        Military Airplanes Follow a UFO
        -------------------------------
          by Agustin Munoz EFE Agency

Published in EL VOCERO, San Juan, Puerto Rico - August 30,1991
==============================================================


ADJUNTAS - Residents of Adjuntas say to be witness Wednesday
night of a spectacular presence in the sky when two military
airplanes followed a unidentified flying object. The townspeople
have made demands to the authorities and police of this place.

Tono Perez, resident of Barrio Garzas of Adjuntas said that at
7:00 PM he was on his way home when he noticed a light moved
rapidly, followed by two airplanes he couldn't describe.

Also two other brothers by the name of Belvis communicated with
a local radio station (WPJC) offering the same version.

Airplanes follow it
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But the most dramatic moment experienced by the neighbors of
Adjuntas happenned at 9:00 PM when they saw a group of airplanes
described as A-7 and F-14 following a lighted UFO, which they
claim flies every night over the town. The spectacular sight
was visioned more clearly in Barrio Yayales-Guilarte, as so
explained by Angel Luis Torres, owner of the residence where
they extablished a UFO observatory.

Torres said that three of the airplanes kept flying continuosly
around the area of Guilarte and then continued the pursuit
around the area of Sector Las Minas, when eight other military
airplanes were returning from (los barrios) Juan Gonzalez and
Pellejas located at the minera zone of Adjuntas.


Incredible for the town
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"It was incredible what the towns people saw last night; now
nobody could say that only a few of us saw the flying objects",
expressed Edwin Plaza, a young publisher that participated in
the investigation of UFO's, that was being made by some groups.

This week the Mayor of Adjuntas, Rigoberto Ramos said that
accompanied by his wife,Blanca and the president of the Municipal
Assembly, Cesar Nieves, watched the flying objects over the skies
of this town.

===============================================================


Lajas- What could be confirmation of the experience lived last
Thursday by the publisher and ten other people who claim they saw
strange lights coming out of the Laguna Cartagena, thirty other
people witnessed the same on Sunday morning. The investigator of
UFO's, Wilson Sosa explained that a blue, red,orange triangle
of lights appeared in the water, lighting up the place.

The extraordinary spectacular started to be seen at 11:00 PM
Saturday until 3:00 AM. In the moment when the incident occurred,
Sosa said that he was in company of the UFO investigators, Jose
Luis Pacheco, Edgar Pacheco, German Castillo, Sonia Acevedo and
Rosy Castillo.

Also in the area of Laguna Cartagena was Hito Ramirez, his wife
Marisol, two of his sons and fourteen other people with them.
Also, two police agents witnessed the event but asked not to be
identified, Sosa said. "This confirms what was published by 
EL VOCERO", said Sosa.

Sosa discarded that the lights coming from the lake were reflected
by other lights or luminized fish. "Definately something strange was
there and the authorities have the responsibility to investigate
what was seen", said the investigator.
 
This caused the attention of people visiting the surrounding area
of the lake to laugh and make jokes about this. "This is something
very serious that should not be taken lightly", said Sosa.

JORGE MARTIN:

Puerto Rican journalist and editor, Enigma magazine, on "The
Puerto Rico UFO Story", Assistant State Director/MUFON for
Puerto Rico.

Martin presented a detailed, carefully documented account of
a growing UFO phenomenon in southwest Puerto Rico.  Since
April 1967, when a giant UFO was sighted over Ramsey AFB,
UFO activity and government involvement in an increasingly
bizarre series of events has occurred.  It may have climaxed
on the night of December 28, 1988, when a witness took
several photographs of F-14's circling a large UFO.  More
than 60 witnesses from at least three locations watched the
incident in which the F-14's were seen to merge with the UFO
never to be seen again.  This incident was described in the
January, 1990, "MUFON UFO Journal".

The Puerto Rico saga had intensified on May 31, 1987, when
an explosion and tremors, computed to have been 80,000 feet
below Laguna Cartagena, occurred.  Crevasses appeared and
black smoke was reported coming from them.  Further,
witnesses reported people in contamination suits arrived on
the scene and took samples, but the government denies any of
this happened.

Many witnesses described a huge ball of red light falling
slowly into the lagoon at 10:30 pm the night before the
explosion.  For two or three days after the explosion many
witnesses reported huge UFOs in the area.

The area, which had long been contaminated to the point
little wildlife existed, was put off limits to the public
and later acquired by the government as a wildlife
management area.

The Laguna Cartagena area and a nearby small island off the
coast have been a hotbed of UFO activity, with many
sightings and photographs taken by pilots, fishermen,
tourists and others.  UFOs have been seen entering and
rising out of the water.  Several aircraft and pilots have
disappeared under strange circumstances.  Analysis of the
photographs of the UFO with the F-14's shows no evidence of
fraud, but the owner of the negatives has thus far refused
to release them for scientific examination fearing
government confiscation.  The government is expanding it's
holdings around Laguna Cartagena, allegedly to put up a
Voice of America radio station there.  Also, since these
incidents began, the Navy has kept a carrier task force in
the immediate area and six AWAC planes are kept in the area.

       OPEN TO THE PUBLIC THE LAGUNA CARTAGENA
       ---------------------------------------
              WITH OR WITHOUT UFO's


>From EL VOCERO, San Juan, Puerto Rico, August 5, 1991

(AP) LAJAS - The Laguna Cartagena, National Refuge of Birds
between Lajas and Cabo Rojo, will now be open to the public.
The Federal Agency of game hunting, fishing and wild life has
made the announcement.

The announcement from the Agency of game hunting, fishing and
wild life was made known to the Interior Department of the
United States when residents of the area alleged they saw
unidentified flying objects in that place. They went to the
police to complain.

A lot of people (half a score or 10) went that night to the
coast near La Pargera and Maguayo to observe objects they allege
are UFO's. The police don't confirm or refute those versions.


The Public is invited
---------------------

The Doctor Fred C. Schaffner, Biologist, member of the Federal
Agency, invited the public to visit the immense Laguna of more
than 400 cords (cuerdas per original article) of swamp terrain
and sweet water. It is part of the National Refuge of Birds with
more than 800 cords (cuerdas per original article) of extension.

The Government of Puerto Rico, under the administration of 
Governor Rafael Hernandez Colon, acquired the Laguna, that until
1950 served as a refuge for aquatic birds, but in the last decades
was affected by the expanded agriculture.

In the press communique, Schaffner said there's still a collection
of interesting wild life, and they are trying to restore the place
to natural habitat of a lot of species.      

But, the public interested in visiting the Laguna Cartagena must be
prepared to confront rustic conditions.

The following message is from Carlos Steffens.  Carlos will post any new
information as it arrives:

Date: 09-22-91  12:27
From: Carlos Steffens
To:   John Komar
Subj: Latin UFOs

     The island is going crazy again!  Multiple sighting of UFOs and
abduction reports.  All this is taking place in the SW part of the
island.  If you remember the photos Jorge showed you, that is the area
where they were taken at.  There have been 2 recent talk shows
regarding the subject and Jorge Martin appeared in both.  Maybe we
should get in contact with him.

     A particaular case involves a man from NY who came to live to PR,
in the SW part of the island (as related to me by my grandmother, last
night).  A group of civil engineers were traveling in a car when they
came upon this man lying on the road.  He was shivering.  He asked for
a doctor and for a priest (she didn't go into details).  This was his
story:

     He was standing in front of his house, during the day, when he
was taken away by these aliens (she provided no details about how he
was taken away).  He said he was examined by these people and that
they gave him some messages.  Among them, were the following:

  1)  that they come in peace;
  2)  to note how they always appear near areas of "clear water".
  (Clear water is a literal translation from Spanish.  Could also
  mean, clean water or fresh water.)

     The man was found pretty far from where he was abducted.  The
media has avoided any mention of cow mutilations in that area,
although I don't know if that subject was covered in the talk shows.
These events have taken place in the last few weeks.

     My grandfather, who is a complete skeptic, told me that some
people have tried to investigate the area but have been hindered by
the US federal government.  Seems they have control of all those
lands.  There are also reports that engineers belonging to NASA are
now visiting the island and working in that restricted part.

     It is hard to emphasize the amount of sightings and their
frequency.  They are becoming very, very common.  However, it should
be noted that nobody has come out publicly with any photos.  There are
burned circles in the grass, like those that are said made by UFOs,
but no photos of the UFOs themselves (it is these rings in the grass
that make me think cow mutilations have happened but have not been
reported).

That is about all the information I have right now.

     Hi Greg, I'm from PR but cannot offer to many comments, unfortunately. 
The 2 F-14s that disappeared:  I first heard of this when Jorge Martin came to
visit me while in PR.  Seems this triangular-shaped UFO had been making
fly-bys over this 2 towns in PR.  One night, two f-14 appeared and started
harrasing the UFO, i.e. trying to intercept its path, sharp turns in front of
it, etc.  One F-14 got real close to the side of the UFO and disappeared in
mid-air, no explosion was seen or heard, no crash site ever found.  Later, the
other F-14 came at a high speed towards the back of the UFO:

                    ^
                    |           heading
                   /\
                  /  \          UFO
                 ~~~~~~

                   $            F-14
                   ^
     When the F-14 got to the point were it should have collided with the UFO,
it too disappeared.  The UFO then "split in half", the left half heading one
way, the right half heading the opposite way.  According to Martin, somebody
called the base to inquire about the incident and was told that the FAA was
handling the investigation.  The curious thing is that the FAA has publicly
denied the existence of UFOs or their involvement in any such investigations.

     About the abduction you mentioned:  I read the testimony of a man who was
abducted in a similar way but no photos were mentioned.  I heard of another
abduction where the abductee was found in pretty bad shape but no details.  If
I see Jorge this Christmas, I'll ask him.

     Regarding El Yunque:  sightings seem to be very common in the area around
the tropical forest.  There are also a few caverns and huge sinkholes in it. 
Flights over El Yunque have also come upon strange sightings.  I saw a photo
taken from the cockpit of a Cessna-type craft while flying over El Yunque. 
The subject photographed was moving so fast that it looked as a continuous
light.  The person who took the photograph says they noticed that thing flying
below them, very close to the tree tops, and that it suddenly disappeared into
the tree tops.

     Forest rangers have reported both UFO and alien being encounters.  Rumor
has it that some rangers have been abducted and have thus requested
reassignment (I wonder why) and that there is an unspoken truce.  By this I
mean that when rangers come upon aliens they keep on going w/o investigating. 
According, to Martin, the aliens seen in this part are not the typical greys
which are seen in the SW part of the island.

     I wish I had more to tell or more evidence to show but it has been over a
year since I spoke with Jorge Martin and haven't been to PR in about the same
amount of time.

From: Carlos Steffens

     Well, I don't know for sure so I would say no.  I'm not sure they were
real happenings or just dreams.  However, my mother has had two very
interesting encounters.  We (my brother and I) were very young when the first
one happened.  At that time, my brother had an ear infection and this
particular night he was crying because of the pain.

     My mother got up from her bed and went to the kitchen to get the
medicine and realized there was a loud huming sound outside.  She looked out
the window and saw three UFOs hovering a few feet above the posts that carry
the electric wires.  After a few seconds she realized what they were and ran
to our room.  She locked herself there with us until morning broke, when she
went to our grandmother's.  A few days later, there was a news article that
the same night she saw them, there were a lot of reports from all over the
island of UFO sightings.

     She describes what she saw as taking a cup and putting it upside down in
a saucer.  I don't remember if she said they were red or any other color.
However, she did say they were in a "stair" formation:
                             @   - > UFO
                           @
                         @
                         T  - post
                         I  /
     The second one happened less than five years ago.  She was coming from a
wedding in the SW part of the island, reknown for its consistent amount of
UFO sightings and abductions.

     She was driving and one of her aunts was with her.  They were coming
through the expressway when all of a sudden she realized she wasn't in the
expressway anymore.  She was in a road that was used about 20 years ago, when
the expressway didn't exist.  Also she was at the beginning of the road
instead of where she should have been had she started there.  (What I mean
is, she was already an hour into the trip and suddenly she was back in
another road and just at the point she would be if she had been driving for
only 30 min. instead of an hour).

     The most curious thing happened when they looked at their watches.  An
hour and 45 min. had gone by but as far as they knew, they had only been
driving for an hour.  Neither of them can account for those 45 min. nor how
they went from the highway all the way back to that old road.  I suggested
hypnosis but she refuses saying that it might be something related to what
she saw when we were young and that terrified her too much.  She doesn't want
to know what happened.

Don Allen put in a UFO encounter by Carlos S. stating the people
experienced strange passages of time, or not feeling time loss, etc.

This reminds me of the possibility that it may be some type of 
time warp (or interference/adjustment on time as we know it).
In the past, I myself have experienced very strange experiences
dealing with time...such as feeling you have slept the entire night,
then waking up at midnight, and someone else going through total 
disorientation at the same time (sleepwalking, trying to reach the
door at another location in the room, etc).  When I questioned 
all this in a trance channel reading I had once, it was explained
that this was a time warp used or created (I don't remember exact
words) by the lower astral to harm people, etc.

So it is my suspicion that some how, some way, time CAN be altered
(some type of inter-dimensional thing); and perhaps this is what
these people went through when they had their Puerto Rican UFO
Encounter.

There is so much we do not know about and/or understand.
