Initial data
Federico Alvarez brought a group of College students to El yunque to see if there was truth in the stories about the black reputation of mountain rainforests.
Climbing to the top in a car with its lights off, the group of researchers got an early taste of the supernatural: a dark silhouette sped along the darkened road ahead of their car. No details could be discerned from the figure, except that "it was very tall."
The four students got into the back seat, opened the doors, and gave chase through the dark woods. Alvarez stopped the car and joined the chase, realizing that he and his companions were running along a "path" that appeared to have been previously cleared through vegetation. The trail led to a large stone platform or "lookout" from which the lights of San Juan could be seen in the distance. No trace of the mysterious shadow could be found.
Students decide to head to the Yoka observation tower, a three - story tower-like structure that offers beautiful views of the surrounding countryside and neighboring peaks.
The incident with the elusive shadow clearly disturbed some members of the expedition, making them nervous. The possibility that they, too, might be besieged by unknown and inhumane forces was now all too real. The students invented an original "wire" consisting of aluminum cans, which they strategically placed at the bottom of the stairs leading to the top of the observation tower. Early in the morning, the banks started rattling.
Hesitantly, the students descended from the tower's observation deck and witnessed a disturbing sight: the banks moved by themselves, driven by an invisible force. Some members of the group felt that things had gone far enough and wanted to leave immediately, but they were persuaded to stay for what promised to be another long night.
Later in the morning, a massive oval-shaped ship about 300 feet (90 m) in diameter emerged from a gap between two neighboring peaks. It remained motionless for five minutes in full view of the students before disappearing behind one of the mountains.

Summary: Federico Alvarez led a group of college students to El Yunque in an effort to see if there was any truth to the stories being circulated about the mountain rainforests black reputation. Driving up to the peak in a car with its headlights off, the band of investigators had an early taste of the supernatural: a shadowy silhouette dashed across the darkened road ahead of their vehicle. No details could be made out of the figure, aside from the fact that “it was very tall.” Four of the students seated in the back seat, opened the doors, and charged out in hot pursuit, charging through the dark woods. Alvarez stopped the vehicle and joined the chase, realizing that he and his peers were running along a “path” that appeared to have been previously cleared through the vegetation. The trail led to a large stone landing or “lookout point” from which the lights of San Juan could be seen in the distance. No trace of the mysterious shadow could be found. The students decide to make for the Yokah Observation tower—a three story, turret-like structure that affords the excellent view of the surrounding countryside and the neighboring peaks. The incident with the elusive shadow had visibly disturbed some members of the expedition, causing nerves to fray. The possibility that they too might become the victims of a siege by unknown and inhuman forces was now all too real. The students devised an ingenious “tripwire” consisting of aluminum cans, which they strategically placed at the bottom of the stairway leading to the observation tower’s top. Early in the morning the cans began to rattle. Hesitantly, the students descended from the tower’s observation deck to witness an unsettling sight: the cans were moving around of their own accord, motivated by an invisible force. Some group members felt that things had gone far enough, and wanted to leave the site immediately, yet they were prevailed upon to remain for what promised to be another long night. Later on in the morning a massive, oval shape craft, some 300 ft in diameter appeared from the gap between two adjacent peaks. It remained motionless for five minutes and in full view of the students before vanishing behind one of the mountains.
