1 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,160 Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning. 2 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,520 In this episode we're talking about a Nebraska Bigfoot 3 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,280 Roundup. That's correct, Nebraska Bigfoot 4 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,560 Roundup. This first sighting that we're 5 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,680 looking at happened back on May 25th, 2018, in Nebraska there. 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,120 And Thurston County says the nearest town was Macy, Nearest 7 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,720 Rd. It says Hwy. 201. 8 00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:27,000 I'll remind you that I had to do a little bit of editing on some 9 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,600 of these just to make him easier to read. 10 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,720 Now we get into the witness report here. 11 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,840 It says I was northeast of Mesa, Nebraska, along the Missouri 12 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,880 River, taking part in an expedition hosted by members of 13 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,280 the Omaha Indian Tribe. We were on the Omaha 14 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,360 Reservation, so they're pretty close to the Iowa border there. 15 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,440 These tribal members say they've had many sightings in the hilly 16 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,360 bluffy zone extending extending for miles along the West flank 17 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,760 of the Missouri River basin. Five of us had decided to take a 18 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,600 day hike to see a possible X structure. 19 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,959 As we started up the path, it became known that to get to the 20 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,160 X, we'd have to veer off the main path and bushwhack through 21 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,480 the weeds. Two people did this, while three 22 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,400 of us decided to stay on a clear but muddy path. 23 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,800 I still have never seen this X, but pictures are available. 24 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,760 As we headed up the trail, one of my Native American companions 25 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,920 said he was hearing movement in the woods to our right. 26 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,080 At this point we could not see very far off the path as trees 27 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,360 and brush blocked the view. I did not hear the movement. 28 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,520 We continued forward and came to an area where trees have been 29 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,480 cut down in the past. We could see maybe 40 to 50 30 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,160 yards back into the forest. Two of us looked to our right as 31 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,600 soon as we made it to this clear area and immediately saw 32 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,840 movement. I saw a long light brown object 33 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,160 that was swinging downward from a horizontal position. 34 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,840 It was not indicative of any other animal that I can think of 35 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,080 and was bent slightly at an apparent elbow. 36 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,080 We could not see a hand because of the brush at the time of the 37 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,720 sighting. The other witness started 38 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,120 telling us what he had just seen. 39 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,880 He said I just saw one and described seeing the whole upper 40 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:16,360 body of a light brown Sasquatch. Apparently when it noticed us, 41 00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:20,600 it started to drop down and move to its right or left behind 42 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,840 cover. He said it was ducking down. 43 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,400 The arm had swung way up in the air and back down and he 44 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,520 demonstrated. His description and 45 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,600 demonstration exactly matched what I had seen. 46 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,960 He did not know that I had also seen it. 47 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,240 As he was telling me the story, I took a picture of the area 48 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,840 where the sighting happened. This subject was behind and to 49 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,120 the right of a sticking point upward. 50 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:49,400 On July 27th, 2018, I revisited the location with BFRO 51 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,320 investigator T Bell and hacked my way back into the spot. 52 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,360 We determined that the top of the stick is about 11 feet high, 53 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,160 making the top of the swinging arm around 9 feet tall. 54 00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:04,480 On the day of the sighting, I was not prepared to bushwhack 55 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,080 back into the site where the subject was. 56 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,560 I was better prepared when we returned July 27th. 57 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,840 I have already done an interview with the BFR investigator just 58 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,720 after our recreation attempt. This subject was much larger 59 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,400 than me. It could very easily be 10 feet 60 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,200 tall as it was already ducking away when I saw it. 61 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,560 Also noticed I had audio recorders set up in the area and 62 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,760 recorded possible vocalizations the following morning at around 63 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,200 5:00 AM. Other witnesses, 2 witnesses in 64 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,960 fact, saw the creature. Three people were present. 65 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,720 There are many encounters in this general area, including a 66 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,280 long distance daytime sighting just yesterday, July 28th. 67 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,160 The proud native people of this area seemingly tend to keep 68 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,960 their stories within their own community. 69 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,200 I'm very blessed to have been able to hear the details of any 70 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,200 of these encounters. Then it goes on. 71 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,880 It says times and conditions 1:35 PM on a clear, very hot, 72 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,000 sunny day. The temperature was above 90° at 73 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,760 the time. Environment. 74 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,120 This is a heavily forested area bordering the Missouri River 75 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,640 with lots of hills, ravines and trees. 76 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,840 Yeah, that is pretty much wild up in that area. 77 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,800 Very cool sighting. We'll take a look here at what 78 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,400 the investigator had to say about this. 79 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,920 It says follow up investigation report by BFRO investigator TK 80 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,360 Bill. In addition to the report, this 81 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,560 individual is involved in the research of Sasquatch and uses 82 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,320 his own audio equipment to gather audio evidence. 83 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,240 Further Details. It was hard to tell the length 84 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,040 of the arm, especially with the movement of its swinging down. 85 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,000 There was no odd smell other than the initial movement 86 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,680 sounds. No other sounds were made when 87 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,640 it was leaving the area. The area is heavily wooded with 88 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,800 trees and brush and is along the Missouri River, which separates 89 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,840 the Iowa and Nebraska state lines. 90 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,880 There are many ravines, farms and Prairie areas, plus an 91 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,760 abundance of wildlife, deer, rabbit, squirrel, birds and 92 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,120 fusion the river. I find the witness to be 93 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,640 credible. He has attended many BFRO 94 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,600 expeditions and has for several years been doing audio placement 95 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,280 to get audio evidence for the research of Sasquatch. 96 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,440 And then they got a map of the area here. 97 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,560 It says this is the type of area in the Midwest where sasquatches 98 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,160 will find refuge in winter and early spring. 99 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,480 And those seasons they will find they will seek dense brush 100 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,760 cover, ideally the gullies of hilly terrain. 101 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,240 Dense brushy zones and the gullies of hilly terrain is the 102 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,080 best natural protection from freezing winds unless you're 103 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,040 inside a cave or Burrow. Let me tell you, it gets so cold 104 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,560 up there. I mean, you know -40°F is not 105 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,680 uncommon. I mean, and that could be 106 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,800 without wind chill in spring through early fall. 107 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,720 There is enough cover in the form of growing corn for 108 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,600 Sasquatch to venture far out from their winter spring 109 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,800 strongholds. They can stay out there among 110 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,320 cornfields and not return at night to a naturally brushy 111 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,640 zone. But the Omaha Indians in contact 112 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,760 with BFRO say they have encounters almost year round and 113 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,360 some part of the Bluffs overlooking the Missouri River 114 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,080 basin. So this one and its family may 115 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,440 be sticking around most of the time because of the abundance of 116 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:19,040 deer within nightly walking distance of the hilly bluff 117 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,720 zone. Yeah, I imagine it would be a 118 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,840 lot of deer in that area. Wow. 119 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,920 And then it says about BFR investigator TK Bell, Iowa 120 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,040 native, attended many BFR public and private expeditions since 121 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:34,640 2016, have helped at many of the expeditions and LED night OPS. 122 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,840 Yeah, very good report. I like that a lot. 123 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,440 Let's go ahead and take a look at this next one here. 124 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,680 Now this next Bigfoot sighting comes to us from Quebec in 1979, 125 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,920 actually July 4th. It says the location details was 126 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,720 on the South side of Hwy. 92, three miles east of Mead, NE. 127 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,960 Now Mead is just a little way from Omaha there, so we're 128 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,720 talking a Far East central part of the state once again, not 129 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,600 that far from Iowa actually. Now if we look at the witness 130 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:11,320 account, it says this happened in the summer of 1979 on the 4th 131 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,680 of July. This is the first of two 132 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,480 possible encounters I have experienced over 22 years. 133 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,760 The second occurred on November 10th, 2001. 134 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,560 We had just finished lighting our 4th of July fireworks and 135 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,440 we're sitting around the patio talking and relaxing. 136 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,420 There were probably eight adults and six kids at my former in 137 00:07:30,420 --> 00:07:32,760 laws farmhouse. Don't Remember Me. 138 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,800 The closest town is town, around 600 people, so very rural area. 139 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,320 It was around 11:00 PM when a friend of ours jumped up from 140 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,080 his chair screaming for everyone to look at the bean field across 141 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,200 the highway from the house. As we all turn to look, we 142 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,320 noticed something very large walking West to east 143 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,960 approximately 300 yards into the field. 144 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,720 It was fairly clear and the moon was very bright that night. 145 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,480 The animal slash creature walked at a very fast pace through the 146 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,560 beans to a point behind a hill where we lost sight of it. 147 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,920 I have haunted my entire life and I've never seen anything 148 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,600 like this before. It walked, leaning slightly 149 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,200 forward, swinging its arms as it moved across the field. 150 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,360 At the distance it was from us, the only thing we could notice 151 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,520 was the size. I had been target shooting 152 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,960 earlier that day and had a firearm in my truck. 153 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,640 My brother-in-law and I decided to see if we could get a closer 154 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,640 look at it. My 4x4 truck was a former 155 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,440 security truck so it was equipped with spotlights. 156 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,400 We entered the field and drove to a point where we could see 157 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,919 the trail heading east, which we began to follow in the truck. 158 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,360 We came to a barbed wire fence where one could tell something 159 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,600 across the fence and headed off into a tree line some 50 to 75 160 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,080 yards from the fence. We sat there for maybe 5 minutes 161 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,280 scanning the tree line with the spotlight and noticed nothing. 162 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,480 I don't know if it was fear or common sense, but we looked at 163 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,760 each other and decided that whatever tore up the ground 164 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,640 around the fence was too close for us to be sitting out in the 165 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,280 field looking around in the dark. 166 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,640 I put the truck into reverse and back the entire way out to the 167 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,560 highway. This area is close to an old 168 00:09:15,560 --> 00:09:19,360 military base that stored ammo and bombs during World War Two. 169 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,040 There are numerous underground storage bunkers a couple of 170 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,680 miles South of this area. No one at the gathering ever 171 00:09:26,680 --> 00:09:28,200 mentioned or talked about it again. 172 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,260 I divorced three years later and have had no contact with my in 173 00:09:32,260 --> 00:09:34,600 laws since then. I later heard that they moved 174 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,000 away from the old farmhouse to another town and that says I 175 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,160 will submit a second occurrence and separate report. 176 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:41,960 Interesting. The same would be hanging around 177 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,800 an old military base. Man, you can imagine. 178 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,400 I guess I can only hope that they got all the explosives 179 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,480 moved out of there. But this idea that it might have 180 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,520 these abandoned, you know, caves or underground facilities where 181 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,160 these things could take shelter in, that would come in handy 182 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,400 during the winter time. I mean, just like with a bear 183 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,200 will climb into a cave or some sort of a burl during the winter 184 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,040 time to go into hibernation. Maybe these things do something 185 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,560 like that too. I don't know, goes on, it says. 186 00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:10,720 Also notice there were no other sounds heard or any other 187 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,400 strange things happening that evening. 188 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,560 There were a lot of people in the area lighting fireworks as 189 00:10:15,560 --> 00:10:18,480 it was the 4th of July. Yeah, I could see what might 190 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,720 upset one of these things. Other witnesses. 191 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,120 It says there were possibly eight adults which witnessed the 192 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,080 animal creature. Later that year, my 193 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,760 brother-in-law said that the night watchman from a large 194 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,160 cattle lot where we had worked sighted something out walking by 195 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,440 the cattle on his patrol one night. 196 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,520 Interesting. And then it goes on and says 197 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,240 time and conditions at 11:00 PM on a fairly clear night. 198 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,160 This was an open bean field which had a wooded area on the 199 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,520 east side of it. Neat. 200 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,680 So once again, we find these things in and around 201 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,320 agricultural areas. You know, it's intense 202 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,560 agriculture. Maybe it's been up. 203 00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:56,320 It runs up against a forested area or area of timber where 204 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,080 there's wildlife stuff they can eat, I suppose. 205 00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:03,880 Very cool living in a proximity, close proximity rather to 206 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,240 people. Very cool. 207 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:06,600 Let's take a look at another one here. 208 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,800 We'll look at a couple more sightings here. 209 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,120 This one is from Sarpy County, Nebraska, which is South of 210 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,160 Omaha, so still over that eastern part of the state. 211 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,960 It says it was a summer of 1975. Location details Georgia Ave. 212 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:26,160 and Tulip Lane run E West by my house, east West. 213 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,520 My house was approximately 1/3 of a mile from Bellevue Blvd., 214 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,560 which ran along the heavily forested area of Fontanelle 215 00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:39,680 Forest, nearest town Bellevue. The witness tells us the 216 00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:43,040 following occurred in 1975 when I was 14 years old. 217 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,960 My family lived in Bellevue, NE near Offutt Air Force Base, 218 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,000 where my father had recently retired from the US Air Force 219 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,600 after 24 years of active duty. I now live in Florida. 220 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,520 This incident was actually a series of three encounters over 221 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,040 a three day period. A bit of background seems 222 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,640 necessary. My girlfriend lived on the next 223 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,200 block. Our houses were separated by a 224 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,400 field with a stand of trees on the north side of the field. 225 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,640 The stand of trees was approximately 20 feet wide at 226 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,720 that time and ran east. West. 227 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:20,320 The stand of trees ran E to Blvd. ran E to Bellevue Blvd. 228 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,160 On the east side of Bellevue Blvd. was a heavily forested 229 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,320 area that was either part of our bordered Fontenelle Forest. 230 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,920 I would go over to my girlfriend's house and visit 231 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,640 until it was time for me to go back home. 232 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,040 My curfew was 10:00 PM during the summer. 233 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,080 The first incident occurred as I was crossing the field on my way 234 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,560 home around 10 PMI was walking in a northwest direction with a 235 00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:45,360 thick standard trees to my right. 236 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,800 I heard heavy footfalls and occasional snapping of branches 237 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:54,120 within the stand of trees. Whatever it was within the trees 238 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,240 was paralleling me. When I stopped, it stopped. 239 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,880 When I began walking again, it began walking. 240 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,320 It was very dark in the trees and I could not see anything. 241 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,800 After several stops and starts, I became somewhat frightened and 242 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,080 ran the rest of the way across the field, climbed over the four 243 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,480 foot chain link fence that surrounded our backyard and ran 244 00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:18,280 up our backyard. It was basically a hill into the 245 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,960 house. The second incident happened the 246 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,000 very next night. This occurrence happened exactly 247 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,080 the same way as the first incident. 248 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,120 The final incident happened on the third night. 249 00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:33,840 As I crossed the field, I again heard the heavy footfalls and 250 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,960 snapping of small branches within the standard trees. 251 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,120 However, this time I was not being paralleled. 252 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,760 The thing was heading in a southwest direction, placing it 253 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,360 on the intercept course with my northwest direction of travel. 254 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,600 I could hear it getting closer but could not see anything 255 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,400 because of the extreme darkness. During the point of 256 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,240 interception, I began to smell a foul odor. 257 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,880 The odor was very strong and almost made me gag. 258 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,760 By now the footfalls were very near. 259 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,760 I could feel a thing crossed in front of me very close, but I 260 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,680 could not see anything. The footfalls were now on my 261 00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:12,400 left. At this point I became extremely 262 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,920 scared and began running across the field. 263 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,200 I am not sure, but I suspect I cleared out a four foot fence 264 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,240 without even touching it. About halfway up the hill, our 265 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,840 backyard I stopped. I can't explain why I did this, 266 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,880 but I simply felt compelled to do so. 267 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,520 I turned around and saw what had crossed my path. 268 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,120 The backyard and a portion of the field were nicely 269 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,880 illuminated by a floodlight in my by a floodlight my father had 270 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,600 put on the back of the house. Standing at the edge of the 271 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,880 field next to a closed line pole was a creature on two legs. 272 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,120 It was covered in dark brown hair. 273 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,720 I estimated the height at 7 feet based on the fact that the 274 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,520 clothesline pole was 6 feet in height and the creatures head 275 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,040 was a good foot above the top of the pole. 276 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,080 I was approximately 40 to 50 feet from it, but could not make 277 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,080 out any facial features. I recall that there was eye 278 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,560 shine, but I can't recall the color, possible reddish. 279 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,520 The thing was extremely thick across the chest. 280 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,520 The arms hung almost to the knees. 281 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,240 This thing was very muscular. We stood there staring at each 282 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,840 other for approximately 20 seconds before I turned and ran 283 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,720 into my house. I chickened out before it did. 284 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,200 There's no question in my mind that what I saw was a Bigfoot. 285 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,920 Wow. Just, you know, 2535 years later 286 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,480 man, this thing still stuck in his brain. 287 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,280 I mean, you could imagine the reaction that a young kid would 288 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,320 have seeing something like this. I mean, let alone I mean as an 289 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:42,600 adult. It's frightening enough. 290 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,240 It says there were no other witnesses myself, only other 291 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,440 stories. Yes, after my experience, I told 292 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,200 my girlfriend and her mother. Her mother said that I must have 293 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,040 seen the Missouri MO MO equals short for monster. 294 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,880 She told me that she had heard of several people seeing a 295 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,160 similar creature in the forest and near the Missouri River only 296 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,400 a short distance from my house. The incident occurred at 297 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,920 approximately 10:00 PM. The weather was warm and clear. 298 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,680 It was extremely dark in the field. 299 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,040 However, my backyard in a portion of the field was well 300 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,480 illuminated by a floodlight on the back of our houses 301 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,960 environment. Hardwood trees made-up the 302 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,840 wooded area, says. I spoke at length by film with a 303 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,000 witness who is a neuropsychologist. 304 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:28,480 He related that although this area is not rural, it is a 305 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,800 wooded area that is only about a mile from the Missouri River. 306 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,480 An investigator was Stan Courtney. 307 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,560 Very cool, good sighting. OK, we'll take a look at one 308 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:38,920 more here before we wrap this up. 309 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,720 This last sighting comes to us from Holt County, Nebraska. 310 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,560 Now this is up along the northern tier of counties, 311 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,960 Nebraska maybe, I don't know, Fourth of the way over, moving 312 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:56,200 from Iowa, moving east to West. It says 1974 fall month, 313 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,920 October. And then for some reason the 314 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,400 witnesses asked to remove the near the nearest town name and 315 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,040 doesn't give the exact Rd. he was near. 316 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:09,240 It says it was along a road which runs east along the 317 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:14,960 Niobrara River that's spelled NIOBRARA. 318 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,960 If we go here and look at what the witness had to say, it says 319 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:24,040 in the fall of 1974 I was bow hunting for deer near a small 320 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,520 town in Nebraska. Not seeing any signs of deer in 321 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,200 the area, I decided to try another spot. 322 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,360 I drove east along the Niobrara River where the road is flanked 323 00:17:35,360 --> 00:17:39,160 by steep dirt cliffs to the South and wooded floodplains 324 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,120 with swamps and marshes to the north. 325 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,680 Several ravines and creeks float in to the river from the South. 326 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,880 About 5 or 6 miles east there was a area past the second auto 327 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,680 gate where people were allowed to hunt. 328 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,520 I haunted this area but left before dark because my car was 329 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,600 not very dependable and I did not want to get stranded after 330 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,200 dark. Driving back I decided to look 331 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,240 for deer in the ravines. As I passed. 332 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,200 I came to ravine about four or five miles east. 333 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:13,480 When I looked into the ravine looking SI saw a large gorilla 334 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,800 looking thing about 40 to 50 feet away. 335 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,960 I estimated it to be 7 feet tall with coal colored hair about 3 336 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,680 to 4 inches in length covering its body. 337 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,400 I could only see from about the knees up, but its face was more 338 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:32,040 human than ape and lighter in color, kind of a dark tan. 339 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,320 I couldn't tell if it was skin or very short hair on his face. 340 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,040 It almost had no neck. It looked right at me for about 341 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,080 two seconds, then it turned around and ran on two feet up 342 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:46,160 the ravine, headed South. When it turned, it twisted his 343 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,000 whole torso, as if a person with a sore neck would do. 344 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,720 It turned from its right to its left. 345 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,680 It also threw its right arm across his face, perhaps to gain 346 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,120 momentum for the turn, or maybe to hide. 347 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,120 As it turned, I could see the muscles of its upper back and 348 00:19:03,120 --> 00:19:06,360 shoulders ripple. This thing had to be very 349 00:19:06,360 --> 00:19:09,320 strong. When it ran it made very little 350 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,720 noise, just the crunching of twigs and leaves. 351 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,680 I would guess its weight to be about 300 to £350. 352 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,800 I got the feeling that it was traveling South to north towards 353 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,320 the river. I set park there for a few 354 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:22,960 minutes trying to process everything. 355 00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:25,840 I had heard stories about ape like things in the area and 356 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,720 always consider them tall tales. I decided not to tell anyone 357 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,240 because I didn't think anyone would believe me. 358 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,560 Many years later I told a few close friends and they just 359 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,120 laughed. I know it's been a long time but 360 00:19:38,120 --> 00:19:40,960 I can still see it in my mind. I had another experience while 361 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,960 bow hunting South of this location in Nebraska in 1995. 362 00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:48,640 I did not see anything, but I'm very convinced that something of 363 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,040 this nature took place. I am willing to talk about it to 364 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,840 someone. Also noticed I did not smell 365 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,400 anything or hear it make any ape human sounds. 366 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,640 Witnesses only myself driving and looking up the ravines. 367 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,280 As far as other stories, I was home on leave from the Army in 368 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,320 1973 when a high school friend and I went out to visit his 369 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,080 uncle who ranches on the Niagara River. 370 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,960 Near in Nebraska we were drinking beer and just talking 371 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,680 about hunting when his small son said, Dad, tell them what you 372 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,320 saw that one night. He told us that one night he was 373 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,680 checking for new calves when he heard something behind him. 374 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,480 He shined his light and saw two things looking at him. 375 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,800 They were standing on two feet and had eyes that reflected red. 376 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:34,760 They took off running on two feet. 377 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,040 He said they were not human. When I was 10 or 11, back in 378 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,360 1964 or 65, I heard a rancher relate a story to my 379 00:20:42,360 --> 00:20:44,640 grandfather. One night this rancher was 380 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,320 awakened by a noise in his barnyard. 381 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,360 He stepped out on his porch and saw a large ape like thing 382 00:20:50,360 --> 00:20:53,280 looking over and into the fenced area of his chicken coop. 383 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,760 He claimed the thing had to be 8 feet tall. 384 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,200 The rancher watched it for a few minutes and then said it somehow 385 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,880 sensed him and ran off on two feet. 386 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,440 I think his ranch was about 20 miles northwest of O'Neill, 387 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,720 Nebraska. While in College in the fall of 388 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,080 1975, a friend returned to Lincoln, NE from a weekend at 389 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,200 his home in Staplehurst, Nebraska. 390 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,840 He told me that two of his close friends were raccoon hunting in 391 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,480 a swamp near Staplehurst that weekend when their dogs cornered 392 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,760 a large ape like thing. The two men were very scared and 393 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,120 returned home. The sheriff and some patrol 394 00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:30,400 officers went to check it out. When the officers returned, the 395 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,880 two men were told to keep quiet about it because it would scare 396 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,720 people. Maybe there is a sheriff's 397 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,880 report on on this file in Stewart County. 398 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,840 I kind of doubt that. I took note of it because of my 399 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,120 experience here earlier, but did not mention it to my friend. 400 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:45,480 Now. There was a follow up 401 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,120 investigation done by the investigator, David Petty. 402 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,600 They tell us after interviewing the witness and in response to 403 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,520 my questioning he provided the following account of of other 404 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,600 unusual occurrences in his own words consistent with my notes. 405 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,920 Sound like this guy must be a repeat experiencer. 406 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,960 I'd really be interested to know what his experience with UFO 407 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:08,400 encounters have been. Quote In November of 1992 or 93, 408 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,600 I was rifle hunting for deer in Nebraska again. 409 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:17,720 I was near the Niobrara River late in the afternoon. 410 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,880 I had shot a doe but failed to find it before dark. 411 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,640 The next morning I returned at first light, hoping to find the 412 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,840 carcass intact. Near where I'd shot the deer. 413 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,440 I found an area about 12 to 15 feet in diameter with the tall 414 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,120 grass and vegetation flattened as if by steamroller. 415 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,720 In the center of the area were four feet and partial legs of a 416 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,240 deer, each about a foot in length. 417 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,080 I picked up one of the legs to take a closer look. 418 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,720 I noticed it was wet and had a urine odor. 419 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,320 I have found deer and other animals divided by coyote, and 420 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,440 in all cases there were hair, blood and body parts scattered 421 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,200 about. This was not the case here. 422 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,960 All I could find were four legs. At the time I was confused about 423 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,360 what I had found, but did not link it to what I had seen in 424 00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:09,600 1974. Yeah, that was that would 425 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,480 definitely put a scare in me. In November of 1995, while 426 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,360 hunting for deer in the same area, I was returning to the 427 00:23:17,360 --> 00:23:20,920 tree stand I had placed that morning near an active Deer 428 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,800 Trail. Before leaving the stand, I had 429 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,880 placed some of my hunting gear, military web built with 430 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,920 suspenders, a small Fanny pack, canteen, and flashlight between 431 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,920 the latter part of my stand and the tree. 432 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,280 I was probably about 30 yards from my stand when I heard a 433 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:42,320 loud grunt or sigh coming from a heavily whittled area about 40 434 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,480 yards past my stand. I could not pinpoint the 435 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,880 direction from which it came. For some reason. 436 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,840 I froze and immediately had the feeling something was watching 437 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,240 me. After a few minutes, I moved on 438 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,400 to my stand. I thought the sound might have 439 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,080 been made by an elk which had been spotted in the area earlier 440 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,960 that year. When I reached my stand, I found 441 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,120 my gear had been moved from where I had left it. 442 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,480 It was about 3 feet away from the tree and it was strung out. 443 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,760 I thought maybe a deer had smelled the torso gland scent 444 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,600 and somehow moved it from the tree. 445 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,120 I ascended the stand and began to wait for deer movement. 446 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,800 While in the stand I could often hear movement and a breaking of 447 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,200 limbs and branches in a heavily willowed area to the South. 448 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,320 As the afternoon wore on, I wasn't seeing any deer on the 449 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,200 active trail. Few dose. 450 00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:33,600 A few dose came from the West toward the stand, but none came 451 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,840 close enough for a shot. Finally, a buck came up and 452 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,440 eventually approached one of my torso gland scent markings. 453 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,360 I took a shot at him but missed and as I prepared for another 454 00:24:43,360 --> 00:24:47,440 shot, I again heard the loud grunt sigh sound. 455 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,400 Immediately, the buck bolted away from the sound. 456 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,480 At the same time, I noticed a few other deer also left in the 457 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,160 area in the same manner. After a few minutes, I descended 458 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,920 the stand and left the area. At the time, I thought the sound 459 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,440 might have been a cow or some other large animal dying or 460 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,600 injured. I also considered it might have 461 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,120 been something like what I'd seen in 1974. 462 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,120 I returned the next morning to move my stand closer to the 463 00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:15,760 West. After finding a suitable spot, I 464 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,080 left my bow and gear there and went to retrieve my stand. 465 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:24,560 I got my stand without incident, set it up at the new location, 466 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,160 and placed tarsal gland scent markings around the stand to 467 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,760 attract bucks. I ascended the stand to wait. 468 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,240 After about 45 minutes to an hour, I noticed a buck deer 469 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,080 coming through the brush northeast of the stand. 470 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,560 When he got to about 25 yards from the stand, he froze and 471 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,560 appeared to be looking at something on the ground behind 472 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,960 my stand. He was well covered by brush and 473 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,680 I did not have a clear shot hit him, so I decided to wait. 474 00:25:51,360 --> 00:25:54,640 After 5 or 10 minutes he turned and ran away from the stand. 475 00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:58,640 At this time I didn't know if he had sended me or what alerted 476 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,440 him. I used my grunt call to try to 477 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,160 get him to return immediately after it. 478 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,840 Using my grunt call, something ran up behind the stand from 479 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,240 where the deer had been looking. It moved through the heavy brush 480 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,880 very rapidly and sounded very big, breaking limbs and brush as 481 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,520 it moved. Instinctively I became very 482 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,280 scared and didn't move. Something told me not to look at 483 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,760 it directly. I remember trying to look out of 484 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,800 the corner of my eye and seeing my bow shaking. 485 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,320 I was never more scared of my life. 486 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,160 After what seemed like a long time, I turned and looked around 487 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:34,760 the area but could not see anything. 488 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,200 I waited probably 20 or 30 more minutes, then I descended the 489 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,200 stand and left. About 3 weeks later I returned 490 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:46,560 to the area and found my stand. It had been pulled from the tree 491 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,000 and dragged into a thicket of brush. 492 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,360 I regret not looking to see what it was, but I believe it was 493 00:26:52,360 --> 00:26:54,600 something like what I saw in 1974. 494 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:56,640 Then. The investigator says the 495 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,040 witness no longer lives in the area, but prefers that the 496 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:00,880 precise location not be revealed. 497 00:27:01,360 --> 00:27:04,720 There's something down there. He says the area is primarily 498 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,240 very rural farmland and ranch land, which has seen little 499 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,920 growth or development since the time of his experiences. 500 00:27:11,360 --> 00:27:14,480 He has not bow haunted again since the 1995 incident because 501 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:18,440 he feels safer with a rifle. Coincidentally, the day after I 502 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,800 interviewed this witness, another unrelated person unaware 503 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,120 of this report told me of a family member who had apparently 504 00:27:25,120 --> 00:27:28,760 noted the sighting not far to the north on the Yankton Indian 505 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,480 Reservation. Also, the Santee Indian 506 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,320 Reservation is not too far to the east. 507 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,320 Dave Petty. Wow, what a fascinating 508 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:38,520 sighting. Collection of sightings, 509 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,560 Actually. This is the guy who's a 510 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:45,640 definitely a repeat experiencer. Cool stuff going on there in 511 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,200 Nebraska with Bigfoot. Until next time. 512 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:49,960 This is UFO warning over now.
