- SANTIAGO (EFE)- Chilean space
researchers announced yesterday that they will ask their government, through
the Ministry of Defense, to investigate the alleged responsibility of NASA,
the United States space agency, in the manifestations of the so-called
"Chupacabras" which has caused the deaths of hundreds of domestic
animals in this country.
-
- The "ufologists" pointed out in their press
conference that accounts indicating NASA scientists lost control of at
least three "genetic experiments" in Chile are growing. Said
specimens would be the ones that massacred a variety of animal species
in several regions.
-
- A number of animals turned up dead for the first time
in Calama and its environs last April, rendered completely bloodless and
without having been devoured by the enigmatic predator. Similar killings
later took place throughout other southern locations in the country.
-
- "Many persons agree that they have seen a kind of
ape or mandrill with human features but with very large eyes, who moves
very quickly and in a zigzagging manner," stated Cristian Riffo, director
of the "Ovnivision" group. According to this researcher, an animal
of these characteristics was hunted by the chilean military in the vicinity
of the Radomiro Tomic mine near Calama, an operation in which one soldier
allegedly died.
-
- For this reason, Riffo stated that they would visit the
Ministry of Defense tomorrow to demand a clarification of these accounts.
They will also ask the Army to explain if accounts of the death of a soldier
duirng the capture of one of these genetic monsters is indeed true.

- -------
-
- Residents of Calama, a city in northern Chile, claim
that NASA took custody of the three Chupacabras reportedly captured by
the Chilean army two weeks ago.
-
- According to reports obtained by Marcial Campos Maza,
a reporter for Chile's EFE new service, Chilean troops captured the three
creatures in the desert near the Radomiro Tomic mine north of Calama. During
the pursuit, a firefight ensued in which one Chilean soldier was reportedly
killed.
-
- The three creatures--a male, a female and a child-- were
held at the regiment's barracks for several hours. Then a NASA team reportedly
arrived by helicopter to take custody of them.
-
- Some residents of Calama, however, claimed that that
the Chupacabras were "creations" of NASA.
-
- "'The gringos had at least three genetic experiments
run away from them, and they've only been able to capture two of them,'
said Dagoberto Corante, a Chilean architect."
-
- "Residents of Calama and nearby communities continued
to blame NASA, the U.S. space agency, for the apparitions and attacks of
the mysterious Chupacabras, which has killed man farm animals in the region
and in other parts of Chile. Several dozen goats, pigs, chickens, rabbits
and other animals turned up dead in northern Calama and its environs during
late April (2000)--their bodies completely exsanguinated (drained of blood--J.T.)
and un-devoured by the mysterious predator."
-
- Stories continue to spread of "the Chupacabras'
alleged destructiveness and their ability of leaping 3-meter (10-foot)
tall walls, its ability to walk unmolested among dogs, while police and
volunteers who have set out after it find only scattered footprints in
this area of desert terrain 1,500 kilometers (900 miles) north of"
Santiago de Chile, the national capital.
-
- "According to Dagoberto Corante, one such creature
was captured by elements of a local (army) regiment in an operation that
resulted in the death of one soldier, but the (Chilean) military have allegedly
refused to discuss the matter."
-
- "'It was said that the captured animal was kept
all day at at the regiment's barracks until NASA experts arrived to take
it away.' said Corante, who is well-known and respected in the area where
the Chupacabra feasted on blood and spread fear among the population."
-
- "'On the day that the event transpired, the military
even closed the (Calama) airport for several hours to enable the landing
of a helicopter conveying American scientists,' he added, 'although no
one is quite sure why they had to close down an airport in order for a
helicopter to function--those are devices able to land anywhere, and the
fact has given rise to much speculation.'"
-
- (Editor's Comment: Obviously the "secret team"
wanted to arrive unobserved. Helicopters landing in public always draw
a crowd.)
-
- "Mario Ramos, a respected resident of San Pedro
de Atacama, where he owns a butcher shop, largely agrees with Corante's
story and concerns, and while he doesn't care to discuss the subject, agreed
that a soldier had indeed perished during the Chupacabra's capture."
-
- Scott Corrales, author of the books Chupacabras and Other
Mysteries and Forbidden Mexico is not so sure that NASA performed the retrieval.
He writes, "The fact is that a number of (USA) agencies (take your
pick--S.C.) shield themselves behind NASA's glowing reputation overseas
to conduct covert ops.
-
- If a bunch of military men turn up in the back country
of any South American nation, they're more than likely to find themselves
pinned down by unfriendly fire. If they swap their cammo for lab coats
and say NASA, everyone will say, 'Oh, NASA! The guys who put us on the
Moon. Right this way.'" (Muchas gracias a Scott Corrales y Gloria
Coluchi para esa historia.)

- (Editor's Comment: I just can't see NASA administrator
Dan Goldin as a Boris Karloff-type mad scientist cooking up monsters in
the lab. I'm wondering if these creatures had anything to do with the UFO
crash in northern Argentina weeks ago. Welcome to Varginha 2. I wonder
what's on the menu tonight at Camp Condon. Army-issue tuna-and-noodles!?
Maybe it will taste better with some ketchup on it.)
