They observed a large upright creature crossing a road on thermal, approaching to about 90 feet, then fleeing into a thicket where facial details were seen.

Paranormal encounter near Curry, North Carolina (2021)

Scream in Washington (2018)

Eleven years after the river incident, the witness was stationed at the base and took an armored vehicle into the training areas to serve as props for scout training. After dark in a large field near the river, the group heard loud screams first from the east and then from the west. Using poor night vision they watched two dark bipedal shapes move across the field toward the river. They locked themselves inside the vehicle and felt and heard something scratching and pushing on its exterior for many minutes; at dawn they found no tracks in the dry ground and learned they had been miles from the assigned site so no scouts had been nearby.

While driving slowly away down a rocky track he felt something shunt the back of his car but saw nothing when he braked.

Paranormal encounter near Lynchburg, Virginia (2001)

He spoke to them, then drove away, later finding no damage and noticing maps show the turnout on the opposite side of the road from his memory.

1998 California #911f9713-7ff9-43d3-bb7d-cce1241d0fd2

Cryptid sighting in California (1998)

Later the same year, the witness was alone paddling a 17-foot canoe on the small lake late at night. Something large rose under the canoe and lifted it a foot or two out of the water, and he balanced on its ridged back for a few seconds and saw overlapping large scales in moonlight. It lowered him back down, and he paddled fast to the dock and did not experience it again despite many later trips.
