The dynamic Salvador Freixedo, who was living in Puerto Rico during the 1975 wave, was able to cover a considerable number of cattle mutilations and interview the thoroughly shocked cattle owners. He was to be one of the first researchers on the scene at Moca:

“During an evening in which UFOs were sighted over the town of Moca,” Freixedo says, “two ducks, three goats, a pair of geese, and a large hog were found slain the following morning on a small farm. The owner was going insane, wondering who in the world could have visited this ruin upon him. The animals betrayed the wounds that have become typical of this kind of attack, and of course, they were all inflicted with incredible precision. I did not doubt for one moment who could have been responsible for the crime … I got in my car and visited the area immediately, and realized what was filling the animals’ owner with wonder and fear: there wasn’t a trace of blood in any of the animals, in spite of the fact that the dead geese had snow-white feathers, upon which the slightest speck of blood would have shown up immediately.

“Over the next few days, the newspapers continued reporting the growing number of dead animals encountered in the region. No explanation could be found for these mysterious deaths. I visited the rural areas on various occasions to investigate the events firsthand and found that the farmers were as intrigued by their animals’ deaths as they were by the enigmatic lights they could see in the nocturnal skies. One of them told me that the lights reminded him of the revolving lights on top of a police cruiser.

“During one of my forays, I was able to see a black and white cow spread out in the middle of the field. I got out of the car and tried to reach the cow, which wasn’t easy. The dead beast had characteristic wounds on its neck and on its head. Skin had been pulled back on one side of its head, as if by a scalpel, and the opening to one of its nasal orifices was missing, although there was no indication of rending. In spite of the whiteness of its head, there wasn’t a single drop of blood to be seen. The farmer who escorted me could not stop wondering what had caused his cow’s death. He related how that very same night he had heard his dogs barking furiously, and that a blind elderly woman who lived on the edge of the field had told him that the cattle, which ordinarily spends the night outdoors, had kept her from getting a good night’s sleep due to their frantic, maddened running from one end of the field to another.

The heat of a tropical summer appeared not to inconvenience the Moca Vampire: On June 25th it killed 25 farm animals outside of Isabela; Fourteen fighting cocks were later exsanguinated by the same predator, this time in Yauco. As the summer wore on, the “vampire”, its appetite seemingly sated, diminished its activity before vanishing altogether in August 1975.

UFO researcher and journalist John Keel, in his landmark book The Eighth Tower (Dutton, 1975), makes several observations that can be applied to the paranormal events which occurred in the Caribbean during the ’70s and which would repeat themselves years later. One of the reasons for the apparent imperviousness of these so-called monsters to bladed weapons or bullets (the reader will recall the number of Bigfoot cases in the U.S. in which high-power rifles apparently have no effect on these entities) is due to the fact that they are composed of “highly condensed atoms” such as those in plutonium. Keel went on to suggest that if dense, probably radioactive, atoms account for these entities’s composition, it would explain why these manifestations have such brief existences in our material world. When first materialized, Keel suggests, these entities pose no threat to humans, but as their atomic integrity deteriorates, they might easily project lethal radiation. Investigators following the trail of the Chupacabras in 1995, both in Puerto Rico and Central America, reportedly found considerably high radiation readings at the locations in which the entity staged its attacks.

    Nick…

    Interesting , that, about the radiation. Had forgotten that bit from “Eighth Tower”. That could perhaps work to explain some of these Backlash-illness situations (in some cases), although in some others direct contact doesn’t occur. This thing works almost like a “shell game”. Hard to tell which shell the pea is under…or if its under any one of them at all!
