Account
During a week-long military field exercise, the witness spent the final night alone in a forward foxhole on guard duty. Around 2 a.m. he heard loud bipedal footfalls pass his position, followed by a strong putrid odor. About 45 minutes later he heard a distant loud scream. He saw nothing and remained at his post until morning, when the odor still lingered.
