Dual Pursuit

Following the team's analysis of lidar data from an abandoned mine, field investigators Mireya and Ronny were redirected from their trail camera review to investigate the area surrounding the mine. Bryce had discovered a humanoid figure in the lidar scans that appeared invisible to standard cameras, noting only a distortion visible on Russell's handheld device. The researchers drew parallels to a previous shadow anomaly they documented in Washington State, theorizing they might be dealing with a camouflaged or "cloaked" Bigfoot. Meanwhile, Bryce interviewed witness Joel, an experienced outdoorsman and hunter, who reported strange occurrences during a camping trip two miles up a nearby mountain, including the sound of a thick branch breaking that woke him during the night.

The investigation employed lidar scanning technology to map the abandoned mine's interior, which revealed the anomalous humanoid figure sitting on rocks that remained invisible to conventional camera systems. Russell conducted initial reconnaissance of the mine and tracked potential movement patterns downriver, while Mireya and Ronny followed coordinates to search for physical evidence of whatever the lidar detected. The team approached the lidar findings with measured caution, acknowledging multiple possible explanations while recognizing that the data suggested a physical presence in the location. Their methodology focused on correlating the technological detection with ground-level field signs, though the episode's investigation remained ongoing as they pursued leads in multiple directions.
