1
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,199
Speaker 1: I am part of a classified project within the US

2
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:16,039
military hunting some of the deadliest creatures roaming North America.

3
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,239
I'm one of one hundred and ten soldiers handpicked from

4
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,160
the best of the best in special forces. Some are

5
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,480
rookies and some are in their second or third reenlistment,

6
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,640
and some of us are career Within this company, we

7
00:00:31,719 --> 00:00:36,640
have ten teams, each consisting of nine riflemen, one sniper,

8
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,439
and one k nine. Usually two teams are stationed on

9
00:00:41,439 --> 00:00:45,240
one base at a time, spread across the country. As

10
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,679
a company, we work on several missions each year. Our

11
00:00:49,719 --> 00:00:54,000
primary mission is to seek and eliminate hostels and recover civilians.

12
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,000
Most of our assignments are in the continental United States,

13
00:00:58,439 --> 00:01:01,560
but we have worked outside the country on several occasions.

14
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,680
Our company was first formed during President Lyndon B. Johnson's

15
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,159
term in office. He had a keen interest in finding

16
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,640
and proving the existence of the sort of critters we've

17
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:18,560
been charged to hunt. Following the Patterson Gemlin film, he

18
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:23,040
issued an executive order to establish a task force as

19
00:01:23,079 --> 00:01:26,359
part of Project Blue Book. Before the Air Force shut

20
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:31,040
down that program, we survived and over the years transitioned

21
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,319
into the company we are today. We evolved from a

22
00:01:35,359 --> 00:01:39,000
team of scientists and researchers into a team of special

23
00:01:39,079 --> 00:01:42,959
forces after research proved that things that go bump in

24
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,519
the night are real and they pose a serious threat.

25
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,280
We still have scientists working with our company, but they

26
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,599
are rarely caught in the field. On more than one occasion,

27
00:01:54,719 --> 00:01:57,959
someone on my team has mentioned one of your episodes

28
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,920
saying we were there, or I remember that place. One

29
00:02:02,959 --> 00:02:05,840
of the stories took place in British Columbia, and I

30
00:02:05,879 --> 00:02:08,280
believe it was one of our companies on loan to

31
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,759
Canada that took part in the operation. Our guys say,

32
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,360
these mounties are spoiled getting to ride horses when we

33
00:02:16,479 --> 00:02:19,879
have to foot it into our destinations more times than not,

34
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:26,120
or drop in by parachute into complete darkness. On several missions,

35
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,520
we captured multiple bigfoots alive, including most of the infants

36
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,879
and toddlers and several females, and once an alpha male

37
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,560
who stood over eleven feet tall. We had to hit

38
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,280
him with three rhino tranquilizer darts before he finally keeled over.

39
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:50,280
Even then, he wasn't totally knocked out, just knocked out enough. Unfortunately,

40
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,159
taking him alive cost us two very good soldiers. The

41
00:02:54,199 --> 00:02:57,400
first two darts had no effect on him. Because someone

42
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,520
high up in the chain of command wanted him alive.

43
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,719
We were not allowed to use deadly force, not even

44
00:03:04,759 --> 00:03:09,680
when he started killing our team. He was bound, bagged,

45
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,479
and sent to one of three locations, like all the

46
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:18,120
others we capture from memory. Our teams have eliminated several

47
00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:21,479
dog men over the past twenty years, but we've taken

48
00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:25,719
many more bigfoot over two hundred to be exact, which

49
00:03:25,759 --> 00:03:31,120
are more abundant by comparison. We were once sent to Texas,

50
00:03:31,159 --> 00:03:33,800
and as usual, the brass was eager to keep our

51
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,520
presence on the low down. It was to be a

52
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,919
quick in and out operation. We would roll into the

53
00:03:40,039 --> 00:03:45,080
area about one hundred, surround the target before three hundred,

54
00:03:45,439 --> 00:03:48,319
have the big guy bagged and tagged by five hundred,

55
00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:52,960
and be out of the area by sunrise. This creature

56
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,439
was a rogue male who had been slaughtering cattle and

57
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,719
exotic game animals at a large ranch. Once we landed

58
00:04:00,759 --> 00:04:05,000
and got to the location, it lit him up. We

59
00:04:05,039 --> 00:04:08,120
surrounded him while he was resting, and when we were

60
00:04:08,199 --> 00:04:11,639
in range, the canines were given the command to bart.

61
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,240
He popped up like a jack in the box, and

62
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,800
our snipers took him out. Not much of a challenge

63
00:04:17,879 --> 00:04:21,040
but effective and a whole lot of overkill to call

64
00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:24,120
the entire company in for a job, since we could

65
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,560
have taken him down with one team. You never really

66
00:04:27,639 --> 00:04:30,920
know what or why the brass makes the decisions that

67
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,600
they do. Once he was down, we saw that he

68
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,079
had a broken leg and ribs, probably from being hit

69
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,000
by a truck or a train, or maybe from a

70
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,439
fight with one of his own. We figured that's why

71
00:04:44,439 --> 00:04:47,399
he had taken to hunting livestock, since it would be

72
00:04:47,439 --> 00:04:51,519
easy for a creature of his size, even injured. We

73
00:04:51,639 --> 00:04:54,800
dragged him out to the clearing, where the Huey swept

74
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,759
in with a heavy cargo net and scooped him up

75
00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:01,639
and flew him off. Our next orders took us to

76
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:06,399
New Mexico. Apparently an elected official was being harassed by

77
00:05:06,439 --> 00:05:09,680
some kind of creature on his land and the police

78
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,720
hadn't been able to help. There was a rumor that

79
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:17,279
it was a gray or white extra terrestrial, which automatically

80
00:05:17,319 --> 00:05:21,360
called for the entire company to be present. The property

81
00:05:21,439 --> 00:05:25,680
consisted of a secluded home on twenty acres miles away

82
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,360
from any neighbors. We had been recounting the area for

83
00:05:29,439 --> 00:05:32,519
the better part of the evening when just about midnight,

84
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,720
one of the teams spotted it and confirmed that it

85
00:05:35,879 --> 00:05:40,560
was in fact a gray. We were immediately placed on

86
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,720
the highest level of alert. It wasn't the first time

87
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,439
we had encountered one, but we had never successfully taken

88
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,759
one out. They are elusive and difficult to kill, and

89
00:05:51,959 --> 00:05:56,759
like playing with our heads. We surrounded it and closed

90
00:05:56,759 --> 00:06:00,519
the circle to about a two hundred yard perimeter, tightening

91
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:05,199
it slowly, our green lights and weapons ready. When the

92
00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:07,920
guy to your right and the guy to your left moved,

93
00:06:08,319 --> 00:06:12,600
you stood still. Thirty seconds later you moved and they

94
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,519
stood still. That way, there was always a stationary set

95
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:22,040
of eyes on alert, watching the surrounding in each other's backs. Now,

96
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,639
our canines could not smell the gray, and it couldn't

97
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,639
pick it up on satellite imagery. But one of the

98
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,879
canines must have walked right up to it without seeing it,

99
00:06:32,199 --> 00:06:35,680
because it burst out, slashing the dog and the handler

100
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,279
and causing significant harm to both. We stepped in and

101
00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:43,399
put enough cartridges into it to push it back, but

102
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,160
it had an elastic skeletal structure that kept it from

103
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:52,319
being seriously injured. Since the firearms were not achieving the

104
00:06:52,399 --> 00:06:57,079
desired results, the soldiers closest drew their k bars and

105
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,240
went hand to hand, eventually containing it and eliminating it.

106
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,199
With enough hands on the creature, we were able to

107
00:07:05,439 --> 00:07:10,879
sever its head. There was no blood. Its skin was transparent.

108
00:07:11,279 --> 00:07:14,360
It's a dirty, light gray without any hair at all.

109
00:07:15,319 --> 00:07:18,079
The eyes were large and jet black, with no white

110
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,240
surrounding the pupils. Its body structure was what stuck with

111
00:07:22,439 --> 00:07:26,079
me the most. It was all cartilage. It was like

112
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,240
holding onto a rope and putty mixed together. The arms

113
00:07:30,279 --> 00:07:33,040
and legs were long and gangly, and the head could

114
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,519
be smashed flat and then spring back to its original shape.

115
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,959
Once it was over, we scooped it up in an

116
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,079
oversized heavy duty plastic bag and handed it off to

117
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,240
the Huey. Out of all the critters we've seen, that's

118
00:07:47,279 --> 00:07:52,120
one monster I never want to encounter again. It's just

119
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,120
a suspicion of mine, but one founded on some experiences.

120
00:07:56,199 --> 00:08:00,279
I'd like to forget that. Unlike Bigfoot, which sees to

121
00:08:00,319 --> 00:08:05,240
have evolved naturally, dog Man is part demonic, its ability,

122
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:10,199
its appearance, and its impossibility to be killed. Something's not

123
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,079
normal about all that. The last one we dealt with

124
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,839
was in twenty eighteen in the up of Michigan. All

125
00:08:18,879 --> 00:08:21,759
the units were called in because the relative of a

126
00:08:21,839 --> 00:08:26,120
high ranking military officer had been found torn apart. His

127
00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:29,959
guts were ripped out and consumed by something other than

128
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,639
the local predators. We found two more bodies on location

129
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,720
once we arrived. They appeared to be a father and

130
00:08:37,759 --> 00:08:40,759
a son deer hunting and must have shot the creature,

131
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:45,639
which fought back instead of fleeing. The brass's relative was

132
00:08:45,799 --> 00:08:49,799
unfortunately in the wrong place at the wrong time. We

133
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,600
could never have found this killer on our own, so

134
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,799
the boys in IT were calling the shots. The IT

135
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,559
teams got us using satellites. They communicate to us the

136
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:06,679
direction of travel, intercept points, and even potential ambush locations.

137
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,320
The soldiers are remarkable and smarter than most people that

138
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,639
I've ever met, and they have protected us from harm

139
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,120
more times than I can count. The dog Man must

140
00:09:18,159 --> 00:09:21,200
have realized it was in danger, because when we started

141
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,000
tracking it, it attempted to elude us. We had our

142
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,919
soldiers spread thinner than ever before, which was dangerous in

143
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,399
the sense that you would be on your own for

144
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,080
a few minutes, and if you needed back up. Our

145
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,679
guardian in the sky kept us alert and safe by

146
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,919
tracking it, directing us into a funnel formation, and pushing

147
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,639
the beast with the canines. If it attempted to make

148
00:09:45,639 --> 00:09:48,360
a break between our lines, we were directed to close

149
00:09:48,519 --> 00:09:53,000
ranks and keep it on track. It kept moving down

150
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,759
our funnel until it reached the highest concentration of our men,

151
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,120
who sprung the trap and unloaded their weapons into it.

152
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,360
Now while they gave it hell, most of us arrived,

153
00:10:03,799 --> 00:10:07,000
each of us thinking the same thing. There was a

154
00:10:07,039 --> 00:10:10,519
fifty to fifty chance the brass would fill our ears

155
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,720
at the last minute and order us to take it alive.

156
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,159
That thing could have taken more than half of us out,

157
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:23,399
even in its seriously injured state. Knowing this, every single

158
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,360
one of us unloaded our weapons into it until it

159
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,799
was a bloody pile of fur, teeth and bone. In

160
00:10:30,879 --> 00:10:33,960
twenty twenty, we were on the western side of Kentucky.

161
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,240
A young boy came up missing in the land between

162
00:10:37,279 --> 00:10:40,080
the lakes area, and we put a lid on it Quickly.

163
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,519
Four of our teams who happened to be at Fort

164
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,799
Campbell arrived just in a couple of hours and put

165
00:10:46,919 --> 00:10:50,240
enough pressure on the abductor that had abandoned its prize

166
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,240
and it fled. And at the same time, there was

167
00:10:53,279 --> 00:10:57,000
a sighting near Mammoth Cave. Two teams were flown in

168
00:10:57,039 --> 00:11:00,840
from Florida to deal with them. Fortunately, one of the

169
00:11:00,879 --> 00:11:03,960
teams started to put pressure on the creatures and they

170
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,600
escaped underground. It was useless to us at that point,

171
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,519
and since we're not fond of being tunnel rats and

172
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,960
there are way too many things that can go wrong underground,

173
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,639
we were forced to call the hunt off, but the

174
00:11:19,759 --> 00:11:24,840
night wasn't over. We were sent north instead to Posey County, Indiana,

175
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,960
in the swampy areas along the Ohio River. The IT

176
00:11:29,399 --> 00:11:33,799
team had lit up nine beasts. This was beginning to

177
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:38,000
seem like a bigfoot jamboree. We got orders to push

178
00:11:38,039 --> 00:11:42,320
these animals to central locations along the Western Kentucky Parkway

179
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:47,480
known as the Peabody Wildlife Area and eliminate them. This

180
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,600
operation took us two days to pull off, and it

181
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,960
didn't come together exactly as we anticipated. We ended up

182
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,240
guiding a group from LBL directly to the path of

183
00:11:58,279 --> 00:12:02,279
the nine spotted in Indiana and stood back and watched

184
00:12:02,519 --> 00:12:06,840
as they tore into each other like warring gangs. We

185
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,559
let them go at it until they were all exhausted,

186
00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:13,320
and the smaller group tried to back out. At that point,

187
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,799
we engaged them. When the firing started, the other group fled,

188
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,919
and to our delight, they ran directly into some claymore traps,

189
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,879
taking out all but one and giving the team who

190
00:12:24,919 --> 00:12:29,039
flew in from the southeast some target practice. One of

191
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,960
the smaller males from the LBO group got away and

192
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,320
fled north across the Ohio River. That resulted in another

193
00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:39,360
three days of us following him until we finally took

194
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:44,200
him out in the Shawnee National Forest. Most of these

195
00:12:44,279 --> 00:12:48,559
creatures travel in family groups, and they are harmless, only

196
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,799
wanting to be left alone. But we've seen time and

197
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:56,120
time again that young or juvenile males are curious about

198
00:12:56,279 --> 00:13:00,679
children or women and will on occasion take them. We

199
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,879
have also encountered other males who kill livestock or humans

200
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,559
for consumption when they are injured or no longer able

201
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,840
to hunt. These creatures will battle to the death to

202
00:13:12,879 --> 00:13:16,559
protect their family groups, and when a younger male challenges

203
00:13:16,639 --> 00:13:19,679
and defeats an alpha male, he will kill or run

204
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,000
off all the younger males of the troop to eliminate

205
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:28,559
threats and start breeding the females sooner. The most dangerous

206
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,320
bigfoots are the groups of rogue males who have banded together.

207
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,519
They travel quickly and constantly, causing tremendous harm to humans

208
00:13:37,639 --> 00:13:43,639
and livestock. One group was pursuing hunters in Pennsylvania. They

209
00:13:43,639 --> 00:13:47,360
had taken one man, snapped him in half, and shoved

210
00:13:47,399 --> 00:13:50,080
him into the fork of a tree twenty feet up

211
00:13:50,159 --> 00:13:53,639
in the air. Fish and Wildlife told the press that

212
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,240
he fell out of his tree stand and speaking of trees,

213
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,720
these creatures spend more time off the ground than people think,

214
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:06,480
especially during the day. Bigfoot also has some ability to

215
00:14:06,519 --> 00:14:10,679
influence people without making them feel threatened. Often when we

216
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,480
talk to children, they tell us Bigfoot just wanted to

217
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:19,000
show them something, or that Bigfoot only wanted to play. Yesterday,

218
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,480
we were called to Andrews Air Force Space and told

219
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,279
that our company is being deployed to Europe. I hope

220
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,279
it will turn out to be a waste of time

221
00:14:28,679 --> 00:14:31,960
and that we will be sent back home soon. We

222
00:14:32,039 --> 00:14:34,440
have been given leave for the weekend to get our

223
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,000
affairs in order, and while other soldiers are drinking and

224
00:14:38,039 --> 00:14:41,240
spending time with loved ones. I'm sitting in a public

225
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,879
library typing this letter. I'm not sure what will happen

226
00:14:45,919 --> 00:14:48,080
in Europe, but I have taken an ode to the

227
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:53,000
Constitution to protect this country from threats, both foreign and domestic.

228
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,399
I believe what this company has been doing for the

229
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:01,039
past fifty some years is exactly that. I'd like to

230
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,480
write more, but the library is closing and they are

231
00:15:03,559 --> 00:15:07,320
running me out. If I return in one piece, maybe

232
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,879
I'll share what we encountered in Europe. I've heard some

233
00:15:11,039 --> 00:15:13,320
rumors and know it will be interesting.
