Road crossing Nevada County Class A Clear all
4 January 2004 Nevada City, Nevada County, California Class A #7804

Family has two late night sightings near Nevada City

A husband and wife were driving slowly on a dark, icy, snow-covered road at night to pick up their son. A tall, dark, hair-covered biped stepped into their headlights and crossed directly in front of their car in two long strides before going into a nearby yard and hiding in trees. They continued on to collect their son.

Fall 1956 Truckee, Nevada County, California Class A #4946

Teenager has daytime sighting near Truckee

The witness was waiting on a large boulder while companions attempted to flush deer toward a clearing under utility lines. The witness reported seeing a tall, sandy-brown apelike creature walk down a ridge and cross the utility road about 40 yards away. The witness's dog chased the creature barking into the trees and returned about an hour and a half later. The witness remained still, did not shoot, and said the creature did not appear to notice them.

The Database of Unexplained Encounters. Claims are recorded as claims: the Anomadex catalogues what people reported, where it was reported, and how sure I am that it was read correctly. It does not rule on what they saw.

A quick ask from the person behind the Anomadex: if you allow analytics, Google Analytics shows me which places, phenomena and searches you're most curious about. That tells me which regions and sources to add next and what to make easier to find. It never sees your name or anything you send me, and nothing is set unless you say yes. Privacy
