GIANT BOA !     On Construction..!!!
 
According to Nuevo Tacna inhabitants on Thursday 14 August 1997, a 130 foot (40m) long serpent with a diameter of about 15 feet (5m) crashed through the jungle undergrowth, breaking thousands of trees and forging a wide ditch before diving into the Amazon River. Five witnesses described a large black boa of around 130ft. Several hundred other villagers feel the effect of the large creature as the ground shook as if it was an earthquake.

Iquitos City, the capital of the Loreto Region  in Peru, South America is located at the left  side of the Amazon River border, at 115 metres above sea level, and 3646 kilometres from the Atlantic Ocean and 1017 kilometres from Lima (The Capital of the Republic). Its official date of foundation as the first fluvial ports on January 5th. 1864.The population count recorded on the last census       was approximately 350,000 inhabitants. Iquitos, has a modern International Airport "Francisco Secada Vigneta", and has not any other form of terrestrial access. As it is located in an isolated geographic part of  Peru, Iquitos is surrounded by the least adulterated forests by human being, so it is still conserving absolutely virgin areas.


Mr. Jorge Samuel Chávez Sibina, the Mayor of the of the Maynas Provincial County flew in by hydroplane over the Nueva Tacna Community together with local journalist, Carlos Villarreal, correspondent from the prestigious Station Radio Programas del Peru (RPP). They heard the inhabitants testimony and investigated the devistation caused by the creature.

 
Chávez Sibina made a call for the National and International Scientific Community to be aware of this phenomenon. Chávez Sibina said "Although there is not a film or photographic fact about this animal, it is evident that something unexplainable has happened here, that is why I think scientific should study this case".

A witness said "It is possible that this boa was for many years in a hole around 10 meters underground that it is at the beginning of the trace and from there, it started to throw down the trees and moving the ground like an earthquake just to submerge itself into the Amazon River"

Nueva Tacna Village, located at the river edge.

 
               Giant trees knocked down into the Amazon River.            Amazing clearance path made after the phenomenon.


A scientific and technical expedition confirmed the damage was probaly made by a giant snake, close to Nueva Tacna Village, located at the border of the Amazon River, 90 Km. north-east from Iquitos. Scientists from the Instituto de Investigaciones de la Amazonia Peruana (IIAP) and the Universidad Nacional de la Amazonía Peruana (UNAP) were together with the Mayor of Maynas, Mr. Jorge Samuel Chavez Sibina to affirm the version of the inhabitants who still affirm they saw the giant boa passing by making strange sounds heading to the Amazon River. According to some experts opinions, it would be an overflow of watertight in a swampy zone that it is 500 meters from the bank of the river. The expert in soils from the Amazon University, Mr. Roberto Pezo, discards that this destruction around 500 meters length and 20 Mt. wide, has been made by an animal, he
explains that it is because of the weakness of the soils caused by ten hours of torrential rains that ends in this overflow of the watertight of the swamps located at the top of the zone.This version is supported because of the weakness of the soils and the water of the rains, it made that the watertight in the aguajales that surround the swamp, has mouthed in an alluvium that throw down hundreds of trees, those that finished in the Amazon River. Journalists from Peruvian television channels could not affirm anything about the great boa.
