Class B First-hand BFRO #33887

Retired Military Policeman remembers strange incidents while on guard duty at Fort Belvoir

15 July 1978 about 2 AM Ft Belvoir, Fairfax County, Virginia 1 witness

Account

The witness was an MP stationed at Davison Army Airfield from late 1977 to late 1979. While alone on night gate duty he noticed a deer acting alarmed, heard a noise in the dark woods beyond the street light, and saw two red eyes reflecting back at a height well above deer level. He connects the incident to repeated nighttime knocks, loud wood breaks and unfamiliar animal sounds heard around the airfield swamp and south perimeter woods.
