Engineer Edwin Fontanes Jr., his son, father and three friends went to the river to catch freshwater shrimp. All this time, they heard the crackling of branches around them and strange whistling sounds from an unknown source. Later that night, when they were returning, his son and father were walking about 50 feet (15 m) ahead of the rest of the group. At some point, the grandfather stumbled, and when his grandson tried to pick him up, he again heard the sound of breaking branches nearby. 

He pointed his flashlight in the direction of the sound and saw what he first thought was the trunk of a palm tree, out of curiosity, he set the flashlight to a brighter level and pointed again at the "trunk". At that moment, he realized that it was not the trunk of a palm tree, but a strange, very tall creature. 

He described a creature about 7 feet (2.1 m) tall, with brown skin, it had a pointed head with two protrusions, and in the shoulder area it had something like sharp protrusions on each side. There were what looked like vertical marks on his chest, near his waist. It had three claw-like fingers, and it was very thin. 

The knees seemed to be "backwards", unlike people. According to Edwin Jr., the creature looked at him for a moment, and then ran away without moving its hands.
