Sasquatch sighting (1971)
Account
An ailing homeowner told two visiting missionaries about a directed operation in the Dakotas in 1971 when he served as a sheriff's officer. From helicopters, crews pushed creatures out of a canyon toward a bait station, photographed them, and shot a female and her young. The narrator kept hidden photos and an audio cassette documenting the shooting and the female's scream.
