What the record resolves

A body

The record carries a face, a head, eyes, skin, hands or proportions.

Ninety centimetres, hair-covered, no nose, shining eyes, four clawed fingers. Unusually complete for the period.

On that description this archive reads the form as Other morphology. That is a reading of recorded words, not the record classifying itself.

The record

An official file preserves that a report was made and examined. It does not, by itself, establish what was seen.

UNVERIFIED - named officers, log time, treating station and radiograph described at https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/ce3/1954-11-29-venezuela-petare.htm

No document is attached yet. The retrieval is open work.

What is not settled

Nothing primary is in hand. The bruises are equally consistent with a road accident or a fight. The 1954 Venezuelan hairy-dwarf reports arrived in a compressed cluster during intense national press coverage, a classic contagion pattern. Venezuela has no UAP body whose archive could be audited.
