Night-time sighting by Marine training near Ft Carson
Account
During a nighttime military training patrol the witness became separated from the unit and cut through a wooded area to intercept them. Rounding a bend in the trail, the witness encountered a tall light-brown hair-covered figure standing on the trail about 10 feet away. After mutual observation the figure showed a startle response, then crouched and moved sideways off the trail while watching, kneeling behind a bush where it became hard to see.
