1 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,560 Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning. 2 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,280 In this episode, we're looking at Bigfoot reports from Iowa. 3 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,080 That's correct, Bigfoot reports from Iowa. 4 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,040 I just want to apologize. I haven't been able to do much 5 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,200 the last couple days. I had an incident where my leg 6 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,120 was injured pretty good. So I've just been laying around 7 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,480 for the past couple of days waiting for the swelling to go 8 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,520 down. Looks like it's going to be fine 9 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,040 but it's just put me out of Commission for a little bit. 10 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,800 Apologize for that. This first article that we're 11 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:37,600 looking at, this first report came in on November 20th, 2006. 12 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,600 It says two men remember hearing a bone chilling scream or parked 13 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,000 at a lookout point in Stone State Park. 14 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,680 The actual date on this is the summer of 1970. 15 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:49,760 Happened in Woodbury County, Iowa. 16 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,360 Says location details Lookout point and Stone park nearest 17 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,360 town Sioux City, IA nearest Rd. Highway 12. 18 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,400 So I'd be close here in western Iowa, observed in the summer of 19 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,200 1970. Being young and still interested 20 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,800 in kissing girls, I had a unique experience. 21 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,840 We were riding around in my 1962 convertible with a top down on 22 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,720 the edge of town. There was a park, Stone State 23 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:20,040 Park, consisting of 1132 acres surrounded by farms and 24 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,600 overlooking the Big Sioux River which divides Iowa and South 25 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,400 Dakota. We decided to go to the lookout 26 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,320 point at the park and parked for a while. 27 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,320 It was a beautiful summer night, just light enough to see in the 28 00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:36,640 dark. When we arrived, the girl I was 29 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,320 with and I decided to take a blanket and place it on a flat 30 00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:43,840 spot about 20 or 30 feet from the edge of the parking lot 31 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,840 overlooking the river. To one side of where we placed a 32 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,840 blanket, there were trees and bushes. 33 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,560 The other couple remained in the back seat of the car with the 34 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,280 top down. We had been there for no more 35 00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,600 than 15 minutes or so and I was on a blanket kissing when all of 36 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,680 a sudden something in the bushes beside us screamed at the top of 37 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,440 its lungs. The volume was mind blowing. 38 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,960 As we ran, the scream seemed to still be directed toward us. 39 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,720 I didn't even open the car door, I just jumped in and I think the 40 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,240 girl with me did the same, although we were only kissing 41 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,560 almost immediately and for about 35 years. 42 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,120 I believe the scream has something to do with babies. 43 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,720 For all the time I thought she screamed at us because it was 44 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,640 the wrong time of year for us to even think about such a thing, 45 00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:36,720 and thus we got screamed at. Until now. 46 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,800 Recently Captain Kilmore posted a link to sightings on a forum. 47 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,600 When I read it, I started thinking I may have found the 48 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,000 answer to why I had been associated the experience with 49 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,680 babies all these years and at the time. 50 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,960 At the time and for almost 35 years, it was just a sixth sense 51 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,240 of feeling. The scream as it went on sounded 52 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,680 just like a human woman, except louder, unbelievably loud. 53 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,560 We were lying on the blanket not making any sound or movement. 54 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,800 I believe the creature had heard the car pull up and was going to 55 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:18,640 check out from a safe distance. In August 1974 a 3 1/2 foot tall 56 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,040 young 1 was observed in a garden near that area along with a 7 57 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,280 foot tall one. I'm assuming they mean Bigfoot. 58 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,440 A full grown 7 foot Bigfoot would most likely be female. 59 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,480 What I heard sounded exactly like a woman. 60 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,160 I now believe that when she was sneaking up to check out the 61 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,160 people in the car, she had a much smaller young one with her. 62 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,680 She didn't know I was lying by the bushes until she practically 63 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,080 was on top of me. Then she freaked out. 64 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,600 That's what that's just what I believe happened. 65 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,920 Now, could it be wrong question mark? 66 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,360 Possibly. But that sixth sense feeling 67 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,360 about it being related to babies has carried with me for almost 68 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,200 35 years. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm not. 69 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,080 If the admins wish to, I am me. I will give them the phone 70 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,520 number to contact the guy who was in the back seat of the car 71 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,440 That says other witnesses. Yes, and one of them may be 72 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,800 contacted. Other stories OK here it goes 73 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,800 the link but I went to the link and the link was dead then it 74 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:25,800 says Summer 1971 Stone park near Sioux City IA Gary Parker and 75 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,400 two friends saw Bigfoot on a hilltop. 76 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:33,800 Earlier a group of teenagers in a car had a hit had hit a man 77 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,800 like creature in the same park. January 1972 near near Stone 78 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:44,560 Park, Sioux City, IA Jim Britton saw a 7 foot Bigfoot with six 79 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,320 inch brown hair. When he shot at it, it ran away 80 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,160 in all fours. End of August 1974 Sioux City, 81 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,600 IA a man who saw Bigfoot outside his house. 82 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,400 August 1974 Sioux City, IA a woman saw Bigfoot only 3 1/2 83 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,720 feet tall eating tomatoes in her garden. 84 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:06,720 Front footprints were found. In 1974 near Stone Park, Sioux 85 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,440 City, IA, a man wounded a Bigfoot with a deer rifle. 86 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,640 I have also heard several stories about them in that area, 87 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,280 but none since someone shot her. Timing conditions, light at 88 00:05:18,280 --> 00:05:22,320 night, very nice weather, just light enough to see environment 89 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,000 overlooking the Big Sea River and South Dakota. 90 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,840 Across the river. Wooded overlooking South 91 00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:31,600 Dakota's flat farm lands. Very interesting. 92 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,560 Go ahead and look at the follow up report here. 93 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,400 The follow up investigation was done by Steve, Moon says. 94 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,880 I spoke with the witness on the phone and found him to be very 95 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,160 credible. He recounted the incident, which 96 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,560 occurred nearly 40 years ago, in vivid detail. 97 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,400 At the time of the consequence, the witness was aware of a large 98 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,480 human creature but had no idea what it was. 99 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:59,320 In 1966, after returning from Vietnam, he was hunting for deer 100 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,000 along the Missouri River on the Missouri side, across from Fort 101 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,960 Leavenworth. He was walking in the woods at 102 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,640 Daybreak with an inch or two of fresh snow on the ground. 103 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,560 On his way in he had not seen any other vehicle tracks so he 104 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,840 knew he was alone. He came across a set of large 105 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,760 human like tracks. The prints were perfect and had 106 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,160 to be fresh. His size 11 combat fits boots 107 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,440 fit inside the prints making his feet look small by comparison. 108 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,880 He decided to track the animal. At one point it backtracked, 109 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,800 paralleling its original path about 20 feet to the right side 110 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,120 for 20 to 30 yards before stopping next to a Willow tree 111 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,480 where it stripped back. It then headed toward the river 112 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,040 through thick brush. At that point, the witness 113 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,480 decided to focus on deer hunting. 114 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,360 A few years later, in 1970, he was driving with his nephew and 115 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,280 two girls. They stopped at Dakota Point and 116 00:06:56,280 --> 00:07:00,240 Stone State Park on the north edge of Sioux City, IA. 117 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,960 His nephew Bob stayed in the back seat of his convertible 118 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,800 while the witness and his companion took a blanket and 119 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,440 walked toward an overlook at the Big Sioux River just a few feet 120 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,440 West of the car. The parking area was gravel at 121 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,120 the end and the witness had parked his car in the center of 122 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,880 the small lot facing out. It was likely around midnight or 123 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,280 1:00 AM. The weather was dry with dust on 124 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,680 the gravel road and completely dry of grass. 125 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,200 No Dew. The witness believes a female 126 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,800 Bigfoot approached them from behind, coming from the 127 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,000 northwest, a trail leading into the woods, and that direction 128 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,440 may have been its route. Before the scream. 129 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,280 There was total silence, no sounds at all. 130 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,480 The witness described the scream was something out of a 131 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,600 nightmare. He and his companion reacted 132 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,800 instantly, leaping up in terror and running to the car without 133 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,600 even opening the door. He started the engine, put the 134 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,560 car in gear and speed away, spraying gravel as they fled, 135 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,840 leaving the blanket behind. At the time, the witness was 24 136 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,920 years old and his nephew Bob was 19. 137 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:16,120 The car was a Robin egg blue 1962 Chevy Impala convertible. 138 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,080 Well, he wouldn't like to have one of those today. 139 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,360 The ground where they had been lying was level. 140 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,640 The screen came from above them, meaning the Bigfoot had to be 141 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,800 within a few feet. They had not heard any approach. 142 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,240 The witness could not compare the scream to anything. 143 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,120 It was as loud as standing in front of a concert speaker, 144 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,679 vibrating through his body. The scream lasted long enough 145 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,559 for them to reach the car. As they jumped in, the pitch of 146 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,080 the scream changed, becoming much higher, resembling a woman 147 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,400 screaming. The witness described other 148 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,200 incidents that occurred around the same time. 149 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,280 In 1975, he spoke with a Sioux City police Sergeant about a 150 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,960 reported Bigfoot sighting in Riverside. 151 00:08:55,040 --> 00:09:00,000 In Riverside, a northern suburb near Stone State Park, the 152 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,640 Sergeant, part of AK-9 unit, said a Bigfoot had been seen on 153 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,680 a house's porch before scaling A10 foot fence. 154 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,080 The police dog refused to track it. 155 00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:13,240 This correspondence to John Greene's database incident 156 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:19,600 991084 dated 1974. In 1974, a witness reportedly 157 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,040 shot a Bigfoot with a high-powered rifle and four 158 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,440 teenagers allegedly ran over a small one with their car. 159 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,920 According to witnesses, there have been no There have been no 160 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,800 reports of Bigfoot in the area since these incidents however, a 161 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:38,240 sighting and tracks from 1997 were recorded in John Greene's 162 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:45,120 database. 992833 Sioux City Journal and August 9th, 1997 I 163 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,880 was I also conducted a telephone interview with Bob, the 164 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,360 witness's nephew, who had been in the back seat of the car. 165 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,800 I found him to be very credible as well. 166 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,280 He confirmed that the incident took place at the lookout point 167 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,160 in Stone Park, just north of the Riverside area of Sioux City. 168 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,920 While there had been sightings and tracks reported in the area, 169 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:07,920 he had previously dismissed them. 170 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,480 That night they were at the park with two girls and his friends. 171 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,640 62 Chevy Impala convertible. He vividly remembers that car, 172 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,400 his friend said. One of the girls had gone down 173 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:23,000 over a ledge when suddenly a horrendous screech rang out. 174 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,640 It was so close that it could have been right next to the car. 175 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,040 The hair on the back of his head stood up. 176 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,040 It was a dark night of stars with no moon. 177 00:10:32,560 --> 00:10:34,440 He looked around but saw nothing. 178 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,000 His friend ran back to the car, jumped in and started the engine 179 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,760 while the girls he was with ran after him, shouting, wait for 180 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,080 me. The scream was bone chilling. 181 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,120 Just minutes before, the area had been eerily still. 182 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,560 No crickets, no sounds. The witness recalls the incident 183 00:10:51,560 --> 00:10:54,680 occurring in June or July of 1970. 184 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,480 He also mentioned that Sioux City Journal archives from that 185 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,800 period might contain articles about Bigfoot activity in the 186 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,120 Riverside area, including reports of rated gardens, 187 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,280 missing poultry, and sightings.

Then it says about investigator 201 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,440 Steve Moon. A native of southeast Iowa, 202 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,280 Steve has long been a cave explorer and outdoor adventurer. 203 00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:12,240 He became involved in Bigfoot research in 2008. 204 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:18,920 Steve organized BFRO Iowa Public Expeditions in 2011, 2012, 1314, 205 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:23,440 and 16 is currently organizing a 2017 Iowa Expedition. 206 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,040 Of course, this is pretty old sighting. 207 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,520 He's an artist, photographer, farmer, anthropologist, and 208 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,000 professional researcher. His primary focus is on the 209 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,800 river basins of the Mississippi River and tributaries, as well 210 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,640 as all of eastern Iowa. Wow, what a sighting. 211 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,160 This next case was reported in the fall of 2006. 212 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,440 It says November actually. Washington County, Iowa, nearest 213 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:53,120 town Willman Hwy. 22, they say. I was hunting in my uncle's 214 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,000 timber around 5:30 PMI decided to head out. 215 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,640 As I walked back to my truck following a well travelled 216 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,480 trail, I heard a noise on the north side of the dried up 217 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,600 riverbed. I looked over and raised my gun 218 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,680 thinking it might be a deer. As I followed the movement 219 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,480 through my scope, I realized it was much larger than a deer. 220 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,240 It stood about two feet taller than a deer or human. 221 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:23,280 It was solid black, covered in hair, running away from me at an 222 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,320 incredible speed despite moving through dense brush. 223 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,520 I became scared because I couldn't explain what I had just 224 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,120 seen. Panicked, I ran to my truck and 225 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,760 left. Other witnesses now on time and 226 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,920 conditions. 5:30 PM. There was still enough light for 227 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,840 me to see clearly. Oak Maple Forest follow up 228 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,880 investigation by investigator Steve Moon. 229 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,080 In a phone interview, the witness provided additional 230 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,080 details about the encounter. The dried up riverbed between 231 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,320 the witness and the creature was 30 to 40 yards wide with trees 232 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,040 along the bottom. This means the creature was 233 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,400 observed approximately 30 to 40 yards away. 234 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,600 The witness later returned to the area with a friend and stood 235 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,640 near the trees where the creature had been. 236 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,200 He confirmed that his own height was nowhere near that of the 237 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,640 creature. While the witness could not see 238 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,080 the creature's face as it was running away, he noted that it 239 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,160 had an elongated head. The creature moved very fast, 240 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,360 like a person running through the dense woods, even though 241 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,600 there was no visible trail. It held its arms up at shoulder 242 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,360 height, making boxing like movements as it ran. 243 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,600 Its arms were muscular, with a good definition visible through 244 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,440 the hair on its back. The same was true for its legs, 245 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,960 with the lower legs as thick as the upper. 246 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,200 The witness stated that after the sighting he could no longer 247 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,880 go into the woods alone, explaining that something with 248 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,320 that much mass could be extremely dangerous. 249 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,360 Once the creature was out of sight, the witness spreaded back 250 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,400 up to his truck. At the time of the sighting, the 251 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,800 witness was 24 years old and extensive outdoor experience. 252 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,960 He was found to be credible. The sighting occurred in a small 253 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,000 3rd order perennial river that drains into a large tributary of 254 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,720 the Mississippi River in southeastern Iowa. 255 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,200 The valley is densely wooded and surrounded by farmland. 256 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,720 The Greenbelt formed by the timber along the river extends 257 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,080 continuously to the Mississippi River approximately 30 miles 258 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,520 away, following the river's general path. 259 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,000 The weather in the upper Mississippi during the fall of 260 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:34,080 2006 was unseasonally warm, with an average temperature of 51° in 261 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:40,440 October and 44° in November. And the siding area, Wow, really 262 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:41,680 something. Just seeing this thing out the 263 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,680 side of the truck window. Here's one that was submitted 264 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:49,800 October 24th, 2017. Looks like it happened November 265 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:54,560 13th back in 1982. Warren County, Iowa Location 266 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,560 details E on Main Street out of Carlisle to the first left 267 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,560 nearest town Carlisle Hwy. 65. My brother-in-law and I were 268 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,160 hunting geese in a harvested soybean field about a mile east 269 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,040 of Carlisle, IA. We were concealed in our blind 270 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,240 along a fence line when we noticed movement in the east. 271 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,360 What we saw resembled many of the pictures we had seen before. 272 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,040 The creature, if that's what it was, stood estimated 6 1/2 feet 273 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:27,440 to 7 1/2 feet tall. It was bent over black in color 274 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,640 and walking faster than we had ever seen a human move. 275 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,040 We left her blind and walked over to where we had seen it, 276 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,280 but the ground was frozen so there were no tracks. 277 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,400 This area was vacated in the 1960s as part of the Red Rock 278 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,760 Lake project by the core engineers. 279 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,760 We agreed not to say anything at the time because we didn't want 280 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,800 to be called crazy. However, my brother-in-law 281 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,600 reminded me of the encounter. I felt I could tell someone 282 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,000 before I'm gone. Other witnesses, two of us, we 283 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,680 were in our duck fell blind. Other stories and reported time 284 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,640 and conditions around 10:00 AM.

Flat farmland near the Des 286 00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:09,560 Moines and Middle rivers with wooded area along both rivers. 287 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,960 Follow up investigation by BFO investigator TK Bill. 288 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,680 In addition to the original report, the witness stated that 289 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,599 it was an overcast, cold morning around 9:00 to 10:00 AM. 290 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,000 The creature was approximately 100 yards away from the duck 291 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,440 blind. They observed it in profile as 292 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,680 it moved in quickly stooped over, headed north toward the 293 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,880 gravel pit. The creature covered about 50 294 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,960 yards and roughly 20 steps before disappearing from view. 295 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,160 It's estimated height was being 7 and 8 feet tall. 296 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,760 When they approached the area, they found no tracks as it had 297 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,720 been walking on a gravel Rd. There was no odor detected where 298 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,480 it passed and no sound was heard during the sighting. 299 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,160 Later, the property owner's grandson asked if they had seen 300 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,120 anything unusual. The witnesses shared the story, 301 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,680 and it has been said that other hunters and locals have reported 302 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,600 similar sightings in the area. I find the witness to be 303 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,800 credible. Wow, says investigator TK Bell. 304 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,600 Iowa native attended multiple BFR public and private 305 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,960 expeditions.

It says Tuesday, May 15th, 2001. 308 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,400 Campers visited in the middle of the night and hear 309 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,920 vocalizations. The year was 1999, December 310 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,240 12th, Pottawattamie County, Iowa. 311 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,280 Location details. Travel N on I-29 to Loveland, 312 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,360 Iowa, then head W about 5 miles. The campground is located 313 00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:39,240 directly on the Missouri River just north of DeSoto Bend, 314 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,640 approximately 10 miles north of Omaha, NE as the crow flies. 315 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,840 Nearest town Missouri Valley, nearest road I29. 316 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,320 My name is Todd Davis, My friend Brian Jay and I went camping at 317 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,760 Wilson Island State Park which is connected to DeSoto Bin 318 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,160 National Wildlife Refuge in Iowa. 319 00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,200 Here's my count of what happened. 320 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,000 At approximately 255, AMI was awakened by the sound of 321 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,680 footsteps and the dry leaves. Whatever it was circled my tent, 322 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,280 then stopped directly behind my head. 323 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,560 Half awake, I assumed it was Brian getting up to use the 324 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,840 bathroom in the bushes. However, I then heard Brian 325 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,000 unzipping his tent and realized it wasn't him. 326 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,240 As I jumped up to go outside, whatever had been behind my tent 327 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,920 took off, crushing through the trees and heading toward the 328 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,320 Missouri River about 300 yards from our campsite. 329 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,400 When we both climbed out of our tents, we were shaken. 330 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,360 Brian had assumed I was walking around his tent trying to scare 331 00:19:38,360 --> 00:19:40,640 him. When we realized we had both 332 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:45,000 been inside our tents at the same time, we were left with an 333 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,760 with an eerie feeling. What disturbed us most was that 334 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,960 we were the only people in the campground. 335 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,360 We briefly considered the possibility of a hunter, but why 336 00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:59,080 would a hunter be wandering through a State Park at 2:55 AM? 337 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,080 Neither of us saw anything, but I had never felt that kind of 338 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,720 unease before. The entire night, we both had 339 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,800 the unsettling sense of being watched. 340 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,920 Yeah, I guess so. Earlier that evening, around 341 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,440 8:00 PM, we heard several screams. 342 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,000 The sounds resembled either a woman crying or the distressed 343 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,960 call of a rabbit being killed. Aside from that, the night was 344 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,120 unusually still and quiet. Other witnesses Just me and my 345 00:20:26,120 --> 00:20:29,840 friend Brian, we didn't see anything, but we heard what we 346 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,400 thought were heavy footsteps around the campsite. 347 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,360 They were loud enough to wake us up. 348 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,480 Other stories About 10 years ago, I heard a story of a truck 349 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,400 driver who saw something across the highway near Estherville, 350 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,000 IA. It was reportedly covered in 351 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,280 brownish orange hair and stood about 6 feet tall. 352 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,240 Timing Conditions Early morning 2:55 AM. 353 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,440 The night was clear with no moonlight, Mall temperatures for 354 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:57,000 December around 32° and no wind. Environment The area consists of 355 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,880 floodplains and dense Cottonwood trees with abundant underbrush, 356 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,840 creeks and ponds. Location is approximately 8 357 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,080 miles West of the Los Hills. Very cool. 358 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,320 Follow up investigation report says After speaking with Todd on 359 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,960 the phone and following up on additional questions, I find it 360 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,400 likely that a Sasquatch investigated their campsite that 361 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,120 night. Given the time, the time of the 362 00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:22,400 night, and the specific vocalizations they described, 363 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,960 the encounter strongly suggests Sasquatch activity. 364 00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:29,120 Other known species do not fit the description, especially when 365 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,040 considering both the vocalizations and their volume. 366 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,800 Additionally, supporting details include the sound of heavy 367 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,640 footsteps in their tents followed by a loud crashing 368 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,840 noise as it as the entity fled into the rush. 369 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,960 Todd was completely convinced that something largely visited 370 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:49,040 them, and he emphasized how nerve wracking that experience 371 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,160 was. He also mentioned that the 372 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,680 vocalizations closely matched several audio recordings 373 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,120 available on research websites. Very cool. 374 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,440 This was reported on Friday, May 26th, 2006. 375 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,640 Foot tall or taller black creature observed leaping into 376 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:10,080 the air and disappearing into the trees on a bike trail near 377 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,000 the Des Moines River. Now the actual event was 378 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,480 February 2000, says Polk County, Iowa. 379 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,560 Location details on the bike trail running down Birdland 380 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:26,280 Marina South end and Big Creek North End between Euclid Ave. 381 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,760 and Birdland Marina within the city limits of Des Moines. 382 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,600 The area is rugged, close to the Des Moines River with ravines 383 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,680 and many fallen tree branches. Not smooth like a football 384 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,600 field. Nearest town Des Moines, Nearest 385 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,360 Rd. between Euclid Ave. and Birdland Marina observed. 386 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,280 I heard a deer approaching from my left as I was heading down 387 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,600 the trail. It was moving in the opposite 388 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,400 direction about 100 feet away and kept glancing over its right 389 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,480 shoulder as if something was following it. 390 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,840 Curious about what it was looking at, I looked in my head 391 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,720 slightly and that's when I saw it. 392 00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:02,800 At first I thought it was a human. 393 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,360 It had a head, shoulders, arms, legs and a chest. 394 00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:11,320 However, when it was when it saw me at a distance of about 300 395 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,120 feet, it crouched slightly, similar to how a deer prepares 396 00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:18,880 to take flight. When it suddenly turned 90°, 397 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:23,280 leaping and bounding through the air with both feet off the 398 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,560 ground, it made another sharp 90° turn left and disappeared 399 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,280 into the trees. I could see its black figure 400 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,480 slipping behind and between the trees as it vanished. 401 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,440 The entire siding lasted no more than three seconds. 402 00:23:37,120 --> 00:23:41,880 It moved incredibly fast, taller than six feet, black, slim and 403 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,880 unbelievably quick. It was faster than a deer. 404 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,880 Imagine an Olympic class sprinter launching into a 100 405 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,520 yard dash. Now multiply that speed by two 406 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,480 or three. It was that quick. 407 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,040 Also noticed nothing else unusual. 408 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,000 Other witnesses. I wasn't the only one to see it. 409 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,680 I saw the deer 1st and it was A and it was in a big hurry to 410 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,480 leave the area. No other reports that I know of. 411 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,040 Time and conditions. 5:00 PM. There was about an inch of snow 412 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,080 on the ground and plenty of daylight. 413 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,840 The creature stood out clearly against the snowy landscape and 414 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,160 bear bark trees environment. The city is forest with no 415 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,080 leaves on the ground providing excellent visibility. 416 00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:23,960 The land was rugged with ravines and fallen branches. 417 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,520 Snow covered the ground and their bare tree trunks were 418 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,600 brown on Gray. Follow up investigation by BFL 419 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,320 investigator John Green Eyewitness Jim J holds ABA in 420 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,480 Anthropology and has been a 30 year employee of the State of 421 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,040 Iowa Department of Revenue. During a phone interview, Jim 422 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,480 mentioned that the Des Moines Sunday Register reported similar 423 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,000 sightings many years ago. Some of these incidents also 424 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,480 took place in the areas near the Des Moines River within the city 425 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,480 limits of Des Moines. And that's really something 426 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:55,560 there. We'll do a lot. 427 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,720 One last one here. So here's the last one says it 428 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,080 was submitted October 25th, 2000. 429 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,880 Daylight sighting by a duck hunter in Opella. 430 00:25:04,360 --> 00:25:09,200 This happened October 21st. October 24th rather 2000 at 431 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,760 Marion County Iowa Location details public hunting access 432 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,240 area about 3 miles South of Pella, Iowa and Marion County 433 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,280 nearest town Pella nearest Hwy. 163. 434 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,040 Yesterday, October 24th, my husband took our son duck 435 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,120 hunting at a public hunting access area in Marion County 436 00:25:28,120 --> 00:25:30,960 near Pella. While watching a crane fly away 437 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,520 and pointing it out to our son, my husband saw something run 438 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,520 across the trail about 40 yards away. 439 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,400 He described it as solid white, tall and running on two legs, 440 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,000 extremely fast and completely silent. 441 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,920 The strangest part, he said, was how quickly and quietly it 442 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,600 moved, almost as if it shouldn't have been there at all. 443 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,560 Didn't make sense. Feeling uneasy, he had our son 444 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,160 sit down while he loaded his gun and went to check for any signs 445 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,880 of footprints or movement. However, whatever it was had 446 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,120 disappeared and there were no tracks. 447 00:26:04,360 --> 00:26:06,000 His ground was covered in leaves. 448 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,920 When he told me about it, I mentioned that it sounded like 449 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,520 the Bigfoot stories my dad used to read to me as a child. 450 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,200 My husband, however, doesn't believe in Bigfoot. 451 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,400 He said it moved too fast for him to see any detailed 452 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,320 features, just two legs running upright. 453 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,240 It was too fast to be a man and too quiet despite all the leaves 454 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,640 on the ground. He doesn't want to talk about it 455 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,480 publicly or ask around, fearing he'll be ridicule. 456 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,480 He's not sure he would call it a Sasquatch as he never believed 457 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,320 they exist, but he also can't think of anything else it could 458 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,400 have been unless it was a super fast man in a big white hairy 459 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,800 suit moving with the grace and silence of a valet. 460 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,240 Answer it says. Are there any authentic reports 461 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,120 of white collar Sasquatch? I don't know much about the 462 00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:52,560 subject but my husband is not someone who scares easily or 463 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,520 makes up stories. I know he saw something unusual. 464 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,880 Please let me know if Sasquatch can be white. 465 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,680 Also notice nothing else other witnesses, one at all. 466 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,840 My husband, our son, was only four years old at the time. 467 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,920 The stories, no, but we haven't really discussed it with anyone 468 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,400 we know. Time and conditions 6:30 to 7:00 469 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,960 PM. The sun was beginning to set but 470 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,000 there was still plenty of light to see clearly. 471 00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:17,880 The weather was sunny to to partly cloudy. 472 00:27:18,360 --> 00:27:22,080 Wooded area with few ponds. Secluded as it is designated 473 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,560 hunting area with no buildings nearby. 474 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,200 Wow. Follow up investigation by BFO 475 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,680 investigator Matthew Moneymaker. I spoke with both the woman who 476 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,600 reported the incident and her husband, the primary witness. 477 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,680 He is very credible and describing and describe seeing a 478 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,600 tall, upright man shaped creature covered in white fur 479 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,800 and a secluded part of the hunting area. 480 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:49,040 Sightings of white fur Bigfoot are rare but not restricted to 481 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,920 any part of the country. The witness is certain it was 482 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,120 not a human because of the way it moved. 483 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,320 He believes it may have been startled by the noises someone 484 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,080 was making as it walked down the trail. 485 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,920 This location is only a mile or two from the Des Moines River, 486 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,640 which aligns with long standing reports of Iowa sightings, many 487 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,880 of which occur within a few miles of the river. 488 00:28:08,360 --> 00:28:11,960 The most recent Iowa sighting before this involved a Dartford 489 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,880 Bigfoot along the Des Moines River near the city of Des 490 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,920 Moines. Pellet is about 50 miles from 491 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,080 Des Moines. The witness plans to return to 492 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,360 the location in a few days. I provided guidance on what to 493 00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:27,880 look for and how to document any findings. 494 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,200 He will update me if he discovers anything significant. 495 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,560 Wow, a white Bigfoot right there in the middle of Iowa. 496 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,200 Very cool signings all of them. Hope you enjoyed that. 497 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,600 Until next time, this is UFO warning over and out.
