Sasquatch sighting in California

The witness was driving a van with family at night when a large light-colored figure was illuminated standing beside the road. The figure was described as far taller than the van with a massive upper body. The witness braked and considered going back while the other adult passenger reacted with panic, and the group did not return.

Vocalization in California

While sleeping in his van in Alabama Hills, the witness woke at 2:30 AM to bird-like sounds shifting to crickets, then a short wailing whistle. Something pressed against the van and shook it violently while he felt overwhelming dread, pressure, inability to move and hear. After it stopped he dressed, found no tracks, felt watched while leaving, and drove to a populated rest stop.

UFO sighting in California

While visiting cousins in Southern California, six people were in a backyard at night when they saw a long, candy-bar-shaped metallic craft with a flat bottom hovering for about 10 minutes. It had no lights, rivets, or smoke. It then departed almost instantly like warp drive with no plume, terrifying the group.

UFO sighting near Placerville, California

When the guest was 16 or 17, he was with about 20 people partying on a friend's flat roof late at night. They watched a light moving like a satellite that stopped, changed direction, bounced around the sky, then accelerated away much faster. About 10 to 15 minutes later three dark, quiet, unmarked helicopters flew low over the house toward the light's direction.

UFO sighting near Placerville, California

On another evening around the same period, the guest stood in his driveway and heard a noise, then saw a yellowish glow moving through trees behind the house. The glow lit trees behind it as well and appeared about 20 feet off the ground, unlike a flashlight. He watched it float through the trees for two to three minutes until it left view.

UFO sighting near Placerville, California

About a week after the roadside sighting, the guest sat alone on his back porch at night and noticed a growing blue glow. He peeked around the house and saw a self-emitting blue ball about softball to grapefruit size floating across the driveway. It moved down the driveway with a walking-like bobbing motion, crossed to the neighbor's property, and faded into trees.

Sasquatch sighting near Corona, California

Months later the witness returned alone on a four-wheeler to explore a gated switchback road he had been warned away from. He hiked through an oak ravine to look at old trailers, then felt watched as the woods went silent. He saw a tall black creature camouflaged between a boulder and tree staring at him, fled to his machine, and crashed through brush piled across the trail on his way out.

While trying out night-riding lights on a fire road, the witness reached a turnoff toward his house and saw about six sets of eyes at different heights watching him. He assumed animals like cats, turned around, and left the area without further investigation.

Sasquatch sighting near Eureka, California

The witness had placed trash cans under his bedroom window after finding trash strewn near the woods. One night he woke to rattling, saw a cone-headed form at the cans, and watched it spin, drop to all fours, and sprint across the roughly 50-yard yard into dense rainforest-like brush at remarkable speed. At the time he dismissed it as a bear, but later interpreted the long arms and quadrupedal run as Sasquatch-like.

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.

Girl has daytime sighting near Twain Harte

At about age 12-13 the witness returned alone to a stream and rock in dense woods behind the campground. From about 15 feet away she saw a long dark-haired arm with long fingers wrapped around a pine beside the trail, then a flat dark face peer out and make eye contact. She fled past the tree back to the family trailer and stayed there for the rest of the vacation without telling her parents at the time.
