Class B First-hand BFRO #32308

Possible nighttime encounter experienced by campers in the West Tract of the Green Swamp Preserve

December 2011 around 2 or 3 am Dade City, Pasco County, Florida 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and his son were camping in a tent near a swamp when they were awakened by a loud unusual vocalization, followed by prolonged loud whistling that seemed to circle the camp. About an hour later the witness woke again and saw an upright silhouette pass by the tent. A third companion slept through the sounds, and the group did not stay a second night.
