Four nocturnal hikers get pelted with snow near Anchorage

The witness and three companions took a late-night winter walk on game and recreational trails in the woods. On the way back they heard footsteps and branches breaking around them and something repeatedly threw snow or hard snow clods at them, while dogs barked nearby and a rank carcass-like odor was noticed. They jogged most of the way out, leaving around 3-3:30 a.m., and the witness believed deep snow ruled out a prank by a person.

Sasquatch sighting near Fairbanks, Alaska

The nine-year-old witness took the family dog to the edge of a snowy field by base housing at night. A helicopter with a spotlight moved erratically over the woods, apparently pursuing something. A huge dark being burst from the treeline into deep snow, moved very fast alternating bipedal and quadrupedal motion, then re-entered the woods with the helicopter following.

Footsteps in Alaska

The witness camped with the sibling and a friend from the city in a clearing containing moose bones and antlers. After midnight they heard branching breaking and multiple bipedal-sounding runners circling camp in the dark, fired rifles without effect, found the dog terrified in the tent and felt something touch a tent, then saw large shadows in firelight. They packed out carrying the dog while being followed down the trail, with one silent individual flushing very close, until reaching the car.

Vocalization in Alaska

While filming a solo survival episode in Alaska, the witness heard a huge vocalization like a silverback gorilla followed by a loud crashing like a freight train moving through the forest. He decided at the time not to mention it on the show because he did not want the encounter to overshadow his survival work.
