1988, Porto-Rico, Kianí Lagoon
We were able to obtain more evidence to back up our investigations and show there is a presence of nonhuman entities in Vieques. The following testimony is just an example of such presence. There are many other such accounts in the book.
We also obtained testimonial evidence demonstrating the presence of non-human entities in Vieques. An example of this was a conversation with Mrs. Mercedes Sanés and her husband, don Luis Ortiz, the sister and brother-in-law, respectively, of the late David Sanés. Mr. Ortiz was employed at the Sun Bay resort, south of Vieques, for many years. He is dedicated to part-time fishing, as are a good number of other witnesses.
« Now that you ask us about this, » Don Luis Ortiz said, « I will say that I have seen some strange objects in the sky. They are large and very bright, and they are always followed by four smaller objects, also very bright. At the distance I have seen them from, they are bigger than my Jeep » (his vehicle is about six to seven feet long). « This gives you an idea of the size of these things. I have always seen them around 9:00 – 9:30 at night, often while working at Sun Bay. They come from the west, moving eastward toward the area of Camp García and the navy’s firing range. I have seen them often, and for years. I have always wondered about the sound, because they are not airplanes or helicopters or anything I know of. They don’t make noise, they don’t have engines or turbines — nothing at all. They have an oval shape and are rounded. And the other smaller objects always follow the large one, as if they were in formation. The large one has a very bright yellow-orange light, and the other four are also bright, as bright as stars, and each one has a different color: white, yellow, red and blue … and sometimes they just stop in the air. »
In turn, Mercedes indicated to us that on one occasion she saw them next to her husband from the balcony of their residence in La Mina: « It called me, » she said, « and when I went out, I could see it. It was a very large, very bright, golden-yellow light. It was going towards the east, towards Camp García. It always goes there, or it comes from there going to the west. That time it remained suspended in the air, very quietly, for half an hour, more or less … and then it was gone. It was something very unusual, but we thought that it was probably something from the Navy, so we just left and didn’t talk about it to anyone. »
« On one occasion, » added Mr. Ortiz, « I saw not one, but two of those objects pass by, each one followed by a row of smaller luminous objects. They passed by, flying toward the east, toward the camp, and shortly after two military jets passed by, going in the same direction. Surely, the jets were from the base at Roosevelt Roads. Well, the fact is that the jets passed in that direction and a little later we heard explosions. That was at about 8:00 at night.
« I thought that they were doing bombing exercises on the firing range. A half hour later one of the objects passed by, returning towards the west. Not the two objects that had passed over originally, just one … and the airplanes could not be heard, nor could they be seen any more. What really happened, I don’t know, but everything happened just as I said. I don’t remember if when [the flying objects] passed there were naval exercises, this was about three years ago, as far back as 1998. Two weeks ago, at the beginning of July, I saw another one of those objects. We were holding a service for our son here at the house, and everyone who was here saw it. It was suspended a bit more towards the south-east, towards Sun Bay. It happened just when the most recent naval exercises had finished. »
If the preceding event seems important, then what Mr. Ortiz revealed to us subsequently is a great deal more so.
We were talking about the different testimonies that we had collected from the islanders — among these were some incidents describing encounters with humanoid creatures in some of the local lagoons. At that very same moment Mr. Ortiz became somewhat exited and told us, « Yes that is true. Those little men are seen here, and not only now, they have been seen before, since long ago, for many years now. »
Interested by his assertion and sudden edginess, we asked him why he said it. Ortiz lit a cigarette and began to smoke while he revealed something to us that he had not even revealed to his wife until now.
« I am telling you this because I have seen them, » he indicated. « And not only me, but also those who fish in the Kianí Lagoon. Many times, when we went fishing during the day, we saw them. They are quite quick … and they have an incredible agility. »
« Please, would you describe what you saw? » we asked.
« They are strange, Very thin, with very skinny legs resembling those of chickens. I say that because on their feet they have long thin toes, three or four of them, and they look like chicken feet because they are long, thin and opened. They are pale, white or gray, and very small, no more than three or three and a half feet in height, on average, and they have small human-like faces … with eyes, a small mouth, nose, but with flattened, pushed in faces, not like ours since we have protruding noses, unlike them. The eyes are dark. »
My wife Marleen asked how they had their hair and Ortiz answered, « they don’t have any hair, and their heads are very large compared to the size of their bodies, the heads are smooth and bald. »
Ortiz added that when they went to the Kianí Lagoon, located in Vieques’ extreme west, they always saw several of these creatures: « We saw a few, » he said, « but they were moving at an incredible speed and they were jumping and plunging into the waters of the lagoon. Their arms are also skinny … and they have something … I cannot explain it well, because it was dark, but it was like they had a fleshy web between their chest and their arms. And it also seemed to me that they had webbed fingers on their hands, but I am not very sure. »
Before going on to the important statements made by Mr. Luis Ortiz, we must make several comments for the benefit of the readers.
Kianí Lagoon is situated near a reservation or natural bird refuge, and although the sector was recently ‘given’ again to the town of Vieques by the US Navy, access to Kianí Lagoon has been restricted to the public by federal authorities under the allegation that the lagoon and its adjacent lands are heavily contaminated with toxic chemicals and heavy metals from armament that the Naval Department maintains in this sector.
Is this the real reason for restricting access to this area? If not, could it be that the government just wants to avoid disclosing the fact that the inhabitants of Vieques have noticed that they are sharing their island with non-human companions … and that these companions manifest themselves in precisely the sectors controlled by the Navy?
More examples are given in the book on Vieques of a non-human presence in the area.
The same circumstances have arisen in the southwest sector of Puerto Rico, specifically in the area of another lagoon known as Cartagena Lagoon, on the littoral coast of this area. As the readers see the book’s analysis on what happens in each of these sectors of Puerto Rico, they will see that what occurs in Cartagena Lagoon parallels the situation in Vieques.
Ortiz affirmed that on none of the occasions when the creatures were seen in Kianí Lagoon did the creatures ever try to attack or show any hostility towards people. He said, « They simply left when they saw us, they ran away and then leapt into the water. They never tried to harm or attack us. If they are here, and they are because we have seen them many times, they have harmed no one. Here in Vieques, those who have harmed us are in the Navy, and on that we are clear. »
On the other hand, we must say that it is significant that each of the witnesses in the cases presented in our book gave descriptions similar to those offered by the others. Although separated, the observations can be corroborated beyond any doubt. None of the witnesses knew about the experiences of the others. This gives even more validity to their statements, and by correlating all of the information, we are presented with a recurring pattern of the type of beings sighted in Vieques, their behavior and the places where they are seen. We can also see a pattern of UFO activity in the area and become aware of the apparent meddling of the US Navy in all of this.
After a logical analysis, it can be stated that what occurs in Vieques is not coincidental at all, nor is it accidental in nature. Nevertheless, the mass media in Puerto Rico refuses to discuss the matter. There seem to be orders to this effect. But, by implication, all of this information deserves to be known by the people of the archipelago of Puerto Rico and the entire world.
At the present time, we are continuing our investigation in this area, and we must inform you that the phenomena we continue to encounter based on this situation are truly surprising. It seems to indicate that official contact with non-human beings from other worlds has already happened … and it has happened in Vieques, Puerto Rico.
