"In February 1972, we were assigned to the FBI and taken to southern Washington state along the Columbia River. We spent a little over a month searching those mountains for D.B. Cooper.""Hello. I do not know how to start this account, but here it goes. Back in 1972, I had just returned from Vietnam and was stationed with the 3rd Cav at Ft. Lewis, WA. I arrived on October 27, 1971. About a month later, the D.B. Cooper case happened (you know, the guy who jumped from the airplane with some $200,000).Well, in February 1972, we were (3rd Cav, 3rd Squadron) assigned to the FBI and taken to the mountains in southern Washington state along the Columbia River. We spent a little over a month searching those mountains for this guy (D. Cooper, aka D.B. Cooper).Well during the 3rd week, we were around the 6500-foot to 7000-foot altitude searching, during our search we found some dead bodies in different states of decomposition at different locations in our search area. During the 3rd week, my squad was assigned to the far left side of the line we were about 4 to 5 meters apart it was foggy that day. We had started to search around 8 AM and had been transported to an area around 7000 feet, I was the squad leader and during our search that day I found some strange structures in the forest, weird logs that had been placed in very strange positions some broken small trees about 4 to 7 in in diameter which had been broken at about the 7 or 8 feet high. I did not mention anything because it was not relevant to our search.Now we continued searching and moving west along the top of a cliff that was running almost parallel to the Columbia River. It was close to 11 am and it was very cold. The fog had gotten a bit heavier and there was a lot of brush and small trees from a few feet high to around 12 to 16 feet. Then there was a moment that I had to walk through some heavy brushes and we got kind of separated to about 5 to 6 meters apart from the next man to my right. As I fought my way through the brush and small trees I came to a small opening about 20 feet wide I could not see my right-hand man but we could talk to each other as I crossed the opening.VIDEO LINKI noticed to my front left a dark section of vegetation in front of me, but with the fog, I could not tell what it was and I just continued, as I approached the dark area I started to smell something rotten and nasty, I thought it was probably a dead body and move closer to take a look, the closer I got the stronger the smell became. I moved to the left and started to approach the dark spot when suddenly I noticed it move and step in front of me.I looked and that thing was huge I could see dark brown hair but did not see the head until I looked up I mean up. This thing was about 11 to 12 feet tall and had a human face, I froze in place and tried to call for my companions but I could not utter a sound. This thing suddenly moved with such speed forward and hit me with one arm and sent me stumbling about 10 or 12 feet to the left, I tried to get control of my body but I was too close to the cliff and fell down some 30 or 40 meters. I screamed as I fell and was lucky that the rest of my squad heard me. It took them some 2 hours to get me up from the lower section I was hurt, damaged my back and left leg, and was sent to Ft. Lewis, a military hospital."

"A while ago I came across your site and read about David Eckhart and his family as well as other unexplained things you write about. I decided to send you my description of something that happened to me when I was 14 years old."I received the following account:"Every August my family, aunt, uncle, and cousins would spend a week camping at Cabwaylingo State Forest in West Virginia. It was a tradition because my grandparents used to do the same thing when they were raising my dad and aunt, except we were using campers. Back then we could take our bikes along and go all over the place.In the summer of 1991, my cousins (2 boys - we were all within 3 years of age of each other) decided to go to an area we had never been before. I remember seeing a trail sign that had 'Sleepy Hollow' on it so I suppose that was the name of the area. Most of the trail was along a small creek and it was a very thick forest. It was around noon time and it had been overcast all day. We were raised in a rural area so our parents didn't worry too much about us exploring the park.There was a group of large rocks near the trail so we decided to stop and take a look. We were just jabbering when we noticed a loud humming sound coming from above us. We looked up into the trees and were hit in the face with what I describe as a blast of energy.All I can remember is my cousins yelling at me because I had been knocked out. I asked them what happened and they said they were knocked out as well. We started to get scared because everything around us seemed different than before, so we headed back to the campsite.When we got back my mom asked me why we didn't come back for dinner. I looked at my watch, it was gone. I hadn't even noticed. She told me it was just after 7 pm. No wonder everything seemed strange out on the trail! We must have been knocked out for about 6 hours.My cousins and I were very tired - so much so that we headed to our bunks right after eating. I was exhausted but I couldn't fall asleep. In the morning I was feeling very sluggish. My cousins slept until 11 am. Later in the day, we decided to tell our parents what happened out on the trail.To be honest, our parents thought we were playing a stunt on them by concocting this wild story about being knocked out for 6 hours by a blast of energy. I was very upset with them, especially my dad because he never let me forget about it. To this day he still thinks it was a made up story.My cousins and I still talk about what happened that day. We all feel that we were possibly abducted because of some of the weird dreams each of us has had since. In 2005, I was diagnosed with leukemia though I'm now in remission. One of my cousins was recently diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma while my other cousin has suffered kidney disease for over 10 years. We had been 100% healthy before the incident on the trail. Though we have never seen any scars or marks on our bodies we truly feel that we were physically and mentally violated by something."

"He was walking by the stormwater drains about 100 meters from his house when he caught sight of a child-sized, 3-foot-tall or so, black-scaled reptilian humanoid creature!"I received the following account:"Hi there. I live in the capital of Australia. Canberra. My friend witnessed something pretty intense and I was on the phone while it happened. So I heard it. And heard him. He is never prone to displays of hysteria but is totally freaked out by his encounter.He was walking by the stormwater drains about 100 meters from his house when he caught sight of a child-sized, 3-foot-tall or so, black-scaled reptilian humanoid creature. He described it as having long fingers and bright cat eyes when they caught the light. It followed him home and climbed over the fence after him. It was studying him and not behaving particularly aggressive or hostile. It walked on 4 and 2 legs. He shooed it away with an umbrella, very British of him I know, which is when I heard it make a high-pitched hiss growl and take off. We wish to make an expedition to locate and take film of the adults. But we do need help. A bunch of ill-prepared idiots we are not.But questions remain. Armed or not? Night vision? Torches. EMF? Provisions. Maps of tunnels. Inform someone in case of getting lost. Fluorescent chalk markers for trail signs with black lights for picking them up. But we need to know about THEM. Details. Is there anyone in Canberra who can add a professional touch to our survival rate? Any advice on the subject would be very much appreciated. And have we forgotten anything about our equipment? Thanks." JWhen I made an inquiry, I received the following:"It's in Gordon, a suburb of Canberra. About 100 meters away from the house is a stormwater drain with underground access. It's on the same street as the local shops. The incident occurred at about midnight. My friend tried communicating with the creature at my behest. It stared at him while standing upright. Then when he stepped towards it ran. Over the 5-foot fence. It had reptilian and humanoid features. The tunnel system under Canberra is very extensive. Covers most of Its underground. All leading to rivers or lakes. Don't know what else to tell you." JNOTE: I never received another response.

2 friends encounter a bat-winged humanoid on the outskirts of Hamilton, Montana. Both witnesses described seeing the same being. Where had it come from?This is a third-person account forwarded to me:"This account took place in 2010. I was living in Hamilton, Montana with my current girlfriend. It was late at night and my friend and I would always go for a drive. We parked at an empty parking lot outside of a gym that was on the outskirts of town. My friend had his medical marijuana card and he would smoke while we talked about random stuff (we worked together, and workplace drama was usually the discussion). After we were done hanging out I started my car to head back into town. We started heading towards the outlet to take a right onto the main street. I was about 50 feet away from the outlet when I decided the mood called for some loud music. To give you an idea as to what our field of view was, the outlet had two white fences on each side that spanned the property. It was one of those fences that had two logs with spaces in between them so vision was partially blocked on the right and left side (granted it was pretty damn dark).That is when sh*t hit the fan. Out of the corner of my eye I see what appeared to be a dusty brown ball of plastic or garbage that rolled into view from the other side of the right fence. We were driving closer as this was happening but as soon as I got a better look, I knew this was not a piece of garbage blowing in the wind. I immediately realized it was a winged flesh-like creature that appeared to have crash landed during flight. I thought my eyes were deceiving me and I immediately turned to my friend who let out one of the most blood curdling screams I have heard in my entire life. I kept looking at him and looking back at this "thing." My friend was so scared he flew his legs into the air (up against the passenger window and windshield) as if that would shield him from this creature we were approaching. I kept repeating, "WHAT IS THAT, WHAT IS THAT?" As soon as the creature came to its senses it planted its feet and took off flying in the opposite direction of my car.At this point I stopped the car and all I remember is heavy breathing from both my friend and I (from the adrenaline) as we watched the silhouette of this thing fly away. The wing-span on this creature was at LEAST 6-8 feet wide. It seemed to have webbing like a bat (no feathers). We watched it until it was not visible which took a good while (Montana still has a decent amount of light pollution and we could see the contrast of this creature in the sky for 2-3 minutes before it disappeared).I remember my friend told me, "Please just take me home." We took off and headed back into town. I just kept asking, "What was that, what was that?" I don't think there were more than a few words spoken between us at that point. I just kept asking, "What was that, what was that?" He would respond with, "I don't know man."I dropped him off. I went home and told my girlfriend who was laughing at how animated and serious I was when telling her what happened. The next day, I woke up and immediately called him. I asked him, "What did you see?" I wanted him to tell me first so that what I had to say did not influence him in his recollection of this creature. He told me, "It was a flesh-like creature. It was not a bird, there were no feathers." I asked him, "What color was it?" He told me, "Brown-ish and...." I said, "Sort of gray?" He said, "OMG, yes."I no longer talk to this friend as he slipped into a unfortunate issue with prescription pills. I wish we still had a friendship as I have wanted to talk to him about this event since it has happened. We both saw the exact same thing. I am the type of person to laugh in the face of ghost/paranormal stuff. If I don't see it, I don't believe it. I still to this day cannot explain what I saw, I still get chills when thinking about my friends scream. The way I describe this thing is a gigantic bat/humanoid with wings. There was not one feather on this flying creature (I mention this because anyone I tell this story to tells me I probably saw a bird of some sort).My theory as to why it was rolling around on the ground as if it crash landed out of the sky? I think my subwoofer/sound system might have messed with its navigation and that is another reason I feel it might have been a gigantic bat. Can you help explain what I might have seen? Has anyone had similar experience with gigantic bat-like creatures?It might be worth mentioning Rocky Mountain Labs is in Hamilton, MT. This is one of the highest security laboratories in the world. My ex-boss's ex-husband works there and the only thing she knew about this job was that he took care of the animals. The deadliest diseases are held in this lab and there are monkeys and other animals that are used for testing."
