Reinaldo Ortega Cotto saw a monstrous bird-like creature standing on the tin roof of his house. 

He went out to look at a kid he kept in his garden, because he had just heard a loud sound "like the flapping of wings" and noticed several pigeons that were rushing into their burrows in obvious terror, seemingly trying to escape something or other. He ran away, as he knew that some of his neighbors had lost many goats - all left mutilated and bloodless, with some organs missing and removed through tiny clean-cut holes. 

He described a creature about 3 or 4 feet (0.9-1.2 m) tall, with wings and a body like an eagle, with thick black plumage and a long, thick neck. He had big, big, " penetrating eyes." But instead of a beak, it had a sort of long snout, like a wolf's. 

When he saw it, it made a movement as if it was going to fly up, and he could see that at the bottom it had legs like a kangaroo, but with feathers halfway down, and on its feet were claws like kangaroo claws. the eagle. In addition, it had several small "paws" or "hands" coming out of the upper chest with claws at the ends.

Mr. Reynaldo Ortega Cotto saw a monstrous bird-like creature standing on the tin roof of his house. He had gone out to have a look at a little goat that he had in his garden, for he had just heard a loud noise “like the flapping of wings” and had noticed some pigeons, in evident terror darting into holes, seemingly trying to escape form something or other. He rushed out, since he knew some of his neighbors had lost a lot of goats—all left mutilated and bloodless and with certain organs missing and removed through tiny clean-cut holes. He described the creature as some 3 ft or 4 ft high, with wings and body like those of an eagle, with a thick black plumage, and a long thick neck. It had great big “very penetrating eyes.” But instead of a beak, it had a sort of long snout like that of a wolf. When it saw him, it made a movement as though to take off, and he was able to see that, below, it had feet like those of a kangaroo, but with feathers as far as half way down and, on its feet, claws like the claws of an eagle. Furthermore it had some small “legs” or “arms” coming out from the upper part of its breast, with claws at their tips.
