two such beings near El Yunque. The beings were described as about 1.25 meters tall, slender, wearing tight-fitting suits, and speaking an unintelligible language.

Finnish Forest Workers See UFO and Humanoid

This article recounts an incident from February 5, 1971, in Kangaskylä, Kinnula, Finland. Two forest workers, Pekka Aliranta and Esko Sneck, witnessed a metallic disk-shaped UFO land. A small, green-clad humanoid emerged and approached Aliranta. Aliranta managed to grab the creature's boot, sustaining burns. The humanoid re-entered the craft, which then ascended and disappeared. The craft left marks in the snow, and the humanoid left footprints. The report notes similarities to the Imjärvi case from 1970.

More Reports from Spain and Spanish America

This section compiles several reports from Spain and Spanish America:

• Spain: Pilots from Iberia and Avianco report sightings of metallic spheres and other unidentified flying objects. Captain Carlos García Rodrigo describes a metallic sphere with a black mark. Captain Ignacio Lorenzo recounts an encounter with a large, glowing, globe-like object that communicated via light signals. Captains Carlos García Bermúdez and Antonio Pérez report their plane entering a bright cloud that caused systems to malfunction and the plane to lose time.
• Mexico: Residents of Tula, Hidalgo, claim to have seen a UFO fleet. Antonio Pulido Obregón filmed two UFOs. Witnesses describe two dwarfs, about 1.25 meters tall, signaling with red light. NASA agents were reportedly in the area collecting information.

UFO Photographed

Amauri Rivera, a witness who claims to have been abducted, reports seeing a large, round object accompanied by a plane. He managed to photograph the object using a cousin's camera. He later had further contact with an entity named 'Amaurón', who conveyed a message about an impending catastrophe caused by earthquakes and nuclear power plant explosions.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of UFO sightings, alien encounters, abductions, and potential government cover-ups. The editorial stance appears to be one of open investigation and reporting of these phenomena, encouraging reader contributions and highlighting the need for transparency. There is a recurring motif of 'small men' or humanoids, often described similarly across different cases. The magazine also suggests that Puerto Rico is a focal point for extraterrestrial activity and experimentation. The issue concludes with a note about the Arecibo radio telescope and speculates whether extraterrestrial activity might be avoiding the area due to scientific presence.

Title: Flying Saucer Review
Issue: Vol. 39, No. 2
Date: Summer, 1994
Publisher: UFO-Information
Country: United Kingdom
Language: English

This issue of Flying Saucer Review, published by UFO-Information, focuses on UFO phenomena with a significant portion dedicated to promoting a collection of "9 timmar UFO-Video" (9 hours of UFO Video) from a 1994 Swedish UFO seminar. The magazine presents a compilation of various sightings and incidents from different countries and time periods.

UFO Sightings in Mexico (May-June 1994)

The issue details a series of UFO sightings reported in Mexico, primarily in the state of Hidalgo, during May and June 1994. These accounts are presented chronologically based on data compiled from approximately 20 witnesses.

• May 12: Three oblong, silver-shining craft were seen in Huejutla, Hidalgo.
• May 15: An oval-shaped craft emitting light flashes was sighted in Real del Monte.
• May 22: A small craft in Real del Monte emitted a red light beam, with no reported damage.
• May 29: A 'parade' of 12 oblong craft with a metallic sheen was observed, similar to sightings from April.
• June 2: The first sighting over the Colossus in Tula occurred, with one alleged UFO descending to about 15 meters above the statues' heads.
• June 4: The first nighttime sighting in Pachuca involved approximately 15 triangular lights, reminiscent of 1990 Belgian sightings.
• June 8: A 24-second video film of a UFO was shown on Channel 3 in Pachuca, generating numerous calls to the station.
• June 20: Three oval craft were observed simultaneously with a solar halo over Hidalgo, eleven days after a similar phenomenon over Mexico City.
• June 25: Six unidentified craft were seen in the sky over Huejutla, Hidalgo.
• July 2: A fleet of 10 to 15 triangular lights was observed in Jasso, Tepeji, Tula, and other towns in Hidalgo.
• July 10: A very fast, oval-shaped craft appeared over Tepeji, observed by numerous motorists. Later that day, a similar UFO was seen over Mexico City.

Researchers from Mexico City and Monterrey investigated these reports but found no concrete leads. The Tecno 24 group from Monterrey planned further investigations.

Chilean UFO Incident

A report from Santiago de Chile (EFE) details an encounter by a Chilean agronomist who claimed to have seen UFOs twice. The second time, the craft allegedly left behind a thick, light metal plate, approximately 30x45 cm, with unknown inscriptions. The agronomist, who wished to remain anonymous, sought information from UFO organizations in the USA. He described a bright light around 02:00 in August 1990, followed by a silent, slow descent of a strange machine. Upon landing, the machine rose rapidly. The following day, the surrounding vegetation was found to be dried within a 100-meter radius. The agronomist's family also witnessed a similar event on August 30th. During this second encounter, their electricity and telephone were cut off, and their pick-up truck's engine died. They found the inscribed metal plate at the landing site.

"Flying Jojo" Sighting (December 1971)

This section recounts an incident reported in the Grand Rapids Press on December 5, 1971, concerning a sighting in Walker, Michigan. Steve Loosenort, a 17-year-old, reported seeing a large, "jojo-shaped" object described as a "big red ball with blue and white lights" following a plane. Loosenort and four friends in his car witnessed the object. Initially, they only saw the plane, but then the UFO reportedly moved back towards them. The object hovered about 180 cm above a field. Loosenort drove closer, and as he turned off his headlights and exited the car, the object rapidly ascended and disappeared. Police were called to the scene, and while some officers were open to the possibility, Loosenort's mother remained perplexed.

Chased by a UFO (February 1975)

A brief report from BUFORA Journal (Sept.-Oct. 1975) describes an incident on February 20, 1975, where a young farmer's wife was driving home at 01:45. A brightly lit, bowl-shaped object appeared behind her car and followed her for 15-20 minutes. She accelerated, but the UFO seemed to close in and move erratically from side to side. It disappeared when she turned off the main road.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently presents accounts of UFO sightings and encounters, emphasizing witness testimony and physical evidence where available. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into the UFO phenomenon, encouraging documentation and investigation. The promotion of the "9 timmar UFO-Video" collection suggests a focus on providing visual evidence and diverse perspectives on UFO experiences, particularly from Sweden. The inclusion of incidents from Mexico, Chile, and the United States broadens the scope of reported phenomena.
