The "Chupacabras" phenomenon has become one of the most important mysteries of recent years in Calama and in the country. The stories and experiences of many people who have seen animals die in bizarre fashion have caused many researchers to become devoted almost exclusively to the subject. Newspapers, magazines and TV shows have devoted considerable space in an effort to solve the enigma. However, a true image of the creature has never been presented. For this reason it was always spoken of in terms of a myth, or something unknown. However, researcher Jaime Ferrer, known in Calama and in other latitudes, presented to this newspaper as an exclusive what may be the first audiovisual take of the Chupacabras. According to his own version, the tape was presented on the Mega network's "La Ley de la Selva" program. However, the strange being's presence was not noticed during the original screening. "The image was presented to show the site where some attacks had occurred (Codao, Peumo, Sixth Region). After a while, researcher and TV producer Claudio Ojeda Asmussen, noticed that there was a strange shadow moving among the bushes at the site." After analyzing the image over three months and through the use of modern computer software, "it was established that [the shadow] was that of an unknown animal, in other words, the Chupacabras, thus becoming the most important piece of audiovisual evidence in the field of cryptozoology in recent years."
