Marathon County, Wisconsin Family CHASES UFO BY CAR

A Marathon, Wisconsin family jumps into the car and begins to chase a disk-shaped UFO for many miles. The event was strangely forgotten, even after round grassy areas of the lawn started to die.

I received the following account:

"My mother and two brothers were at home on a ranch in Marathon County, Wisconsin in 1967. I was 8 years old at the time. I was a very active kid and did not nap at that time of day, but this day I was inclined to nap, as well as my brother. My mother recalls the door opening and felt someone approach her from behind but does not recall much else, or at least will not admit remembering. My father owned a cheese business and normally returned home at about 5:00 PM, but this day he arrived at about 3:30 PM.

I awoke a few minutes before he arrived. He ran into the house shouting come out here look at this. A craft was disk-shaped and hovering above a tree near our house. It was about 50-60 feet from the house and the tree was about 18 feet tall. It hovered there for a while, then it began to move over our vehicle and toward our driveway.

My father told everyone to jump into the vehicle and we followed it out to the highway. Our driveway was about 1/2 mile long. When we approached the highway I could see my friend across the street and his father, they did not appear to see it. It matched our speed but was about 150 feet off the highway over a field. It seemed to disappear when we approached the forest, but when breaks in the forest or dips/valleys appeared on the terrain the craft had matched our speed and was still there.

We followed the craft to the main highway into Wausau, Wisconsin, and at that time it abruptly took a right-angle turn and took off at a slight angle upward and quickly disappeared. It all seems so surreal looking back. My mom is willing to admit the event, but my dad is not so willing. The funny thing is he was excited at the time but did not want anyone to say anything and it seemed to be forgotten. I also recall round areas in the back yard where the grass was dark and the grass eventually died where the round spot was." NU

'GETTYSBURG' - CURSES, GHOSTS, BIGFOOT, UFOs, & MORE - LIVE Chat - Q & A - Lon Strickler (Host)

Welcome to Phantoms & Monsters 'Personal Reports' - cryptid & unexplained accounts directly from the archives of Phantoms & Monsters, and the Phantoms & Monster Fortean Research team. Narrated by Lon Strickler. Join us in the chat, discuss, and ask me questions about the accounts.
Featured in this edition:
Many paranormal enthusiasts refer to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania as the most haunted town in the world. On July 1-3, 1863, the small farming community witnessed some of the worst death & destruction ever seen on the North American continent. Over 165 thousand men, from both armies, took part in the battle, with roughly one-third becoming casualties. More than seven thousand men died in the fighting, and a further 33 thousand were wounded. The carnage left an indelible mark on the locale & history that has endured for 160 years.
But Gettysburg is more than just a memorial to the people involved in that tragedy. It has become a drawing card for the unexplained and a gathering spot for supernatural energy that transcends beyond death. Modern life adds to the mystery of the location, be it cryptids, curses, unidentified aerial phenomena, or personal experiences.
So relax, unlock your mind, and begin to perceive what I'm about to communicate to you. I will present the reports and incidents in detail and answer all questions from the chat room.

GIANT 'MECHANICAL' HUMANOID Encountered by Terrified Florida Couple

A Lee County, Florida couple parked their car and were stargazing when they observed a multi-colored light. Then somewhat slams into the ground nearby, followed by a harrowing experience.

The following account was forwarded to me:

"It was around 10 PM on January 3, 2017, and I was riding around in my car with my girlfriend. We live in Lee County, Florida. We saw a lot of stars out in our neighborhood and we thought it was romantic, so I parked my car at the side of the road, opened the roof window, and stargazed.

Then all of a sudden we heard an extremely loud bang that sounded like a gunshot, but it came from the sky. My girlfriend and I were startled. Then we looked up to the sky. And that's when things got weird. We saw a multi-colored light of some sort, but it was streaking quickly across the sky. The sound got louder, and the situation didn't look too good so we tried to drive away, and that's when the impact occurred. The shock wave was intense and made my car, my girlfriend and I bounce probably a few inches off the ground. I asked my girlfriend if she was okay and she looked like she'd seen a ghost while staring at something behind me when I was faced in her direction. I turned around and saw a car-sized, shiny, metallic object smoking and stuck into the ground about 3 feet deep.

We got out of the car to get a closer look and it seemed the object had individual little plates shifting and attaching to the other plates. I never felt so scared in my life. Then I realized it wasn't a meteor or any type of craft, it looked like technology, but nothing I'd ever seen before. The plates shifted to a kind of star shape but were still completely visible.

My girlfriend screamed in fear when we both saw the entire structure melt into what looked like a black liquid. We ran to the car and I tried to start it but it wasn't working, it didn't even make a sound! We looked back at the object and it was growing taller but we didn't hear any noise from it. We jumped out of the car and ran as far as we could. We looked back only to see the object solidify into a giant, mechanical, metal humanoid figure! It turned around and quickly followed us down the road until we found the edge of the forest in our neighborhood. We climbed up a tree and hid there for about 7 or 8 minutes praying not to die while I was trying to calm myself and my girlfriend down.

I was able to take a photograph while looking down at the humanoid. I've attached it to this email (above). The giant metal humanoid stopped looking around, so we both climbed down from the tree. I questioned reality that day. I know that this whole affair seems crazy, but it did happen." K

MASSIVE UPRIGHT 'HYENA' Reported in Chiapas State, Mexico

A group of friends are on holiday in Chiapas State, Mexico. They all encounter, what they described as, an upright hyena that had come to the apartment door and was seen later going into the forest.

I received the following account:

"In 2015, my friends and I went to Mexico (Chiapas State) for a holiday. We rented out a bungalow with forest and stuff at the back. They went out to get more beer and just some shopping and I was left behind to have a shower. After yelling that they were going double lock the door, they leave. The shop was about a 15-minute walk away and I was literally just going to wash my hair, make tea, and watch some TV until they got back.

About 5 minutes went by and I heard a knock on the front door. It was weird as my friends had keys to this apartment. I just guessed that they were too lazy to use the keys and forgot something. I literally got out of the shower with lather in my hair and was walking towards the door with a towel just wrapped around me.

The door had a panel of textured glass in the middle and I could see this massive entity standing there. My friends and I are quite small and the guys have blonde hair. This thing looked big, tawny brown with spots, and was very tall.

Whatever it was it was tapping on the door and I was standing at the entrance to the kitchen just peeking around the corner. I don't want it to see me and I slowly crouch down and crawl to the sofa. It's still tapping.

After what seemed like ages it just walks off and the textured glass returns to normal. With nothing on the other side.

My friends came back and one of the guys quickly opened the door and said, "Oh my God! We were walking back and we turned the road where the room is right? And we see this massive thing. It looked like a hyena! That's all I can describe it as but only it was walking on TWO legs!" At least someone else saw it. I told them about it coming to the door.

He's still going on, "Yeah, and as we saw it, it started making a weird yelling and growling noise. I swear to you, it walked off on those 2 legs and into the forest."

Do you have any idea what we may have seen?" A

NOTE: I did read a similar account from southern Mexico near the Guatemala border reported several years ago. Other than that, I have no idea what it could have been. There have been several upright hyena-like cryptid canines reported throughout Pennsylvania. Lon

CRYPTID CANINE & STRANGE SUDDEN DARKNESS Encountered at Rock Cut State Park, Illinois

An amateur photographer was at Rock Cut State Park near Rockford, Illinois. A strange series of events occurred in which a sudden darkness fell upon the area and a cryptid canine creature emerged.

I received the following account:

"Hi. I came across your site and I was reading about the Chicago wing humanoid sightings that you've investigated. I also noticed that there have been sightings reported in the Rockford, Illinois area. I had a strange incident occur a few years ago and I was wondering if you could give me your thoughts on it. Even though it's not a winged humanoid, it did involve an unexplained creature and a weird darkness?

There are a few public hiking trails near my house in Northern Illinois in Winnebago County. Rock Cut State Park is very near me as well. I'm an amateur photographer and there were great opportunities to take nature photos. I was particularly interested in taking photos of songbirds and I would always see a greater variety on this trail.

I don't know how many times I hiked that trail, but it had to have been several dozen. I never once felt anything strange there. But then again I always stayed on the trail. Once in a while, I would venture maybe 10 yards into the woods to get a good photo but that was it. A smaller trail split off from the main trail deep in the woods. You could tell it was definitely not part of the state park trail but it had been well traveled. I never saw anybody on it, but I rarely ever saw anybody else out there at all.

My experience happened in late July 2021. I had just gotten off work and I wanted to get some photos in the evening light. So I headed out to my secluded trail. The sun sets about 9 PM in the summer so I had plenty of time after work to hike that trail and to be back to the car before dark. My hike seemed normal enough but when I got to that small trail I noticed that it was roped off. The Park Service had posted a sign that stated hidden falls area, erosion damage and to keep out. I should have heeded the sign but I wanted to see the waterfall for myself since it could be a good photo opportunity. So down the trail, I went.

I didn't notice any erosion damage on the way down but I had never been on that trail before so I didn't really have anything to compare it to. The trail led almost straight down and the foliage became denser. I could hear the waterfall well before I saw it. The forest suddenly opened up and there it was the hidden falls. It was almost magical, something straight out of a fairy tale. The evening sunlight pierced through the trees and lit up the falling water. I immediately pulled out my camera and began taking photos.

I was only there for about 10 minutes when I heard laughing. It didn't sound exactly like a human voice though there was something off about it. I looked around and I couldn't see anybody else. I called out but I didn't get a response. I started to pack up my camera, but when I heard the laugh again and this time it sounded like it was coming from the stream itself. I listened closer and I was certain it was at the stream. I stuffed my camera back into my bag and I wanted to get the hell out of there. But just as I stood up to leave it had suddenly gotten dark. I don't mean dark like the sun was setting, I mean dark like the middle of the night! I looked at my watch. It was 6:45 and I knew I had about two hours of sunlight left but it was dark. I could see stars through the gaps in the trees. I didn't know what was going on but I knew something wasn't right. I had to get myself back to the car as fast as I could.

I got on the trail heading out and used my cell phone as a flashlight. As I climbed out I heard the laughing again, but this time it sounded like it was coming from the trees. So I aimed my light at the trees but I couldn't see anything. Then I caught it! A pair of eyes reflected back at me. They stared at me for a moment and then the laughing began again. I held the light towards the creature and it showed itself for just a moment. It ducked from beneath some branches and stood there in the light. It looked like a coyote standing about 30 feet up a tree. It looked at me, tilted its head, and it smiled, but not like a dog smile. I don't quite know how to describe it but I knew it wasn't a coyote. As soon as it revealed itself it laughed again and I ran! I could barely see where I was going but I didn't care. I knew that I needed to get away.'

I have never felt such relief after I reached my vehicle. The sky was light again and it was as if nothing had happened. I have not gone back to the state park. I've never figured out just what that coyote or whatever actually was or what it wanted. I never made any inquiries since I had no plans to ever return." Y

Texas Witness Observes WOMAN MANIFESTS FROM SHAPESHIFTING OWL!

Do owls have otherworldly connections? Are they harbingers? Many indigenous people believe that they are. This eyewitness relates their strange encounter.

I received the following account:

"I live in El Paso, Texas, and back in 2007 I moved to the Lower Valley for about 7 months and lived in some very decent apartments. I was 16 at the time and it was before I figured myself out. I would get bullied a lot because I was the new kid, and because of this I would sneak out at night and walk around my apartments to clear my mind. I would always witness very strange things like a girl dressed in white, flashes of a man hanging from a tree, unexplained shadows and lights and much more. I wasn't the only one who would witness this. Everyone would, even my own family. BUT THE ONE THING ME AND MY FAMILY WILL NEVER FORGET ARE THE OWLS!

A week before I moved from there my best friend (at the time) wanted to spend the night and spend as much time together before I moved back to central El Paso closer to Juarez and the city. Well, he ended up becoming ill and did not want to spend the night, so i walked him home. When I came back I laid on my couch and stared at my closed curtains. Outside there was a light, so if anyone would pass we would see the silhouette of the figure. As I laid on my couch I kept hearing this strange flapping of like wings of a bird. I didn't think much of it so I put my ears phones and listened to my Ipod. I continued to stare at the window simply out of boredom and then something strange happened. I saw a huge bird fly right by the window and turned into a WOMAN! The woman stood there as if it knew I could see her and as quickly as it happened she walked away. I could hear her foot steps disappearing into the empty stair case outside my apartment. For a long time I kept this to myself simply because I didn't want anyone to think I was crazy.

Three days before I moved out there was an owl on the tree where my window was, but I did not want to think much about it. So I simply walked in and proceeded with my night walk. The night before I left for El Paso, it happened again only a bit different. I saw the same thing I did before, only this time she didn't stand. I saw the owl turn into a dark-skinned woman and then sprint off as if she was running from something or as if she was scared or in danger! I obviously never went outside to see, mainly because I was little kid and scared out of my mind.

So about 4 months after we moved my mother called us all into the living room for a talk. The conversations we had made me feel like I had my sanity back. I knew I was not crazy. My mother, my brother, and I had seen the same thing only at different times and places. My brother saw it from far away outside as he was walking home from a friend's house. He said he saw an owl turn into a woman and ran off into the field. My mother had experienced it many times as she came home from her late night shifts. Many times far away and others only feet away. I want to know if anyone has experienced these things with OWLS does anyone know any type of folk tales, and myths and stuff about these creatures I wish to know more."A

NOTE: I have recounted my encounters with owls, especially in 2015 before and after my wife passed away. I believe that there is an otherworldly connection to these creatures. Are they harbingers? Many indigenous people believe that they are. Lon

'GREY' INTRUDERS Tell Experiencer, 'It's Fine, You Are Safe.'

An Oswego, NY reader relates their close encounter with 'Greys' who suddenly infiltrate the bedroom after observing a fireball in the sky. These beings offer comfort and are non-threatening.

I received the following account:

"Hello there, I was reading a story you published on 12/11/17 about "the thing on my bed" and I had a similar encounter around May or June a few years ago. I haven't told very many people because I don't want to seem crazy and the recollection of it frightens me to this day. I live in Oswego, NY which is a somewhat quiet college town on Lake Ontario. I remember it like it was yesterday and my heart sinks just thinking about it.

I was at my friend's house by the river looking off towards the east enjoying a cigar by a small bonfire we had started in his backyard. It was a really clear, warm night, and being out in the country a bit there was not much light pollution so you could really see the stars. Around 9 PM I noticed what appeared to be a fireball with a tail in the sky however this was no ordinary fireball, comet, or meteor. This fireball seemed alive. It was bright green in color and was moving in an erratic pattern (it did a few loops and "hopped") heading from the north (we have a nuclear plant on the lake and that seemed to be where it was coming from) to the south before disappearing in the tree line across the river. The sighting only lasted about 10 seconds. I sat there in awe for about 5 minutes, my friend was inside and had missed it but he saw the look on my face, and when I told him what I saw he believed it. I thought that would be the end of it however little did I know I would get a much closer encounter.

Fast forward about two weeks, and once again it was nighttime. I was at my parent's house about a mile and a half away from my friend's house where I had the sighting. It was once again nighttime, I was in bed and it had to be about 4 or 5 in the morning. I felt/saw a green flash of light through my closed eyelids, almost like someone had taken a bright flashlight put a green filter on it and was shining it directly into my eyelids. I tried to open my eyes but it felt like they were glued shut, I also felt pressure on all of my limbs as if I was being held down by some sort of force.

After a few seconds of panic, my eyes finally opened to my dimly moonlit room and I wish they hadn't. I was on my twin-sized mattress which was on my bedroom floor (my bedroom is about 10'x12') and these beings were there. I thought I was dreaming so I blinked a few times and was able to tilt my head a little to the left and right. The beings were still there. These beings were grey in appearance and were short little things probably knee-high at most. They did not appear to be wearing clothes, they were just light grey and had very smooth skin. They had large black eyes, thin limbs, were bald, and had oversized heads with small potbellies. All of them seemed to be hunched over in appearance and were all identical. Their faces showed no menace, they were more or less vacantly staring at me while occasionally looking at one another seemingly non-verbally communicating back and forth. There was one on each of my limbs, one holding my head, one standing by my door seemingly as a "lookout," one standing bedside to my right, and one in front of the closet off to the right for a total of 8.

I tried to move, to struggle, anything but it was as if their hands had a numbing effect on my body. My brain said, "FIGHT, STRUGGLE, DO SOMETHING!" However, despite my best efforts I could do nothing but lay there at their mercy. It seems as if by holding me they were able to block my brain's signals to move. I was finally able to whisper "Please stop, go away, leave me alone." The one standing off to my right seemed to sense my fear or understand me because he reached over and stroked my face and spoke in a sort of whispering raspy elderly man's voice saying "It's fine, you are safe."

After saying this, one by one the grey beings hopped off me and scampered over to where the one being was standing by my closet and each seemed to teleport in a quiet, quick flash (no light) while the one who spoke to me kept his hand on me, stroking my head as if to reassure my safety but keep me paralyzed still. The one standing by the door who I assumed to be the "lookout" then went to the spot by my closet and it too vanished along with the one standing next to my closet. The one standing bedside said one last time "Rest, you're safe" then patted me, sort of trotted over to my closet like the rest, looked back at me, nodded then vanished. I sort of passed out then woke back up in a rush with full function of my body in a cold sweat.

I rushed over to my light switch turned on the lights and just sat there horrified at what had happened. I just sat there shaking my head, "it had to be a dream" I thought. I looked down at my arms and legs and was horrified. I could see faint red marks where the beings had been holding me. My room had this weird smell about it and there was a small seemingly bleached yellowish spot about the size of an M&M on my blue carpet where I saw the beings teleport from by my closet area. That spot had not been there before.

To this day I still get a nervous feeling when I go to sleep and usually cover that area up with a blanket or something in hopes that these visitors don't come back. A part of me also sort of wishes they would come back in a less intrusive way so I could find out what they did to me and why." T

May 1969 Middletown, Connecticut ALIEN INVASION Described by Experiencer

A Middletown, Connecticut experiencer describes a possible UFO and subsequent alien encounter that he and others experienced in 1969. It still affects him all these years later.

I received the following account:

"This occurred in the South Farms district in Middletown, Connecticut. It was May 1, 1969. I was about 10. I remember that the Colemans Carnival was in town. My brother, myself, and a neighbor were playing in the backyard. It was dusk. We lived in the valley below Xavier High School. I first saw it coming from that direction. It was slow and it made no noise. There was no wind.

It came right over my house, just over my willow tree. It was shaped like a disc with colored lights flashing in sequence around the circumference. I was right under it so really only saw the bottom well. We just watched it go by and out of the valley. Our parents did believe us. It was reported in the local newspaper but people think I'm crazy. IT was seen by others. I remember neighbors and the fireman at Station 2 looking for it to return the next night. We weren't the only ones.

I believe that night 2 of them came into my room while I was in bed. Approximately 4 feet tall and pale/grey. But not Greys like you see on TV. More human features. I sat up. They looked at me, I looked at them, they looked at each other then I just laid back down. I don't know, but I wasn't afraid. I find it odd that 2 aliens walked into the room and I did not react. I don't remember being taken but I still cry when I talk about it. It still affects me 48 years later.

The next morning there was a round indentation in the back corner of the yard. My brother remembered the sighting. I saw my neighbor some time back and he remembers it. It happened. Maybe it's just me but I thought I was being tracked. I thought about being hypnotized but was very afraid of what I might see. It has really deeply affected me after all these years. I wish they would stop exploring space and sending out signals. They won't like what they find." D

NOTE: I only found 1 reference to UFO activity in Middletown, Connecticut reported in May 1969. It was a brief & limited account without a witness name given. Lon

Landscaper Reports PTEROSAUR Sighting in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania

A Philadelphia, PA witness contacted me about his sighting of a large winged creature that he observed in the Gladwyne area. The description of the creature suggests that it was a Pterosaur.

I received the following account:

"Hello, Mr. Strickler. This is Tom from Philadelphia. We spoke on the phone and I gave you my account of the "Pterosaur" that I spotted flying over an area of Gladwyne, Pennsylvania. I enjoyed our conversation. You asked me to e-mail my account to you so here it is again:

I do landscaping work in the area of Gladwyn. The properties there are very large with lots of space between big houses. It is mostly a vast wooded area. My fellow worker and I had finished eating lunch on the front steps of the house and I went back down to the street (Country Club Lane) to put our leftovers into the car. I saw a strange dinosaur/birdlike creature flying above. At first, it was silhouetted against the sky but I clearly saw a long skinny tail that ended in an outcropping. Silhouetted as it was, I described this outcropping, at the time, as a knob or bulbous shape at the end of the tail. The tail trailed behind the creature as it flew. It then was obscured by some trees but I continued to watch its projected path. It was pretty much traveling in a straight line. It re-emerged on the other side of the trees and I again saw the long tail with the "knob" on the end. Then, at one point, it caught the light in such a way that it was no longer silhouetted. The sun must have come out from some clouds. As it traveled away to my left I saw its dorsal side. It was a somewhat tan or golden color, and, because it was such a uniform color, it appeared not necessarily to have feathers but possibly just skin or maybe very small scales.

I told Stephen, my coworker, that I thought I saw a pterodactyl. At the time I didn't know the difference between a pterodactyl and other pterosaurs. I found out later that Pterodactyls don't have tails like what I saw. When I described the tail to Stephen, he said, "You mean something like a lion's tail." I realized that he described it very well with those words.

The next night I did a search on the computer for "birds that look like pterodactyls". I found out then that the pterodactyl doesn't have a long tail like the creature I saw. I found four flying reptile dinosaurs, or pterosaurs, all of which looked surprisingly like what I saw. They are described as being in about the same size range, too. I would guess the wing span was about four feet but I can only guess at that since, when something is up in the sky, it's hard to reference it to other objects. The four pterosaurs that resemble the creature I saw are the rhamphorhinchus, eudimorphodon, scaphognathus and the dimorphodon. The last of these is only speculated to have the "knob" at the end of the tail although no fossils have actually been found with it. The other three are known to have the outcropping. The outcropping, in any of these, is actually a diamond-shaped flap called a "vane".

I found that there have been many sightings of possible pterosaurs. Some people describe them as a large bat-like creature (not everyone mentions a long tail - the actual pterodactyl, again, did not have a long tail). The pterosaurs that I named, and the ones that have been sighted by others, are bat-like in that they don't have feathers and they have hands at the bend of the wing. They are NOT bat-like in that they do not flap their wings quickly but have more of a gliding motion to their flight (like my creature). I have to be honest in saying that I did not see hands or fingers but there was so much for me to observe in a fairly short amount of time that I mostly noticed the tail. The shape of the head also escapes me now if I should have to describe it. My very first impression, the moment I spotted it, was not so much that it was a bat or bird but rather a birdlike dinosaur.

I feel so strongly about what I have seen that I sense that I should report it to somebody, somewhere. I am glad that I have been able to put this in writing while the incident is still fresh. I am happy to have this information shared with anyone. If someone has another explanation (other than that I saw a pterosaur) I will gladly listen. If there is a large bird in the Gladwyn area with a tail like that, etc., I will consider myself informed and not argue. So far, my research doesn't indicate that but I'm not a bird expert, etc.

Thanks, so much, for listening and for your encouragement. I wish you all the best with all that you are doing. Sincerely, TD"

Southeast Ohio Hunter Recalls His BIGFOOT Encounters in Wayne National Forest

A Southeast Ohio hunter recalls his experiences with Bigfoot over the past 40 years, including hearing growls, strange voices, and a sighting of a juvenile while walking on a forest road.

"I'm 67 years old and all my occurrences have happened in the Wayne National Forest in Southeast Ohio. I've been roared at, growled at, and whistled at. I've heard strange voices and sounds of children playing all while bow hunting deer in the fall and turkey hunting in the spring.

In the early 1990s, I and my friend Pat were scouting for deer. I was walking down a forest road and he was off to my right across a large strip mine pond and up on a small ridge. As I came to a large game crossing something let out a very loud roar between us. It was so loud that it shook me to my core. I yelled, "Pat! Was that you?" I knew that there was no way that he could have done that. I ran back to camp. Sucking air a few minutes later, Pat came running into camp out of breath and asked me if I had made that sound.

We discussed what it could have been. Pat said that he has heard elk make strange noises while hunting in Wyoming but not like that. So there's no other explanation other than Bigfoot. That sound never deterred us from hunting there and we still hunt there today. Quite a few times I've been whistled at, both bow hunting and turkey hunting. I always hang my tree stand in the same tree year after year. I have heard very strange voices like people talking really fast and children playing. One minute they're there, turn my head, look back and they're gone. This has happened a few times. I've been growled at so many times that I've earned the nickname of 'Growler.'

I never really got concerned about it until once I was deer hunting with a crossbow. I was sitting against a tree in a small thicket watching over a large group of white oaks. Something began growling behind me. At first, it was a low growl. It eventually turned into a loud guttural growl. That's the only time I ever got concerned enough to head back to camp with plenty of daylight left.

About 5 years ago I was turkey hunting and decided to go back to camp for a hot cup of coffee. Walking down an old gas line road I came around a bend and about 50 yards ahead of me was what I thought was another hunter. He was around 5 feet tall and dressed in gray. As we looked at each other he bent over, threw his arms back, and leaped across the road into the brush. The road was 10 to 12 feet wide the figure was not heavily muscled like so many people describe. So it took me a few minutes of arguing with myself to finally decide that it was a juvenile Bigfoot, Grassman, or Sasquatch. I still get wire-haired every time I think about it.

While turkey hunting in the spring of 2021 the birds had all flown down and I was thinking about which gobbler to go after. Behind me, I heard a very loud baritone voice say, "Hey!" Yeah, it scared the crap out of me. I had time to dust myself off before coming down. I thought it must have been another hunter letting me know that he was there, but it was so loud. I looked around. There's nobody there.

Here's a story that my 91-year-old mother has told for years. When she was a young girl back in the 1940s in Southern Ohio she and some friends went to steal apples from a neighbor's apple tree that was up a large hill behind the neighbor's house. When they got to the tree a black figure jumped out of the tree and ran away on two legs. They all ran back to the house and told the adults what they saw. They were told there was probably a black bear. The term 'Bigfoot' wasn't known at that time. One day at my mom's house I turned the TV on to a Bigfoot program and my mom said that's exactly what we saw."

UFO CLUSTER Recorded Aboard Airliner Over Taos, New Mexico (VIDEO)

On May 4, 2023, a passenger aboard an American Airlines flight observed and recorded a cluster of lights while flying over Taos, New Mexico en route to Los Angeles, California.

The eyewitness states:

"On May 4, 2023, I was aboard an American Airlines flight that departed from Charlotte, NC en route to Los Angeles, CA. Approximately at 17:25 MDT, I observed 6-7 disc-shaped glowing objects outside my cabin window traveling west within close proximity of our aircraft. The objects at first appeared in 3 rows stacked 2 per row. The top and bottom rows slightly trailed the middle row, as the objects traveled alongside our aircraft they would slowly form a stagnated straight line. Our aircraft was traveling over the state of New Mexico near Taos with an airspeed of roughly 490 mph and a little over 30,000 feet above sea level.

These objects kept pace with our aircraft for the duration of the sighting and didn’t appear to ascend or descend at any point. When I first noticed the objects the lights coming from them appeared a bright yellowish-orange color with a flame-like appearance. The light source coming from the objects seemed to pulsate at a steady interval, when the light source would dim at times I could make out a reflective silver rim on 2 of the objects. The rim came to a point on both ends of each object, they appeared to be disc-shaped or cylindrical in nature.

After observing them with the naked eye, I began filming them at approximately 17:26 MDT with my phone which records in 4K quality. The objects appeared to have a yellowish-white glow to them when viewed through the camera on my phone as opposed to the yellowish-orange color when seen with the naked eye. After recording the objects for 1 minute and 22 seconds, I stopped recording and began to take photos. The objects began to shift as I took the photos and they would eventually form a stagnated straight line with the 2 objects in the top row shifting to the front and the bottom 2 objects moving to the trailing position. These 6 objects would eventually enter a large cloud bank in which the light source coming from the objects was visible through the clouds.

As they exited the cloud bank one by one still traveling west, they blinked off and disappeared right in front of me. I didn’t see the objects ascend or descend after the lights turned off. See photos and video for further details."
