Lajas valley as a UFO-watching ground
Since the 1990s the dark, flat Lajas valley has drawn sky-watchers and been promoted locally as Puerto Rico's UFO route, with repeated reports of lights over the Sierra Bermeja.

The account
The valley's reputation grew out of the Cabo Rojo and Laguna Cartagena stories. Local enthusiasts have organised vigils and built a landing pad as a tourist curiosity.
The sceptical view
The south-west coast sits under busy air routes and near former military sites; most lights reported here fit aircraft, flares and satellites.
