The Hernandez family was having an outdoor barbecue in their backyard when suddenly some prunes, apparently from a nearby field, were thrown by their wife, Mercedes, who was guarding the grill. At first, she thought that someone from her family was playing a trick on her, but soon realized that the prunes seemed to be coming from the direction of the nearest large tree. The tree was about 10 meters away, and she came to this place. 

As she approached the tree, she heard a sound like someone chewing very loudly. As she got closer, she noticed a pair of glittering red eyes staring at her from a point in the center of the tree trunk. Whatever it was, it looked like it was sitting between two thick branches located in the center of the trunk. In horror, she shouted to her husband. 

Her husband also saw the strange figure and, grabbing a hose, sprayed the creature with water, hoping that it would scare him. In an instant, the creature made a huge leap and leaped over the wall of the nearest neighbor into a pen filled with geese and ducks. Thanks to the moonlight that night, two witnesses were able to see some details of the strange creature. 

The creature was about five feet (1.5 m) tall, covered in brown hair. It had a pear-shaped head with a very sharp beak, and a hairy one at that. It had two short arms ending in claws, and a tail-like protrusion on its back. The eyes were round and bright red. 

When the creature jumped down from the tree, it caused several branches to snap in half, and when it landed on the other side of the stone wall, there was a very audible "thump". At that moment, the creature disappeared from view.

Summary: The Hernandez family was conducting an outdoor barbeque in their backyard when suddenly several prunes apparently from a nearby field pelted the wife, Mercedes, who was guarding the grill. At first she thought that someone in her family was playing a joke on her but soon realized that the prunes seemed to be coming from the direction of a nearby large tree. The tree was about 10 meters away and she approached the area. As she approached the tree she heard a sound similar to someone chewing very loud, upon getting closer she spotted a pair of shiny red eyes, which were looking at her from a point in the center of the tree trunk. Whatever it was, it seemed to be sitting in between two thick branches located in the center of the trunk. Terrified she yelled for her husband. Her husband also saw the strange figure and grabbing a hose he sprayed water on the creature hoping that it would scare it. In an instant the creature executed a tremendous leap and jumped over the nearby neighbor’s wall, and into a pen filled with geese and ducks. Due to the moonlight on that night the two witnesses were able to see some details on the bizarre creature. The creature was about 5 ft tall, covered in brown hair. It had a pear-shaped head with what appeared to be a very pointed beak, also hairy. It had two short arms that ended in claws, and a tail-like protrusion on its back. The eyes were round and bright red in color. As the creature leapt from the tree it caused several branches to break in half, when it landed on the other side of the stonewall, there was a very audible “thump”. At this point the creature disappeared from sight. During the encounter the witnesses two pet dogs hid under a nearby outdoor sink visibly terrified.
