Scott Corrales

Scott Corrales is an independent researcher and bilingual translator who has become the foremost English-language investigator of UFO phenomena in Latin America, the Caribbean, and Spain. Based in Pennsylvania, Corrales developed his intense interest in UFO research through extended residence in Mexico and Puerto Rico, where he witnessed significant paranormal and UFO activity firsthand. His work was profoundly shaped by mentors Pedro Ferriz (Mexican ufologist) and Salvador Freixedo (former Jesuit priest and paranormal researcher), whose interdimensional interpretation of UFO phenomena influenced Corrales's analytical framework.

Beginning in 1990, Corrales undertook the ambitious task of translating Freixedo's groundbreaking works into English, making decades of Spanish-language research and analysis available to English-reading audiences worldwide. This translation work proved pivotal—it revealed significant gaps in the English-language UFO literature regarding phenomena documented extensively in Latin American countries but largely invisible to mainstream Anglo-American ufology.

Inexplicata Journal and Hispanic Ufology

In 1998, Corrales founded the Institute of Hispanic Ufology and launched Inexplicata: The Journal of Hispanic Ufology, a scholarly publication dedicated to documenting unusual phenomena across Latin America, the Caribbean, and Spain. Inexplicata has become the primary English-language repository of translated and original research on humanoid encounters, UFO sightings, and paranormal events throughout the Spanish-speaking world. The journal serves as both archive and ongoing research platform, with Corrales personally editing, translating, and curating reports that would otherwise remain inaccessible to researchers outside Spanish-speaking regions.

Key Publications and Research

Corrales authored multiple monographs investigating specific paranormal phenomena:

• Chupacabras and Other Mysteries (1997), a comprehensive investigation of the notorious "goat sucker" animal mutilations and humanoid encounters that terrorized Puerto Rico and Central America in the mid-1990s
• Flashpoint: High Strangeness in Puerto Rico (1998), examining the island's concentration of UFO activity and anomalous phenomena
• The Chupacabras Diaries (1995), an early account of the emerging phenomenon
• Nemesis: The Chupacabras at Large (1995), tracking the entity's geographical spread

Beyond the chupacabras phenomenon, Corrales has documented hundreds of humanoid encounter cases, UFO landing sites with physical trace evidence, and animal mutilation patterns across Latin America. His translations of Freixedo and other Spanish-language researchers have introduced English speakers to decades of neglected but rigorous UFO investigation.

Research Methodology and Stance

Corrales takes a serious, academically-oriented approach to paranormal research, combining careful case documentation with analysis of cultural and paranormal factors. He advocates for Freixedo's interdimensional hypothesis as an explanatory framework for UAP phenomena, suggesting that many encounters represent incursions by non-human intelligences from alternate dimensional spaces rather than distant stellar systems. This stance positions his work between mainstream ufology and fringe paranormal research—grounded in documented cases and rigorous translation, yet open to paranormal and consciousness-based interpretations.

His work emphasizes that UFO phenomena exhibit regional variations and cultural contexts that Anglo-American research often overlooks. Latin American countries, particularly Puerto Rico and Mexico, have documented some of the highest concentrations of humanoid encounters and CE3 cases (close encounters with occupants) on record, yet these cases remain underrepresented in English-language ufology.

Ongoing Contributions

Corrales continues to edit Inexplicata and appears regularly on alternative radio programs including Coast to Coast AM. He maintains an active profile as an independent researcher, contributing articles and analyses to UFO research platforms and collaborating with other bilingual researchers to expand documentation of phenomena in underserved regions.
