"Hello. I do not know how to start this account, but here it goes. Back in 1972, I had just returned from Vietnam and was stationed with the 3rd Cav at Ft. Lewis, WA. I arrived on October 27, 1971. About a month later, the D.B. Cooper case happened (you know, the guy who jumped from the airplane with some $200,000).
Well, in February 1972, we were (3rd Cav, 3rd Squadron) assigned to the FBI and taken to the mountains in southern Washington state along the Columbia River. We spent a little over a month searching those mountains for this guy (D. Cooper, aka D.B. Cooper).
Well during the 3rd week, we were around the 6500-foot to 7000-foot altitude searching, during our search we found some dead bodies in different states of decomposition at different locations in our search area. During the 3rd week, my squad was assigned to the far left side of the line we were about 4 to 5 meters apart it was foggy that day. We had started to search around 8 AM and had been transported to an area around 7000 feet, I was the squad leader and during our search that day I found some strange structures in the forest, weird logs that had been placed in very strange positions some broken small trees about 4 to 7 in in diameter which had been broken at about the 7 or 8 feet high. I did not mention anything because it was not relevant to our search.
Now we continued searching and moving west along the top of a cliff that was running almost parallel to the Columbia River. It was close to 11 am and it was very cold. The fog had gotten a bit heavier and there was a lot of brush and small trees from a few feet high to around 12 to 16 feet. Then there was a moment that I had to walk through some heavy brushes and we got kind of separated to about 5 to 6 meters apart from the next man to my right. As I fought my way through the brush and small trees I came to a small opening about 20 feet wide I could not see my right-hand man but we could talk to each other as I crossed the opening.
I noticed to my front left a dark section of vegetation in front of me, but with the fog, I could not tell what it was and I just continued, as I approached the dark area I started to smell something rotten and nasty, I thought it was probably a dead body and move closer to take a look, the closer I got the stronger the smell became. I moved to the left and started to approach the dark spot when suddenly I noticed it move and step in front of me.
I looked and that thing was huge I could see dark brown hair but did not see the head until I looked up I mean up. This thing was about 11 to 12 feet tall and had a human face, I froze in place and tried to call for my companions but I could not utter a sound. This thing suddenly moved with such speed forward and hit me with one arm and sent me stumbling about 10 or 12 feet to the left, I tried to get control of my body but I was too close to the cliff and fell down some 30 or 40 meters. I screamed as I fell and was lucky that the rest of my squad heard me. It took them some 2 hours to get me up from the lower section I was hurt, damaged my back and left leg, and was sent to Ft. Lewis, a military hospital." DL
