TL;DR
Part 3 of a deep-dive into Amaury Rivera's 1988 UFO abduction case in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico, covering the aftermath: CIA agents raiding his home for photo negatives, Rivera outsmarting them by hiding evidence in a dog house, and his eventual contact with UFO researcher Jorge Martin. The episode also connects Rivera's case to a mass F-14 disappearance sighting over the same mountains later that year.
Key points
1
Four men identifying themselves as CIA agents entered Rivera's home demanding photo negatives of the UFO craft, armed with documents and conducted a methodical multi-hour search of the entire house
2
Rivera had unconsciously hidden the photos and negatives inside his dog Christina's house earlier that same morning in a zombie-like state, which the agents never found - possibly guided by the extraterrestrials
3
The agents went directly to the drawer where the photos had previously been stored, suggesting non-human or surveillance technology tipped them off to the original location
4
Rivera sent the surviving copies to his brother Charlie in Japan via coded phone calls and a fake address, with the negatives eventually secured in a bank safety deposit box
5
In December 1988, over 100 witnesses reported a giant triangular craft over the Sierra Bermeja mountains in Cabo Rojo - the same location as Rivera's encounter - with at least two F-14s intercepting it and disappearing mid-air
6
UFO researcher Jorge Martin eventually met Rivera at his Tamarindo hot dog stand and confirmed hundreds of similar lost-time abduction cases in Puerto Rico alone
Key arguments
→
The CIA agents going directly to the specific drawer where photos had previously been stored - before searching anywhere else - is presented as strong evidence of surveillance technology or non-human intelligence sharing information with government agents
→
The 1988 Cabo Rojo mass sighting involving F-14s disappearing near a triangular craft corroborates Rivera's account and is documented by researcher Jorge Martin with over 100 witnesses and hand-drawn depictions
→
Rivera's unconscious act of hiding the evidence before the raid fits a pattern described by Ross Coulthart of experiencers entering trance-like states after UFO encounters, suggesting possible ongoing contact or influence
Notable quotes
“There seems to be something else at play here that is controlling disclosure from the inside. As they say, the call is coming from inside the house - like the NHI are collaborating with some faction of the government to keep a lid on this somehow.”
“My mental stability was slowly leaving me like sand running through fingers.”
“The drawer of oblivion.”
