Boy has a close encounter with a small sasquatch on Moscow Mountain

In summer 1963 an 8-year-old child accompanied his father to a cedar-clearing work site on Moscow Mountain. After the father felled a large cedar snag, the child climbed onto the downed trunk when a small, muscular, dark-furred being jumped onto the log face-to-face with him. The child screamed and the being ran away on two legs toward the top of the tree and disappeared into brush. Both had felt watched just before felling, but no animal had been seen in the standing tree.

The group did not pursue it or search for footprints and ended the hunt, concluding it matched no familiar animal.

UFO sighting in Idaho

While staying alone at his employer's mountain house, the guest used night vision binoculars on the porch to look at stars and the valley. About 200 to 300 yards away and 30 feet above the treetops he saw a silent hovering saucer with pulsating edge lights. It was invisible to the naked eye, so after watching about a minute he went inside and locked up.
