Father and son hear unidentifiable sounds
Account
The witness stopped with a child by Sunset Crater to look at lava formations while driving from Phoenix to Utah. From the pine-covered slope above them they repeatedly heard loud, breathy huffing. They saw nothing because trees blocked the view, and video recorded at the time did not capture the sound. They left uneasy without identifying the source.
