Class A First-hand BFRO #659

Military man on training exercises witnesses three, black, bipedal animals

April 1993 approx. 3pm, sunny daytime Clatsop County, Oregon

Account

The witness was part of a demolitions training convoy descending to a staging area when three hair-covered bipedal creatures were seen watching from the middle of a quarry. The middle individual was tallest and stood still while the two smaller flankers rocked side to side. The daytime sighting lasted about 25-30 seconds, shortly after a whoop-like sound was heard from beyond the work area.
