The Government Knows

The team investigated a remote river valley on Washington's Olympic Peninsula, focusing on a riverbank where field investigator Russell reported being stalked by a massive creature. During their nighttime investigation, the researchers documented vocalization activity, including what they described as grunting sounds and movement through the underbrush. The investigation took an unusual turn when unmarked military helicopters repeatedly flew overhead during their fieldwork. This aerial activity prompted Bryce to reach out to a former federal agent for perspective on whether government agencies might be monitoring cryptid research in the region. The team also interviewed a witness who reported an eight-foot-tall creature that appeared to crouch down and vanish after covering its face.

The investigators deployed thermal imaging equipment and audio recording gear during their riverbank surveillance. Mireya captured a thermal signature across the river that registered as a heat source but remained invisible to the naked eye and flashlight, leading Bryce to question whether the anomaly suggested camouflaging behavior. The following morning, Ronny discovered what he described as two enormous footprints near their observation site. The team noted the apparent stealth behavior of whatever had approached their position during the night. The combination of thermal anomalies, documented vocalizations, possible track evidence, and the unexplained helicopter presence left the investigators considering whether their research had attracted official attention.
