June 1997 noon Trout Lake, Skamania County, Washington 2 witnesses

Account

The witness was fishing near Goose Lake by Trout Lake and took shelter in his tent during a noon thunderstorm. He heard one loud, powerful vocalization estimated 50 to 100 yards away that echoed down the canyon and felt in his chest. After the rain stopped he smelled a wet-dog and urine-like odor for about an hour.
