Possible knocks heard near the Flat Tops Wilderness area of White River National Forest

Account

The witness and his father were dressing an elk on a steep mountain slide when they heard 8-10 loud rhythmic knocks from dense timber about 100 yards away to the south. The sounds were described as crisp impacts like rock on wood and unlike anything they could identify. The father had heard similar loud knocks earlier that same morning from up the slide.
