'FLYING' BIGFOOT? Eyewitness Describes Incident Near Walla Walla, Washington

A Washington witness swears that he observed a 'flying' Bigfoot. I have included the original email and a podcast transcript of the witness describing the incident.

“I was driving home. It was the summer of 2005, July (correction/annotation appears on screen: actually, it was the last week of June). I was driving down the highway. I was in the little Mazda car I had at the time.

Out of the corner of my eye, on my right, I, through the windshield, saw what looked like a giant black bag or something flying in the sky. I was right about here when I first noticed it (points to a spot along the highway as he drives – annotation: This is the entrance lane of Highway 12 heading North/East from Walla Walla). I noticed over to my side. I didn't pay any attention because I thought it was a black bag flying around. It was right about over there (points to a place over a field). And I looked back at the highway. I was driving. I got up here to the Weigh Station (annotation: Weigh Station 51). Here's the airport to the left (annotation: Walla Walla airport). The Weigh Station is right up here. Right after I got around the corner of this Weigh Station, I saw it with my own eyes.

It was like humanoid-like. It was human. I think it was humanoid because I discovered this thing was filmed in Mexico a month before. As I was going around this corner right here – this is the Weigh Station, this Weigh Station, I got right here and I could see it right here up in the sky so I pulled over right here. I pulled over right by this guardrail. I got out right here. I stopped right here at this guard rail and it's flying above the wires, going in that direction (east to west). It's flying across the sky like that, just like that (uses a crack in his windshield to show the direction it moved). Anyway, the next thing I did, I got out and I was standing there watching it. It went across the highway and was going across that field and angled towards that hill back there. See that, way back there in the fog? (points towards a field) That one. See how it's higher than the rest of the stuff around it.

The next thing I did, I got back on the highway. I raced up here to Sapolil and took a left turn so I could follow it that way. I got around the corner here and took a left turn on Sapolil so I could get in front of it. It was quite the experience. I took a turn right here at Sapolil. I went down the road. As I was driving along here, I got right here and I could see it on my left. It wasn't that far over. It was right over there, oh about, I'd say, a quarter of a mile, half a mile. Probably about a half a mile. I continued on up the road because he was already to this hump. I'm telling you, he touched that hump of that hill. It glided across the sky and used that hump over there to propel itself. He was heading directly to this silo up here (points toward a silo) in a straight line almost. I got right up here in this intersection. This backroad intersection. I tell you, there's no traffic out here at all. I got to this little four-way intersection right here and I stopped. I got out of my vehicle. What I did was I turned around. I did a U-turn. I stopped right here. See the silo? He was coming right across the sky. He came at me.

After my first stop back there on the highway, I could tell it was floating on some sort of triangular device. It looked like red hippity hops, and I said this before online a dozen times. And I'm not crazy, I know what I saw. Anyway, I got here, I got out of the vehicle here at Sapolil, and he was, I would say, 50 yards away. He got right up to about 50 yards away. I would say he was 20 yards off the ground at the max. And he turned and he started going off at that angle. I tried to follow him. I went down the road that way but he went behind the trees back there and he went right up over between those hilltops there, that one and that one (points at a hill and some trees). And he disappeared back in there and, mind you, the airport way back over there, so, I don't know, something strange going on around here. I got close enough to see this thing and I watched a lot of the Patterson film and I watched a lot of Sasquatch films and I know what I saw. And you know what, I think it's military because I saw a cinch-like seam on his leg that made it appear like he was wearing boots.

Some of the details I forgot to tell is when I stopped on the street it had something hanging from the side that I thought was a dead dog. When I reached Sapolil and Smith Road, I was pretty confident it was a small dog. It was a dead dog hanging on a rope about 3 or 4 feet long. It craned its head at me when it turned and floated across the sky away from me, it turned its head like an owl. I mean, its head stayed fixated on me as its body turned. I saw plenty of hair. I saw its face." D

(Annotation: Bigfoot hunter Wes Summerlin documented years ago that he had found a series of tracks in the snow, in a field that just appeared and then vanished. They were as if the beast could fly.)

-----

Dave later appeared on Brenton Sawin's show, discussing the encounter:

“Well, what happened was. I was on Highway 12. When I pulled around the Weigh station, I pulled off the side of the road near the guard rail and I got out and watched it fly over the power lines. It looked like, what I think were three red hippity hops. Do you remember the old hippity hops we had as a kid, the big red ball? Well, it looked like it had three of them tethered because I saw it at an angle on the other side of it, see what looked like the two little nipples had come off of one of them. And they looked like they were all tethered in the center. And his butt was as wide as two of those balloons so that's how I gauged him in size. But I feel he was about 12 feet tall. A dead dog was hanging on the left side (describes the dog but the audio is garbled). Anyway, it was hanging on the left side and it was motionless so I felt it was dead. Its feet were all hanging straight down on both sides. It was tied and hanging about three feet below it on the left side.

And so what happened was I drove up, it was about a quarter mile to an eighth of a mile past it, and I take a left on Sapolil off Highway 12 and I drove down and I raced down to Smith road which was another quarter of a mile. Then I took a left on Smith and I took a U-turn right there and parked facing it and I got out of my vehicle and I went and stood in front of my vehicle. And I watched it as it approached. It was coming towards me, coming straight at me in a straight line. When I first saw it, it was still a couple hundred yards out there. I sat there for a good five minutes. And it got to about less than half a football field away, I'll say that, and it started to turn back the way it came. It slowly went into a turn move. It probably moved a good ten yards to the right of me as it turned around. It kept its eyes and its face and its head planted on me. So when he went around and turned, he sort of looked like an owl, you know what I’m saying? It really did at that moment. It resembled an owl in the way it turned its head. It went off at an angle back across the field and I'm down on Smith Road.

I raced down Smith Road a ways and it went back and it got lower as it was going. And he went over these crick trees, a line of trees in the forest. You know the Reclamation Project, where they restore the creek? There's a bunch of trees down in there where I saw him. And that's the last I was able to see him. By the time I came back to the curb on Smith Road, I looked back, and I didn't see anything. He was out of the air and back on the ground.”

Brenton asked him if the Bigfoot looked like the Patterson/Gimlin Bigfoot.

“It was exactly like that.”

NOTE: Jc Johnson had reported several 'Furry Ones' track lines suddenly disappearing as if the beast 'took off.' This phenomenon is not uncommon. I have received similar reports over the years, especially from the Pacific Northwest. Lon

BEAR or BIGFOOT? Photo from Hoh Rainforest, Washington Raises Questions

JJ Enrique Timblin thinks he might have accidentally photographed Bigfoot after hearing 'strange noises' and detecting 'a weird smell' in the woods.

JJ explained the images were taken in the summer of 2015 in the Hoh Rainforest, Washington during a camping trip. He wrote: "We were camping up there and taking pictures of big trees and ourselves next to big trees and this was in one of the pics next to one of the trees.

"I did notice strange noises that day and a weird smell - we even left the area and went to another due to the weird vibe. A week later while in my apartment in Seattle, I zoomed up on a picture of a big tree wondering what that dark area was and this is what that dark looked like. Maybe a bigfoot sighting on accident? Who knows."

Some people seemed to think JJ might have genuinely stumbled across the elusive beast. Others weren't so convinced and thought a black bear was a more likely explanation for the photo.

NOTE: The photo seems to indicate a prominent snout of this creature. Even though there have been instances where Bigfoot witnesses have described snouts, it is rare. I believe that this may be a photo of a bear. Take a look and tell me what you think. Lon

VIDEO OF POSSIBLE 'HUMANOID' CREATURE at Miami's Bayfront Marketplace Emerges

A helicopter video has emerged that may add more questions than answers to Miami's Bayfront Marketplace 'humanoid creature' sighting account.

My original post about this incident can be found here - 'HUMANOID' CREATURE Reported During Fracas at Miami's Bayfront Marketplace

An incident on January 1, 2024, at the Bayfront Marketplace in Miami, Florida has raised speculation of a cover-up. There were reports of a 'humanoid creature' seen at the location.

According to the Miami Police Department, a group of young individuals armed with sticks were involved in a conflict of some kind which prompted the intervention of law enforcement officers to manage the crowd. Upon their arrival witnesses reported that the teenagers quickly dispersed in various directions attempting to evade capture or further confrontation. One witness said the following:

"Ever since the incident occurred I have diligently been monitoring the news eager to gather any information about what transpired. There were widespread reports of commotion within the crowd with individuals audibly expressing their concerns and warnings about an unidentified presence. Now we are being told that all of this is attributed to a group of young individuals armed with nothing more than mere sticks. The puzzling part is that none of it seems to make any logical sense leaving me with the unsettling feeling that we have yet to uncover the complete truth. Upon reflection, it appears that there may have been additional events that transpired that evening which are currently being concealed from public knowledge."

Now, a video has emerged from a helicopter video that was recorded during the incident. An unidentified 'being' is seen walking on the pavement adjacent to police cars in front of the marketplace. What is this? There is new speculation of supposed 'shadow aliens' seen as well. Will new evidence come forward?

TALL, RED-EYED WINGED HUMANOID Encountered in Amman, Jordan Home

A Jordanian man tells me about a red-eyed winged humanoid encounter that his sister had in their family apartment in Amman. The description parallels the Chicago encounters.

I received the following account:

"This took place 20 years ago in Amman, Jordan. I don't remember the exact date, but it was June 1997 around midnight. I was 17 at the time, my sister was 14. She was trying to get to sleep in her bedroom, but it was a hot night, so she got up and opened the window. As she got back in her bed, something crawled through the window and stood at the foot of her bed. It was fairly dark in the room, with only dim light coming through the window. She saw a winged creature almost as tall as the ceiling, dark black with a crest on the top of its head like a pterodactyl. She couldn't make out any facial features or tell the texture of the body other than a slight sheen on the side the light was hitting it. The most notable feature she noticed was its "blazing" red eyes as she described them.

When she locked eyes with the creature, a feeling of shock, dread, and fear took over her. She wanted to scream, but no sound came out. She couldn't move or look away. She "felt" the creature tell her to not make a sound, in her mind, as if it knew she was trying to scream. This lasted for about 30 seconds as the creature stared at her silently and motionless.

Suddenly, the creature turned towards the window and darted outside like a spear with a "whoosh" sound as it exited. We lived in a 5th-story apartment with a 50-foot drop out the window. A few seconds passed and she let out the most blood-curdling scream I have ever heard, which made me jump out of bed in my bedroom and dash towards her room. I flipped the light switch on as I burst through her bedroom door to see her sitting up in her bed white as a ghost, shaking and crying. My parents woke up and came running to her room as well.

It took about 10 minutes for her to calm down enough to speak coherently. She told us that she had a nightmare. A couple of days later, she told me what actually happened. She seemed reluctant and scared to recall the details of the other night. I didn't know what to make of it and we didn't speak of it again as I felt that would be best at the time.

Fast forward 20 years and I'm reading an article about the "Chicago Phantom." The more eyewitness accounts I read about, the more I thought of that night. I decided to contact my sister and tell her about what I'd been reading. She seemed to get mad about me bringing this back up for her. She retold me what happened and is STILL terrified to this day. She is angry with me for bringing the memory back to light for her, but I convinced her that the story needs to get out there because of what everyone is seeing in Chicago. Hopefully, this account helps somehow, and sheds more light on whatever this "thing" was, if indeed it IS the same creature that's turning up in Chicago." A

NOTE: I received this account in August 2017, at the height of the winged humanoid sightings in the Chicago area. The Jordanian witness contacted me after reading about the Chicago sightings. Lon

'KEYSTONE PHANTOMS' - PENNSYLVANIA'S WINGED HUMANOIDS & GARGOYLES - LIVE Chat - Lon Strickler (Host)

Winged humanoids have always been around us in some form or another. Most witnesses consider their encounters profound & life-changing. As well, many are fearful of the future, believing that these beings are a harbinger of terrible events.
In the state of Pennsylvania, especially over the past 30 years, there have been many reported sightings of these cryptids. I also had a close encounter with one of these creatures in the Fall of 1988 and have documented other witness sightings & encounters since. What I find interesting is that most of these sightings have mirrored the descriptions of those winged humanoids reported in the Chicagoland region during the past few decades.
So, sit back and listen to these personal reports. Then put yourself in the position of these witnesses and imagine how you would react to a similar situation. If you have questions, feel free to post them in the live chat. I will do my best to answer each.

GRAY, SCALY REPTILIAN Terrifies Combat Veteran (SKETCH)

A combat veteran describes his terrifying encounter with a 4-foot-tall, gray-colored scaly Reptilian entity while lying in bed. The experiencer is having difficulty comprehending what he encountered.

I received the following account:

"I feel that people tend to criticize other stories like these and make that person feel like they're insane. Regardless of that, here's my story.

On the night of May 18, 2016, I was playing a popular online console game called 'Call of Duty Black Ops 3.' I am an avid gamer and tend to lose time when playing this game. During the wait between matches, I would watch random YouTube videos that popped up in the recommended section on the side of the screen. I'm sure many of you have had this happen to you, but somehow I ended up in the section about space, time travel, and aliens. Some of the videos questioned the origins of humanity, if UFOs were real, and the different types of aliens that have visited Earth. After spending a few hours on the game and watching these videos I looked at one of my monitor screens to check the time, and noticed it was past midnight (somewhere around 1AM, I don't remember specifically). I decided it was pretty late and needed to get some sleep. So, I turned off the console and hopped in bed. For some reason I could not get comfortable lying in bed normally, so I pretty much slept upside down (meaning feet to the headboard, head to the foot of the bed). I know, strange, but it worked and I fell asleep.

Now this next part is important to the scenery of the room. If I could draw a picture and upload it I would, but I don't believe that to be an option on this specific site. I have a pretty "nerdy" gaming setup. I've always been into video games since I was a kid, and friends of mine today say that I am an "undercover nerd" because of all the electronics I have. My setup consists of 3 monitors, a custom-built PC, all the bells and whistles for live-streaming video games, etc. Most nights I don't turn my monitors off, because when the computer goes into sleep mode the monitors just go black. You may be asking why I'm even typing all this out, but trust me, it becomes relevant to the rest of the event, which I'll get into now.

So here I am starting to get really tired and my eyes begin to close. I don't remember going to sleep, but I do remember waking up. I woke up to the strangest feeling. I thought I was having a nightmare, and remembered that if you know you're dreaming then you're not dreaming anymore. I was awake, very awake, and I could not move my body. My head was faced towards my nerdy gaming setup and all 3 of my monitors were doing that hazy, static, white and grey projection that everyone's seen in scary films. The weird part is that they have never done that before, ever. The light emitted from the monitors was so bright that I did not notice what was standing next to me at first. I have a king-size bed on a frame that puts the mattress pretty high.

This thing was at about eye level with me, so it had to have been about 4 feet tall. As I said, I could not move my body at all during this entire time, I could however move my eyes. I tried my hardest to turn my head, make a noise, and scream but nothing would come out. I was paralyzed looking at this thing that got even more terrifying by the second. I started panicking and began convulsing violently because I didn't know what was happening. I could see this THING looking right into my eyes with its huge, dark, glossy black ovals as eyes, and skin that seemed almost lizard and really dark grey color. Eventually, I just blacked out after staring at this thing for a few very long seconds. I've never had a seizure, I've seen someone have them multiple times, but I have never had one myself. That is the only word I can think of that relates to what happened to my body after I began panicking. but if you have a seizure, you don't know you're having a seizure. So, what happened?

After blacking out I came to, still lying backward in my bed. All the lights were off in the room, the monitors were pitch black, and it almost seemed like everything was back to normal. I just laid there for probably 10 to 15 minutes, petrified as to what I just experienced. After slowly getting the courage to get out of bed and tactically check my apartment for intruders, I sat down at my computer and looked at the time. I don't recall the exact time I got into bed, but I do recall the time difference between when I got into bed and when I got out of bed after the whole experience. The difference in time was only 30 minutes. So, within 30 minutes all of this happened. It wasn't a dream. It was as real as I've ever seen anything in my life. I made an attempt at drawing what I had seen before my eyes, which is attached to this post. I told this story to my mother, and surprisingly she believed me.

Just so you know I am 23, a combat veteran, and I don't scare easily. This is my attempt at letting you all know that I have been in pretty stressful situations and not turned into a wimp like I did on this night. To be honest I quite enjoy scary movies, I find them kind of funny. But, this thing was absolutely terrifying, and not being able to control my body while this happened made it even more traumatic. I wanted to type this up to get the word out because I know some people have had other experiences like this but are confused and frightened like I was and am. If something similar has happened to you, know that you're not alone out there. I was a skeptic about this type of thing beforehand, and I believe that is the smartest way to go about life until you are certain something is real with personal experience. There are a lot of videos and stories on the internet that are extremely fake, so definitely question everything you see if you're skeptical as well. However, after this night I am full-heartedly a believer. Aliens are real, and they are terrifying." P

Have 'ANT PEOPLE' Intervened in Experiencer's Life?

The experiencer recalls the 'Ant People' who visited him when he was very young and how his parents reacted. Through the years, he believes that these beings have assisted him through thick and thin.

I received the following account:

“When I was a young child in 1965, I started having dreams about once a month that there were big ants in my room walking like people and coming up to the side of my crib and looking at me.

I remember one morning as my dad was getting ready to go to work at around 5:00 AM, I ran into the kitchen where he and my mother were standing drinking coffee. My dad picked me up, sat me on the kitchen counter, and asked me how I got out of my crib. I told him the big ant man let me out. Now, I'm not saying I was abducted by aliens or anything like that, but this did happen for about a year and my parents were finding me sleeping all over the house; once in the Rambler in the carport. So they started tying me down at night in my crib. I don't ever remember getting out on my own or anyone else letting me out except for the one time.

I'm in my 50s now and I remember this clearly, but I would never say that I thought I was abducted by aliens. Some of the circumstances could suggest a possibility of it. As soon as you even mention in seriousness that you have a feeling, or that you know you have been in contact with beings not of this world, you are going to be labeled as crazy or a weirdo and life can become even harder for a person living with this kind of thing. I'm not saying that I DID have some kind of contact with beings other than humans, I don't know, because I don't have any vivid memories of being taken anywhere out of my house even when I was sleeping in the car.

What I remember is what could (most likely) have been a recurring dream of human-size ants being in my room and in the hallway of our house leading to the bedrooms. What kind of 'bugs' me is that the more I think about it the more I think they could have been 'Greys' and I wasn't dreaming. The problem here is that I have been exposed to media all of my life and can't tell if it's just my mind remembering things this way and my thoughts have been influenced by the media reports I've seen all my life starting with Betty and Barney Hill, or if this was in actuality real.

I still wonder if that was what happened. I was adopted by the way and none of my family members or my brother who was also adopted remember anything out of the ordinary. I can't say that I had any contact because I just can't be sure, but something has kept this interesting to me for this long without any concrete answers and I just get the feeling that there has always been something either watching or in my life in some sort of hidden way.

I served in the military and came close to being killed a few times but wasn't because of somewhat freak circumstances I won't go into in an online post. I also had pancreatic cancer 15 years ago and after 9 rounds of chemo and many radiation treatments, I was still getting worse. Then in a matter of 6 months, I went into remission and have been cancer-free for going on 11 years now.

I had a heart attack when I was all alone at home, what they called a pretty major one at that and I lost consciousness after I was able to call 911. My front door was locked and I am POSITIVE I locked it because I was headed to bed when the heart attack happened and I always lock my front door and all others too. The EMT's walked right in, the door was unlocked and I was saved from what would have been certain death if I had waited any longer. How was my door unlocked? you got me.” RT

Elk Hunter Paralleled & Stalked by Possible BIGFOOT Near Mount St. Helens

A military veteran is back home in Washington and hunting elk near Mount St. Helens. He hears some walking in the woods, eventually realizing that at least one Bigfoot is paralleling him.

"This experience happened to me after I left the military. I was hunting near Mount St. Helens, Washington. This is my first trip back and I wanted to get in some elk hunting. I was so excited to be back home and able to go hunting which I love. My hunting partner was not able to go with me on this trip so I was going to make a solo trip which I've done many times before. I knew the area well enough and was prepared for what it would present. I always take at least 3 days' worth of provisions when hunting and survival gear in the way of extra clothing, poncho, matches, fire starter, and other essential items in my backpack. I know that many do not take such precautions when hunting but I do because once while hunting I got turned around so bad that I spent three days in the woods wishing I had something with me other than my gun, knife, and what I was wearing on my back.

On this trip, I was going to hunt a power transmission line right away. I parked on the logging road and walked about a mile to where I would sit on top of a ridge where I would be able to watch both sides. It allowed me to be able to have a clear shot for over 400 yards in either direction. I'd taken several elk in the same location in various seasons over the years before entering the service.

I walked in before the light and reached the spot where I intended to hunt before the sun came up. I was there all day and did not see a thing. This was highly unusual as every other time I had chosen this location I always saw something. It was all so more quiet than I remember for some reason. I also had the feeling of being watched but thought it was nothing.

About an hour before dark and close to when I would have to leave, I started to hear movement to the right in the woods. It was not the usual sounds you hear from an animal, more like someone walking in the woods. I thought that maybe someone else was hunting in this area. I took note to be careful and not to shoot in that direction should an elk walk out. I never saw anyone else, but kept having that feeling I was being watched. It was just a feeling I could not shake.

When I got up to leave I yelled over and said, "I'm coming out. For God's sake don't shoot." I said this more as a joke. No one said anything and there was no more movement from that direction. I once again yelled a little louder, "I'm coming up. Please don't shoot." I started walking towards the dirt road and wandered back and forth between the transmission power lines. I thought it funny that whoever it was didn't call back to say they had heard me.

I got to the dirt road and started back to my car thinking that whoever it was didn't want to make any noise to scare any animals as it was not quite dark enough to stop hunting. But for me, I felt the urge to leave. As I moved down the road towards my car the sound of walking in the woods started again off to my right just inside the tree line. I thought that maybe whoever it was had decided to walk out with me. Whoever it was did not come out of the woods but just kept paralleling me. I stopped they stopped. This is beginning to creep me out so I asked them to come out where I could see them. There's no reply. In a louder voice, I said, "Enough's enough. No more games. Get your ass out here so I can see you." Again, there's no reply. I took my gun off my shoulder and locked a round into the chamber keeping the gun pointed in the direction of the area while I heard the walking, but with my safety on.

I continued to walk to my car. When I stopped it stopped. I became worried that maybe this was not human. I began to think that this might be a Bigfoot. I was also aware that there may be another one on the left side of me. I started to watch all around me, after all, I would rather be safe than sorry. I still had quite a way to go to get to my car and knew it would be dark by the time I got there. I started to jog so I could possibly get there before it was totally dark. The thing to my right started keeping pace with me. I could hear it breaking limbs and what sounded like small trees as it kept pace with me.

By this time I knew it was not a human being and I was almost sure it was a Bigfoot. I made it to my car without ever seeing what it was but I wasted no time in putting things away neatly. I simply threw my things in the car and got out of there as fast as I could without ever seeing it. I can tell you it was not a bear, cougar, bobcat, or anything else that I've experienced in the woods. I cannot say it was for sure a Bigfoot but because of an experience years previous I'm more positive than not that it was."

Long-Haul Driver Witnessed BIGFOOT Hit by Truck on Alabama Interstate

A tractor-trailer driver states that he was on US 72 in northern Alabama when he witnessed a large pickup truck hit a Bigfoot that was attempting to cross the highway.

The following account was forwarded to me:

“It was 2013. I just started driving a truck. I had just got my truck after being trained and everything. I drove from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Cherokee, Alabama. I didn't drive straight through but I got up early this one day to get my load there on time and I was taking this load of paper, scrap paper to Cherokee, Alabama to a plant that makes Kleenex.

So I had gotten up early to finish out my load so I could get there on time. I drove probably 8 hours or something like that. Got my load delivered, picked up an empty trailer, and got ahold of my dispatcher to find out what he wanted me to do next. He didn't have any work for me so I said, I'm gonna go lay down for a little while. So I went to a little truck stop that was just down the road. Took a nap. Got up and decided to have some lunch. Got some lunch and while I was eating my lunch I decided to get my next load which was in Decatur, Alabama which was probably an hour away or something like that from where I was in Cherokee. Maybe a little more or a little less, somewhere in that range.

So I went to pull out on this road and there was this big black truck, all lifted up, all jacked up and everything, a pickup truck. So I thought I'd let him go first because he was moving. So when he passed, I pulled out and I got the whole truck straightened out. There's US 72, two lanes are going one way and two lanes going the other way, divided by medians between them and then trees. You're kinda driving through the woods. Trees on both sides of the road. If I had to guess it was maybe 50 yards from the trees to the trees, maybe a little more. Something like that. I'm driving along, just getting the truck straightened out, seeing what's going on around me.

All of a sudden, out of the woods to my right, this thing came running. And it was fast. Fast, fast! I don't know what it was but I know it was fast. So fast that I couldn't really tell you what it was. But I tell you this, it made that clearing from the woods to the road which I could tell you was a good-sized clearing. It made that clearing from the woods to the road in about, at most, ten steps. That's how fast it was going. That's how big strides it was taking, but anyway, it crossed out in front of the road and that big black truck in front of me. I don't even know if he knew that he hit it, but he hit it. Hit it right in the hip and turned it around, twisted it around and it fell in a ball, on the shoulder. The guy didn't pay any attention to it. I was thinking, what the heck was that thing? I know what it looked like but I didn't want to sound crazy. So I drove by it. My window's down because I was smoking and so I'm slowing down to kind of look at it, see what it is. I'm looking out my window and it's balled up. Whatever it was, it was a big ball. This truck was jacked up and it hit this thing in the hip and it fell into a ball on the ground.

When I drove by it, it wasn't dead but it was mad. I couldn't see it. Like all I could see was its hair. Couldn't see it, but it was mad! You could hear it making grunts. Like, it was like pissed. I was like, I think I just saw Bigfoot. Again I don't know what it was but swear to God, I don't know what it was. I was tired. I lay down and slept for three hours. I had lunch but it was like I just woke up. I had lunch before I left so I wasn't crazy. This thing, it wasn't like big, enormous like 7 or 8 feet tall, like how when you think about Bigfoot being. He was probably 6 feet tall or whatever. He wasn't like enormously large but he was still big. You could see when I drove by it was loaded with muscle underneath all that hair.

I got my load and drove for a little while. Got parked for the night, and called my wife. Told them about it. They were all in amazement. My mother said, why didn't you go back and take a picture of it? Because I didn't know what it was, a bear? If it was a Bigfoot? I didn't know what it was. All I knew was that it was mad and I wasn't gonna figure out what it was in case it ripped me in half.

I got home that weekend. We had a big party because my sister-in-law had just graduated from nursing school. So we all went out to dinner. Me, my brother, my family, with her family and everything. We're kinda close with her family, so I told her dad about it and he said that was a bear. I've never seen a bear other than like at the zoo or on TV. So maybe it was a bear but when I think of a bear, I don't think of a bear as running on its hind legs. When a bear gets up on its hind legs, it's more for an intimidation-type thing. I see him taking a couple of steps but I don't see them full-out sprinting, running and I always think of bear's hind legs, at least in my head, being a little stubby kind of legs. This thing was fast and it had big, huge, like normal people's legs, but it had big long arms. It took that stride in like 10 steps before it crossed the road and then crossed the road in like 2.

That's my story of Bigfoot. I don't know if it was Bigfoot. I don't know what it was. All I know is that it freaked me out. I told my wife about it that night when I got parked. She looked it up and there have been all kinds of Bigfoot sightings around Decatur, Alabama so maybe it was Bigfoot. I don't know but I thought it would be a cool story to share with you. I'm pretty sure I saw Bigfoot. I don't know but I'm pretty sure. That's all that I know.” S

NOTE: The number of cryptid sightings in Alabama, especially in the northern part of the state, has increased substantially during the past decade. Alabama has become one of the top US locations for activity, IMO. Lon

'HUMANOID' CREATURE Reported During Fracas at Miami's Bayfront Marketplace

An incident on January 1, 2024, at the Bayfront Marketplace in Miami, Florida has raised speculation of a cover-up. There were reports of a 'humanoid creature' seen at the location.

"On the 1st of January, a mysterious event unfolded at Bayfront Marketplace when locals witnessed a significant influx of law enforcement officers. Photographs and videos showed that there were over 30 police cars along with black helicopters seen throughout the area. However, no one seems to know what happened. Posts on social media show people running away from the area saying that a 'humanoid creature' was spotted. While others said that a 'strange creature' was seen roaming through the mall. As of January 4th, the official explanation that has been given is that the incident seemingly originated from a gathering of adolescents letting off fireworks. As the crowd scattered this created chaos and disturbance for local businesses and motorists in the vicinity.

The disruption caused inconvenience and hindered the smooth functioning of establishments and transportation in the area. Those who followed this story didn't buy this explanation and wondered why would over 30 police cars and black helicopters respond to a few people letting off fireworks. One man by the name of John said that he thinks something is being covered up.

While strolling along a bustling street lined with various shops and establishments John's attention was unexpectedly drawn to something unusual. A humanoid, tall and slender, moved among the crowd and it was at this point that people started to turn around and look. Initially, he disregarded it as a mere street entertainer or someone casually dressed in an eccentric outfit. However, as he advanced towards it he gradually comprehended that what lay before his eyes was far from ordinary. The enigmatic being possessed limbs that stretched beyond typical human proportions giving it an otherworldly appearance in the bustling marketplace. The creature's skin glimmered with an ethereal silver hue reflecting the soft glow of the moonlight above amid a bustling crowd. There were captivating almond-shaped eyes that emitted a captivating and otherworldly glow. The man reported that it was as if the creature possessed an uncanny ability to blend into its surroundings evading the attention of oblivious passers-by.

This enigmatic encounter left John utterly perplexed, struggling to make sense of the hauntingly surreal experience unfolding before his eyes. After this, he said he quickly left the area. One person who was in the ARA during this event said that a series of loud and abrupt sounds disrupted their peaceful evening. While he couldn't confirm their exact nature he speculated on the possibility of fireworks being set off in celebration of the New Year. Curiosity getting the better of him, he ventured outside only to be greeted by a chaotic scene with throngs of people sprinting in all directions. The situation escalated rapidly as a swarm of police cars, approximately 20 in number, arrived with blaring sirens.

Here is the video - Someone Just Reported The Truth About The Entity That Caused Officers To Close This Area In Florida

I found this on 'X' - 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐚 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐢𝐚𝐦𝐢, 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚 Witness claims they saw “creatures” or “Beings” walking at the mall. Black helicopters are now also on the scene
NOTE: I was told today that there were at least 2 'Men in Black' type individuals seen walking through the public area not long after the incident. This came from 2 anonymous sources who were at the location. There were 4 known arrests of the teenagers who were said to be involved in the fighting. There was also a power outage reported at the location. It seems like a lot of police presence for fighting in a shopping area. There have not been photos or videos of the alleged creature provided so far. Any thoughts on this? Lon

Long Island Resident & Housemate Experience Possible PORTAL OPENING EVENT

A longtime reader forwarded an event inquiry concerning an incident that he and his housemate experienced at their Long Island, NY home. What are your thoughts on this incident?

Hello, Lon.

I've been a fan of your site for quite a while, and am no stranger to the array of topics the paranormal encompasses. That being said, I had an experience last winter that I still can't explain. I live in Oceanside, New York, which is along the South Shore of Long Island, about 50 minutes outside of Manhattan. Typical suburbia, I live in a townhouse gated community, situated about 3 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, so it's usually warmer than the rest of the state and sees little snowfall in the winter.

I'm a sales engineer, age 59, divorced, and share this large 2-level apartment with a fellow divorcee, a 60-something-year-old guy named 'L.' Think "The Odd Couple '' would best describe the scenario. My bedroom faces south, with a large bay window 5' x 8' that I use 2 sets of blinds, one being a "blackout" blind that lets almost no light through, and if it does its usually just a sliver of light from a passing car coming thru from the edges. L has the master about 30 feet down the hall, and his room faces north, with a big double sliding door onto his terrace.

Last February, we actually had a moderate snowstorm that started late afternoon and went on well into the night. Around 3am, while laying in bed yet still awake, I heard a few loud rolls of thunder outside, which I thought was pretty weird for a snowstorm, but chalked it up to some release of energy that the storm probably had. I got up and went across the room, stood in front of my dresser taking a sip of water, totally in the dark, as I know the room.

The next thing I know, the entire room lit up with the most absolute bright white light I have ever seen. It lasted a solid 3-4 seconds and then cut out. It literally filled the room, illuminating everything with no shadows. I immediately considered it to be lightning, but with the nightshades blocking everything, no way lightning would have been more than a sliver off to the side. And more importantly, lightning doesn't last anywhere near that long, let alone be so solid. It was almost as if someone turned on a light switch, looked around for a few, and then shut it off. Weird! It was like a scene from Star Trek TNG when the bridge gets scanned by some alien probe, and everything goes white long enough to make an assessment. That was the entire event.

The next morning over breakfast with L, I mentioned, "Did you happen to see any kind of bright white light late last night?" Now L is many things but sorta 2 dimensional, has no interest in the UFO phenomena, and doesn't believe in ghosts or God or anything. No ability to discuss those subjects, even ridicules me for my beliefs in these things, despite all the recent media attention and partial govt disclosures. But this time, he went "Oh my God, yes, I saw that! It filled the room from the inside out! What the hell was that?"

So that confirmed I wasn't imagining this event, and left me wondering more as this happened in 2 rooms separated by some distance and each facing in opposite directions.

If I had to guess, I'd say we were scanned by something/someone? No missing time, no weird body marks after, no latent memories popping into my mind. Guess we weren't what they were looking for. I wish I had the sense in that moment to have gone to the window, pulled the blinds back, and looked up, maybe I would have seen the craft that did this. Perhaps next time!

I have always been keenly into the UFO subject, going way back to sightings when I was a little kid, and I have seen various things over the years that I don't need convincing it's all real. I love looking up at the sky and checking for our celestial visitors, and usually see something at least once or twice a year." B

NOTE: I suggested to the experiencer that it may have been a rift or portal that momentarily 'opened' and quickly closed. What are your thoughts? BTW, this took place at an area where I have received numerous UFOs and flying manta-ray-shaped UAPs over the years. Lon
