British Columbia Eyewitness Encounters Possible 'GLIMMER MAN' or CLOAKED SASQUATCH!
A British Columbia eyewitness encounters a shaking bush while hiking. As he investigates, it turns out to be a possible cloaked cryptid or 'Glimmer Man' entity.
A Phantoms & Monsters Radio listener posted the following incident report at 'GLIMMER MAN' - CLOAKED HUMANOID, CRYPTID OR ALIEN? JOIN US LIVE in Chat - Lon Strickler (Host)
"In September ~2002, I was living in my camper truck at the top of the McNair Creek Valley near Port Mellon, British Columbia. One foggy morning, I climbed up into the old growth and wandered around eating blueberries and listening. I had my sturdy hiking stick but was not even carrying any bear spray.
After a few hours I headed back to my camp. I had to walk down a steep scree field at the base of which was my front bumper. Carefully, step by step, I descended the wobbly boulders on my wobbly ankles. I stepped off the last boulder onto a flat old road surface just in front of my truck. When I raised my eyes, I saw that some scraggly bushes, 6 feet away, were shaking and vibrating. I thought there must be some squirrels fighting in there. That is the only thing that could make bushes vibrate like that.
I stepped forward and poked my stick into the branches to separate them. Suddenly, the shaking area grew to a larger area, 3 feet in diameter. Then this area of violently vibrating bushes moved away from me and accelerated up a steep slope. Out of curiosity, I tried to follow it, looking into the hole it was making in the vegetation. There was nothing in the hole. The running hole in the forest displaced vegetation in the shape of a tall, bipedal, hefty creature. It went up that steep slope as fast as the fastest running man you could ever see. It disappeared from my sight, over the top of the slope.
“Wow,” I thought, “an invisible Sasquatch and I had been 2 feet away from it.”
I must have poked it in the shin with my stick. It was afraid of me.
I write this for other people who have experienced the ‘Predator.’ (Glimmer Man) That’s what we call it. From the many accounts I have read, this thing is something different from a Sasquatch.
From reading many accounts, IMO, It is an alien with cloaking and anti-gravity technology. It watches people and it likes to run through the forest." bimmjim

Hunter's BIPEDAL CRYPTID & UFO ENCOUNTERS in Louisiana Swamp
A local hunter (living in south central Pennsylvania) talks about his experiences with a huge bipedal cryptid and a UFO as a teen growing up in Louisiana. Interesting account.
The following account was forwarded to me:
"I harvested my first three bucks with my bow when I was 13 years old. I harvested them back-to-back three weekends in a row. I had an excellent teacher - my dad. I grew up in a small town called Morganza in Louisiana. Not far from there is where I learned to hunt on an island called Rakasi Island. I've also been a hunting guide and horseman for years in Colorado.
I live in south central Pennsylvania now after moving 16 years ago to Maryland. On March 5th I'll be 51. I had numerous experiences with these beings. I'll throw out two or three short ones. At least I'll try.
When I was 17 years old, I was in a tree stand, bow hunting about eight feet off the ground to get to this particular stand. This was off the Mississippi River across the canal. I could hear something huge running towards me. I could hear it when it jumped over the canal and landed. What scared me the most was how heavy it sounded, definitely bipedal, as if it were tapping on drums from a long distance. It just got louder and louder until it stopped in front of me about 50 yards in a huge thicket before getting close. I remember standing up on the deer stand to give me more height because I knew what was coming. It was going to be monumental.
Through the thicket, I can see it silhouetted at about a 45 degree angle, at least four feet wide and eight to nine feet tall. I don't know why, fear, I guess, but I immediately said, 'Hey, there's someone hunting here.' It immediately snorted and huffed twice or three times like it was trying to smell me. It started running again, then stopped again. Frightened out of my mind, I yelled out, 'That's a good way to get shot!' I heard the last stick break and the last thud of its weight.
I jumped out of the stand, hit the swamp behind me and waded through the alligator-infested waters to get to the levee to get back to town. The only way I could go back was through those woods.
I knew that in less than a week I was moving to Maryland. Me and a buddy decided to camp out 200 yards or more from where that happened on the Mississippi River. We did this for four or five days. We were going to walk out along the Mississippi River one night and walk through the swamp and over the levee to a friend of mine's house to watch the movie 'Friday the 13th.'
Trying to keep it short, we'll meet two more of my friends at the house. We could hear them coming on the levee by three wheelers. We were just about to turn off the Mississippi River to go through the swamp when three bright lights appeared in the air. Everything fell silent, which is remarkable for a swamp at night. Yes, it was a UFO!
Me and my buddy were standing there. I thought we would be abducted. This thing was 50 yards wide. Three glowing lights in a triangle formation, not shining on the ground but iluminating the tree tops. It was on top of a levee 150 yards from us. It was not a light bouncing in the sky a mile away, not a glowing orb, but a huge UFO! I could have thrown a baseball and hit it. It turned in a circle and soared up about 50 feet and soared straight up like a lightning bolt.
Some people claim that sometimes when Bigfoot sightings occur there are UFO sightings nearby, but this is where things get weird. Yes, I believe in Bigfoot 100%. It is my hope that I will never see one again. 100% I believe in UFOs and hope I don't encounter one again. I can't even tell these stories to my best friend without ridicule. I thought it would be funny if one could just walk up and smack the hell out of him while he hunted.
I think there's something more sinister in the woods. Of all the stories I've heard of Bigfoot, I've never heard one make noise in another story like the one did with me. I'm wondering if it was a Dogman. I did not see a snout nor a clear view of the face either." JB

OUIJA ENTITY NAMED 'AJ' - Is It Actually 'ZOZO?'
Many experiencers are aware of the entity named 'ZOZO' which is associated with Ouija manifestation. But there is another alleged entity calling itself 'AJ.' Is this also 'ZOZO?'
Marie in Sweden called in to tell of her experience with a Ouija board and an entity calling itself AJ:
“I was probably 21 because I was sharing an apartment with my sister and that would make her 18. It was in Thousand Oaks. The apartment was on the 3rd floor and we always had a bunch of friends over. It was pretty much the party apartment. So we had a bunch of friends over like once a week and we would do Ouija. I didn't have a board so what I did was, I made one. I got a big piece of cloth, like T-shirt material, jersey. I drew all the letters on it and made all the designs and I created a Ouija board. And I had like a glass ashtray. A small glass ashtray that we could use as a pointer. So the ashtray would just go over the letters and we could see through. So we had a lot of fun with it. We'd ask silly questions just for the first few times. Everybody would ask questions and it was a lot of fun and everybody had a good time. And then one night we had an entity come through.
God, I don't even like to say his name because it still freaks me out to this day, but he called himself 'AJ.' And he would just at first just kinda play around with us. You know, I think he was just kind of stringing us all along, kinda thing. We would ask who he was, when was he alive. How did he die, you know, those kind of things. And he told us that he died in a school bus accident and all of the kids in the bus died and we were like, Ooh. We were getting kinda creeped out by that and he said he felt so guilty about it and it was his fault. I know its hard to think that you could get that kind of information from a Ouija board but I mean this was over time and so my sister and I tried to investigate.
We didn't have an area but we assumed it was from the local area and we tried to investigate. We couldn't find any news stories about a major school bus incident like that. We looked at the local cemetery to see if we could see his name there. We couldn't find anything. So it got to the point where the friends would come over and this entity would always come through. We were like, "We don't want to talk to you. We want to talk to somebody else." It just got to be, you know... It was starting to freak us out. So we were thinking how do we get rid of this guy and then all of a sudden then he started coming to me in my dreams. So now I’m getting really tripped out. I'm like, I said to my sister, her name was Crystal, I'm like "Crystal we have got to get rid of this Ouija board. He's starting to come into my dreams. We gotta get this thing out of the house. It's a bad entity or whatever."
I didn't ever see him in my dream. It was like he was talking to me in my dream and he told me his name so that's how I knew who he was but I didn't see him. It was just really freaky and bizarre and scary because I'm thinking, if we can not only come through a Ouija board, of course, you know, I’m not thinking sensible, of course he come through anything. If he can come through the Ouija board, of course he can come into my thoughts or what have you. (Jimmy Church asks if they ever found out who he was). We never found out who he was and we decided to get rid of the Ouija board. So we took the Ouija board and we threw it into the big apartment dumpster out back. We just threw it away. And we were like no more Ouijaing. No more. We'll do something else. We'll have the friends over for a party but we're not gonna Ouija anymore.
So, like a week later, my sister and I are in the kitchen and we're cooking and I said get me the blah blah or whatever out, what I was asking for and she goes to the drawer to pull it out and there, folded up in the drawer is... guess what? I am serious. She's like, Maria, look in the drawer. I'm like, "How is it there? How did it get there? We threw it out. How did it get there?" We ended up burning it. We were so freaked out. So scared. That was the end of it. Once I burned it, that was it.”

NOTE: Apparently, this is not the first time 'AJ' or 'AJ Trippi' has made itself known. After a Google search, it seems several people have had other experiences with this entity. Is it a pseudonym for 'Zozo?' I contacted Darren Evans and Rosemary Ellen Guiley at the time. They both were unaware of the name. Lon
I later uncovered the following account:
"When I was growing up, we didn't know about Ouija board dangers. In fact, it was often left under the tree.
We played with it some back then but I didn't pay much attention to it, I just figured others were moving it to be honest.
In fact, it wasn't until I was 17 that I witnessed proof, to me anyways, that there was more to this board than I originally had believed.
My first ex-wife, then my girlfriend, and I were at a party at a friend's house. We were sitting around hitting a pipe with the group (hey, it was the 80s) when Ouija came up.
My friend's older brother talked about it. I was like dude, those things are just bull. He was like no man it really works, you just have to learn to use it correctly and give it some time.
He asked if I wanted to play and I said no. My ex on the other hand was enthused so he brought out the board, set it up and they began.
I'll never forget that night. I was sitting across the room watching them play.
They were asking questions, getting yes or no answers and I thought what a con. So I started thinking to myself OK, is this thing really working? Mind you I'm across the room nowhere near this board.
I repeat a question over and over in my head. No one knows I'm doing this. I keep repeating in my head, "What's Tawnya's middle name?"
The board starts moving really fast in a figure 8. I hear her ask him what's going on? He's like I don't know? In the meantime, I'm repeating my question in my head over and over.
It stops and I hear her say "A" then it starts again. Then I hear him say "N" this continues "N", "E", "T", "T", "E" then the Ouija moves back to normal speed.
He says "ANNETTE" What's that about? She lets go of the Ouija with her eyes so wide open they look like they were about to pop out. Then she says "That's my middle name!" I was like huh "Guess it's not bull" He looks across the room at me and asks "dude were you asking that?" I just smiled and said yes.
Well needless to say, she was tired of playing with the Ouija that night...haha.
Well, me being me, that really sparked my interest. I began doing Ouija sessions for a while. It surprised me but it really seemed to work.
I noticed though that every time we used this thing it increased in intensity. We would always start out talking with one spirit but then others would come through and take over the board.
This one would come through as AJ.
Through time, we learned he was a young boy who drowned. Honestly we thought of him as a friend. But then after a few months his responses became more vulgar in nature.
Sometimes outright hostile. We would get on him, threatening to end the session and not return if he didn't stop. Then the board would start moving lightning fast it trailed to the letters ZOZO.
This would keep repeating, until we decided AJ was throwing a fit. We would say goodbye and put the board away then move on with our day.
Well we were tired of it to be honest. It seemed like every time we got on it, AJ would take over and not let us communicate with anyone else. So we finally stopped messing with it altogether.
Then through the years we learned of the board's dangers and decided to let it go.
This is where this story becomes worthwhile. Just a couple of years ago, I learned of a paranormal investigator's research into a world-wide phenomenon known as ZOZO.
ZOZO is a spirit or demon,I'm not sure that has been linked to murders and suicides worldwide. He comes through Ouija sessions and works on mental stability of users searching for vulnerable victims.
Now granted, we did not fall into his game to that point thank god. However, I think it's imperative for anyone using a Ouija board to be aware of this things." SK

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:
It's interesting how some phenomena that are depicted in films & television are later seen by eyewitnesses. Is it a 'tulpa' effect or did the original creators have a similar encounter? In the years since the original 'Predator' film, there have been many sightings of the 'Glimmer Man' throughout the world, but more so in North America.
The 'Predator' franchise was originally created by brothers John and Jim Thomas. I have attempted, over the years, to gather insight as to how they came up with the cloaking concept. So far, I still have no tangible information.
Several of the Chicago Mothman witnesses who have talked to our investigative team have described the winged humanoids as being like the 'Jeepers Creepers' creature as well. Do these memes or tropes from films, the internet, and pop culture influence what witnesses observe? What are your thoughts?
In this episode, I will describe the reports and incidents in detail and answer all questions from the chat room.PLEASE SUBSCRIBE, LIKE, & SHARE - THANKS!

GREEN UAP LIGHT BEAM Disables Vehicle in Waco, Texas
An eyewitness observes a triangular craft hover over Lake Waco, Texas. As he approached, the craft landed. As the UAP ascended, a green light beam illuminated his car and disabled it.
I received the following account:
"On or about September 25, 1973, I was enrolled in a doctoral course that met from 7 pm to 8:30 pm at Baylor University. This course met two nights a week. After class, I was driving west for home when I noticed a bright light above Lake Waco. At first, I thought it was the planet Venus. However, as I continued to drive toward the lake as I lived on the west side of town, I noticed that the light was appearing more and more to my right. So I knew it wasn't but it was probably a helicopter.
Two nights later as I drove home from class, I noticed the same light again. Since I wasn't sure if it was a helicopter or something else, I thought I would check it out.
Instead of returning home, I drove over the bridge at Lake Waco and took the first exit to the right. This led to Speegleville Park. I could see the craft was on the west side of the lake in a stationary position with a white light pointing east. As I approached the craft, it turned off the light and moved to the southwest.
I could tell it was a black triangular craft. It crossed the highway, and I followed it. I got back on the highway and watched the craft cross over the highway and settle behind a clump of trees on the south side of the highway. I then took the next exit and crossed over on an overpass to the area where I saw the craft go down.
I could not see the craft as I drove slowly past the trees. The road curved back east; and I pulled up about 100 yards, turned off my lights but left the engine running.
Looking in my rear view mirror after a few moments, I saw it slowly rise from the trees and come toward where I was parked. It then pulled up to where I was on the other side of the fence. It turned to face me and remained motionless, making no sound. It was on the other side of what appeared to be a telephone line about 10 feet above it.
I could definitely tell that the craft was black, triangular in shape, about 20 feet wide and 30 feet long. It had a cockpit with a greenish hue inside, and I could see the shadows of 3 small heads peering down at me. After about 4-5 minutes, a green light appeared on my vehicle, causing the engine to die. I tried to restart it without success. I tried turning on my lights and radio, but nothing worked. Getting nervous, I locked my door.
I sat there for a good 15-20 minutes, trying every 2-3 minutes to start my engine. Finally, the engine turned over, and I drove down the road about another 100 yards where I put on my lights and turned around.
As I drove past the craft on my left, it hadn't moved. When I got back on the highway heading east, I could see it was still there.
About 3 years later, I saw what appeared to be the same craft above the lights at the south end of the La Vega football field. It was apparently observing a football game. My family and I headed to my wife's family for dinner. And I wanted to drive over and show her what I had seen years earlier; but she didn't want to see.
Having served two years in AF ROTC and two years in the US Army with a Top Secret Clearance, I can say without a doubt that this craft was not ours." NM

'BIG HAIRY DEMON' Beleaguers Southern Virginia Family
A southern Virginia man and his son investigate constant unexplained sounds around the outside of the Home. They soon encounter a massive Bigfoot in the nearby woods.
I received the following report from an associate who lives in nearby Roanoke Rapids, NC:
This sighting occurred near Blackstone in Brunswick County, Virginia. It happened in May at two o'clock in the morning. The location is an area of the resident's backyard where he's got woods that are alongside a soybean field. The witness and his son were outside armed with a pistol and a shotgun. They were checking for what had made a heavy thud sound at the back of their house. They thought it might be a burglar or a bear especially since something had been causing trouble around their property for the past two years. This is what the witness stated in his report:
"I saw a deer run as if it was being chased. Then I saw a huge figure step out of the woods. This thing was at least eight feet tall. I screamed out to this thing to stop. It moved toward us running. I told my son to shoot. He shot in its direction. Then it ran to my left flank and continued to run toward us. We ran back towards the house. I was in terror because the thing was shaped like a man but it was covered with hair. I stopped and watched it walk into the light from the house. It was huge and there was an odor that really stunk. It stayed in sight for about five minutes before it walked into the woods."
There was follow-up report from a local investigator (DK) who confirmed the event with the son. He said it was too dark to see well but he could clearly hear loud heavy running footsteps coming towards them. The witness also said it made a huffing noise and a shrieking sound when his son shot his gun.
The thing rapidly approached the father and son and stopped just 15 feet short of where the witness stood. In the seconds before the witnessed turned and ran back to his house he saw a massive creature four feet wide that dropped from two legs to a three-point crouch placing one hand on the ground. While it was too dark to make out the details of the face he felt he could see well enough to discern a surprised look on the creature's face. It looked at him panting heavily at this point.
The man and son ran back to their house where his wife was. She told DK that her husband's face was blanched white with a look of terror rand for some time he was unable to verbalize clearly. When he had calmed down enough to tell her what he'd seen he could only describe it as a 'big hairy demon.'
When the witness investigated the area the next day there were 18 to 20 inch long footprints in the field. He also found long brown and gray hair in the woods behind his home.
This isn't the first time strange things have happened at his property. There had been several occurrences of what we would call possible Bigfoot activity that he had attributed to people messing around on his property. Something had been pounding on the walls of his home and throwing rocks at his family and onto his roof. On many occasions heavy things like a riding lawnmower or trailer had been moved overnight. There had also been loud howls coming out of the woods at night.
Their young daughter had claimed to see a hairy man outside a window but the witness didn't believe her at the time. This was prior to him having this actual visual encounter where he saw this creature just 15 feet away from him. Also, the witness may have seen this creature before but attributed to activity associated to nearby Fort Pickett, an Army National Guard maneuver training center.
One evening he saw what he thought was a very large guardsman wearing a backpack and a ghillie suit walking along the road in front of his house. The second time, about a year later when he saw the figure again, he called out to the figure and it began walking fast, until it turned into the woods along the road and disappeared.
What makes this account even more interesting is that there were two reports coming out of Fort Pickett by soldiers who were training there. Both incidents occurred during the course of the same day, about two weeks prior to this witness' encounter.
DK spent several nights camping out on the resident's property, later confirming unusual howling and movement in the woods that he believes was a Bigfoot.

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:
It's interesting how some phenomena that are depicted in films & television are later seen by eyewitnesses. Is it a 'tulpa' effect or did the original creators have a similar encounter? In the years since the original 'Predator' film, there have been many sightings of the 'Glimmer Man' throughout the world, but more so in North America.
The 'Predator' franchise was originally created by brothers John and Jim Thomas. I have attempted, over the years, to gather insight as to how they came up with the cloaking concept. So far, I still have no tangible information.
Several of the Chicago Mothman witnesses who have talked to our investigative team have described the winged humanoids as being like the 'Jeepers Creepers' creature as well. Do these memes or tropes from films, the internet, and pop culture influence what witnesses observe? What are your thoughts?

Yellow-Eyed 'REPTILE MAN' Shocks Young Camper in Great Smoky Mountains!
A horrifying 'reptilian' humanoid encounter in the Great Smoky Mountain in western North Carolina was recreated for Monsters and Mysteries in America which aired in 2015 :
In the Appalachian Mountains, in August of 1990 seventeen-year-old Jamie Anderson decided he needed an adventure. He began by sneaking away from home:
“This was a trip that I decided to take on my own without anyone's permission. I was depressed and I really wanted to get away on a bus ride from Minnesota to Florida. I'm about halfway down there we reached North Carolina and I had a change of heart so I stopped there and decided to go back to Minnesota. But the next bus was not scheduled to depart for another two days. Being at my age I couldn't get a hotel or motel or anything like that. I decided to go camp out and I was prepared for camping so I made my way out into the Great Smoky Mountains area. I had a bullwhip, I had a machete, and I was pretty much prepared for any type of wildlife that was out there except for what I encountered next I was not prepared for.
It was around 1:00 – 1:30 in the morning and I woke up from this god-awful sound. My heart jumped up into my throat. The hair on my arms just stood straight up and I immediately started looking around. My first thought it was a cougar, so I grabbed the bullwhip and I started looking around for any signs of something stalking me. The noise was definitely closer. That's when I saw shadows in the bushes sort of moving. Then my eyes met whatever it was.
Its eyes were a putrid yellow. I knew right there that I was dealing with a monster. The adrenaline just took over knowing that this thing was looking at me, knowing that it was tracking me. I accidentally tripped and when I hit the ground that's when I heard the thumping behind me, like something was running. The fear of dying, it's something that I've never felt before and I was determined to defend myself. What I was looking at was nothing that I'd ever seen before. It was humanoid but it was very reptile-like in appearance. It had ridges on its head. It walked forward and I snapped my bull whip again at it. The creature snatched it with that talon-like hand and bit the end off of the bullwhip. I ran! I probably ran faster than I ever had before in my entire life. The only thing that was really going through my mind at the time were how much distance I could put between me and this thing whatever it was.”
Jamie was so desperate to escape he dove into a Cold Mountain stream:
“When I got to the other side of the river I got out and I immediately started scanning the area looking around for it. I didn't know where it was. Hey, for all I knew it could be in the water, so I decided to put some distance between me and the river. I must have been walking for six hours at least and that's when I ran into a Cherokee native man. I asked if I could get a ride back to the bus station. I looked pretty beat up, scrapes from tripping and I was still shaking from the whole experience.”
The man asked what happened:
“Something inside me told me to just tell him and there was a very long pause. I thought, 'Oh, he's gonna kick me out of the car for sounding crazy.' He goes, 'You're lucky you only ran into the one. Let's go.' We just left it at that. We didn't talk about it anymore.”

MANTA RAY-SHAPED ANOMALY / UAP Recently Observed in Brooklyn, NY
The eyewitness contacted about the sighting of a flying manta ray-shaped anomaly / UAP recently observed at 18th Ave. & 65th Street in Brooklyn, NY. Photos & sketches provided.
I recently received the following account:
"Sunday, July 16, 2023 at 8-8:15 pm - Brooklyn, NY - slight breeze, high humidity after the afternoon rain. On the corner of 18th Avenue and 65th Street looking roughly northeast, I saw a gliding black object. I originally thought it was a balloon but stopped thinking about that when I saw it go in a straight line. It was not rise the way helium-filled balloons do. This might be due to distance, but it didn't seem that big. When I first noticed it I could only see it from the side and it was torpedo-shaped without tapering. As it went along, it shifted slightly from side to side. That's when I noticed that it was more like a rounded kite with upturned edges and the top half was domed. This was like something out of the film 'Nope.' It then passed behind 18th Avenue buildings. I rushed across the street to see if I could catch it but it was gone. To do so and not go over 18th Avenue it would have had to u-turn. Now that I'm reflecting on what I saw, it was almost manta ray-like without the tail. I don't think I was looking at a drone due to the lack of lights or propellers. It glided the way hawks do, wings outstretched and using air currents to keep it aloft. My iPod has a camera but is bad at long distance photos. At the most, I would have gotten a blobsquatch.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions, or if you want photos of the location. I'm withholding my name for privacy sake." K
I contacted the witness and asked for photos and/or sketches. I received the following:
"Hello, Lon:
My drawing skills aren't that sharp, but I've also included a photo of the intersection in question to clarify. I would have been standing on the southeast corner looking across the street at the Santander Bank. The photo was taken around the same time as the sighting. However, the sky is hazy unlike yesterday's with visible clouds.
I first noticed the object at A and when sighted it would have looked like the top half of a torpedo. However, the front is blunt and not as pointed as the back. It slowly moved from A to B where it did the first of two slight pivots, the first where the top faced me and then the second where I looked at the underbelly. At this point is when I got a really clear look at it and noticed it was manta shaped only without the long thin tail. The object was jet black with no shine at all and no visible detail outside of the "wings" which moved very slightly. In the evening, you wouldn't have seen this thing.
Around the flagpole is where I lost sight of it, expecting it to cross over 64th and 18th Avenue intersection. It must have either landed on the roof or turned around, but was low enough to be hidden by the building top. There weren't that many people walking around and traffic was relatively light so unless you happened to be looking up at the right time I don't think you would have seen this thing. The sighting lasted only a minute at most. It didn't strike me as that large an object, roughly the size of a large hawk. While I'd like to believe I was looking at a drone, the lack of propellers, lights, and the way it moved made me think I was watching something organic. The way it moved very slowly reminded me of a bird of prey circled around until something to hunt is spotted.
I used the words Manta and UFO on YouTube and didn't find anything that matched what I was looking for except this. There is a drone, but I think it's an art project, made of silver material, and way more substantial than what I saw. Also it's helium filled and in a controlled environment. I don't think it

Four Corners Investigator Provides BIGFOOT EVIDENCE PHOTOS
Dave Oz, who is a New Mexico and Four Corners Bigfoot investigator, recently commented on RMS about activity and photographic evidence collected:
"There is a lot of activity in the Mogollon Rim in Arizona. I'm surprised this has not been reported more often. There are the Four Corner locations too. I know a gal who used to camp close to the site where Travis Walton was abducted by alleged aliens in the 1970s. She told me a few years back she will not camp there anymore due to observed Grey aliens and Bigfoot activity.
I remember three years ago listening to my police scanner about a gorilla observed near my home off US 64 near the Sun Ray Casino, New Mexico. On a Sunday morning at 7am a female Sheriff's Deputy reported to stopping a car and saying to the dispatch I also saw that gorilla while turning around on the highway. The area has a fair share of sightings especially in and around the nearby San Juan River from Colorado all the way into Utah.
Dave sends photos from this area."
He also states:
"I was with JC Johnson back then looking at a spot where a car had been driven off the road a few months earlier. The was heavy equipment pulling it out we noticed footprints all over the riverbank. We also observed where a tribal policeman tried to erase the footprints but didn't get them all."
NOTE: JC recounted this incident to me at the time. The San Juan River has regularly been active. Here is a link to many of the reports provided to me by JC Johnson over the years he was with us - 'Crypto Four Corners International' Investigations - In Memory of JC Johnson - Lon

Bizarrely Dressed GRINNING 'SKULL' HUMANOID Reported in Tempe, Arizona
A totally out-of-place man walked into a Tempe, Arizona hotel asking to use a payphone. Later, a police officer inquired about the man, who presumably 'vanished' into thin air according to witnesses.
I received the following account from a reader:
“Hi, Lon. I decided to send this odd weird report to you for your thoughts. I've read your blog for a few years and decided I should share this with you.
One afternoon in Tempe, Arizona, a man walked into a hotel where I worked. He had a coat on (a pea green military type coat) and butcher paper (Yes, he had butcher paper around himself like some kind of tube top!) under his coat like a shirt. In addition, one of his legs was twice as big as the other. He asked to use the pay phone in the lobby. I told him, 'Sure' not yet realizing how weird he looked (he was obscured by the desk and the entry door). We started out with a weird vibe the moment he crossed the lobby to the phone. When we finally got a chance to look at him, he walked a bit slow. However, this made sense as his leg appeared swollen. He then made a call and turned slightly to keep me and my coworker in his attention, sort of out of his peripheral vision.
Very soon we could tell he wasn’t listening to anyone and the phone made noises like it was off the hook. I decided that was enough and demanded he leave which he did abruptly by our side door.
Now the really weird part. My coworker took a picture of him on that payphone with an old flip phone. In the digital pixelation, he was moving, which rendered him blurrier than the rest of the picture. He looked like his face was an oversized toothy grinning skull! Black eyes and a hole where his nose should be! It was so bizarre! It reminds me of the story about the man made of parts in the mirrored sunglasses (a story from Victoria England in which a man encountered a man he thought was made of 'parts').
Later that day, a police officer came to the hotel asking if we had seen a man fitting the same description. I acknowledged that we had and told the police officer what occurred. I then inquired why he was asking about this bizarre man. The police officer stated that the man was seen in a nearby park by a couple who later reported that the man had suddenly vanished into thin air just a few yards away from them.
This occurred in late 2019 before the Covid lockdown. I haven't heard anything further about the unknown man, or whatever he was.” SB
NOTE: Mmm. I'm not sure what or who this unknown man or humanoid was, but it is indeed very strange. The odd photo manifestation does mirror a few other accounts that I received in the past. But, as with those other accounts, it's difficult to determine what this actually was. Interesting incident. Lon

UFO EXPERIENCER Concerned About Missing Photographic Evidence
A Wisconsin abductee and UFO experiencer contacted me for a 2nd time concerning photos that he had taken. The photos are now missing and MUFON refuses to talk to him.
I received this follow-up email from the experiencer:
"Hello, Lon. I felt that I needed to contact for a 2nd time. As you may remember, MUFON told me never to contact them again. So I want to be clear, between 1970-1975 I witnessed UFOs and was abducted with my grandmother. At the time, I reported on the MUFON CMS and talked to 'REDACTED' My experience with UFOs and what I saw didn't cause me any concern. I talked to her because I had questions.
A few years later, I took a photo of the moon and something shiny was to the right of that photo. Last year I had a short Grey alien pull a prank on me in my apartment. Earlier that year (2018) I did a report on it, but again I had a question about it. My question was 'are people that had contact with aliens, are they having contact again?'
I saw a UFO again at work a few weeks after that. It was around 50 yards wide. It came out of a cloud and then traveled along the west side heading south. It started making clouds from the UFO sides and entered back into the cloud. A few days later I did a report on MUFON and the next day the top person from MUFON in Wisconsin contacted me by email asking questions. Also a woman that worked with REDACTED (this person's name is REDACTED) called me and we talked for about 10 minutes. She wanted to meet so we agreed on a time and place.
So for a few days I answered those questions. It took awhile because I told her about the abduction my grandmother and I had. When I saw the tools section of MUFON, I decided to find out if that photo I have was a planet. The photo is on a tablet. I had a Galaxy 8 so I took a photo of it, because that tablet was not hooked up to WiFi and shared those photos. REDACTED was asked to check it out. Around 8 hours later she emailed me back and demanded I never contact those 2 or MUFON again ever.
I had no idea what had happened. I was sitting in an office at 4 am after finishing my work. I read the email I sent and couldn't figure out what had happened. Then I looked at the photos in my gallery on my phone and I could understand why she sent that email. That shiny thing is a UFO, but what else was on that UFO is not pleasant. I could see a laser-like gun and another weapon behind it.
I wish I could send the photos to you, but for some unknown reason my photo gallery was wiped clean! I saved the photo to my laptop, but it has disappeared from there as well!. Did I send the photos to you when I first contacted you? Please get back to me." EC
NOTE: I remember talking to this witness several years ago. I never received any photos from him. I will contact the witness again. I redacted the names of the contacts at MUFON Wisconsin until I receive more information. If there are any follow-up details, I will post here. Lon

'GLIMMER MAN' - CLOAKED HUMANOID, CRYPTID OR ALIEN? JOIN US LIVE in Chat - 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:
It's interesting how some phenomena that are depicted in films & television are later seen by eyewitnesses. Is it a 'tulpa' effect or did the original creators have a similar encounter? In the years since the original 'Predator' film, there have been many sightings of the 'Glimmer Man' throughout the world, but more so in North America.
The 'Predator' franchise was originally created by brothers John and Jim Thomas. I have attempted, over the years, to gather insight as to how they came up with the cloaking concept. So far, I still have no tangible information.
Several of the Chicago Mothman witnesses who have talked to our investigative team have described the winged humanoids as being like the 'Jeepers Creepers' creature as well. Do these memes or tropes from films, the internet, and pop culture influence what witnesses observe? What are your thoughts?
In this episode, I will describe the reports and incidents in detail and answer all questions from the chat room.PLEASE SUBSCRIBE, LIKE, & SHARE - THANKS!
