Encounter by a squad on maneuvers while training at Fort Stewart

Summer 2004 dusk Ft Stewart, Liberty County, Georgia 9 witnesses

Account

During military wargame training in the woods, a squad heard a low growl and high scream and saw a distant figure they first mistook for opposing forces. After they called out, the figure stood to about seven to eight feet, was judged not human, and threw rocks toward them before running to the treeline. The group reported hearing strange sounds from the woods for the rest of the night.
