Sasquatch sighting near Yakima, Washington (2005)

2005 night, pitch black Yakima, Washington 5 witnesses

Account

The witness was part of a five-man team on a multi-day field training exercise using night vision. They spent two to three hours pursuing what they thought was an opposing-force scout wearing a ghillie suit. When the figure stood from a crouch it appeared at least nine feet tall and moved away silently with smooth, non-human locomotion.
