Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode we're talking about a Nebraska Bigfoot
Roundup. That's correct, Nebraska Bigfoot
Roundup. This first sighting that we're
looking at happened back on May 25th, 2018, in Nebraska there.
And Thurston County says the nearest town was Macy, Nearest
Rd. It says Hwy. 201.
I'll remind you that I had to do a little bit of editing on some
of these just to make him easier to read.
Now we get into the witness report here.
It says I was northeast of Mesa, Nebraska, along the Missouri
River, taking part in an expedition hosted by members of
the Omaha Indian Tribe. We were on the Omaha
Reservation, so they're pretty close to the Iowa border there.
These tribal members say they've had many sightings in the hilly
bluffy zone extending extending for miles along the West flank
of the Missouri River basin. Five of us had decided to take a
day hike to see a possible X structure.
As we started up the path, it became known that to get to the
X, we'd have to veer off the main path and bushwhack through
the weeds. Two people did this, while three
of us decided to stay on a clear but muddy path.
I still have never seen this X, but pictures are available.
As we headed up the trail, one of my Native American companions
said he was hearing movement in the woods to our right.
At this point we could not see very far off the path as trees
and brush blocked the view. I did not hear the movement.
We continued forward and came to an area where trees have been
cut down in the past. We could see maybe 40 to 50
yards back into the forest. Two of us looked to our right as
soon as we made it to this clear area and immediately saw
movement. I saw a long light brown object
that was swinging downward from a horizontal position.
It was not indicative of any other animal that I can think of
and was bent slightly at an apparent elbow.
We could not see a hand because of the brush at the time of the
sighting. The other witness started
telling us what he had just seen.
He said I just saw one and described seeing the whole upper
body of a light brown Sasquatch. Apparently when it noticed us,
it started to drop down and move to its right or left behind
cover. He said it was ducking down.
The arm had swung way up in the air and back down and he
demonstrated. His description and
demonstration exactly matched what I had seen.
He did not know that I had also seen it.
As he was telling me the story, I took a picture of the area
where the sighting happened. This subject was behind and to
the right of a sticking point upward.
On July 27th, 2018, I revisited the location with BFRO
investigator T Bell and hacked my way back into the spot.
We determined that the top of the stick is about 11 feet high,
making the top of the swinging arm around 9 feet tall.
On the day of the sighting, I was not prepared to bushwhack
back into the site where the subject was.
I was better prepared when we returned July 27th.
I have already done an interview with the BFR investigator just
after our recreation attempt. This subject was much larger
than me. It could very easily be 10 feet
tall as it was already ducking away when I saw it.
Also noticed I had audio recorders set up in the area and
recorded possible vocalizations the following morning at around
5:00 AM. Other witnesses, 2 witnesses in
fact, saw the creature. Three people were present.
There are many encounters in this general area, including a
long distance daytime sighting just yesterday, July 28th.
The proud native people of this area seemingly tend to keep
their stories within their own community.
I'm very blessed to have been able to hear the details of any
of these encounters. Then it goes on.
It says times and conditions 1:35 PM on a clear, very hot,
sunny day. The temperature was above 90° at
the time. Environment.
This is a heavily forested area bordering the Missouri River
with lots of hills, ravines and trees.
Yeah, that is pretty much wild up in that area.
Very cool sighting. We'll take a look here at what
the investigator had to say about this.
It says follow up investigation report by BFRO investigator TK
Bill. In addition to the report, this
individual is involved in the research of Sasquatch and uses
his own audio equipment to gather audio evidence.
Further Details. It was hard to tell the length
of the arm, especially with the movement of its swinging down.
There was no odd smell other than the initial movement
sounds. No other sounds were made when
it was leaving the area. The area is heavily wooded with
trees and brush and is along the Missouri River, which separates
the Iowa and Nebraska state lines.
There are many ravines, farms and Prairie areas, plus an
abundance of wildlife, deer, rabbit, squirrel, birds and
fusion the river. I find the witness to be
credible. He has attended many BFRO
expeditions and has for several years been doing audio placement
to get audio evidence for the research of Sasquatch.
And then they got a map of the area here.
It says this is the type of area in the Midwest where sasquatches
will find refuge in winter and early spring.
And those seasons they will find they will seek dense brush
cover, ideally the gullies of hilly terrain.
Dense brushy zones and the gullies of hilly terrain is the
best natural protection from freezing winds unless you're
inside a cave or Burrow. Let me tell you, it gets so cold
up there. I mean, you know -40°F is not
uncommon. I mean, and that could be
without wind chill in spring through early fall.
There is enough cover in the form of growing corn for
Sasquatch to venture far out from their winter spring
strongholds. They can stay out there among
cornfields and not return at night to a naturally brushy
zone. But the Omaha Indians in contact
with BFRO say they have encounters almost year round and
some part of the Bluffs overlooking the Missouri River
basin. So this one and its family may
be sticking around most of the time because of the abundance of
deer within nightly walking distance of the hilly bluff
zone. Yeah, I imagine it would be a
lot of deer in that area. Wow.
And then it says about BFR investigator TK Bell, Iowa
native, attended many BFR public and private expeditions since
2016, have helped at many of the expeditions and LED night OPS.
Yeah, very good report. I like that a lot.
Let's go ahead and take a look at this next one here.
Now this next Bigfoot sighting comes to us from Quebec in 1979,
actually July 4th. It says the location details was
on the South side of Hwy. 92, three miles east of Mead, NE.
Now Mead is just a little way from Omaha there, so we're
talking a Far East central part of the state once again, not
that far from Iowa actually. Now if we look at the witness
account, it says this happened in the summer of 1979 on the 4th
of July. This is the first of two
possible encounters I have experienced over 22 years.
The second occurred on November 10th, 2001.
We had just finished lighting our 4th of July fireworks and
we're sitting around the patio talking and relaxing.
There were probably eight adults and six kids at my former in
laws farmhouse. Don't Remember Me.
The closest town is town, around 600 people, so very rural area.
It was around 11:00 PM when a friend of ours jumped up from
his chair screaming for everyone to look at the bean field across
the highway from the house. As we all turn to look, we
noticed something very large walking West to east
approximately 300 yards into the field.
It was fairly clear and the moon was very bright that night.
The animal slash creature walked at a very fast pace through the
beans to a point behind a hill where we lost sight of it.
I have haunted my entire life and I've never seen anything
like this before. It walked, leaning slightly
forward, swinging its arms as it moved across the field.
At the distance it was from us, the only thing we could notice
was the size. I had been target shooting
earlier that day and had a firearm in my truck.
My brother-in-law and I decided to see if we could get a closer
look at it. My 4x4 truck was a former
security truck so it was equipped with spotlights.
We entered the field and drove to a point where we could see
the trail heading east, which we began to follow in the truck.
We came to a barbed wire fence where one could tell something
across the fence and headed off into a tree line some 50 to 75
yards from the fence. We sat there for maybe 5 minutes
scanning the tree line with the spotlight and noticed nothing.
I don't know if it was fear or common sense, but we looked at
each other and decided that whatever tore up the ground
around the fence was too close for us to be sitting out in the
field looking around in the dark.
I put the truck into reverse and back the entire way out to the
highway. This area is close to an old
military base that stored ammo and bombs during World War Two.
There are numerous underground storage bunkers a couple of
miles South of this area. No one at the gathering ever
mentioned or talked about it again.
I divorced three years later and have had no contact with my in
laws since then. I later heard that they moved
away from the old farmhouse to another town and that says I
will submit a second occurrence and separate report.
Interesting. The same would be hanging around
an old military base. Man, you can imagine.
I guess I can only hope that they got all the explosives
moved out of there. But this idea that it might have
these abandoned, you know, caves or underground facilities where
these things could take shelter in, that would come in handy
during the winter time. I mean, just like with a bear
will climb into a cave or some sort of a burl during the winter
time to go into hibernation. Maybe these things do something
like that too. I don't know, goes on, it says.
Also notice there were no other sounds heard or any other
strange things happening that evening.
There were a lot of people in the area lighting fireworks as
it was the 4th of July. Yeah, I could see what might
upset one of these things. Other witnesses.
It says there were possibly eight adults which witnessed the
animal creature. Later that year, my
brother-in-law said that the night watchman from a large
cattle lot where we had worked sighted something out walking by
the cattle on his patrol one night.
Interesting. And then it goes on and says
time and conditions at 11:00 PM on a fairly clear night.
This was an open bean field which had a wooded area on the
east side of it. Neat.
So once again, we find these things in and around
agricultural areas. You know, it's intense
agriculture. Maybe it's been up.
It runs up against a forested area or area of timber where
there's wildlife stuff they can eat, I suppose.
Very cool living in a proximity, close proximity rather to
people. Very cool.
Let's take a look at another one here.
We'll look at a couple more sightings here.
This one is from Sarpy County, Nebraska, which is South of
Omaha, so still over that eastern part of the state.
It says it was a summer of 1975. Location details Georgia Ave.
and Tulip Lane run E West by my house, east West.
My house was approximately 1/3 of a mile from Bellevue Blvd.,
which ran along the heavily forested area of Fontanelle
Forest, nearest town Bellevue. The witness tells us the
following occurred in 1975 when I was 14 years old.
My family lived in Bellevue, NE near Offutt Air Force Base,
where my father had recently retired from the US Air Force
after 24 years of active duty. I now live in Florida.
This incident was actually a series of three encounters over
a three day period. A bit of background seems
necessary. My girlfriend lived on the next
block. Our houses were separated by a
field with a stand of trees on the north side of the field.
The stand of trees was approximately 20 feet wide at
that time and ran east. West.
The stand of trees ran E to Blvd. ran E to Bellevue Blvd.
On the east side of Bellevue Blvd. was a heavily forested
area that was either part of our bordered Fontenelle Forest.
I would go over to my girlfriend's house and visit
until it was time for me to go back home.
My curfew was 10:00 PM during the summer.
The first incident occurred as I was crossing the field on my way
home around 10 PMI was walking in a northwest direction with a
thick standard trees to my right.
I heard heavy footfalls and occasional snapping of branches
within the stand of trees. Whatever it was within the trees
was paralleling me. When I stopped, it stopped.
When I began walking again, it began walking.
It was very dark in the trees and I could not see anything.
After several stops and starts, I became somewhat frightened and
ran the rest of the way across the field, climbed over the four
foot chain link fence that surrounded our backyard and ran
up our backyard. It was basically a hill into the
house. The second incident happened the
very next night. This occurrence happened exactly
the same way as the first incident.
The final incident happened on the third night.
As I crossed the field, I again heard the heavy footfalls and
snapping of small branches within the standard trees.
However, this time I was not being paralleled.
The thing was heading in a southwest direction, placing it
on the intercept course with my northwest direction of travel.
I could hear it getting closer but could not see anything
because of the extreme darkness. During the point of
interception, I began to smell a foul odor.
The odor was very strong and almost made me gag.
By now the footfalls were very near.
I could feel a thing crossed in front of me very close, but I
could not see anything. The footfalls were now on my
left. At this point I became extremely
scared and began running across the field.
I am not sure, but I suspect I cleared out a four foot fence
without even touching it. About halfway up the hill, our
backyard I stopped. I can't explain why I did this,
but I simply felt compelled to do so.
I turned around and saw what had crossed my path.
The backyard and a portion of the field were nicely
illuminated by a floodlight in my by a floodlight my father had
put on the back of the house. Standing at the edge of the
field next to a closed line pole was a creature on two legs.
It was covered in dark brown hair.
I estimated the height at 7 feet based on the fact that the
clothesline pole was 6 feet in height and the creatures head
was a good foot above the top of the pole.
I was approximately 40 to 50 feet from it, but could not make
out any facial features. I recall that there was eye
shine, but I can't recall the color, possible reddish.
The thing was extremely thick across the chest.
The arms hung almost to the knees.
This thing was very muscular. We stood there staring at each
other for approximately 20 seconds before I turned and ran
into my house. I chickened out before it did.
There's no question in my mind that what I saw was a Bigfoot.
Wow. Just, you know, 2535 years later
man, this thing still stuck in his brain.
I mean, you could imagine the reaction that a young kid would
have seeing something like this. I mean, let alone I mean as an
adult. It's frightening enough.
It says there were no other witnesses myself, only other
stories. Yes, after my experience, I told
my girlfriend and her mother. Her mother said that I must have
seen the Missouri MO MO equals short for monster.
She told me that she had heard of several people seeing a
similar creature in the forest and near the Missouri River only
a short distance from my house. The incident occurred at
approximately 10:00 PM. The weather was warm and clear.
It was extremely dark in the field.
However, my backyard in a portion of the field was well
illuminated by a floodlight on the back of our houses
environment. Hardwood trees made-up the
wooded area, says. I spoke at length by film with a
witness who is a neuropsychologist.
He related that although this area is not rural, it is a
wooded area that is only about a mile from the Missouri River.
An investigator was Stan Courtney.
Very cool, good sighting. OK, we'll take a look at one
more here before we wrap this up.
This last sighting comes to us from Holt County, Nebraska.
Now this is up along the northern tier of counties,
Nebraska maybe, I don't know, Fourth of the way over, moving
from Iowa, moving east to West. It says 1974 fall month,
October. And then for some reason the
witnesses asked to remove the near the nearest town name and
doesn't give the exact Rd. he was near.
It says it was along a road which runs east along the
Niobrara River that's spelled NIOBRARA.
If we go here and look at what the witness had to say, it says
in the fall of 1974 I was bow hunting for deer near a small
town in Nebraska. Not seeing any signs of deer in
the area, I decided to try another spot.
I drove east along the Niobrara River where the road is flanked
by steep dirt cliffs to the South and wooded floodplains
with swamps and marshes to the north.
Several ravines and creeks float in to the river from the South.
About 5 or 6 miles east there was a area past the second auto
gate where people were allowed to hunt.
I haunted this area but left before dark because my car was
not very dependable and I did not want to get stranded after
dark. Driving back I decided to look
for deer in the ravines. As I passed.
I came to ravine about four or five miles east.
When I looked into the ravine looking SI saw a large gorilla
looking thing about 40 to 50 feet away.
I estimated it to be 7 feet tall with coal colored hair about 3
to 4 inches in length covering its body.
I could only see from about the knees up, but its face was more
human than ape and lighter in color, kind of a dark tan.
I couldn't tell if it was skin or very short hair on his face.
It almost had no neck. It looked right at me for about
two seconds, then it turned around and ran on two feet up
the ravine, headed South. When it turned, it twisted his
whole torso, as if a person with a sore neck would do.
It turned from its right to its left.
It also threw its right arm across his face, perhaps to gain
momentum for the turn, or maybe to hide.
As it turned, I could see the muscles of its upper back and
shoulders ripple. This thing had to be very
strong. When it ran it made very little
noise, just the crunching of twigs and leaves.
I would guess its weight to be about 300 to £350.
I got the feeling that it was traveling South to north towards
the river. I set park there for a few
minutes trying to process everything.
I had heard stories about ape like things in the area and
always consider them tall tales. I decided not to tell anyone
because I didn't think anyone would believe me.
Many years later I told a few close friends and they just
laughed. I know it's been a long time but
I can still see it in my mind. I had another experience while
bow hunting South of this location in Nebraska in 1995.
I did not see anything, but I'm very convinced that something of
this nature took place. I am willing to talk about it to
someone. Also noticed I did not smell
anything or hear it make any ape human sounds.
Witnesses only myself driving and looking up the ravines.
As far as other stories, I was home on leave from the Army in
1973 when a high school friend and I went out to visit his
uncle who ranches on the Niagara River.
Near in Nebraska we were drinking beer and just talking
about hunting when his small son said, Dad, tell them what you
saw that one night. He told us that one night he was
checking for new calves when he heard something behind him.
He shined his light and saw two things looking at him.
They were standing on two feet and had eyes that reflected red.
They took off running on two feet.
He said they were not human. When I was 10 or 11, back in
1964 or 65, I heard a rancher relate a story to my
grandfather. One night this rancher was
awakened by a noise in his barnyard.
He stepped out on his porch and saw a large ape like thing
looking over and into the fenced area of his chicken coop.
He claimed the thing had to be 8 feet tall.
The rancher watched it for a few minutes and then said it somehow
sensed him and ran off on two feet.
I think his ranch was about 20 miles northwest of O'Neill,
Nebraska. While in College in the fall of
1975, a friend returned to Lincoln, NE from a weekend at
his home in Staplehurst, Nebraska.
He told me that two of his close friends were raccoon hunting in
a swamp near Staplehurst that weekend when their dogs cornered
a large ape like thing. The two men were very scared and
returned home. The sheriff and some patrol
officers went to check it out. When the officers returned, the
two men were told to keep quiet about it because it would scare
people. Maybe there is a sheriff's
report on on this file in Stewart County.
I kind of doubt that. I took note of it because of my
experience here earlier, but did not mention it to my friend.
Now. There was a follow up
investigation done by the investigator, David Petty.
They tell us after interviewing the witness and in response to
my questioning he provided the following account of of other
unusual occurrences in his own words consistent with my notes.
Sound like this guy must be a repeat experiencer.
I'd really be interested to know what his experience with UFO
encounters have been. Quote In November of 1992 or 93,
I was rifle hunting for deer in Nebraska again.
I was near the Niobrara River late in the afternoon.
I had shot a doe but failed to find it before dark.
The next morning I returned at first light, hoping to find the
carcass intact. Near where I'd shot the deer.
I found an area about 12 to 15 feet in diameter with the tall
grass and vegetation flattened as if by steamroller.
In the center of the area were four feet and partial legs of a
deer, each about a foot in length.
I picked up one of the legs to take a closer look.
I noticed it was wet and had a urine odor.
I have found deer and other animals divided by coyote, and
in all cases there were hair, blood and body parts scattered
about. This was not the case here.
All I could find were four legs. At the time I was confused about
what I had found, but did not link it to what I had seen in
1974. Yeah, that was that would
definitely put a scare in me. In November of 1995, while
hunting for deer in the same area, I was returning to the
tree stand I had placed that morning near an active Deer
Trail. Before leaving the stand, I had
placed some of my hunting gear, military web built with
suspenders, a small Fanny pack, canteen, and flashlight between
the latter part of my stand and the tree.
I was probably about 30 yards from my stand when I heard a
loud grunt or sigh coming from a heavily whittled area about 40
yards past my stand. I could not pinpoint the
direction from which it came. For some reason.
I froze and immediately had the feeling something was watching
me. After a few minutes, I moved on
to my stand. I thought the sound might have
been made by an elk which had been spotted in the area earlier
that year. When I reached my stand, I found
my gear had been moved from where I had left it.
It was about 3 feet away from the tree and it was strung out.
I thought maybe a deer had smelled the torso gland scent
and somehow moved it from the tree.
I ascended the stand and began to wait for deer movement.
While in the stand I could often hear movement and a breaking of
limbs and branches in a heavily willowed area to the South.
As the afternoon wore on, I wasn't seeing any deer on the
active trail. Few dose.
A few dose came from the West toward the stand, but none came
close enough for a shot. Finally, a buck came up and
eventually approached one of my torso gland scent markings.
I took a shot at him but missed and as I prepared for another
shot, I again heard the loud grunt sigh sound.
Immediately, the buck bolted away from the sound.
At the same time, I noticed a few other deer also left in the
area in the same manner. After a few minutes, I descended
the stand and left the area. At the time, I thought the sound
might have been a cow or some other large animal dying or
injured. I also considered it might have
been something like what I'd seen in 1974.
I returned the next morning to move my stand closer to the
West. After finding a suitable spot, I
left my bow and gear there and went to retrieve my stand.
I got my stand without incident, set it up at the new location,
and placed tarsal gland scent markings around the stand to
attract bucks. I ascended the stand to wait.
After about 45 minutes to an hour, I noticed a buck deer
coming through the brush northeast of the stand.
When he got to about 25 yards from the stand, he froze and
appeared to be looking at something on the ground behind
my stand. He was well covered by brush and
I did not have a clear shot hit him, so I decided to wait.
After 5 or 10 minutes he turned and ran away from the stand.
At this time I didn't know if he had sended me or what alerted
him. I used my grunt call to try to
get him to return immediately after it.
Using my grunt call, something ran up behind the stand from
where the deer had been looking. It moved through the heavy brush
very rapidly and sounded very big, breaking limbs and brush as
it moved. Instinctively I became very
scared and didn't move. Something told me not to look at
it directly. I remember trying to look out of
the corner of my eye and seeing my bow shaking.
I was never more scared of my life.
After what seemed like a long time, I turned and looked around
the area but could not see anything.
I waited probably 20 or 30 more minutes, then I descended the
stand and left. About 3 weeks later I returned
to the area and found my stand. It had been pulled from the tree
and dragged into a thicket of brush.
I regret not looking to see what it was, but I believe it was
something like what I saw in 1974.
Then. The investigator says the
witness no longer lives in the area, but prefers that the
precise location not be revealed.
There's something down there. He says the area is primarily
very rural farmland and ranch land, which has seen little
growth or development since the time of his experiences.
He has not bow haunted again since the 1995 incident because
he feels safer with a rifle. Coincidentally, the day after I
interviewed this witness, another unrelated person unaware
of this report told me of a family member who had apparently
noted the sighting not far to the north on the Yankton Indian
Reservation. Also, the Santee Indian
Reservation is not too far to the east.
Dave Petty. Wow, what a fascinating
sighting. Collection of sightings,
Actually. This is the guy who's a
definitely a repeat experiencer. Cool stuff going on there in
Nebraska with Bigfoot. Until next time.
This is UFO warning over now.
