While training a U.S. Marine witnesses a large creature near Camp LeJuene

Account

Several service members were occupying fighting holes on a hill ridge at night during a mock combat exercise when they noticed movement behind them. A large hair-covered biped that had been kneeling stood up, walked between their positions while watching them, paused to look back, and then left the clearing. The group also reported a strong unusual odor at the time.
