Class B First-hand BFRO #8784

Residents Awakened by Early Morning Vocalizations

September 1992 between 1 and 3 am Burney Ca, Shasta County, California 2 witnesses

Account

The witness was woken by their mother after she heard a strange noise outside their Burney apartment. The witness waited on the porch and heard a very loud, guttural sequence of chirps and a scream, and noticed a pungent odor worse than skunk. No source was seen during a search, but the next morning a next-door neighbor said someone had been outside her elevated back window overnight.
