Class B First-hand BFRO #23509

Possible encounter with sled dog caretakers at an outdoor freezer near Isabella

October 2005 late at night, between 11:00-1:00am Isabella, Lake County, Minnesota 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion were working late at night preparing meat to feed sled dogs. While inside a walk-in freezer, the heavy door shut on them unexpectedly despite calm conditions. After exiting, they shone a light toward a trailer and saw a pair of very large reflective eyes about seven feet off the ground roughly twenty yards away. The eyes were gone after they returned with a brighter light, and the dogs that had been barking fell silent.
