Witness Accounts

In July 2005, a witness, celebrating their birthday with a hot air balloon ride, experienced a remarkable sighting of a Bigfoot. The event took place in a large field in the countryside, where hot air balloonist Bob was the pilot. The balloon, characterized by its vibrant colors, ascended to a height of approximately 500 feet before the pilot decided to lower the balloon to tree-top level for an exhilarating experience. As the balloon skimmed just above the treetops, the witness and the other passengers were in high spirits, cheering and laughing. Suddenly, one of the female passengers noticed a large creature emerging from the woods. At that moment, the balloon was only about 70 to 80 feet off the ground. The creature—a Bigfoot—was described as “tremendous,” bursting out of the forest in a hurried manner, apparently startled by the balloon's descent and the noise made by the passengers. The witness recounted that the Bigfoot appeared to be moving with a speed comparable to that of a galloping horse and made an agile turn to glance up at the balloon over its shoulder before dropping to all fours. It was noted that the creature's speed was astonishing, reminiscent of a Greyhound in a race. The Bigfoot crossed a field adjacent to a narrow band of trees before disappearing into the forest. The witness had a brief but clear view of the Bigfoot, estimating its size and bulk. They described the creature's fur as dark gray with black lines, slightly darker than that of a blonde grizzly bear. The hair seemed long and straight, appearing clean and well-groomed. The witness specifically noted the muscular definition of the creature, likening its muscle movements to those of a weightlifter flexing their pectorals. While the excitement of the moment caused many of the witnesses to forget to take photos, one passenger claimed to have captured an image of the Bigfoot as it ran away, but the quality of the photo was reportedly poor. After the encounter, the witnesses were left in a state of exhilaration and disbelief, describing the experience as "the absolute craziest thing that has ever happened" to the witness. This sighting was unique not only due to the nature of the encounter but also because it occurred from a hot air balloon, an unusual vantage point that allowed for a rare perspective of the creature. The witness concluded by expressing their astonishment and joy regarding the incident, indicating a strong desire to share the experience with others interested in cryptid encounters.
