Incident #1000468
Crestview, Mono Cty, California
Sep 1979
Account
The Pacific Museum of Anthropology and Geology at Baldwin Park, Calif., has a copy of a statement by George LaSeur concerning tracks seen by him and his father on a Sunday morning in September, 1959 about a half mile off highway 395 "between Big Springs Camp, Mono Craters and Bald Mountain." In the dirt of a clearing for a power line then under construction they saw "numerous extremely large humanlike footprints" apparently made by more than one individual, one of which went over to some large wire spools and threw one against a tree (I doubt if a man could lift one) while another had turned over a heavy utility trailer and bent or broken control levers on a tractor. Tracks were betwen 15 and 18 inches and looked very fresh. They came from and went to a pine and spruce forest.
