Footsteps in Washington (1988)

summer of 1988 two or three in the morning Washington

Account

The witness was on a multi-day field exercise with a platoon of cadets and two Special Forces instructors. In darkness, something heavy and bipedal paralleled the patrol, stopping when they stopped and moving when they moved. An instructor went to check, ran back, and ordered the unit to leave the area quickly.
