Puerto Rico: A wobbly alien in my backyard. Excerpt from the book "Don't Talk to Strangers: Checking CE-3" (Scott Corrales, Institute of Latin American Ufology/INEXPLICATA (in) 2001, 2023)
From the late 1980s until the 1990s, the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico held pride of place as the strangest place on the planet without restrictions: UFO sightings in the air, on land and at sea, strange creatures such as bigfoot... such as Comecogollos and the ubiquitous chupacabras, as well as the possibility of collusion between the military and the island authorities, in order to keep these issues secret, filled the pages of many books and magazines all over the planet.
Despite these and other paranormal phenomena, traditional cases of CE-3 can still be found. One of the most striking events occurred on July 31, 2000 in the densely populated Bairoa district in Aguas Buenas, a residential area of metropolitan San Juan.
According to researchers Lucy Guzman and Edwin Plaza, the incident in Aguas Buenas began early on the morning of the 31st, when Marie Molina, a witness to the events, was awakened by an unusual sound on her corrugated zinc roof at exactly five o'clock. in the morning, followed by the sudden and frantic barking of the neighborhood watchdogs. Pulling apart the items of clothing that she had hung on the window to look out into the darkness, she was amazed in an indescribable way.
With his back to her, about 15 feet away, stood a tall creature with pale wrinkled skin, long ears, arms and legs, and an egg-shaped head. Ms. Molina was apparently able to make out the corners of his oblong white eyes with a black center, but could not make out the details of his mouth and nose, as well as the number of fingers on his hands.
But the most curious detail of this meeting in the backyard was the fact that the strange creature was constantly shaking his body, clasping his hands in a prayer pose, which Molina perceived. A witness later told Guzman and Plaza that the creature's shudder reminded her of "a person suffering from a muscle spasm who is trying to relieve it [by shaking]."
Ms. Molina watched the creature for about fifteen minutes until she had a sudden, perhaps irrational fear that the shaking creature would somehow try to get into her house. This prompted her to reach for the phone and call another person (described by researchers as a "sister, friend or neighbor"), who urged her not to call the police for help, as "they wouldn't believe her", and asked her to hold out while a relative was sent to rescue her.
Five minutes after the phone call, Ms. Molina decided to check on the unwanted visitor again, but this time she accidentally hit her foot on an object near the wall. The sound caused the creature to stop its activity (but obviously not trembling) and turn to look at her. Clearly seeing his face now, the witness noticed that he seemed to have given her a telepathic command to close her eyes. This prompted her to step back from the window and rub her eyes several times, trying to focus and somehow break the suggestion made by the entity. The fact that it was able to "order" her to act only increased Miss Molina's fear—if a shaking creature could control its mind so easily, what could it expect?
Another five minutes of barely restrained panic passed until Molina heard her name being called from the street —it was the person her phone contact had sent to her rescue. Perhaps encouraged by this, she ran back to the window to see if the creature was still in the backyard, but it disappeared. In an article for Inexplicata (autumn 2000), Lucy Guzman notes that Marie Molina experienced some slight changes after this event: a heavy smoker throughout her life, Molina no longer felt the desire to smoke, a bad mood due to quitting smoking."
The case of 2000 in Aguas Buenas resembles another case in Puerto Rico, which occurred in the mid-70s during a wave of UFOs, which included injuries inflicted by a Vampire Moka. On April 17, 1975, Orlando Franceschi, an ambulance driver at a hospital in Ponce on the Caribbean coast of the island, returned to his house after 20:00 that evening only to realize that something unusual was happening. in his backyard. Franceschi saw his guard dog jumping into the air in a desperate attempt to climb over the fence and get away from what was there. The owner of the house, tired after a long day's work, angrily went to the backyard, prudently armed with a shovel, which he kept at one of the exterior walls of the house.
Nothing could have prepared the ambulance driver for what he found in his backyard: a bizarre creature with long pointed ears, a long nose, a lipless mouth and grayish, ashen skin. Franceschi later described his eyes as "black spots" and a chin line resembling that of a monkey. The creature approached the landlord with a convulsive, stiff gait.
With a mixture of fear and anger, Franceschi hit the five-foot intruder with a shovel, but was surprised to see that he did not suffer from the terrible blow. Oddly enough, the entity retreated, perhaps intentionally allowing Francesca to land a second blow with the shovel without any effect. But when the man was about to strike the third blow, he began to feel his body numb and paralyzed, leaving him at the mercy of something that could withstand such physical punishment without flinching. Helpless, expecting the worst from an inhuman figure, the ambulance driver was shocked to see how the creature (which he called a "zombie") disappeared into thin air.

Puerto Rico: Shaky Alien in My Backyard
Excerpted from Don't Talk to Strangers: CE-3s Examined
By Scott Corrales, Institute of Hispanic Ufology/INEXPLICATA
(c) 2001, 2023
From the late 1980s and well through the 1990's, the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico held pride of place as the no-holds-barred strangest place on the planet: sightings of UFOs in the air, land and sea, strange creatures like the Bigfoot-like Comecogollos and the ubiquitous Chupacabras, and the possibility of collusion among the military and island authorities to keep these matters a secret, filled the pages of many a book and magazine around the planet.
In spite of these and other paranormal goings-on, it is still possible to come across traditional CE-3 cases. One of the most compelling ones occured on July 31, 2000 in the densely populated Bairoa sector of Aguas Buenas, a bedroom community of metropolitan San Juan.
According to researchers Lucy Guzmán and Edwin Plaza, the Aguas Buenas incident began in the early morning hours of the 31st, when Marie Molina, the witness to the events, was awakened by an unusual sound on her corrugated zinc roof at exactly five o'clock in the morning, followed by the sudden and frantic barking of her neighbor's watchdogs. Parting the items of clothing she'd hung across the window in order to peer out into the darkness, she was startled beyond words.
Standing with its back to her, at an estimated distance of 15 feet, was a tall creature with pallid, wrinkled skin, long ears, arms and legs, and an egg-shaped head. Ms. Molina was apparently able to see the corners of its elongated white eyes with black centers, but unable to make out the details of its mouth and nose, nor the number of fingers on its hands.
But the most curious detail of this backyard encounter was the fact that the strange entity shook its body incessantly, with its hands clenched in what Molina took to be a prayeful attitude. The witness would later tell Guzmán and Plaza that the creature's shudders reminded her of "a person afflicted with a muscular cramp and who is trying to relieve it [by shaking]."
Ms. Molina watched the creature for approximately fifteen minutes until she developed a sudden, perhaps irrational, fear that the shaking creature would somehow try and get into her house. This prompted her to reach for the phone and call another person (described as "a sister, friend or neighbor" by the researchers) who urged her not to call the police for help, since "she would not be believed", and asked her to hold on while a relative was sent out to rescue her.
Five minutes after having made the phone call, Ms. Molina decided to check on her unwanted visitor again, but this time accidentally bumping her leg against an object near the wall. The sound caused the creature to stop its activity (but apparently not its shaking) and turn to look at her. Clearly able to see its face now, the witness remarked that it appeared to be giving her a telepathic command to shut her eyes. This prompted her to step back from the window and rub her eyes repeatedly in an effort to focus and somehow break the suggestion placed by the entity. The fact that it had been able to "command" her to take action only served to ratchet Ms. Molina's fear even higher--if the shaking creature could control her mind so readily, what might be in store for her?
Another five minutes of barely restrained panic elapsed until Molina heard her name being called from the street--it was the person that her telephone contact had sent to rescue her. Perhaps feeling heartened by this, she ran back to the window to see if the creature was still in the backyard, but it had vanished. In an article for Inexplicata (Fall 2000), Lucy Guzman notes that Marie Molina had experienced some mild changes in the wake of the event: a chain smoker all of her life, Molina no longer felt the urge to smoke, "nor was she in bad mood over not smoking."
The 2000 Aguas Buenas case brings to mind another Puerto Rican case which occurred in mid-'70s during the UFO wave which included the mutilations caused by the Moca Vampire. On April 17, 1975 Orlando Franceschi, an ambulance driver for a hospital in the city of Ponce, on the island's Caribbean shore, returned to his house after 8:00 p.m. that evening only to become aware of the fact that something unsual was going on in his backyard. Franceschi's could see his watchdog jumping into the air in a frantic effort to clear the fence get away from whatever it was. The homeowner, tired after a long day's work, angrily set off for the backyard, taking the precaution to arm himself with a shovel which he kept against one of the house's exterior walls.
Nothing could have prepared the ambulance driver for what he found in his backyard: a bizarre entity with long, pointed ears, a long nose, lipless mouth and greyish, ashen skin. Franceschi would later describe it eyes as being "black spots", and having a jawline reminiscent of an ape's. The creature walked toward the homeowner with a jerky, stiff gait.
In a mixture of fear and anger, Franceschi struck the five foot tall intruder with the shovel, but was surprised to see that it was unharmed by the terrific blow. Oddly enough, the entity backed off, perhaps deliberately allowing Franceschi to deliver a second shovel-blow without any effect. But when the human was winding up to deliver a third strike, he began to feel his body becoming numb and paralyzed, leaving him at the mercy of whatever it was that could withstand such physical punishment without flinching. Helpless, expecting the worse from the non-human figure, the ambulance driver was shocked to see the entity (which he described as a "zombie") fade into thin air.
