Sasquatch Encounters on Military Bases and in Kentucky Mines

Military Base Encounter at Fort Lewis

• 🌲 During a 2005 training exercise at Fort Lewis, Washington, a five-man military element tracked what they believed to be an opposing force member in a ghillie suit.

• 🤫 Military leadership advised the soldiers to forget what they saw and never speak of it to protect their careers, a response echoed in other unexplained phenomena reports.
• 🗣️ The soldiers discussed the encounter afterward, with most agreeing it was a real event, not a hallucination, though some remain in the military and are hesitant to discuss it.
