Account

While standing midnight guard duty in deep snow during winter training in California, the witness saw a very large bipedal figure step from behind a tree about thirty feet away. They locked eyes for several seconds before it stepped back and vanished. The witness later noted widely spaced, oversized footprints and chose to log the event as wildlife.
