Class B Third-hand BFRO #1954

Brothers have strange experience above Strawberry

August 1971 late night Strawberry, Tuolumne County, California

Account

A group staying in a high-elevation pine forest reported repeated large footprints and strange nighttime sounds over an unspecified period. During one late-night episode, one person looking out from a shelter saw a large shape briefly enter moonlight and then leave. A very large size and long stride were reported for the shape and tracks.
