Possible protest attack on an elk hunter's camper (vehicle) in Fishlake National Forest

September 1988 around 1:30 a.m. Salina, Sevier County, Utah 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and family were sleeping in a truck camper while archery elk hunting in the Fishlake National Forest. Around 1:30 a.m. something struck the side of the camper twice about 30 minutes apart with great force, rocking the vehicle, opening cabinet doors and leaving a large high dent. The witness did not go outside to look, and in the morning found no fallen limbs or rocks that could explain the impacts.
