Summary: Mr. A.J.A. had stepped out of his home to smoke a cigarette in his front yard when he suddenly noticed a figure approaching from his right. At first he thought it was a large owl but as it flew directly in front of him he saw that it was a bizarre creature. As the creature flew close to a nearby light pole the witness noticed that it was a humanoid figure with a very large head, which was wingless and flew at in an even level flight, totally noiselessly. The body was about 1 meter 4cm in length. It appeared to be covered in dark green “matted down” hair. It had a pear shaped head but the witness could not see any eyes. It had long thin arms. As the creature flew in front of the witness about 10 meters away, he felt a cold chill and illogic panic. The creature flew by the light pole and executed a 90-degree turn quickly disappearing from sight. The lights streetlights went out as the creature flew by, they came back on later.

Freddy Villalobos, his cousin Christopher Huanca Valenzuela and a group of friends had just finished a soccer match in a nearby field, when they saw a strange bird. It was about 70 cm in length. It landed on top of a public light pole. The light fixture dimmed as the creature landed on it; it was to a point where it was almost completely out. The witnesses were able to see that it had round reddish yellow eyes. The creature emitted short squeaking sounds. One of the witnesses turned on the truck headlights in order to obtain a better look and the bird reacted immediately, covering its head with its wings, as the light apparently bothered it. It seemed to be floating on top of the light fixture rather than having its feet on top of it. Suddenly, it opened up its wings for a brief moment and they saw its head; they described it as horrible. It resembled the head of an old man with a long nose and a triangular shaped mouth. Scared, the kids began throwing rocks at it. It shortly flew away and disappeared.

The director of a local school noticed a group of children starting at a nearby tree. All were silent and were not moving a muscle and appeared to be fascinated by something. As he approached the group he noticed a bizarre bird-like creature, about 1.80 meters in height that was flying slowly around the tree at about 4 meters from the ground. This “bird” was totally black in color and somewhat resembled a Great Dane dog with wings. It seemed to move in slow motion, and would briefly hide inside the tree branches and then exit again. The director obtained a flashlight from his office and illuminated the creature that seemed to resent the light. It had large bright white eyes. After a few minutes it seemed to disappear in plain sight.

She then looked in the water and noticed a pinkish figure or head. It turned and saw the witnesses. The figure seemed to have deep sunken eyes. As soon s it saw them it dipped under the water and did not come out again. During the whole incident there was a bright light over the canal that was moving in a circular pattern at very high speed. The object disappeared, came back after 30 seconds then disappeared again.

Two witnesses scouting for deer near the Strawberry Reservoir Area when they smelled a strong odor resembling raw sewage. After awhile the smell sort of dissipated and they kept walking on the trail. As they rounded a bend there was a tremendous crash, like thunder, in the forest off to their right. Twigs and branches breaking and something huge running at a high speed preceded it. Later they heard more sounds and a sound resembling a “grunt.” One of the witnesses thought he saw a shadow or an outline of a “person” walking from tree to tree. He estimated it to be from 5 to 6 ft tall and bipedal.
