Class A First-hand BFRO #24265

BFRO Investigator obtains first thermal footage (very brief) outside Phillips

July 2008 1:00 AM till 3:00 AM Lugerville, Price County, Wisconsin 1 witness

Account

The witness camped alone for several nights using a thermal imager. On the fourth night an object was thrown near the tent, then a heat signature was seen peeking over brush along a trail. The figure stood and ran away bipedally while brush thrashed on both sides, and the witness left the thermal recording overnight.
