Account
While serving as OPFOR team leader, the guest camped with four soldiers on a hilltop at Fort Lewis. They awoke to live gunfire and powerful roars that made three men ill, then approached to find special-operations personnel standing over two shot Sasquatch bodies. After the female died before them, the team was removed, threatened with prosecution if they spoke, and later found the site cleared.
