Saucers from a camouflaged opening, Santiago, Puerto Rico (from Alien Base)

1979 ยท near the US Army Reserve Base at Santiago, Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico

Outside the region. Hind reprinted this case from elsewhere; it has a file here but no place on the map.

What was reported

In the one anecdote reviewer Prier Wintle found fascinating in Timothy Good's Alien Base, two young witnesses near the US Army Reserve Base at Santiago, Puerto Rico, saw the earth rise like a camouflaged platform carrying dirt, rocks and bushes, revealing a rectangular opening about 80 ft wide. Two silvery flying saucers some 60 ft across emerged and hovered above it, and the witnesses claimed to read the letters URSS, the Spanish acronym for the USSR, on their undersides. When a jeep sped towards them from a white building they fled and later reported to investigator Jorge Martin. Good speculates about a joint American-Russian terrestrial base but, Wintle complains, offers no follow-up investigation.

What Hind made of it

Reviewer Prier Wintle: fascinating but left uninvestigated by Good.
