Multiple incidents reported by multiple hunters near Sam Rayburn Lake

He heard a series of loud vocalizations, howls, knocks and gibberish-like sounds from dense brush, with a second individual answering from down a draw. After he shouted a warning and fired a shot toward advancing growls, two unseen creatures charged through the brush chasing him to the road, where they stopped as he fled to his truck.

Movement only in Texas (2014)

The witness and his uncle were coyote hunting from a truck when they saw a large orange ball of light maneuvering in the sky and heard a loud electric-motor hum. A deer stumbled from the woods and collapsed then recovered, multiple jets converged on the light, all sound stopped, flashes appeared and the light vanished. They then heard loud tree snapping approaching the tree line and fled, later seeing a fast blue streak of light while driving away.

Strange odor precedes strange vocalizations in rural Texas

Late at night at home, the witness heard an odd noise and noticed a strong foul odor filling the house while the indoor dog reacted aggressively at the back door and door area. After his wife returned home, he opened the back door and both heard two loud, unfamiliar screams from the northwest about 100-150 yards away. No intruder or tracks were found, and dogs in the area remained agitated for several days.

Unidentified sound in Texas (2002)

The witness, an infantry sergeant, led a three-person overnight guard of an ammunition holding area in northern Fort Hood. After a chem light disappeared, the woods fell silent and alternated quiet sides, followed by a loud thunk, a cold spot, approaching two-legged footsteps that produced no silhouette, movement into a thicket, and a very large rock striking the ground. The presence appeared to circle the position for about two hours until moonrise restored normal night sounds, and bait set for coyotes remained untouched by morning.

Vocalization in Texas

Two researchers spent the afternoon and night at a remote gated pond campground. After daytime shooting and loud vehicle sounds stopped at dark, they heard long female-like woos answered by male-like moans, a heavy stomp, subtle brush movement, a guttural sound, and a heavy splash from a thrown log. Through night vision a companion reportedly saw five figures standing together across the water, prompting rapid packing and departure through the locked gate.
