³ IS THERE AN ALIEN BASE UNDER PUERTO RICO? ³
³ ³
³by Terrell W. Ecker and Anne Ecker ³
³ ³
³From Taino Indian Legends of witches flying out of the ³
³mountains to modern reports of disc-shaped objects slipping ³
³in and out of the Caribbean, Puerto Rico has a rich history ³
³of ongoing paranormal activity. Recently the pace and ³
³diversity of this activity has increased until it seems that³
³remarkable events have become almost commonplace. ³
³ ³
³The "UFOlogist" went to Puerto Rico, and with the generous ³
³help of noted UFO investigator and "Enigma!" magazine editor³
³Jorge Martin, met and interviewed witnesses to some of the ³
³recent unusual events on the island. ³
³ ³
³According to Martin, the recent upsurge in sightings began ³
³with an underground explosion near Lajas in the southwest [ ³
³part of the island ]. ³
³ ³
³Near Lajas is Laguna Cartagena, a small body of water of ³
³uncertain depth, polluted from agriculture runoff and ³
³illegal sewage drainage. The lagoon is unusual in several ³
³aspects, not the least of which is its shape: from the air, ³
³the grassy border of the lagoon looks uncannily like a map ³
³of the United States. The lagoon is also known for its large³
³and unusual waterfowl population, some species of which are ³
³unique to the lagoon. ³
³ ³
³For years, people living near the lagoon have witnessed ³
³balls of light coming and going from the water. Then, in ³
³late May 1987, the phenomenon began to change. ³
³ ³
³At 10:30 p.m. on May 30, a large red buzzing ball of light ³
³was seen descending into the lagoon. At 2:00 a.m. May 31, ³
³people in the area were awakened by a blinding white light. ³
³ ³
³Those brave enough to go to their windows saw a huge disc ³
³shaped object with brilliant lights circle slowly over the ³
³water, as if looking for something. ³
³ ³
³The following afternoon at 1:55 a huge underground ³
³explosion followed by a tremor shook the area. Cracks opened³
³in the ground and cobalt blue smoke issued from them. ³
³ ³
³The first reports from seismic stations placed the ³
³epicenter of the earthquake directly under Laguna Cartagena ³
³at a depth of 8100 feet. Later, news reports stated that ³
³the epicenter had been in the ocean between the southwest ³
³coast and Mona Island, in contradiction to what the official³
³seismic report had said. ³
³ ³
³As if an earthquake followed by blue smoke wasn't jarring ³
³enough, residents whose houses bordered the lagoon were ³
³forcibly evacuated by members of the U.S. military in grey ³
³HUMVEEs and tan four-wheel drive vehicles sporting radarlike³
³rotating antennae on their tops. ³
³ ³
³As they were being herded away from their homes, residents ³
³saw men in what appeared to be decontamination suits ³
³sweeping the ground with long-handled devices reminiscent of³
³metal detectors and taking samples of water, plants, mud ³
³and grass. ³
³ ³
³The next day many reported seeing a helicopter with a long ³
³chain descending from it. On the chain was a large ball ³
³which appeared to be some sort of instrument package. This ³
³was slowly lowered into the lagoon. ³
³ ³
³At 10:30 the following evening -- and for three consecutive ³
³evenings thereafter at exactly the same time -- witnesses in³
³the area saw a strange flying dumbbell come in from over the³
³sea and hover over the lagoon. It was described as a ³
³metallic cylinder with large balls of greenish-white light ³
³on the ends and a beaconlike red and blue light on its ³
³underside. ³
³ ³
³In the days following the explosion, reports of UFO ³
³activity in the area increased dramatically, but possibly ³
³the most interesting thing reported to be flying over the ³
³lagoon during that time was an airplane the size of a ³
³commercial passenger jet which made a low pass over the ³
³lagoon as if giving a tour to its putative passengers. ³
³ ³
³Thus began the most recent -- and active -- era of UFO ³
³events in Puerto Rico. Subsequent days were filled with ³
³reports of multiple sightings of UFOs, bigfoot-like ³
³creatures, landings, entity encounters, abductions, grass ³
³circles, animal mutilations and Marian apparitions. ³
³ ³
³With the entire range of UFO activity represented and ³
³flourishing on the island, Puerto Rico seems to be a ³
³microcosm of the worldwide UFO phenomenon. Why? The island ³
³is characterized by diversity geologically, ³
³climatologically, demographically. It has long been a land ³
³of social experiments, from its status as the first United ³
³States Commonwealth to the "Operation Bootstrap" of poet/ ³
³president Luis Munoz Marin. ³
³ ³
³Perhaps it's the scene of another experiment, controlled ³
³contact with an alien culture. Or perhaps it's the scene of ³
³intentional illusion to that effect. Whatever is going on ³
³in Puerto Rico involving UFOs and the US government -- and ³
³make no mistake, something _is_ going on there -- it bears ³
³scrutiny. ³
