11
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:48.240
<v Speaker 2>I talked to this veteran one time from the Vietnam War,

12
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:50.759
<v Speaker 2>and I'll tell you exactly where I was in Low's.

13
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:54.000
<v Speaker 2>I think I was in the tool section and I

14
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:57.079
<v Speaker 2>get a call from this guy. He had sent me

15
00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:59.920
<v Speaker 2>a real brief email and I could never get a

16
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:03.079
<v Speaker 2>hold of them, and he had mentioned Vietnam and the

17
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.239
<v Speaker 2>rock apes, which I've always been fascinated with, and so

18
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:08.719
<v Speaker 2>I sent him my number just because he would never

19
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:12.560
<v Speaker 2>pick up his phone. And so he calls me and

20
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:14.879
<v Speaker 2>I begged this guy to come on the air. I mean,

21
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:18.560
<v Speaker 2>I rarely ever, I could probably count on one hand

22
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:20.519
<v Speaker 2>how many times I've begged someone to come on the air.

23
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:22.439
<v Speaker 3>This guy was probably the top of the list.

24
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:27.760
<v Speaker 2>But he was this veteran, and he was an older guy,

25
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:31.519
<v Speaker 2>and he said, you know, he goes, my nephew told

26
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:32.599
<v Speaker 2>me to listen to your show.

27
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:37.120
<v Speaker 3>And he goes, I think i've seen one of those.

28
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:39.280
<v Speaker 2>Sasquatches that you guys talk about, or I've seen those

29
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:42.079
<v Speaker 2>sasquatches that you guys talk about, and he goes, When

30
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:44.760
<v Speaker 2>I was in Vietnam, we would run into them all

31
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:47.599
<v Speaker 2>the time. And he would say, you know, in Vietnam,

32
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:53.159
<v Speaker 2>there's gibbons, there's snubnosed monkeys, there's He goes, we were

33
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.560
<v Speaker 2>aware of the primates in Vietnam. He goes, generally they're

34
00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:01.480
<v Speaker 2>not that big anyway, but he goes, these things were very,

35
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:06.799
<v Speaker 2>very different. And not only were the US troops terrified

36
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:10.080
<v Speaker 2>of these sayings, the Vietcong was terrified of these things.

37
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:13.960
<v Speaker 2>And he said many times they had run into them

38
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.680
<v Speaker 2>thinking that it was the enemy force when it happened

39
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:21.520
<v Speaker 2>to be these things. And he goes, but you know,

40
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:24.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if they're actual sasquatches or not. And

41
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:26.240
<v Speaker 2>I said, why is that. And he goes, because they

42
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:28.599
<v Speaker 2>weren't that big. He goes, I'm talking four to six

43
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:29.240
<v Speaker 2>feet tall.

44
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:31.840
<v Speaker 3>He goes. They were wide, and they.

45
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:36.240
<v Speaker 2>Were stocky, and he goes generally, he goes, most of

46
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:39.080
<v Speaker 2>them kind of had a reddish brown color to them.

47
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:41.080
<v Speaker 3>There was a few black ones.

48
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:44.000
<v Speaker 2>One time they were out on patrol and they came

49
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:48.759
<v Speaker 2>across four of them. And this is after many encounters

50
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:51.879
<v Speaker 2>with these things, to look at them, like in the

51
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:54.080
<v Speaker 2>actual face, they kind.

52
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:56.800
<v Speaker 3>Of look human. He goes, it's really weird.

53
00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:59.680
<v Speaker 2>It's not you know, your snubnosed monkey and some of

54
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:03.120
<v Speaker 2>the other macacus and their primeates we've run into, I

55
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:05.800
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't say they looked human in the face. He goes,

56
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.960
<v Speaker 2>These rock apes looked kind of human in the face.

57
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:12.879
<v Speaker 2>He said they had teeth like humans. And I asked

58
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:15.199
<v Speaker 2>him if they had fangs, and he said no, he'd

59
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:16.639
<v Speaker 2>never seen any of them with fangs.

60
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:19.520
<v Speaker 3>He said they all had square teeth, square white teeth.

61
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:23.000
<v Speaker 2>But they had come across four of them one time

62
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:26.039
<v Speaker 2>while they were on a patrol, and he said it

63
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:29.840
<v Speaker 2>was two males and two females, and the males just

64
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:34.280
<v Speaker 2>went nuts. They were screaming at them. They were, and

65
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.240
<v Speaker 2>he goes, all the soldiers are in shock, were like

66
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:37.319
<v Speaker 2>do we shoot these things?

67
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:38.120
<v Speaker 3>Do we you know?

68
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:40.599
<v Speaker 2>It was like that moment of shock of like okay,

69
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:43.879
<v Speaker 2>what is this. But he said they would come into

70
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:48.240
<v Speaker 2>their camp early in the morning throw rocks at them.

71
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:51.280
<v Speaker 2>One time one came into camp and it was screaming

72
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:54.599
<v Speaker 2>at them and shaking, shaking its fist. He said that

73
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:58.680
<v Speaker 2>they they talk. He goes, I'm telling you, they talk,

74
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:03.960
<v Speaker 2>not lie. An animal talks. He goes, it's some weird

75
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:08.120
<v Speaker 2>he goes, it sounds like an like an Asian language.

76
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.719
<v Speaker 2>Now he'd never heard of he didn't know Ron moorehead was,

77
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:12.800
<v Speaker 2>he'd never heard of the samurai Chad. He didn't know

78
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.199
<v Speaker 2>any of that stuff. He goes, but it's almost kind

79
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:17.439
<v Speaker 2>of like an Asian tone to it. And he goes

80
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:20.079
<v Speaker 2>a chatter back and forth, and they have real short

81
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:23.160
<v Speaker 2>tempers and there was a lot of He knew if

82
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.720
<v Speaker 2>two soldiers that actually one had to be metavacked out

83
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:29.920
<v Speaker 2>of there, but two soldiers that were actually hitting the

84
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:32.839
<v Speaker 2>head with rocks from these things. And he goes, I

85
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:35.079
<v Speaker 2>don't know how these things have the aim that they have,

86
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:38.079
<v Speaker 2>but they would throw rocks at us. From pretty far

87
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:41.800
<v Speaker 2>away at a distance, and they would nail us with

88
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:45.639
<v Speaker 2>these rocks. And two soldiers he knew one had actually

89
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.839
<v Speaker 2>had been knocked out, totally cut, sliced open his head,

90
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:52.600
<v Speaker 2>huge rock hit him in the head. But he said

91
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:56.560
<v Speaker 2>they were They acted very human like in their behavior,

92
00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.480
<v Speaker 2>almost like you know someone in your yard or someone

93
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:03.959
<v Speaker 2>setting up shop on your property, how you would react

94
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:05.800
<v Speaker 2>to it. He goes, that's how they kind of reacted,

95
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:10.079
<v Speaker 2>but he went into a lot of different details, and

96
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:12.120
<v Speaker 2>he goes, they have no problems with the confrontation.
