While driving in a national forest area at night, the guest and his friend saw a pale yellow-brown flickering light about 100 feet in the air.

Wood knock near Tenino, Washington (2017)

The witness brought youth cadets to a large private property near Tenino for an overnight field training camp.

Armed staff held a perimeter until the woods fell silent and the air felt lighter, then broke camp at sunrise and left without ever seeing the source.

November 2016 Oscoda, Iosco County, Michigan Class B #59333

Resident's sighting three miles north of Wurtsmith Air Force Base

Late at night the witness was returning from taking trash to the dumpster when he saw a tall brownish upright figure moving away from his open garage toward his camper. He lit its upper body with a flashlight and watched it glide silently behind the camper and then into the thick woods without a sound. He retrieved a rifle and searched the woods but found the terrain difficult to cross and found no tracks. A neighbor suggested a bear on its hind legs, but the witness felt the thin human-like form and silent movement did not fit.

8 October 2016 Ellington, Reynolds County, Missouri Class A #56614

Hunter in his stand makes eye contact one afternoon in Ellington

The witness was bow hunting from a tree stand overlooking a pond, hollow and log road when the woods went quiet. A large dark figure walked down the opposite side of the hollow, stopped, stepped back and stared at the witness for 15-20 seconds before continuing down the ridge and disappearing. After climbing down at dark, the witness checked the spot and concluded the height over the underbrush ruled out a human, then told his son who had been hunting separately.
