CHUPACABRAS PRINTS TO BE STUDIED BY GEO GROUP

CURICO. The prestigious GEO Group, devoted to the study of UFO
phenomena, is studing the prints left by the alleged
"Chupacabras" which apparently attacked thirty chickens during
early morning hours last Tuesday in La Palmilla, Rauco commune.

A total of 24 birds were found exsanguinated within a henhouse
belonging to Mar=EDa Carolina Bravo. In another nearby henhouse,
five more hens expereinced a simiar attack; no explanation is
forthcoming regarding the animal [whose fangs] pierced their
neck and drew their blood.

Alfredo Nilo, a Curico-based researcher of UFO phenomena,
visited the site of the incident and made casts of the prints
which could belong to the legendary "Chupacabras". He was also
able to secure samples of hair, whose origin shall be
investigated. In this regard, and in order to perform more
detailed studies, Alfredo Nilo took the samples to Santiago,
specifically to the GEO Group, which specializes in UFO and
paranormal phenomena. There he met with Alberto Urquiza, the
group's president, who also participates in the "La Ley de la
Selva" television show, in order to deliver the casts and
perform an analysis.

"We were able to compare some of the prints of the most recent
attack of this being, which occurred in Vi=F1a del Mar, and which
have some similar characteristics with the Rauco evidence in the
type of claw. However, the prints were left with GEO for a more
thorough analysis, since they havce the necessary materials and
instruments," said Nilo.

In this meeting, Urquiza made known his intention to visit the
area in order to see the site where the "Chupacabras" attack
allegedly occurred. Even when no specific date was given, it
could take place within a few weeks. Alfredo Nilo said that for
the time being they await the analyses to be performed by GEO in
order to ascertain the type of animal or strange being that
exsanguinated the hens from Rauco. He also noted that they are
waiting for the report to be drafted by the Agriculture and
Livestock Service (SAG) based on the hens that were removed from
the site. The prints taken by Nilo from the site where the birds
died correspond to one of the animal's legs, which is
characterized by not bein "retractable" (sic) like those of a
dog. Furthermore, reddish hair was located which could
eventually shed more light on the matter.

"We were also intersted in the fact that the birds' feathers
appeared to have been chopped off as if by a knife. When a dog
tears at something, it pulls out the feathers and they come out
by the root. We are faced with the fact that a sharp object was
responsible, and the prints show that the attacker had claws as
thin and sharp as a knife," he said.

Nilo also recalled that a resident of La Palmilla is devoted to
looking for water to build wells and tanks. He used his tools in
one of the chicken coops where the creature or animal attacked
the hens and found that the tools had acquired radiation and a
strange energy.

"We believe it's an extraterrestrial pet, a programmed being, a
hybrid or cloned species designed to extract bodily fluids or
liquids from the birds in order to feed itself, or with another
purpose altogether. It is associated to the UFO phenomenon and
is very intelligent. For this reason it will not be captured,"
he added.
