Class B First-hand BFRO #77373

Unidentified sound near Lake Chelan, Washington (1985)

July 1985 Afternoon Lake Chelan, Chelan County, Washington 2 witnesses

Account

Two hikers ascended from Lake Chelan toward Cub Lake on a sunny summer afternoon. After entering the lake basin they repeatedly heard large trees falling nearby about every two minutes and felt the ground thud, with about five falls on the way in and five more while leaving. They never saw any trees fall or anything unusual. Feeling unsafe, they turned back and descended to camp, interpreting the sounds as something trying to drive them away.
