Sasquatch sighting near Quantico. Main Base VA, Virginia (1994)

February 1994 between 12am and 3am Quantico. Main Base VA, Prince William County, Virginia 5 witnesses

Account

During a nighttime training exercise, a squad of Marines heard something paralleling their movement through a power-line cut and woods. After taking a defensive position near a road crossing, two members using night-vision goggles observed a tall figure with broad shoulders partly obscured behind a large oak tree. The group continued the mission and later reported the incident to the commanding officer, who dismissed it.
