1 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: Okay, you all know I get these stories in people 2 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,239 just send me stories. I don't know hardly anyone who 3 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,440 sends me these stories, so I can attest to the 4 00:00:22,559 --> 00:00:26,280 authenticity of a lot of stories, and I can't do 5 00:00:26,359 --> 00:00:29,760 that with this one. However, if this one is true, 6 00:00:30,199 --> 00:00:33,640 it is a remarkable, remarkable set of events, and I'm 7 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,719 going to share it with you, So the writer says, 8 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,200 let's see her. I've been wrestling with sharing this event 9 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,119 for a year now, but today will be as good 10 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,840 time as any. It's raining today and I don't feel 11 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,560 like fishing in the rain. This account of events will 12 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,759 be one of the most controversial reports ever told, but 13 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,479 needs to be spoken for the safety of our children. 14 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,920 My name is Sergeant Robert Woodford of the RCMP, or 15 00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:10,560 Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and I'm retired as of December 16 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:15,439 twenty nineteen after thirty five years of service, which ensured 17 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,680 me of a maximum pension. I now reside in the 18 00:01:19,719 --> 00:01:23,079 Gulf side of Florida with my dog, Rocko, who was 19 00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:27,640 my service canine that also retired from the RCMP with me, 20 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,920 and this is where we spend our time, enjoying the 21 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,640 warmth and offshore fishing. I was stationed for my entire 22 00:01:35,719 --> 00:01:40,319 length of service in South British Columbia, just west of Princeton. 23 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,439 This job was the best fit for me. It's not 24 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,280 that I dislike people. It's just that I don't feel 25 00:01:47,359 --> 00:01:50,480 comfortable in crowds and I enjoy my solitude where I 26 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,680 can read, fish, hunt, work on my cars, and just 27 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:58,959 do me this job or working alone in the International 28 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,159 Space Station, where both jobs I coveted. I've never been 29 00:02:03,239 --> 00:02:06,200 married and even had a desire to date, nor hang 30 00:02:06,239 --> 00:02:09,479 out with the guys at the bar, attend sporting events 31 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:14,759 or birthday parties or Christmas parties. Nothing with people. My 32 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,759 typical day would be patrolling the highways, search and rescue, 33 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,680 tracking runners, finding contraband, anything but the warm and fuzzy 34 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,680 encounters with school kids or the public. The day of 35 00:02:28,719 --> 00:02:33,120 this event was Tuesday, June twenty seventh, two thousand and seventeen. 36 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,080 I was doing my routine patrol of the Crow's Nest 37 00:02:37,159 --> 00:02:42,159 Highway and the Chiquilahala. Think I pronounced that right? He 38 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,159 makes a note here. I know you have difficulty pronouncing 39 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:50,719 different Indian words. No crap, but you know what. I 40 00:02:50,759 --> 00:02:55,639 get a lot of emails and suggestions from people. You know, 41 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,840 you can use Google word pronounce or all these different 42 00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:03,000 kind of things. I don't really care. You know, it 43 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,960 doesn't make me feel insecure that I can't pronounce some words. 44 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,680 I just can't, and you're gonna either take me or 45 00:03:09,759 --> 00:03:13,639 leave me. It doesn't bother me a bit. So if 46 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,240 you guys can stand it, I'm just gonna keep mispronouncing words. 47 00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:23,159 But this word is cocahallas cocahalla anyway. This is the 48 00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:28,560 British Columbia Highway three and British Columbia Highway five. I 49 00:03:28,599 --> 00:03:32,080 got a call from dispatch of a reported naked child 50 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,719 running in the field, kilometers away from any homes or 51 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:40,639 campers along the highway. I responded to the call, but 52 00:03:40,719 --> 00:03:43,280 the caller didn't stay on the scene, and I had 53 00:03:43,319 --> 00:03:47,039 no idea where to look. I spent the remainder of 54 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,560 the shift, plus a couple of hours, driving up and 55 00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:52,680 down Highway three, looking into the clearings and along the 56 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:58,240 streams and waterways for any sign of this child. It's 57 00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:02,120 darkness started to creep over the eastern horizon. I decided 58 00:04:02,199 --> 00:04:04,479 to call it a day and head home and chalk 59 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,560 the call of someone either pranking us or seeing a 60 00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:13,319 tan black bear or a moose calf. Wednesday morning, I 61 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,400 informed the Post that I was going to stay in 62 00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:18,800 the area of British Columbia Highway three for the day. 63 00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:22,319 I was happy that I did, because I received a 64 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,160 call from dispatch at at fourteen fifteen of a naked 65 00:04:26,319 --> 00:04:31,240 child in a field. Again, I requested that Dispatch contact 66 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,000 the caller and have them remain on the scene until 67 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,079 I arrived. When I got to the location, I was 68 00:04:38,199 --> 00:04:43,600 met by missus Godfrey. She's an elderly former schoolteacher from Edmonton. 69 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,959 The caller gave me details of where the child was playing. 70 00:04:48,519 --> 00:04:51,240 It was one hundred meters off the highway, and she 71 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,920 stated that he ran into the bush and that she 72 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,879 had called out to him. The next comment she made 73 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,920 gave me some real concerns though. She stated that as 74 00:05:01,959 --> 00:05:04,920 he was running back to the tree line, he started 75 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,360 to run on two legs, and then he dropped down 76 00:05:07,399 --> 00:05:11,519 to all fours like an eight. I've read many accounts 77 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,639 of children being raised by wolves, apes and monkeys, even 78 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,639 a bear, but I've never believed it could be true, 79 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,480 and I wondered how this was going to play out. 80 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,199 I returned to my SUVN grabbed my tracking backpack that 81 00:05:26,319 --> 00:05:29,920 contained three bottles of water, a couple of packs of jerky, 82 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:35,839 a milar blanket, a hatchet, para cord, a machette, binoculars, 83 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,839 a flare gun, and a distress beacon just in case 84 00:05:39,879 --> 00:05:43,639 something should happen to me. I then took up my 85 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,720 C seven, which is the Canadian cult version of the 86 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,360 M four, and the long tracking leash for my dog. 87 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,079 Roco began to get excited now that I had his 88 00:05:56,199 --> 00:05:59,079 working leash and got himself all hyped up and ready 89 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,600 to go to work. Rocco was eager to get to 90 00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:05,000 the trail until we got to where the teacher had 91 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,160 told me that she had seen the child. Rocco became 92 00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:13,959 reluctant to follow. Rocco was a relentless tracker, but three 93 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,680 years ago, Rocco and three other dogs refused to go 94 00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:20,319 past the point on a track that we had been 95 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,920 on for an hour. None of us had ever seen 96 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,199 these dogs give up and refuse to proceed. As a result, 97 00:06:28,519 --> 00:06:31,399 we lost a five year old little girl. She was 98 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:36,399 never found. Missing. A child carried the weight of guilt, 99 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,240 and this one had the effect on the whole department. 100 00:06:39,639 --> 00:06:45,240 It still does this was different, though he was following, 101 00:06:45,399 --> 00:06:49,560 but not in his normal eager self. We were into 102 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,720 the trail for an hour and Roco was following the 103 00:06:52,759 --> 00:06:56,199 trail at a consistent pace, but not in a rush. 104 00:06:56,959 --> 00:06:59,519 I realized that this kid had circled back on us 105 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,839 twice and then double backed once, and then traveled upstream 106 00:07:04,079 --> 00:07:08,199 and then back. The kid was staying down wind from us. 107 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,920 It's pretty smart, but not like a child in distress. 108 00:07:12,439 --> 00:07:14,439 I would have believed that I was on the trail 109 00:07:14,519 --> 00:07:18,639 of an escape convict trying to evade me. He knew 110 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,000 he was being tracked, so I decided to sit tight 111 00:07:22,079 --> 00:07:25,319 for some time before pushing on. I wanted to put 112 00:07:25,399 --> 00:07:28,959 him at ease. But thirty minutes later we were back 113 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,240 on the scent and he must have thought that we 114 00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:34,639 had given up on him, because he stopped the evasive maneuvers. 115 00:07:37,079 --> 00:07:39,040 It had now been two and a half hours since 116 00:07:39,079 --> 00:07:41,800 we began the track when I could see a clearing 117 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,759 start to open ahead of us the three meters from 118 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,720 the edge. Roco snapped to the ground to alert me 119 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,519 of danger, and I knelt down beside Rocko and looked 120 00:07:52,519 --> 00:07:55,600 ahead to see the child three hundred meters away, where 121 00:07:55,639 --> 00:07:58,680 he broke out of the thicket alone and started up 122 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:04,040 a small incline into the old growth timber. To my surprise, 123 00:08:04,439 --> 00:08:08,040 several other people came into view. None of them wore 124 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,720 a stitch of clothing. I looked through my field glasses 125 00:08:12,759 --> 00:08:14,879 and I could make out what appeared to be four 126 00:08:14,959 --> 00:08:19,399 young women and one young male, and several smaller children. 127 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,279 As the child approached the group, I saw a large 128 00:08:23,319 --> 00:08:26,759 black bear like beast charge at him on two legs, 129 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,399 closing the distance between them at a remarkable pace. The 130 00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:34,440 child ran toward the females and they all laid over 131 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,799 him and shielded him from the aggressor. The bee stood 132 00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:41,559 over the pile of females and he roared, and it 133 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,360 was a roar like I had never heard before. I 134 00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:50,440 could feel it. Rocco was scared. He urinated spontaneously and 135 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,720 then tried to retreat back to the suv, but was 136 00:08:53,799 --> 00:08:57,399 unable to do so with my grip on his leash. 137 00:08:57,879 --> 00:09:00,200 I thought for a moment about taking a shot at 138 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,559 the beast, but I didn't believe that the five point 139 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,559 five six round would bring the beast down. That turned 140 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,519 out to be a good move, because I began to 141 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,559 make out several more of these beasts around the group, 142 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,000 and one crossing the clearing two hundred and fifty meters 143 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:20,360 up wind of us. After roaring several more times, the 144 00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:23,360 beast grabbed one of the females and pulled her away 145 00:09:23,399 --> 00:09:27,320 from the pile and began to molest her. That is 146 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,360 a subtle way to describe it. It was actually more 147 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:35,200 violent than that. It was horrible. There was no way 148 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,120 that I could take on the entire troop of Sasquatches, 149 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:43,519 that's what they were. There were too many. To sit 150 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,279 there and watch these beasts abuse these people. Cost me 151 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,639 great shame and anxiety, but I would need help to 152 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,159 rescue these people, and I would have to fight another time. 153 00:09:55,399 --> 00:09:58,519 If I hit my beacon and call for reinforcements, they 154 00:09:58,519 --> 00:10:01,799 would not arrive until after art, and even their approach 155 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,120 would give this group ample warning to retreat and evade us. 156 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,639 Looking up at the sun starting to drop in the west, 157 00:10:09,759 --> 00:10:13,440 I decided to retreat and make a plan. I pulled 158 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,480 out my phone and I pinned my location on the map. 159 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,600 On our way back to the SUV, A million thoughts 160 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,960 ran through my mind. If I reported this to my superiors, 161 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,240 they might not believe me. I could be removed from 162 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,000 duty and lose my pension, or even be sent to 163 00:10:32,039 --> 00:10:35,440 a mental health hospital. On the other side of my 164 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,559 dilemma was to just walk away like I saw nothing 165 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,159 and play it safe. But that wasn't my way to 166 00:10:42,279 --> 00:10:46,279 leave people in need, especially children that would have haunted 167 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:51,360 me forever. It would any man. Back at my vehicle, 168 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,240 I called the Sergeant Major and requested that he meet 169 00:10:54,279 --> 00:10:58,240 me at the post in Princeton that evening. Sergeant Major 170 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,600 knew something was amiss. I'd never made this type of 171 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,080 request since I had been a signed to my post, 172 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:09,440 and he agreed to meet me. After recounting my afternoon 173 00:11:09,519 --> 00:11:12,639 with the sergeant Major, I was expecting to have to 174 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,840 surrender my weapons and dog, but he simply told me 175 00:11:15,879 --> 00:11:18,000 to go home and get some rest and I would 176 00:11:18,039 --> 00:11:22,639 be called in the morning. That night was restless for 177 00:11:22,759 --> 00:11:26,600 both Roco and myself, with neither of us eating much, 178 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,960 and what sleep we did get was riddled with tossing 179 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,879 and turning, and yes, even Roco was one restless puppy. 180 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,279 But the next morning the call came at five am. 181 00:11:38,919 --> 00:11:42,080 I was instructed to meet the Corps. Sergeant major and 182 00:11:42,159 --> 00:11:46,440 his team had an abandoned logging site sixteen kilometers from 183 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,679 the location of yesterday's encounter, and recount my sightings with 184 00:11:50,759 --> 00:11:56,440 the team. The team I thought with Rocco Kennel. I 185 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,840 drove to the logging site and it was now an operation. 186 00:12:01,519 --> 00:12:06,200 I saw over forty black SUVs with horse trailers, several 187 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:13,080 marked rcmpsuvs utility trailers, along with two military grade assault helicopters. 188 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,960 There were several large barrack style tents set up, The 189 00:12:18,039 --> 00:12:21,559 horses were in temporary corrals, and a number of men, 190 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:27,440 all in black gray Camo uniforms with RCMP patches, cleaning weapons, cooking, 191 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:32,240 or sitting in groups talking. I had no problem determining 192 00:12:32,279 --> 00:12:36,200 which trailer the command center was, and I headed straight 193 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,840 for it. As I stepped inside and closed the door, 194 00:12:40,879 --> 00:12:43,720 I heard a voice from my right, Well, Bobby, you 195 00:12:43,759 --> 00:12:47,399 got yourself into a mess this time, didn't you. Well, 196 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,720 I've always hated the names Bob or Bobby. My name 197 00:12:50,799 --> 00:12:53,279 is Robert. So I turned to see who the voice 198 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,799 belonged to, and to my delight, it was a familiar face. 199 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,320 He was the core made sergeant in charge of this operation, 200 00:13:02,879 --> 00:13:06,279 a man I knew from my training. Thirty three years before, 201 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,440 and I had no problem recognizing him. Looks like the 202 00:13:10,519 --> 00:13:13,559 years have been good to you, CSM, and a nice 203 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:19,759 promotion I see, I said. Core Sergeant Major or CSM 204 00:13:19,919 --> 00:13:22,600 took me over to the round table and introduced me 205 00:13:22,639 --> 00:13:26,240 to his leadership team of five other Mounties and two 206 00:13:26,279 --> 00:13:30,360 Americans that were part of adjoint operations between the two countries. 207 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,159 I retold every detail from yesterday and answered so many 208 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,360 questions from this group. I didn't know if they believe 209 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,759 me or not. The time was O nine hundred when 210 00:13:42,759 --> 00:13:46,000 the CSM asked me to follow them to another trailer 211 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,799 with several satellite dishes on the roof, and inside that 212 00:13:49,879 --> 00:13:53,759 trailer were several monitors lined up on four walls with 213 00:13:53,879 --> 00:13:58,279 numbers on each monitor and one large monitor at the end. 214 00:14:00,519 --> 00:14:03,279 Instructed the young man who was manning the monitors to 215 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,360 pull up the map of the general location for my description. 216 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,320 They asked me to help pinpoint the location. That's what 217 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,919 I remembered that I had pinned the location on my 218 00:14:14,039 --> 00:14:16,559 phone the day prior and pulled it out and gave 219 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,639 it to the young officer with the app open. There 220 00:14:20,679 --> 00:14:23,679 was technology there that could detect any living thing from 221 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,799 a satellite to my amazement, I saw there on the 222 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:33,480 monitor several large highlighted figures, red figures and smaller orange figures, 223 00:14:33,679 --> 00:14:37,120 which is CSM began to tell me what they meant. 224 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,320 The red figures were adult sized humans, and the small 225 00:14:41,399 --> 00:14:45,600 orange figures were small children, and the large blue figures 226 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,840 they were the sisquatch. Well, I didn't expect them to 227 00:14:49,879 --> 00:14:55,360 say the word sasquatch or bigfoot. I was surprised. Looking 228 00:14:55,399 --> 00:14:58,679 at the detail of this imagery was nothing short of amazing. 229 00:14:59,279 --> 00:15:02,159 I could see moving, We could tell if they were 230 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,519 squatted down or sitting. We could see that they were 231 00:15:05,559 --> 00:15:08,200 standing or laying down, as well as walking on two 232 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,600 legs or four. The CSM told the team to analyze 233 00:15:12,639 --> 00:15:15,399 the data and he would return in a few minutes, 234 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,000 and then asked me to follow him outside to a 235 00:15:18,039 --> 00:15:22,080 camp table, where we sat down. He began to tell 236 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:27,000 me his experiences with these creatures. Ten years earlier, he 237 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,759 saw a creature while tracking a missing child. His dog 238 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,840 made great strides in getting close to the girl and 239 00:15:34,919 --> 00:15:39,120 the abductor, and when he rounded a blind turn alone 240 00:15:39,159 --> 00:15:42,159 on a cliff, he was attacked by a large, hairy 241 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,759 beast running on two feet and standing over a meter 242 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,159 taller than the mounte. The bigfoot knocked him to the 243 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,519 side and down the hill and then killed his dog. 244 00:15:53,559 --> 00:15:56,600 This attack placing him in the hospital for three months 245 00:15:56,639 --> 00:16:00,960 with a broken back and arm. Fortune, he was a 246 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,480 part of a larger group and was found by another 247 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:08,120 canine handler shortly after the attack. He stuck his hand 248 00:16:08,159 --> 00:16:10,720 inside his shirt pocket at that time and pulled out 249 00:16:10,759 --> 00:16:14,519 a laminated photo of a little girl. This is Lisa, 250 00:16:14,639 --> 00:16:17,159 he said. She is the little girl that I just 251 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,320 told you about, and there isn't a day that goes 252 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,000 by that I don't think about her and what happened 253 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,000 on that day. He told me that he had been 254 00:16:26,039 --> 00:16:29,320 following these tribes of Bigfoot with the mission to capture 255 00:16:29,519 --> 00:16:32,960 or eliminate them, and for the past five years alone, 256 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,039 he could link fifteen abductions of children and women, as 257 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,240 well as the deaths of another six males in the 258 00:16:40,279 --> 00:16:46,399 western part of North America to sisquatch. The CSM said, 259 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,679 we're always a step behind them. We don't know where 260 00:16:49,679 --> 00:16:52,840 they are until they abduct a child, but within twenty 261 00:16:52,879 --> 00:16:56,399 four hours they could have moved over twenty kilometers and 262 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,120 we have to be lucky to locate one of these troops. 263 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,319 They migrate from as far north as northern British Columbia 264 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,680 in the summer and to as far south as Arizona 265 00:17:07,759 --> 00:17:12,440 in the winter, which makes tracking them almost impossible. The 266 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,480 information that you've provided us is great and it's going 267 00:17:15,519 --> 00:17:17,720 to make our mission a success, and we thank you 268 00:17:17,799 --> 00:17:20,440 for that. You can go back to your patrol and 269 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:25,160 forget everything that you saw here. Well, inside my pocket 270 00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:28,319 I had a laminated photo of a young girl too 271 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,079 that I carried with me, and I showed it to 272 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:36,480 him and I said, I'm not leaving. The CSM then 273 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,920 spread out a topo map on the table, and soon 274 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,799 they had developed a plan to attack the tribe and 275 00:17:42,839 --> 00:17:47,359 save the people being held there. Operations would begin shortly. 276 00:17:49,319 --> 00:17:51,440 All but a few of the Mounties retired to the 277 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,680 oversized tents while CSM and I ate breakfast and spoke 278 00:17:55,759 --> 00:17:58,480 for a couple of hours about how this team was formed, 279 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,960 including the horses that were conditioned to not react to 280 00:18:02,039 --> 00:18:06,880 these beasts and buck their riders. The CSM then spoke 281 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,440 of the threat that these creatures possessed children and how 282 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,720 they are more abundant than what people realize. I was 283 00:18:14,759 --> 00:18:17,279 always taught that monsters are not real and if a 284 00:18:17,319 --> 00:18:21,720 person saw one, they must be crazy. The two of 285 00:18:21,799 --> 00:18:24,720 us then hit the rack about three hundred, but at 286 00:18:24,759 --> 00:18:28,319 about seven point thirty we were awakened by the officer 287 00:18:28,599 --> 00:18:32,559 monitoring the tribe's movements, and he informed us that two 288 00:18:32,559 --> 00:18:34,599 of the hairy men had left the group and then 289 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,440 split apart, with one catching what appeared to be a 290 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,559 moose calf and then returned to their camp to feed 291 00:18:40,559 --> 00:18:44,079 the group. It looked like they were allowing the remaining 292 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:49,720 humans to eat. The other size squats travel five kilometers 293 00:18:49,759 --> 00:18:52,359 from the group and had taken up a position behind 294 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:57,599 a small residence along the highway three. Darkness was coming 295 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,640 fast tonight with no moon in the He knew that 296 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,079 they would have to take this one out quickly before 297 00:19:03,079 --> 00:19:06,680 the main plan could be executed, and then a plan 298 00:19:06,799 --> 00:19:09,359 B was in place within just a few minutes with 299 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:14,160 three different six person teams, including a sniper with fifty 300 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:19,039 cow rifles. They were both fitted with night vision, thermal 301 00:19:19,079 --> 00:19:25,039 imaging scopes and silencers. All teams saddled up with their 302 00:19:25,079 --> 00:19:27,599 mounts and loaded them in the horse trailers along with 303 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:32,400 the two large draft mules known as mammoth jacks. These 304 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,480 mules were what old timers used to drag logs out 305 00:19:35,519 --> 00:19:39,839 of the forests. The teams then scattered to their assigned 306 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,119 starting points, and all roads into the area were blocked 307 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:47,559 and manned. While they were en route, a CSM told 308 00:19:47,559 --> 00:19:50,440 me what was happening. The house where the big mail 309 00:19:50,599 --> 00:19:55,200 was located had one adult and three kids. He suspected 310 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,799 the sisquatch was looking to abduct one or more children. 311 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,400 He was able to acquire the phone number for the 312 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,160 house and call them, telling the mother to move all 313 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,880 her children into the interior of the house and stay 314 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,279 away from the windows, that there was a large, injured bear, 315 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,559 and that the mounties were tracking and going to kill it, 316 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:19,440 and that they needed to stay put until notified. While 317 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,400 this was taking place, the young officer was helping guide 318 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,279 the three teams three to four hundred meters away from 319 00:20:25,319 --> 00:20:28,880 the creature and advancing to a shooting lane half the 320 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,880 distance between the horses and the beast. Within just thirty 321 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,799 minutes of the call to the residence, the team started 322 00:20:36,839 --> 00:20:41,480 to report into the command center. As this was occurring, 323 00:20:41,599 --> 00:20:44,599 the CSM and myself were watching it all take place 324 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,480 on the big screen. Other monitors around us showed the 325 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:54,039 body cams worn by the team members. This bigfoot was patient, 326 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,559 staying in the same spot for over an hour, but 327 00:20:58,599 --> 00:21:02,400 the silence was broken and the radio cracked. Gold Team 328 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:07,680 target acquired. A few minutes later another radio transmission Blue 329 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,640 Team target acquired, but then we heard Red Team target 330 00:21:11,759 --> 00:21:16,920 still dark. The young officer controlling the monitor replied Red 331 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:21,160 Team positioned twenty yards north. Three minutes later we heard 332 00:21:21,559 --> 00:21:25,440 Red Team target acquired. The CSM gave the command to 333 00:21:25,519 --> 00:21:31,240 execute the operation on Mark. The young officer then spoke 334 00:21:31,319 --> 00:21:36,599 into the mic all teams on my Mark three two, one, 335 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,039 Mark and the rest of us in the command trailer 336 00:21:40,079 --> 00:21:42,440 could see the white flashes of all three of the 337 00:21:42,559 --> 00:21:46,720 rifles discharge on the large monitor, all at the same time. 338 00:21:48,279 --> 00:21:51,960 The beast didn't even flinch as three fifty cow slugs 339 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,960 struck its head and it dropped to the ground dead. 340 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,200 The teams had rushed forward with their mounts and the 341 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,839 two mammoth jacks harnessed up the beast and dragged it 342 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,440 to one of the trailers. This off was over, the 343 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:12,440 teams headed back to the base. A uniform mounting was 344 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,680 sent to the house to tell the resident that the 345 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,359 bear had been killed and there was no longer a risk. 346 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,519 I was more than impressed at what I was witnessing, 347 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:28,319 watching this company's level of execution and precision. The camp 348 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,960 was now alive with excitement as the strike team returned 349 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,920 with their prize, and as they opened up the trailer 350 00:22:35,039 --> 00:22:37,839 and drugged the beast out, a smell hit me in 351 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:42,920 the face and I had to gag. The creature was 352 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,880 over three meters tall and one and a half meters wide, 353 00:22:47,319 --> 00:22:50,759 and it must have weighed seven hundred kilograms or fourteen 354 00:22:50,839 --> 00:22:56,160 hundred pounds. The CSM congratulated the teams and gathered the 355 00:22:56,319 --> 00:22:59,480 entire group of nearly one hundred mounties together and gave 356 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,160 a short speech that this was the reason they were 357 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,359 here to take out this group and recover all the 358 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,440 individuals that had been abducted, and that he was now 359 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,599 moving up the departure time to midnight, which was just 360 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:16,839 twenty minutes away. The mountains all went into business mode 361 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,880 and they sprang into action, doing gear checks and painting 362 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:24,079 their faces so that they were completely camouflaged, and then 363 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,440 the teams began to move out and get to their 364 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:32,559 assigned positions. At nearly five hundred and almost go time, 365 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,759 the young man monitoring the big screen said that he 366 00:23:35,799 --> 00:23:40,000 had three new contacts not previously seen on the satellite images. 367 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,680 They were moving from the north toward the troop we 368 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,640 were about to hit. They were carrying something alive, but 369 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,599 he couldn't confirm whether it was another human or a 370 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:55,640 wild animal that they had killed. A team of operators 371 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,720 stood in their path. The CSN began giving orders for 372 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,000 some team members to move and give these new targets 373 00:24:03,039 --> 00:24:05,720 a clear path to the group, and to hold and 374 00:24:05,799 --> 00:24:11,279 wait for further orders. As the sun's first rays were 375 00:24:11,319 --> 00:24:13,480 about to pop over the edge of the Earth at 376 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,319 five thirty, the three newcomers stopped one hundred meters short 377 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,279 of the main group and took up a defensive position, 378 00:24:20,519 --> 00:24:25,759 seeming to realize that something was wrong. Realizing the operation 379 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,160 was in jeopardy, the CSM grabbed the mic and said 380 00:24:29,599 --> 00:24:35,079 EGO status report, and the team snipers responded by calling 381 00:24:35,079 --> 00:24:38,519 out to the command center again just like before, Goal 382 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:43,039 Team target acquired, Blue Team target acquired, and Red Team 383 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:48,519 target acquired. Then the CSM yelled into the mic, go 384 00:24:49,599 --> 00:24:52,720 and the screen lit up like fireworks as the three 385 00:24:52,839 --> 00:24:56,400 watchers were dropped where they stood and several members of 386 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,440 the team threw flash grenades from as close as twenty 387 00:24:59,519 --> 00:25:03,119 yards away into the group, while others identified the hairy 388 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:08,640 men began engaging the targets. The young officer was constantly 389 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,400 on the radio calling out directions as one of the 390 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,200 three newcomers had been able to retreat the way that 391 00:25:14,279 --> 00:25:17,640 he had come, and he was heading north, putting distance 392 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,559 between him and his group at a fast pace. One 393 00:25:21,559 --> 00:25:27,400 of our gunships intercepted him and cut him down. Another 394 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,319 creature from the group had also taken flight, running on 395 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,000 all fours and was already on the other side of 396 00:25:33,039 --> 00:25:36,880 the clearing as the last line of Mounties made contact 397 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,519 and dropped him before he could escape to the safety 398 00:25:39,559 --> 00:25:43,799 of the dark woods. The humans in the group were 399 00:25:43,839 --> 00:25:47,799 altogether a different story for the Mounties as they shouldered 400 00:25:47,799 --> 00:25:51,160 their rifles and attempted to gather them up, but they 401 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,000 had also scattered in all directions, running and hiding and 402 00:25:55,079 --> 00:25:59,960 climbing trees and diving into thickets. The Moundis were having 403 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,960 to restrain them while another Mounie would have to zip 404 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:07,160 tie their hands. Others were avoiding the Mounties, running in 405 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,400 different directions and doubling back and heading for the water. 406 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,200 But with the assistance of the satellite, The mountings were 407 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,680 able to complete the roundup in one hour, but the 408 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,640 ones they captured were an unruly bunch. They were lashing 409 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:27,319 out like caged animals. The helicopters landed in the clearing 410 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,359 and began to load and transport the captives back to 411 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,880 the base. When the humans were safely back at the base, 412 00:26:34,319 --> 00:26:38,240 the choppers returned and lifted the dead squatches with cargo nets, 413 00:26:38,519 --> 00:26:42,720 and they returned them to the base as well. The 414 00:26:42,759 --> 00:26:47,359 captives were being evaluated by the medical teams. Other teams 415 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:52,559 of scientists began examining the foul smelling creatures. The lead 416 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,960 scientists was upset that one had not been taken alive. 417 00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:02,200 The CSM didn't seem to react or seem concerned. The 418 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,319 entire group of sasquatch was made up of all males. 419 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:11,000 There were eleven altogether, two large males and nine lesser males. 420 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,839 In the area, the teams found a human who had 421 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,400 recently been killed. He was a hiker from Oregon who 422 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,200 had been reported missing only a few days earlier. He 423 00:27:23,279 --> 00:27:26,400 was missing one arm and one leg, but both were 424 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:31,799 found close to his body. There was continuing research being 425 00:27:31,839 --> 00:27:35,039 done on other bones found and collected at the group's 426 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,519 camp that appeared to be a mixture of human bones 427 00:27:37,559 --> 00:27:42,839 of all sizes and animal bones of varying species, including elk, moose, bear, 428 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:47,079 and fish. The CSM and I took a trip to 429 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,079 the captive's tent, and as we opened the flap and 430 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:54,400 walked in, one caught his attention. He wasn't sure, but 431 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,799 he thought one of the females was the little girl 432 00:27:56,839 --> 00:28:00,640 he had lost years before. We could see the birthmark 433 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,640 on the back of her right arm. Identification would have 434 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,680 to be done by specialists, but he was sure this 435 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:12,440 was her. The CSM had the medical team take DNA 436 00:28:12,559 --> 00:28:15,680 samples from all the captives, even the three infants and 437 00:28:15,759 --> 00:28:19,160 toddlers that looked to be hybrids, and then they were 438 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,160 flown out for analysis. Yes, I said, the smaller ones 439 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,759 look like hybrids. They had more hair on their arms, 440 00:28:26,839 --> 00:28:29,599 legs and back and even their tail ends than the 441 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,200 other captives, and their arms appeared to be out of proportion, 442 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,880 being longer than the other children. These Harry toddlers also 443 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,119 seemed to be as wild as a trap badger, scratching 444 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,519 and biting at anybody who got close to them. I 445 00:28:45,599 --> 00:28:49,799 never imagined that cross breeding between these two species could 446 00:28:49,839 --> 00:28:53,480 be possible, but this has to mean that the sasquatch 447 00:28:53,599 --> 00:28:58,599 must be part of the human evolutionary chain. The day 448 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,200 was growing late and the tear was settling down for 449 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,680 the night, as they had very little sleep the night 450 00:29:03,759 --> 00:29:07,000 before and the day had been long and eventful, so 451 00:29:07,079 --> 00:29:09,599 I decided to say good night to the team and 452 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:14,680 I headed home to Rocco. I returned the next day 453 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,480 in the CSM informed me that the company would be 454 00:29:17,559 --> 00:29:19,599 moving out that day and I was not to mention 455 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:24,319 the operation to anyone. The captives were transported out in 456 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,920 a bus that morning along with the medical team. The 457 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:32,359 three smaller hybrids had to be restrained in cages and sedated. 458 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,880 The older captives had not spoken any words yet, but 459 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,799 we're taking food and water from the medical team. It 460 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,720 was a good sign. They looked a lot different, being 461 00:29:43,759 --> 00:29:46,519 clean and dressed now with their hair wash and comb. 462 00:29:47,079 --> 00:29:50,319 And as for the carcasses of the sasquatch, they smell 463 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,680 worse than the day before. The scientists began to load 464 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:59,200 the beast in a refrigerated trailer, and soon the flurry 465 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,960 of activity had diminished to nothing, and I watched the 466 00:30:03,079 --> 00:30:06,400 last truck pull away. The CSM and I said our 467 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:12,400 goodbyes and I headed home again. The following week, on 468 00:30:12,559 --> 00:30:15,720 my patrol, I was close to the Areo and Rocco 469 00:30:15,839 --> 00:30:18,400 and I drove back to the old lumberyard to find 470 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,759 the chain across the entrance and no sign of anybody 471 00:30:21,839 --> 00:30:25,599 being there. I walked around and noticed that the holes 472 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:30,480 from the tent stakes were even filled in. In the 473 00:30:30,559 --> 00:30:33,920 time following this event, Roco and I resumed our duties 474 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,200 as before, and I learned that the little girl whose 475 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,559 photo I carried had been one of the kids in 476 00:30:39,599 --> 00:30:43,119 the group. I could now let go of that guilt. 477 00:30:44,599 --> 00:30:47,319 The year following my retirement, I drove up to the 478 00:30:47,319 --> 00:30:50,519 small community where the little girl was from, and I 479 00:30:50,559 --> 00:30:54,079 walked up to her house, which now lay empty. I 480 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,480 knocked on the neighbor's door and asked what happened to 481 00:30:56,519 --> 00:30:59,960 the family. The lady told me that a black suv 482 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,319 he showed up and the family left with the men 483 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:06,720 that drove the suv back in August of twenty and seventeen, 484 00:31:07,559 --> 00:31:09,960 and the next day a group of movers showed up 485 00:31:10,119 --> 00:31:13,079 and loaded up all the family's belongings and left, never 486 00:31:13,119 --> 00:31:16,839 to be seen again. By any of the neighbors. I 487 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,160 never learned what happened to any of the captives, including 488 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,480 the two girls that the CSM and I knew, nor 489 00:31:23,559 --> 00:31:26,519 did I learn anything of the three hybrids that were 490 00:31:26,519 --> 00:31:31,440 in the group. I called the CSM several times over 491 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,039 the next few months, and he never returned my calls. 492 00:31:34,119 --> 00:31:37,039 That year, and I'd heard through the grapevine that he 493 00:31:37,119 --> 00:31:40,200 was on a joint operation down in the United States 494 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:44,559 for the next year. I decided I'd had enough of 495 00:31:44,599 --> 00:31:47,319 the cold, and I decided Rocco and I were going 496 00:31:47,359 --> 00:31:51,200 to move south. And since my father was from New Mexico, 497 00:31:51,559 --> 00:31:55,039 I had dual citizenship my entire life, and it was 498 00:31:55,079 --> 00:31:58,319 about time that I became a full time American, and 499 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,440 Florida looked like a great place to live. I had 500 00:32:02,519 --> 00:32:05,720 saved all my life for retirement, and I had accumulated 501 00:32:05,759 --> 00:32:09,000 a sizeable sum since I didn't have any family nor 502 00:32:09,119 --> 00:32:14,240 any expensive desires, so I purchased a twenty seventeen Boston 503 00:32:14,319 --> 00:32:18,440 Whaler for twenty in a waterfront home. Now I was 504 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,720 now on the coast where I could be en route 505 00:32:20,759 --> 00:32:25,119 into the Gulf in a matter of minutes. Some in 506 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,000 your audience will not like what I write next, but 507 00:32:28,039 --> 00:32:31,559 they need to hear it. It is fun to imagine 508 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:36,240 sisquatch as a forest guardian that dances about hugging bunnies 509 00:32:36,599 --> 00:32:40,599 and frolicking in the tall grass. Well, this idea of 510 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,880 sasquatch is idealistic and it is not based in reality 511 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,880 in any way. They are killers and they eat humans, 512 00:32:50,279 --> 00:32:55,400 and they need to be killed exterminated. They are responsible 513 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,839 for more missing people than you can imagine in this number, 514 00:33:00,119 --> 00:33:04,200 or many children. If you ever engage a sosquatch, you 515 00:33:04,279 --> 00:33:07,920 need to run for your life. But as for me, 516 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,119 I think Rocco and I will try our luck with 517 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:15,240 some snappers tomorrow. I wish you and all your listeners 518 00:33:15,279 --> 00:33:17,640 the best, and I pray that they never encounter one 519 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,920 of these creatures. Stay vigilant, went out in the wild, 520 00:33:22,359 --> 00:33:26,400 and please never let your children play unsupervised anywhere these 521 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:27,640 creatures may lurk.
