First Images Taken Of Chupacabras?

After analyzing the digital image, it was established that the shadow corresponds to a being with thse characteristics.

The "Chupacabras" phenomenon has become one of the most important mysteries of recent years in Calama and in the country. The stories and experiences of many people who have seen animals die in bizarre fashion have caused many researchers to become devoted almost exclusively to the subject.

Newspapers, magazines and TV shows have devoted considerable space in an effort to solve the enigma. However, a true image of the creature has never been presented. For this reason it was always spoken of in terms of a myth, or something unknown.

However, researcher Jaime Ferrer, known in Calama and in other latitudes, presented to this newspaper as an exclusive what may be the first audiovisual take of the Chupacabras.

According to his own version, the tape was presented on the Mega network's "La Ley de la Selva" program. However, the strange being's presence was not noticed during the original screening.

"The image was presented to show the site whre some attacks had occurred (Codao, Peumo, Sixth Region). After a while, researcher and TV producer Claudio Ojeda Asmussen, noticed that there was a strange shadow moving among the bushes at the site."

After analyzing the image over three months and through the use of modern computer software, "it was established that [the shadow] was that of an unknown animal, in other words, the Chupacabras, thus becoming the most important piece of audiovisual evidence in the field of cryptozoology in recent years."

According to background information supplied by Ferrer, the creature has strange characteristics. Its stride resembles that of an ape, but traits of other animals can be seen in its structure, such as a feline, a dog, and even some sort of "hoses" that dangle from its muzzle and through which "it would drain the blood of animals," explained the ufologist from the El Loa region.

Ferrer explained that "Claudio Ojeda is the intellectual autor of this discovery, as well as of the complex digital analysis performed on the recording. He called me, since he knows my research. I attest to the truthfulness of the recording and to the earnesty of his work."

"This represents a very important step in clarifying this phenomenon. Here we have a creature that is on the surface of the earth, captured on videotape, and not a figment of the imagination or a tall tale.".

The Phoenix Lights
  - Lynne D. Kitei

During the evening hours of March 13, 1997, thousands of Arizona residents witnessed a mile-long, v-shaped formation of lights flying in the skies overhead. The UFO sightings garnered headline news, catching the attention of both USA Today and the CBS Evening News with Dan Rather. One person, however, was not surprised by the appearance of the lights. Dr. Lynne Kitei was simply grateful that a phenomenon she'd been witnessing--and documenting--for months was being validated by the experience of thousands of people statewide. After the incident, Dr. Kitei preferred to stay in the background, anonymously feeding information and video clips to the many news organizations who wanted in on the story. Now, for the first time, Dr. Kitei comes forward to tell her own story. 'The Phoenix Lights' is an exhaustively researched look at the phenomenon, including dozens of astonishing photographs and Kitei's own take on the wider implications of this remarkable event.
