UFO sighting in Virginia

While burning cardboard at a barrel with friends, the group watched an orange lantern-like light maneuver sharply, shift color, shrink away and blink out. Immediately after, a loud roar and crashing moved up and down the adjacent woods. The group extinguished the fire and ran inside; town friends called it a cow, which the witness rejects.

Footsteps in Virginia

As a teenager the witness hunted squirrels near a pine barren when woods went silent and he felt watched. He heard a loud thump and movement paralleling him to the yard. After firing leftover rounds, something crashed up and down inside the treeline without crossing, barked at by dogs, and was heard by parents, but never seen.

Campers have sighting above Pinecrest

A group camping with horses heard the horses startle something at dusk and then saw a huge brown figure about 6 feet tall running extremely fast across a meadow away from the horses in a cloud of dust. One tethered horse was so frightened it jumped over another horse. The witness concluded the figure could not have been a bear because of the sound it made and the way it ran.

The witness ran away through the woods to the path and was not followed.

Cousins followed for a quarter mile

The witness and a relative drove into a forested area near lava flows and walked a short distance down a trail to watch the sunset. They heard grunting and other sounds and noticed bushes moving as something appeared to follow them for about a quarter mile. Back at the car, something very close screamed and shook the bushes violently, frightening them into quickly driving away.
