Class C First-hand BFRO #1649

Witnesses hear two powerful vocalizations near their property on the Flathead Reservation

July 1989 2:00pm-3:00pm Missoula, Missoula County, Montana 2 witnesses

Account

The witness was called outside by a relative who had heard a strange sound in the forest. Both then heard loud, resonant, high-pitched vocalizations from the woods, later seeming to come from two different directions as if answering each other. Dogs nearby barked toward the forest while the sounds occurred. After several exchanges over a few minutes the sounds stopped and did not recur.
