Class B First-hand BFRO #407

Possible vocalizations heard while motorists were taking a break at turnout near La Manga Pass

19 April 2000 morning, roughly 7:40am Chama, Conejos County, Colorado 4 witnesses

Account

Four people stopped at a turnout on Highway 17 ascending toward La Manga Pass in the morning. After one person in the party gave a whoop, they heard three loud roar-like vocalizations with pauses between them. They saw no source and left quickly, later noting the sounds resembled an Ohio howl recording and acknowledging a human trick was possible.
