Soldier on leave has a daylight sighting while fishing near Bennington

The witness was fishing near a lake dam in the afternoon and noticed a large upright creature standing next to a tree in tall grass, with its head just below branches about 10 feet up. The sighting lasted about a minute; when the witness looked down while walking toward it and then back up, the creature was gone.

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
