Las Caritas |
There is little doubt that the South American continent is a place of copious reports of strange occurrences and paranormal phenomena. From Mexico to Brazil through Chile, Puerto Rico and Argentina, incredible creature accounts have been documented for centuries.
The Nazca Lines of Peru or Las Caritas (The Little Faces) petroglyphs of the Dominican Republic are just a few examples of the multiple locations where alleged ancient alien visitations have taken place.
The 1970s was a decade of high UFO activity in the Dominican Republic; robot men,UFO pilot sightings, and unexplained animal mutilations.
But there is one incident in particular that many haven’t heard about: the supposed humanoid encounter that shocked the town of Paya, located on the southern coast of Hispaniola.
On November 6, 1972, a UFO reportedly flew over a house where a religious ceremony aimed at helping a sick person was being held. The afflicted woman, 45-year-old Ramona De Baez, had been suffering from stomach cancer for some time and was now lying in bed while surrounded by the fervorous believers. Julia Elvira, one of the guests, said she saw a “light like a large star” trough the window. When the congregants noticed the intense light, panic ensued and everybody froze. The man holding the prayers explained that “an angel” had taken his hand prior to guiding him back to the the sick woman’s bed. Then, witnesses said, the entity purportedly placed its hands upon De Baez, who immediately fell asleep. According to the woman, when she woke up, she didn’t feel ill anymore. She also said that she felt a “sensation of cold” from the “alien’s touch”.
One wonders, however, why this extraordinary event has not been further investigated by researchers. There are merely two sources containing this story; one is the A.P.R.O. bulletin from January, 1982. The other is the supplemental information provided by Scott Corrales in 2006 on his article titled UFO’s over Hispaniola.
To this day, newspaper clippings, police reports or additional eyewitness accounts don’t appear to be readily available. Furthermore, there is not a description of the creature provided by the witnesses; the size, shape or color of the “entity” are not clear.
Religious and paranormal healing claims have always been a topic of controversy, which could have prompted other researchers to dismiss this case from the start in an effort to keep the possible public ridicule at bay.
