Description

I wrote this as a comment on another post talking about UFOs in Puerto Rico, figured I'd make it a post so more people see it.

Wepa! I'm from Lajas, Puerto Rico, specifically the part that overlooks the valley and the Cartagena Lagoon, and a fisherman since I could walk. My family on my mother's side has had multiple up close sightings and encounters at night. I'm going to summarize them here and if you want more information PM me. Both main sightings happened in the late 80's to early 90's, before the area was urbanized to the extent is is today. I'll also add my story that I didn't write in the other post.

Purple orbs rising from the lagoon

Context for non-boricuas: Cartagena Lagoon is a small lagoon located in a dried up estuary surrounded by two mountain ranges, one where I live that is towards the rest of the island and one between the valley and the current shoreline. The area is a hotbed of activity but the lagoon is considered to be the epicenter of most of it. Theories range from extradimensional portals to secret military bases although I won't be diving into speculation here.

When my mother, aunts and uncle were young they went with my grandparents to the lagoon because there was a lot of ufo activity going on and, being a small town with fuck all to do, that was the peak of entertainment. There were a lot of cars parked on the road waiting to see if anything happened, my grandmother along with a few more cars cut through some farmland to get to the other side of the lagoon that was much more secluded. They got to the shoreline and set up camp in the cattails right next to the water, turning all of the lights off to get a better view of whatever happened that night. After a few hours, a series of basketball-sized metallic orbs came out of the water glowing a dull purple and, without a noise, shot up into the sky. She tells me that the orbs came up on their side of the lagoon, within 50 feet of where they were (in her words, about as far from them as my front door is to the end of the driveway) and had no sound coming from them. After the orbs shot up, a large feline looking creature with weird eyes (she said it looked like a huge black cat with big round human eyes) came out of the brush, looked at them and dissapeared back into the cattails. They all got in the car and booked it out of there, going thru barbed wire cattle fences to get to the road. I've shown her a few orb videos and she said they looked just like what she saw, without the glow. I should also mention I've seen blue and red lights floating over the lagoon, although it was too far from my house to see any clear details other than the lights.

USOs, UFOs and GTFO

This happened on the other side of the mountain range that divides the valley from the shoreline, in a town called La Parguera. This is a fishing village that has a lot of little islands scattered around it and the boat ramp (Las Crayolas) is in front of a long one, you can only approach it from the sides. There is one entrance that is very close to the ramp, the other is a few hundred yards away. My grandfather frequently went on deep sea night fishing trips and they'd pick them up at dawn there. On the night of this event, they were on their fishing grounds when a red orb shot out of the water and started following their boat at high speed. The orb followed them back to the shore and when they were close to the entrance they spotted a huge glowing underwater light blocking their entrance to the dock. My aunt was up in the mangrove trees watching them come to shore and she saw the light spanned almost from one side of the entrance to the other, the entrance is around 300 feet wide and 15-20 feet deep. They had to go around the island and enter the shallow canals that led to the boat ramp, tied the boat to the dock then scrambled to pack the outboard motor and gas cans into the station wagon and got the fuck out of dodge. They were legitimately scared for their lives, even 40 years later when she told me the story I could tell it shook them up. My grandfather never went on a night fishing trip with that crew again, even though it was very lucrative since they would fill a boat cooler with fish every trip.

My daylight sighting

My clearest sighting happened during the day, contrary to my family's sightings. It isn't nearly as interesting, although it still shocked me at the time. It happened after a big airshow (I think it was 2009?) When we were on the highway heading back home. I was looking at the mountains along the road when I spotted a silver pie plate shaped disc, floating and swaying next to the powerlines that crossed the road. The powerlines had visibility markers and the object was a few times wider than those. I was paralyzed and got goosebumps, although I was in a full car the words just didn't come out of my mouth. Since we were at highway speeds we passed it pretty quickly but that memory is seared into my brain.
