 Salvador Freixedo: Bigfoot in Puerto Rico?

There  is one case in particular  to which  I would  like to give special attention. It sums  up  the details  of other cases  and  confirms  the  theory  that  these  entities  travel easily where they will in fireball shape.
The observation  has been made  that when  these enti• ties  try  to assume  either  animal  or  human  shape,  they are unable to do so perfectly. This would  account for the descriptions of "misshapen" creatures  lacking  a  limb  or exhibiting a deformity.
The case, which took place in Puerto Rico on the outskirts  of the city of San Juan, was recounted  to me  by a person   connected   to  the  event.   Unfortunately,  I  have been unable to talk to the witness herself, as the shock of the event  caused  her  to be interned  in a nursing  home. She has refused to discuss the matter since.
This was a woman  whose house was surrounded by a sturdy   fence,  making   access  to  the  house   impossible without  first ringing  the bell. She also had several  rather fierce  dogs  which  had  the  run  of  the garden  and  surrounding vegetable patch, keeping strangers out.
One day  the woman, alerted  by the frantic barking of the dogs,  went  to the garden  and  was  surprised   to see them  barking at a rather large ape which had climbed  to the very  top of a palm  tree in the garden. The tree was a tall one, so  there was no way  the dogs could  get  at  the strange   beast.   The   woman   was   aghast,   first   at   the thought  that  the beast had gotten  past the fence and  the dogs, and then because it looked so menacing.
For a while, it glared at her from the top of the palm tree, seeming  to shoot  flames from its eyes. The animal gradually  began to shrink  and  acquire a spherical  shape, taking on a fiery glow. This went  on  until  it became a shining round  mass the size of a basketball. The woman, her heart  pounding,  watched  as  the  ball  began  to rise "slowly, vanishing  into the sky.
Understandably, the woman, who was a little impressionable  to start  with, was prostrated  with  shock  at what she had witnessed.
As in many cases, the reaction of the dogs  precludes to a great extent  the possibility of the woman  simply experiencing a  hallucination.  It is a fact, however,  that  a dog's  master can exert great  influence on its mind,  but there is a limit to the degree to which this can occur.
There  are countless cases of balls of fire appearing in certain mountain   areas  or  even  particular   stretches   of highways.  Sometimes  they  follow  cars,  but  if  the  car stops  they stop as well. At other  times they enjoy being followed, hovering  in front of vehicles  at  the same  distance, no matter  how much the vehicle accelerates.
Very often  they sway  in  the air, as if  rocking  from side to side, and frequently  bounce along without  touchIng ground.  They are  usually  harmless  and  give  the impression of having  the same  sort  of intelligence  as  animals.  They  are  inquisitive,  playful  and  escape  if  seriously pursued.
