In the Caribbean island nation of Cuba, a curious incident allegedly occurred involving the presence of a "Type II" snowman captured by the country's armed forces after a search involving columns of soldiers and a clever Ruse to capture him in a cave on Cerro El Labra in the San Ambrosio district, Pinar del Rio province.

The event took place sometime in 1987, and was reported by a young recruit known only as "Mario", who told how news of the pursuit of a strange creature reached the battalion in which he served. 

The creature was captured in the Sierra de Los Oreganos, a densely tree-lined area, and taken to a military hospital for treatment of wounds sustained during the capture. In an interview with the late researcher Virgilio Sanchez Osejo, "Mario" said the strange creature was placed in a medical science lab at his base.

"This fact," said the young recruit, " caused a stir, for the prisoner was said to be an animal. I didn't see it up close because we weren't allowed to approach it."

Despite the restriction, Mario was able to get enough attention to provide the following report. 

"He looked more like a man than a monkey, although he was taller than an ordinary person. He was naked, and his entire body was covered in hair. He also had a wide nose, and there were pores and small black spots on the skin of his face. His arms were very long. I couldn't see his feet, but he was making guttural noises."

The technician took a picture and they gave it a name from the book, but I can't remember it. They said it would be used for research purposes. That's all I know.

The Osejo researcher adds:

"Later, there were unconfirmed rumors that Bigfoot was sent to Havana on Board a military truck."

Original news

A curious incident allegedly took place in the Caribbean island nation of Cuba, reportedly involving the presence of a “Type II” Bigfoot creature captured by the armed forces of that country after a search involving columns of soldiers and an elaborate ruse to capture it in a cave on Cerro El Labra in the location of San Ambrosio, Province of Pinar del Rio.

The event occurred sometime in the year 1987 and was reported by young recruit known only as “Mario”, who described how news of the pursuit of the strange entity made its way to the battalion in which he served. The entity had been caught in the Sierra de los Oréganos, a densely forested area, and taken to a military hospital to treat the injuries suffered during the capture. In an interview with the late researcher Virgilio Sanchez Ocejo, “Mario” said the strange capitve was remanded to the Medical Sciences Laboratory at his base.

“This fact,” said the young recruit, “caused a commotion, as it was said the captive was an animal. I did not see it up close because we were not allowed to approach it.”

The restriction notwithstanding, Mario was able to get enough of a look to provide the following report. “It looked more like a man than an ape, although it was taller than a normal person. It was naked and hair all over its body. It also had a broad nose and the skin on its face had pores and small black spots. Its hands were very long. I wasn’t able to see its feet, but it issued guttural sounds. A technician took photos and it was given a name taken from a book, but I cannot remember it. They said it would be employed for research purposes. That is all I know.”

Researcher Ocejo adds: “Unconfirmed rumors were later circulated that the Bigfoot had been sent to Havana aboard a military truck.”
