The Chupacabra is a legendary creature that has been blamed for the death of thousands of cattle and other livestock throughout the western hemisphere, thought to be a mysterious creature with seemingly supernatural ability to not be apprehended despite its almost commonplace wholesale slaughter of animals. And after a particularly long string of sightings last week, one Dewitt County police officer has captured footage of a creature fitting its description, alive and in custody.

The creature, most commonly spotted in Texas, was captured early last week and kept under wraps for the most part while animal control officials attempted to discern exactly what the hairless creature was. In video footage it raised its front paws articulately as veterinary staff opened the door to its kennel and watched cautiously as a woman reached her gloved hand in toward the creature to pull it out to get a better look at it. It definitely fits the description given by many others who have reportedly found the creature dead. Of course it is still vastly different from the more traditional image of the Chupacabra which is often scaled with spiny like appendages on its back and massive red, black, or green eyes and the ability to leap vast distances away from its pursuers. As test analysis came back on the creature, several were shocked by the results.

The creature turned out to be nothing more than a simple raccoon with mange, leaving its body completely hairless. Given enough time, veterinary staff say, the creature will return to looking like a normal healthy furry raccoon. But in the meantime it’s easy to understand why staff were so apprehensive to label it as anything other than an unknown, as it looks bizarre to say the least. Prior to the discovery of its nature, it was labeled as the “Dry Gulch Chupacabra,” or affectionately called “Kojak” by local law enforcement. The scared hairless creature is listed in good condition, aside from its harrowing close encounter with humans in an unfamiliar environment and a bad case of mange which will in time heal itself. it was originally captured on the back porch of an Oklahoma man who wished to remain anonymous after bringing it in until the creature could be identified.

So this current case of the Chupacabra has been solved, but what of the others that have been discovered?

From several locations, bright lights were seen in the Texas Skies on the evening of Sunday, January 24, 2010. Was it possibly the same object?

Here are three (3) reports that were submitted to MUFON. Some spelling and grammar have been corrected. To view original reports, click on case number.

MUFON Case # 21630
Reporting Date: 01/24/2010
Event Date/Time: 01/24/2010 19:28
Location: Brownsville, Texas
Shape: Sphere,Star-like
Summary: Moving object from west northwest to east southeast

Report:
While outside with my dog walking around the house, I noticed this huge bright object moving smoothly from northwest towards an east southeast direction. I would calculate altitude around 8 thousand feet based on airliners passing overhead continuously during the day over 10 thousand feet.

Late last year, a series of encounters taking place in Texas began to spur interest in a “new wave” of possible UFO activity, constituting the most consistent rash of similar reports since the events that transpired in the Stephenville area two years ago. Now, the Texas MUFON group has released information pertaining to a more recent report that points to dubious activity which, almost without a doubt, renders previous reports from the area to mere fiction.

Two days ago, Roger Marsh bragged on the work of Fletcher Gray, a Texas MUFON Field Investigator who uncovered the evidence pertaining to an alleged January 9th encounter, at his UFO Examiner page. Below is an excerpt that details a bit of Gray’s detective work:

Behind the scenes–what you as the public cannot see–are the personal details witnesses must give up. These are details that remain private for the trained and certified investigator’s eyes only so that they can conduct research into the case. In this instance, the first clue was a Yahoo email address that was created on the same day that the report was made.

The phone number for the report turned out to be a local business and there was no match between the name behind the email address and anyone working with or associated with that business.

A deputy for the Ward County Sheriff’s office was contacted who said that no reports came to his office on this case nor were there any UFO reports recently for the greater Grandfalls area. And the “old power plant” on Fifth Street – does not exist.

Earlier this week many were shocked to hear the story of the craft that dropped down onto one family’s property while they were hosting a birthday party. What had started out to be an ordinary social occasion was suddenly interrupted by a close encounter of the third kind. A story as incredible as this is thought to happen only once in a great while, but a second report has been made of an alien encounter not only with the same two week period, but within the same state!

The witnesses, all of whom shall remain anonymous, are likely unaware of one another’s encounter since neither professed an interest in the paranormal or a likelihood to visit paranormal sites (up until the point of seeing aliens emerge from craft on or nearby their own properties). Nonetheless, if either witness follows up on nearby encounters they will no doubt be struck by the absolutely mind numbing statistical unlikelihood of these encounters happening in such proximity to the other. This second encounter seemed not only to be of a different nature, but also involve a race of aliens that was quite different as well. The difference in technology was another aspect of this story that seems to lend it credibility and even make the viewer wonder if perhaps the two encounters were in some way linked.
