I was relieved from duty on drill weekend I was siting in a Humvee talking to my wife on the phone when I told her I noticed something very big and dark waddling back and forth about 40 feet from me that appeared to be looking in my direction I knew it was not another soldier since I was the only one there at the time everybody lees was over 200 meters from my location I told my wife I thought it was a bear until I realized that I could make out the siluete it was wide and tall I would say about 6 to7 feet tall with a dome type head my wife said to shine my flash light on it but I felt the hair stand up on the back of my neck it watch me for about what seemed to be 10 to 15 mins then I saw movement as it started to run off pass the Humvee I could hear the thump of it running past me on the hard ground tell you the truth as much as I wanted to shine a light on it I was scared silly my wife could not believe what I saw. 5am the next morning I went back but since the ground was hard there were no visible footprints.
