Incident #1000704
Neah Bay, Clallam Cty, Washington
early 1960's
Account
Letter quotes a serviceman, Rene Dahinden says he was a naval officer named Brown, rounded a curve a half mile from Neah Bay on his way back from an Air Force radar installation, and almost ran into a huge beast on two legs, covered with hair. It bounded across the road in one stride and up a steep slope, 20 feet high, in another leap. Next morning one fairly clear track on the East side of the road and a torn spot in the shale where it went up the bank. In a letter to John Green in 1981, Maurice L. Pease says he saw sasquatch footprints at Neah Bay, on the Makah Indian Reservation, the day after an Air Force man said he had seen one cross the road in front of his car lights.
