1 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,280 Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning. 2 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,160 In this episode we're talking about Utah Bigfoot reports. 3 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,480 That's correct. Utah Bigfoot reports. 4 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,520 Found these over at bigfootreports.net. 5 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,800 That's bfro.net. Lots of cool reports over there. 6 00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:24,480 This first demo was reported on July 27th, 2006. 7 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:30,240 It says the actual day of the sighting was in August of 2001. 8 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:35,720 This was Beaver County, Utah Location details A remote wooded 9 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,720 area with lots of wildlife. Summers are nice and pleasant 10 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:41,960 while winters are extremely cold. 11 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,680 The area has streams, ponds, and lakes. 12 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,160 A beautiful place. To get there, take a road E out 13 00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:51,840 of Beaver for about 12 miles into the forest, then a dirt Rd. 14 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,200 for about 18 miles to Lebaron Reservoir. 15 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,360 You know, if you're like a lot of us and you don't live in 16 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:03,240 these remote areas, just imagine that 18 mile long dirt Rd. 17 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:05,560 Man, hard for me to even comprehend. 18 00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:11,280 Nearest town Beaver, Utah. Nearest road I-15 observed. 19 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,360 I'm glad I came across this site. 20 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,440 It has helped me deal with my experience. 21 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,320 In August 2001 while camping at Fish Lake National Forest, Utah, 22 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,880 my girlfriend, our dogs and I had an unforgettable experience. 23 00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:29,720 We often camp near Beaver, UT around July 4th, but due to the 24 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,360 crowds we started going in mid August to more remote areas to 25 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,320 get away from people. On a Wednesday morning around 26 00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:39,520 9:00 AM, we were fishing at Lebaron Reservoir. 27 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,600 The day was sunny and warming up, although the nights were 28 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,120 chilly. We hadn't seen anyone in or 29 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,040 around our camp or fishing spots for two days. 30 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,480 While standing at the water's edge casting my lure, I noticed 31 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,640 what I thought was a bear drinking from the lake about 200 32 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,280 yards away to my right. At my 2:00, I called my 33 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,520 girlfriend's attention to it. She's like me, nervous but also 34 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,560 intrigued. Then she said it's standing up. 35 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,920 I responded, wholly expletive. I've never been so scared in my 36 00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:13,800 life. Though I didn't feel directly 37 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,160 threatened, what we observed was something walking upright, like 38 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,000 a human, covered in dark brown hair. 39 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,360 It moved back into the woods and didn't seem to notice us or 40 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,560 didn't care that we were there. I'm convinced that what we saw 41 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,960 was Bigfoot, and there's no other animal that resembles what 42 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,840 we saw that day. We didn't investigate further. 43 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,480 Instead, we returned to camp, packed up, and went home. 44 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,280 Since then, we've gone back to camping around July 4th at 45 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,960 state-run Campgrounds. Wow, what a sighting. 46 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:51,880 Then again, 18 miles into the timber down Dirt Rd. it says. 47 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,600 Also notice everything seemed normal except for one odd 48 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,880 detail. This was the first and only time 49 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,400 my dog didn't bark at what appeared to be a hairy man. 50 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,400 She just stared at it like we did. 51 00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:05,560 Smart dog. Other witnesses too, including 52 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:06,840 myself. We were fishing. 53 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,760 Other stories, No time and condition. 9:00 AM. 54 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,520 Completely sunny, about 65° with a light breeze. 55 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,480 A small lake surrounded by pine and white trees with grassy and 56 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,720 rocky areas in some parts. Finished his follow up 57 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:25,000 investigation in a phone conversation on 9/12/2006. 58 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,680 The witness described the sighting in detail. 59 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,880 He first thought he saw a dark brown bear drinking at the edge 60 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,360 of the lake roughly 200 yards to his right. 61 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,960 He called his girlfriend to look and then the animal stood up. 62 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,720 At that point, he realized that the broad shouldered muscular 63 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,200 frame wasn't a bear. The couple watched as a creature 64 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,440 turned and retreated up the bank, pausing to look back 65 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,080 briefly. The Bigfoot then moved away from 66 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,000 the water, appearing to Bob sideways as it was looking at 67 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,280 something through the trees in another direction. 68 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,680 The couple left her camp in a hurry and never returned to that 69 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,440 area. They didn't discuss the 70 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,440 experience with anyone else until now. 71 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,320 The witness estimated the Bigfoot's height at six to seven 72 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,200 feet tall. He was particularly impressed by 73 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,360 its muscular and athletic build. The sighting lasted 74 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,920 approximately 10 seconds. Isn't that something? 75 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,839 Just imagine being out there, that remote of that area, just 76 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,920 saying Bigfoot just meltdown by the lake, getting a drink. 77 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,720 Very, very cool. Take a look at this next one. 78 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,040 This next one says submitted by witness MBD on Wednesday, May 79 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,560 12th, 1999. Tracks found by a family hunting 80 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,120 for arrowheads. The sighting happened in 81 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,200 November of 1997, also from Beaver County, Utah. 82 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,800 Location details are approximately 2 miles north of 83 00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:51,360 Manorfield between the highway and I-15 at the top of the hill 84 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,240 near the Manorfield exit. This location is almost directly 85 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:56,920 across the highway from Indian Creek. 86 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,440 Nearest town Manorfield. Nearest road I-15 near the top 87 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,560 of the hill at Manorfield exit. Well, searching for arrowheads 88 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,080 with my wife and sister-in-law, my wife called me over to look 89 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,920 at a track she had found. The track was in front of a 90 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,320 small cedar tree approximately 5 feet tall. 91 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,240 I spent a lot of time in the hills and mountains and am 92 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,040 familiar with different types of tracks, including bare tracks. 93 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,160 However, this was unlike anything I had ever seen. 94 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,840 The track had a shape similar to a human foot, but was much 95 00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:29,280 larger. I wore a size 10 1/2 cowboy 96 00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:32,440 boot, and the main portion of the track was about the same 97 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,800 length as my foot. However, the toes extended 98 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,120 another 7 to 9 inches beyond that. 99 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,800 The track was impressed into the earth approximately 1/2 inch. 100 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,400 The track measured 8 to 9 inches wide at its widest point and 101 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,280 five to six inches at its narrowest. 102 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,080 The foot appeared to be a left foot. 103 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,800 The most unusual feature was that the track had only three 104 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,120 toes. I don't know if this is common, 105 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,760 but this particular track clearly had only three toes. 106 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,280 It was well defined and I would estimate that it was made 107 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,600 earlier that same day. While searching further, I found 108 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,040 another track. This one was less definite but 109 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,120 appeared similar. It was located on the other side 110 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,880 of the cedar trees. The stride between the two 111 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,920 tracks was approximately 8 feet. Based on the positioning of the 112 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,200 tracks and the cedar tree, the creature would have had to step 113 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:32,760 over the five foot tall tree. The area is surrounded by cedar 114 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,120 trees. A large mountain range, 2 shower 115 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,400 range lies just to the east, while smaller range Mineral 116 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,440 Range is to the West. Location is near the bottom of 117 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,600 the valley between the two ranges, which are relatively 118 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:51,440 close together. I mean, just finding footprints 119 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,720 that big, my goodness, that'd be enough for me. 120 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,560 This says. Submitted by witness Michael 121 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:03,240 Stephen Ralph on Saturday, August 16th, 1997 sighting by by 122 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,080 grouse Hunters. The actual sighting was 123 00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:11,320 September 15th, 1976, Box Elder County, Utah, nearest town 124 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,760 Brigham City and Logan observed. The first encounter occurred 125 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,920 east of Brigham City, UT, above a place called Upper Docks Flat. 126 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,800 I was hiking with a friend, Kenny A. 127 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,400 I prefer not to use his last name without permission. 128 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,400 We had been hiking all morning, moving higher and higher through 129 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,200 the valleys and a zigzag pattern. 130 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,560 At one point we ascended a Ridge and found an old cabin at the 131 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,480 top. Locals referred to it as the Old 132 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,720 Sheepherder's Cabin. In front of the cabin was a 133 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,760 small pond with Clearwater, likely fed by a natural spring. 134 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,160 As we approached the cabin, my friend knelt by the pond to 135 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,840 drink from it. I started examining the smooth 136 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,360 dirt around the pond and noticed something unusual. 137 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,000 I asked Kenny if he noticed anything odd, and he said no. 138 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,080 I pointed out that there were no tracks around the pond, not even 139 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,280 bird tracks, despite its location. 140 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,640 This made Kenny nervous as he didn't share the same outdoor 141 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,600 curiosity that I did. After about 15 minutes, we 142 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,080 decided to head back. Halfway down the Ridge, Kenny 143 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,360 heard grouse or sage hens on the opposite side of the Canyon. 144 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,800 He wanted to hunt them, so I handed him a a disassembled 145 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,280 single shot shotgun from my backpack, gave him some shells, 146 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,360 and told him I'd stay on our side of the Canyon while he hung 147 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,280 on the other. I watched as he moved cautiously 148 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,320 down to the bottom of the draw. As he climbed up the opposite 149 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,320 slope, he encountered a dense, thorny brush which slowed him 150 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,559 down. I saw him struggle to entangle 151 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,480 himself in their branches as he moved forward. 152 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,960 Suddenly, Kenny screamed in pain, likely from a thorn 153 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,480 snagging his arm. At that moment, I heard a loud 154 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,160 crashing noise higher up on the slope, as if a massive rock had 155 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,920 been dropped from the sky. The sound repeated rapidly. 156 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,120 Thunk, thunk, thunk, like a large object hitting the ground. 157 00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:05,280 Scanning the hillside, I saw it. About 400 yards above Kenny, a 158 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,400 tall figure was running toward him. 159 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,120 My heart raced as I yelled for Kenny to get out of there. 160 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,840 He finally heard me and the approaching noise. 161 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,480 Turning to run back through the thorns in his panic, he 162 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,880 accidentally fired the shotgun. At the sound of the shot, the 163 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,400 figure stopped abruptly and then turned to retreat up the hill. 164 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,640 When Kenny reached me, he was out of breath, bleeding from the 165 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,840 thorns and visibly shaken. I reassured him that I saw the 166 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,960 figure run away after the shot. The figure I saw was 167 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,360 approximately 7 to 8 feet tall, covered in dark reddish brown 168 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,000 hair with a white cap. The initial distance was about 169 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,320 500 to 600 yards, but it got closer as it approached Kenny. 170 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,240 After we returned to our starting point, we left the area 171 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,240 as quickly as possible. It took Kenny nearly two weeks 172 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,280 before he was willing to talk about what happened. 173 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,120 I guess so it says. Also notice everything's here 174 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,400 normal until we reach the Canyon near the cabin. 175 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,520 Other witnesses. Kenny was attempting to cross to 176 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,240 the other side of the Canyon when he became caught in a thorn 177 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,520 Bush. From 1976 to 1978, I had three 178 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,960 separate encounters. If a credible researcher 179 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,360 contacts me, I'd be willing to share more details. 180 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,720 I've been an outdoorsman since childhood. 181 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,600 While most kids were afraid of the dark, I was sleeping under 182 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,040 the stars. At age 14, my father would leave 183 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,560 me alone in the mountains for a week, and I learned how to 184 00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:26,800 survive and feed myself. I've seen incredible things in 185 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,200 nature, as well as the events that defy that defy explanation. 186 00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:33,440 While I'm not an English major, I know what I saw and I 187 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,600 understand nature. And tends to destroy what he 188 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,800 fears or doesn't understand. Which is why I've only shared 189 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,400 this one incident so far. I have deep respect for nature, 190 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,760 which may come from the Native American blood in my veins. 191 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,760 I wish more people shared this respect. 192 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,000 It might lead to a healthier environment and fewer extinct 193 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,640 animals. This experience taught me that 194 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,360 life always has more to teach pretty well. 195 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,520 This is the environment. The sighting occurred on a sunny 196 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,720 afternoon with clear visibility in mild weather. 197 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,120 The area featured in the old cabin, a small pond, a variety 198 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,320 of trees, semi steep terrain as small meadows. 199 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:14,480 This one is dated October 20th, 2007, says Cache County, Utah. 200 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,920 Location details Wellsville Mountains West of Logan. 201 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,040 I was 21 years old and had returned about six months 202 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,960 earlier from living in Japan for two years. 203 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,000 The general season mule deer hunt had just opened and I 204 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,960 decided to go hunting one day after my college classes ended. 205 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,080 I remember thinking how frustrating it was to have to 206 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,760 attend classes during hunting season. 207 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,120 As I drove, more like slid my car up a snowy Rd. 208 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,240 I turned off the paved Rd. onto a farm Rd. passed a house under 209 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,640 construction and parked in a small trailhead lot. 210 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,480 And instead of hiking up the mountain, I walked a short 211 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,200 distance around a field and set down on a steep slope 212 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,760 overlooking a valley, a few hills and some trees. 213 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,880 I set with my binoculars watching deer bedded down in the 214 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,040 trees, wondering why they weren't forging for nuts or 215 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,440 grasses. As I watched, I heard a loud 216 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,360 crashing sound coming from the trees near the house and barn 217 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,280 that was under construction. It was so close to the house 218 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,680 that I thought it might have been watching them through my 219 00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:15,080 binoculars, I saw a large black shape moving through the heavy 220 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,040 cover. At first I thought it was a 221 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,080 black bear, but it didn't have the bouncing motion that bears 222 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,240 exhibit when they run. Due to their shorter front legs. 223 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,400 This creature moved gracefully. I watched as it plowed through a 224 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,640 thick brush like a bull reaching more open ground within the 225 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,560 trees. That's when I realized how 226 00:12:32,560 --> 00:12:35,920 strange it was. It was moving on two legs and at 227 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,160 an incredible speed. All the deer bolted, running in 228 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,960 the opposite direction, but I kept my binoculars trained on 229 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,040 that creature. In amazement. 230 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,720 I saw it head straight into a massive stand of buck brush, so 231 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,520 thick I couldn't imagine getting through it even with a machete. 232 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,600 Yet it bulldoze through the brush at a phenomenal pace and 233 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,480 disappeared over a Ridge in seconds. 234 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,640 I've haunted in hiked alone for years and have come face to face 235 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,040 with both black bears and mountain lions. 236 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,240 I've never been as terrified as I was in that moment. 237 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,360 I immediately chambered around my rifle and backed away, never 238 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,360 turning my back on the spot. I got in my car and left. 239 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,560 Since then, my dad, brother and brother-in-law and law 240 00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:19,800 enforcement wanted to return to the area because we've seen deer 241 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,640 there, but I refuse to go back. Even when I hunt the other end 242 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,360 of the Wellsville Mountains, I always stick with someone 243 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,320 because of this experience. It reminds me of some of these 244 00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:33,240 misery person cases where they find the bodies and the people 245 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,400 look like they've been drugged through the woods at high speed. 246 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,320 It's pretty awful thought thinking about some poor soul 247 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,000 being kidnapped at one of these Bigfoot. 248 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,640 And then just carry it through buck brush or timber or whatever 249 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,120 with the stuff, just striking it, you know, 20-30 mile an 250 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,760 hour, you just plow through it. It's almost inhuman, I mean the 251 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,280 way these things move. Also noticed after learning that 252 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,840 Bigfoot reportedly uses sticks or rocks to communicate, I 253 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,040 wondered if the creature was attracted at the sounds of 254 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,720 hammers and nail guns being used on the House under construction. 255 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,720 No other witnesses. Other stories? 256 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,200 I haven't heard of any other incidents in the area, but I 257 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,040 don't share this story often, only with close family members. 258 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,800 So as it was mid afternoon around 3:00 PM, Cold weather 259 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,040 with fresh snow on the ground, Overcast but still bright 260 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,960 environment. The valley has an old Creek that 261 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,520 flows in the spring to early summer surrounded by thick oak 262 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,760 brush and maples. The trees are more open in some 263 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,960 areas but the brush is extremely dense. 264 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,400 There was a follow up investigation done by Todd 265 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,360 Strong. It says the Wellsville Mountains 266 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,840 are a designated wilderness area known for being some of the 267 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,280 steepest and most rugged mountains in northern Utah. 268 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,160 The area has abundant wildlife including mule deer, but very 269 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,240 few roads and trails. After interviewing the witness, 270 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,920 I can add the following details. The witness was familiar with 271 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,600 the area, having haunted and scouted there before. 272 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,080 He has been hunting since he was 14 years old. 273 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,120 It was a clear afternoon and the witness observed the creature 274 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:06,040 for approximately 30 seconds. He clearly saw definition in the 275 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,840 creature's biceps, triceps, and abdominal muscles. 276 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,480 It was very muscular and athletic, moving uphill through 277 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:17,040 10 foot tall oak brush while using its arms to shield his 278 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,960 face for protection. The motion resembled that of a 279 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,440 massive football player bulldozing through a defensive 280 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,760 line. The witness doubted that he 281 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,360 could have even walked through the thick scrub oak, let alone 282 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,120 run through it. The witness is credible and 283 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,400 believable. Man, what a story. 284 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,040 This report was actually submitted on May 18th, 2008. 285 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,240 ATV writers describe dusk encounter in the Monte Cristo 286 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,880 mountain range. It happened in September of 287 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,400 1999. Cache County, Utah Nearest town 288 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:53,800 Huntsville nearest Rd. Ant Flat Rd. observed in late 289 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,480 September 1999. My seven-year old son and I were 290 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,560 working in the mountains above Huntsville, UT. 291 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,280 We were excavating a cabin site and decided to camp on site to 292 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,040 avoid the two hour commute each way. 293 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,480 We camped there for seven days. On the 5th day, after finishing 294 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,800 our work, we decided to go for a ride on the four Wheeler. 295 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,720 It was about an hour before sunset when we began our 296 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,160 journey. We rode for a while until we 297 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,080 decided to head back to camp. We turned around at what 298 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,400 appeared to be an old campsite just off the road. 299 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,040 By then the sun had set behind the mountains and the shadows 300 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,000 were blending together. It was quickly turning to dusk. 301 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,880 As we made the turn and started back onto the road, my son 302 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,160 tapped me on his shoulder and urged me to go faster. 303 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,400 I turned to see what he was looking at and couldn't believe 304 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,680 my eyes. About 50 feet away, a large, 305 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,360 upright creature was actually strolling parallel to us. 306 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:52,200 It stood about 7 to 8 feet tall and moved with a stride I will 307 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,840 never forget. It walked smoothly along an old 308 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,280 fence line and turned into the woods disappeared. 309 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,760 Its coloration was dark and it didn't seem to be coming toward 310 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,880 us. Out of panic I took off as fast 311 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,319 as I could and didn't turn back for a better look, something I 312 00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:10,040 deeply regret. When we arrived back at camp, 313 00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:14,119 about 5 miles down the mountain, we build a large fire and spent 314 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,480 a sleepless night thinking about what we'd seen. 315 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,119 Don't blame you. Other witnesses too. 316 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,000 My son and I Time and conditions. 317 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,119 It was dusk, I could see the figure but not much detail due 318 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,280 to the lighting. The weather had been clear all 319 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,600 day. Environment, Pine and quaking 320 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,160 Aspen trees. An old fence line surrounded 321 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,040 what seemed to be a former sheep camp. 322 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,080 A follow up investigation report. 323 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,960 I spoke with the father and son about this incident and found 324 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,000 them to be credible witnesses. The encounter remains a vivid 325 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,680 memory for both of them, even nine years later. 326 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:50,160 The location is approximately 25 miles east of Brigham City and 327 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:54,160 18 miles northeast of Huntsville in the Monte Cristo Range of the 328 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,240 larger Bear River Range in the Wasatch and Cash National 329 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,440 Forest. It is east of Ant Flat Rd. in 330 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,760 Ant Valley and South of the Hardware Ranch Wildlife 331 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,440 Management Area. The creature was walking 332 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,400 parallel to the witness, heading in the same direction as her 333 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:15,520 ATV, and was about 50 feet away at the time of the fence, on the 334 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,640 same side of the fence line. It did not look at them and 335 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,840 maintained a steady, casual pace. 336 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,960 Its movements were direct and deliberate, giving the 337 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,280 impression that it knew what it was doing and where it was 338 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,720 going. It disappeared into the nearest 339 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,880 cover of trees. The witness described its stride 340 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,680 as upright, stiff, and rigid, but smooth. 341 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,480 The figure was estimated to be at least 7 to 8 feet tall, 342 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,160 evenly dark colored, fairly broad but not overly huge. 343 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,960 It had long bangs and hair on its head, and its blocky head 344 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,280 was slightly leaned forward. The father estimated the 345 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,680 creature was in their sight for about 7 to 10 seconds and 346 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,160 covered roughly 100 feet during that time. 347 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,160 While it was nearing dusk, there was still enough daylight to see 348 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,600 clearly and the witnesses were confident about what they saw. 349 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,160 The father and son continued camping in the area for a few 350 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:13,360 more days to complete their job, but did not see or hear anything 351 00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:16,440 else unusual. Investigator David Petty. 352 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,880 Very, very cool stuff. We'll do about three more here 353 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,760 and then we'll wrap this up. This sighting here was actually 354 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,240 submitted April 3rd, 2001 by Bob Ellis. 355 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,320 Says white creature in Utah desert exhibits scouting 356 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:36,440 behavior on a Ridge above hikers, May 19th, 1994, Garfield 357 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,840 County, Utah. Nearest town Boulder, UT. 358 00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:41,200 Nearest Rd. Cannot remember the highway 359 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,920 number without a map observed in June 1996, I was hiking in the 360 00:19:46,120 --> 00:19:49,520 Escaloni Wilderness on a bench between the Gulch and Deer 361 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,200 Creek. There are several Stony rises 362 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,120 between the two areas and my friend and I had to cross the 363 00:19:55,120 --> 00:19:57,600 bench to reach our campsite at Deer Creek. 364 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,960 As we hiked westward, the sun was directly overhead. 365 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,160 I was the first to notice movement at the top of the rice, 366 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,840 less than a half a mile away and pointed it out to my companion. 367 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:09,840 We puzzled over what it could be. 368 00:20:10,360 --> 00:20:13,640 I've hiked in this area for over 15 years and I've never seen 369 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,760 anyone up on the bench at this time of day. 370 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,320 Although it had a human shape, it was too large and its collar 371 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,520 was strikingly white paperwhite, not a natural skin tone. 372 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,000 The creature appeared to be pacing, as if searching for 373 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,960 something. Suddenly, I became aware that it 374 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,120 had spotted us. It ducked behind the rocky 375 00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:35,480 outcroppings and was obscured from view. 376 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,080 As we approached the bench, we observed that the area where the 377 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,280 creature stood was on the highest point, requiring 378 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,160 significant climbing skills to reach. 379 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,160 Not knowing if it was dangerous or wanted to be left alone, and 380 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,360 being nearly exhausted from the hike and lower and low on water, 381 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,000 I decided we should continue hiking over the bench and down 382 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,480 to Deer Creek. About a half a mile down the 383 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,280 westward slope, we both felt like we were being watched. 384 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,520 When we turned to look back at the area where we had seen a 385 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,120 creature, it was watching us again, but quickly ducked out of 386 00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:09,320 sight. I wrote about the experience in 387 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,800 my journal, which I've kept for many years, but I am now 388 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,840 recounting it from memory. I've never thought of this as a 389 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,720 Bigfoot sighting because I'd never heard of a white Bigfoot. 390 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,720 However, a friend of mine who is a Bigfoot enthusiast directed me 391 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,560 to this site. I'm still unsure what it was, 392 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,720 though I'm relatively certain it wasn't human. 393 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,600 It was too large and entirely white. 394 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,360 It sounds like an albino Bigfoot to me. 395 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,320 This is also notice no additional observations 2 396 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,480 witnesses myself and my hiking companion. 397 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,760 Time and conditions Around 1:00 to 2:00 PM. 398 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,040 The weather was clear and dry. The area of the sighting was 399 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:49,040 free of trees and rush, but stone formations obscured the 400 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,440 creature at times. Environment The area was between 401 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,640 Deer Creek and the Gulch north of Escalant of the Escalante 402 00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:00,080 River and South of Boulder. Follow up report Additional 403 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,040 details emerged during phone conversations with Bob. 404 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,040 He is a guide in the area where the sighting occurred and has 405 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,120 been backpacking there annually for about 20 years. 406 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,480 Over this time, he has seen much wildlife but nothing resembling 407 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,680 what he saw that day. He also noted that he had never 408 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,200 encountered another person on the bench during his hikes. 409 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,720 The area is described as one of the most wild places in the 410 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,720 contiguous United States, located between Bryce Canyon, 411 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:32,000 Capitol Reef and Canyonlands National Parks and Glen Canyon 412 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,480 National Recreation Area. It is a desert of white and Hard 413 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:40,040 Rock, rolling hills, gullies, pinon pine, sagebrush, and 414 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,920 wildlife such as Beaver, Mountain Lion, deer and fish. 415 00:22:43,360 --> 00:22:46,280 The location has many canyons and Cliff dwellings. 416 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,600 Water is a limiting factor in this region, requiring both 417 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,120 humans and wildlife to stay near water sources or plan their 418 00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:55,840 movements accordingly. The Ridge where the white 419 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,800 creature was seen is approximately 1 and a half, 1 420 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,040 1/2 miles from Deer Creek. The creature was first observed 421 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,320 as Bob and his friend were ascending from the Golly onto 422 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,400 the bench. It was pacing back and forth in 423 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,000 the Ridge with one arm raised, shading his eyes, and seemed to 424 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,040 be searching the horizon. It was so intent on looking out 425 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,360 that it didn't notice the two hikers for about 10 to 15 426 00:23:18,360 --> 00:23:20,800 minutes. The creature was described as 427 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,240 being between 7:00 and 9:00 feet tall, pure white, capable of 428 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,400 agile movements. It would have blended with the 429 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,360 white rock if you'd from above, but from below it was visible 430 00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:34,960 against the blue sky. The hikers didn't feel afraid, 431 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,680 but chose not to approach it, much as one would avoid 432 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,680 approaching a bear. The witness was hesitant to 433 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,640 classify the creature as a Sasquatch, but conceded that it 434 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,080 was some sort of humanoid, too big and too agile to be human. 435 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,360 After hearing about white Sasquatch sightings from a 436 00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:53,320 trusted friend, Bob acknowledged that what he saw might have been 437 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,720 in one of those. Bob originally estimated the 438 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,760 sighting occurred in 1996, but after reviewing his journal, it 439 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,320 was determined to have taken place in 1994. 440 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,600 Yeah, what a cool sighting. We'll do two more here. 441 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,400 We're told this one was submitted January 10th, 2008. 442 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,440 Says trucker truck driver swerves to miss Bigfoot crossing 443 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,920 I-15 near Skipio. Actual sighting January 8th, 444 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,720 2008. So just a couple days before 445 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,200 they reported it. Millard County, Utah Location 446 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,040 details right on I-15 South of the freeway nearest town Skipio 447 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,360 nearest road I-15 Southside Observed. 448 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,840 Editor's Note. The original submission is from 449 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,000 the witness's mother, whom he called immediately after the 450 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,040 experience. ABFRO investigator subsequently 451 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,240 interviewed a witness. The notes from this interview 452 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,280 are shown below. This is not a second hand 453 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,200 report. Only first hand reports are 454 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:49,000 allowed in the BFR of a database with very limited exceptions. 455 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,400 Original Submission. I'm writing this for my son 456 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,240 David. He called me this morning around 457 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,840 1:30 AM. He was excited and upset, 458 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,960 telling me and his dad that he finally believes in Bigfoot. 459 00:25:00,360 --> 00:25:03,160 He was driving South on I-15 when he encountered fog. 460 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,920 He said he turned on his fog lights to see better without 461 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,280 using his main lights. He stated that he saw glowing 462 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,400 eyes and turned on his headlights only to see a Bigfoot 463 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,040 running in front of his semi truck. 464 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,960 He swerved to avoid hitting it. After getting the truck under 465 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,360 control, he pulled over to the side of the road, completely 466 00:25:21,360 --> 00:25:22,720 spooked. He said. 467 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,880 I know for a fact now that they exist. 468 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,960 He had always been skeptical, but described the creature as 469 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,920 looking like a girl's face. They made eye contact. 470 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,200 It walked upright like a man, but it was hairy over all. 471 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,280 He said his leg was the size of his entire body. 472 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,120 He asked me to write this for him. 473 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,040 He is now a true believer. Wow. 474 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,320 Notes from investigators interview with the witness. 475 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,200 This interview took place August 21st, 2008. 476 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,200 The witness described the incident as a hell of an 477 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,360 experience. At the time he was a truck 478 00:25:54,360 --> 00:25:58,440 driver like potatoes from Idaho heading South on I-15 towards 479 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,040 St. George, UT around 1:30 to 2:00 480 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,280 AM. He was driving uphill into a 481 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,720 patch of fog and turned on his fog lights. 482 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,000 Initially the fog wasn't too heavy, but as he reached the top 483 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,720 of the hill, shifted from 10th to 9th gear, it became denser. 484 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,320 At this point he noticed the reflection of glowing eyes, 485 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,120 which he assumed was a deer, off to the side of the road. 486 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,440 When he turned on his bright headlights, he saw Bigfoot, 487 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,480 described as a large upright creature, stride across the road 488 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,080 from left to right. The creature took long, 489 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,440 deliberate strides. The witness swerved to avoid 490 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,960 hitting it, momentarily losing control of his truck. 491 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,920 After driving another 200 to 300 yards, he pulled off to the side 492 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,760 of the road, shook up and scared. 493 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,760 Looking in his mirror, he kept replaying the event in his mind, 494 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,120 thinking, I'm getting the hell out of here. 495 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,320 Despite being skeptical of Bigfoot before, he said he knew 496 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,280 what he saw. The creature was unlike anything 497 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,640 he had encountered before. As an avid hunter, he spends 498 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,400 much of his free time outdoors. It has seen numerous bears and 499 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,760 wildlife. He is adamant that what he saw 500 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,800 was not a bear. The creature was initially 30 to 501 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,800 40 yards away when he first saw its glowing eyes, but it was 502 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,480 only 20 feet away when he turned on his bright lights. 503 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,920 He estimated the creature stood 8 to 10 feet tall, weighed 600 504 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,760 to 800 lbs, and had long, lanky arms that were that were 505 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,400 proportionally longer than a human's. 506 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,880 His face resembled a gorilla with prominent eyebrows and 507 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,080 black hair. The creature crossed the freeway 508 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,400 in just two or three strides. Although the witness only saw it 509 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,240 for about 10 seconds, he described the encounter as 510 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,800 terrifying, He later said. I swear up and down I know what 511 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,680 I saw. It looked right at me and that's 512 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,880 really cool. Also notice the witness called 513 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,080 his mother and stepfather immediately after the encounter 514 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,880 as he was extremely shaken. Other witnesses, none the 515 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,600 witness was alone. The witness's stepfather, also a 516 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,760 truck driver, reported a separate incident near Fillmore 517 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,880 at 3:00 AM the previous year. While taking his dog out of the 518 00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:03,240 truck, he heard a loud eerie noise resembling Bigfoot 519 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,960 vocalizations. He immediately got back into his 520 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,920 truck and left the area. He now avoids stopping there 521 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,120 Time and conditions around 1:25 AM with light to dense fog. 522 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,400 The area has a river running nearby with National Forest on 523 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,440 both sides of the freeway. In follow up investigation that 524 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,640 says reported by BFRO investigator Chad Hamblin, I 525 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,280 interviewed the witness and found him credible. 526 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,040 I believe he generally experienced what he described. 527 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,200 See the notes in the observed section above for more details 528 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:33,720 of my interview with the witness. 529 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,040 And then it says Chad Hamlin is a life science biology teacher 530 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,080 with a background in wildlife and outdoor activities. 531 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,040 He resides in rural northeastern Utah. 532 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:46,240 Chad participated in the first Utah BFR expedition in 2007 and 533 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,960 subsequent expeditions in O 9 and 2010. 534 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,480 He also attended expeditions in Wyoming in O 8, Bluff Creek, 535 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,720 California in 2011, in Idaho 2013. 536 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,760 Recently Chad had his own Bigfoot encounter while hiking 537 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,040 alone in Utah's unit of mountains. 538 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,840 OK, well I can believe it. Spending that much time in a 539 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:06,520 deep force like that. Very cool. 540 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,040 OK one last one. So here's our last report here. 541 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:14,800 This says it was submitted December 10th, 2008 to all 542 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,440 countries. And a tall bipedal creature 543 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:20,520 startle each other at Chalk Creek east of Coalville. 2004 544 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,920 fall October September time frame Summit County Utah 545 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,960 location details the area is CWMUS cooperative wildlife 546 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,840 management unit unit known as thousand peaks nearest town 547 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:38,680 coalville nearest Rd. chalk Creek Rd. observed I was hunting 548 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,960 with my brother-in-law and chalk Creek Summit County Utah. 549 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,960 We had been in a deep Canyon for some time and decided to head 550 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,760 out as it was getting dark. The memory is still vivid. 551 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,000 We were climbing out of a small draw onto a flat Meadow. 552 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,000 As we reached the top we both noticed something very black 553 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,160 moving into a small stand of pine trees. 554 00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,160 It made out loud a wolf sound as it entered the trees and we saw 555 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,400 a pine bough flip from the ground to about 5 feet in the 556 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,360 air. In other words, this thing I'd 557 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,040 bent this tree over. My brother-in-law exclaimed. 558 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,600 What the heck was that as he loaded around into the Chamber 559 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,840 of his rifle. The stand of Pines was no larger 560 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,160 than a front yard with the turning behind it. 561 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,560 I thought about this many times and believed that we startled 562 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,840 the creature and it surprised us as well. 563 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,200 The creature was to our left while a Beaver Dam lay to our 564 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,040 right. It was only about 30 feet away, 565 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,080 partially concealed in the Pines. 566 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,000 We were on a deer path between the pond and the trees. 567 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,080 When we backed up, the creature emitted a low guttural sound and 568 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:39,520 we could hear its teeth chattering. 569 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,680 I have experienced a fear before, but this was different. 570 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,960 It felt like a sense of evil. On my way home, we discussed 571 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,840 what we had seen. We were so close to it that I'm 572 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,920 certain it wasn't a bear or a moose. 573 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,320 Bears don't move that fast on their hind legs. 574 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,400 I used to work at a Lagoon amusement park in Farmington 575 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,560 where I fed the animals. There was a leopard there that 576 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,320 would growl as you passed his cage. 577 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,600 The growl we heard on the mountain was almost identical to 578 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,040 that, but deeper and more menacing. 579 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:12,160 I've spent my entire life in the outdoors hunting and exploring, 580 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:16,320 but I've never seen or heard anything like this before. 581 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,320 Please give me a call. Wow. 582 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,800 Also notice I don't have a cell phone. 583 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:38,760 I'll provide my brother in I hadn't even mentioned Bigfoot 584 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,240 yet, he said I was the second person to report a sighting in 585 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,720 that same area. Time and conditions. 586 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,240 It was dusk environment of pine forest mixed with quaking Aspen. 587 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,320 Follow up investigation by BFRO investigator Todd Strong. 588 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,280 After interviewing the witness, I can add the following details 589 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,880 to his original account. The witness has worked as a 590 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,840 licensed hunting guide and is also a wildlife artist. 591 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,040 At the time of the incident, it was still wide enough to be 592 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,920 considered shooting light. The hunters surprised the 593 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,160 creature by walking with the wind in their faces, meaning it 594 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,640 couldn't detect them until they stepped into the clearing. 595 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,640 When they entered the clearing, the creature woofed at them, 596 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,920 moving a pine bow out of its way as it retreated into the trees. 597 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,080 They could only see the creature's upper body from about 598 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:27,200 5 feet off the ground upward, as the lower portion was obscured 599 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,640 by the drain. The estimated height of the 600 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,120 creature was about 9 feet. The witness is adamant that it 601 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,680 was a bipedal animal moving upright. 602 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,040 Its coat appeared to be jet black hair. 603 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,520 Not for After the growl, the creature clicked his teeth 604 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,280 together in a manner reminiscent of a cornered dog. 605 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,040 The noise was unsettling and reinforced their decision to 606 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,240 leave the area immediately. The witness described himself as 607 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,880 an experienced outdoorsman and emphasized that this was unlike 608 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:56,840 anything he had encountered before. 609 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,240 Under investigator notes, it says this area consists of 610 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,920 several small private ranches with abundant wildlife, 611 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,400 including deer and elk. The witness has agreed to take 612 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,680 me to the location in the spring. 613 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,280 Based on my interview, I found the witness to be credible and 614 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,200 sincere. What a cool sighting. 615 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,720 Sounds like a big one there. Just walked right up on this 616 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,760 thing out in this wilderness area. 617 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,400 Lots of cool stuff over at bfro.net. 618 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,000 As always, thanks to the folks over there that send these in, 619 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,080 and thanks to the folks that keep the site going. 620 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,960 What an asset we have there. Very much appreciate that. 621 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,160 Until next time, this is UFO warning over and out.
