Sasquatch Research Field Report 06-21-13

Most of this report is that 5% that is not recorded but experienced by SIR.  Again this mysterious and wonderful place came through.

With only Mike and myself, I was not sure of what would happen or what we would find.  In the past around the campfires I have heard some pretty exciting stuff about our forest friends here at the Central Colorado Location.

As long as I wasn’t touched I was game for anything.  This time what I experienced was much more than I expected.  As a researcher relatively new in this endeavor I haven’t had as much happen as the others.

I would listen and be amazed at the stories.  I would listen and hope that if I did this long enough that some of those interactions would happen to me.
On Friday night, this year’s Summer Solstice was different with the fires all over Colorado.  The southwest fire was so big it had turned the moon red several times.

The positive aspect of the southwest fire was it covered the moon several times and the forest became very, very dark.  Good for them but not for us.

Mike and I went down after dark to the meat pit.  As I was working on my audio recorder I stood by the food when Mike informs me that there was one right behind me.  He could see the eye shine and it was big.  Even though I was busy with my audio recorder I was able to hear the movement and knew it was behind me and close.  I was not surprised because I had just seen eye shine.  I was surprised at how calm and unafraid I was.

In the past I have seen eye shine but on this night it was amazing eye shine.  At least 3 different times on this night I had seen this amazing eye shine.  I am talking about seeing 2 bright round white lights looking at me and moving to the right.  The shine was so bright that I could see the outline of the head and neck.  They were shining at me while moving.  The movement was so smooth and quick.  I will never forget it.

At one point when I was by myself, I had one of my 2 unnerving moments.  In front of me I had just seen bright eye shine when the moon suddenly was covered by smoke.  A few seconds after this happened I heard very close to me something big and bipedal run by.  It was close just a few yards to my left.  It spooked me enough that I called out to Mike to see where he was.  I felt it tried to flank me and get between us.  I quickly found Mike and stayed close.  After this I made sure Mike close by.  I was proud that I kept my cool and did not scream.

My second unnerving moment was when I was asleep.  Something startled me and I jumped and moved to the top of my cot.  I made a startled noise and woke up Mike who was on the other side of the tent.  I am pretty sure I wasn’t touched but something happened.  I went back to sleep after mumbling something.  Strange.

The next day, Mike and I explored an area that we haven’t been in before.  We came across some unknown stick structures.  They were found in several spots and in clusters some with tree breaks.

Our forest friends are curious, resourceful and smart.  These traits are the reason why they are so elusive.  By reaching out to their humanity with respect and wonderment they have opened their world just a tiny bit for SIR.
