The witness was undergoing military survival training involving sleeping outdoors in a sleeping bag and awoke at dawn to find a large figure standing over him. The figure was seen only as a dark outline and had a strong odor while looking down as the witness lay speechless on his back. The figure then stepped back and walked away into the forest, after which the witness screamed and others came to his location.
