Key to working that out could be this giant telescope in the jungle – the Arecibo Radio Telescope. ibid.
This is also true: The jungles of Puerto Rico were very similar to Vietnam and the US military wanted to see if its de-foresting agent would work, but here’s where it gets really interesting.

The US military exploited the vampire myth by draining the blood from killed soldiers, and leaving their corpses on display to strike fear into the enemy. Orlando goes one step further: he believes that the CIA actually tried to create a blood-sucking monster. Orland believes experiments actually took place and that the Chupacabra is the result. ibid.
