Disturbing Encounter During a Snowball Fight at Big Bear Lake
Summary of the 1986 Snowy Encounter
On February 15, 1986, a group of five—three brothers and two friends—arrived at their Big Bear Lake cottage late at night for a winter trip. Fresh snow covered the area, and the group, excited by the isolation, began a playful snowball fight and made snow angels despite the late hour.
While outside, one member of the group noticed an unusual figure on the road nearby. It resembled a large man in thick winter clothing, standing silently and observing them. The figure was at least six feet tall and appeared heavy, blending into the darkness. The friends called out, but received no answer, which quickly shifted their mood from playful to anxious. They retreated indoors and did not see the figure again that night.

Collision with an Unknown Creature in South Dakota
Brandy’s Unexpected Road Incident
While driving home one September night in South Dakota, Brandy took an alternate route due to local construction. She reported moving at the speed limit when an unfamiliar animal emerged from a field on her right side. The being was covered in dark, shaggy hair, walked on four elongated legs, and, by her estimation, stood chest height.
Brandy observed the creature moving much like a gorilla as it purposefully ran into her vehicle, striking it with its shoulder. This impact pushed her van into the adjacent lane. Although she considered stopping to investigate, an overwhelming sense of unease made her continue home. That night, uneasiness lingered, prompting her to sleep in the living room with the curtains drawn.
Signs Left Behind and Immediate Investigation
The following morning, Brandy checked her van for damage. She did not discover any dents, but did find long brown hairs lodged in one of the tires.
Later that day, she returned to the location where the event occurred. Observation Checklist:
No animal remains by the roadside
No visible tracks or further physical evidence
Brandy noted that the incident site was roughly eight to ten miles from her residence. In the nights after the event, her dogs acted disturbed, barking persistently throughout the night.
Interpretations and Speculation
The force of the crash led Brandy to wonder what type of creature could hit a vehicle and cause it to move into another lane. She also believed she may have driven over the animal, yet could not find any evidence to confirm this.
A table summarizing theories shared:
Theory Description Large Known Animal Could a bear or similar wildlife account for the impact and disappearance? Unknown Animal Species Possibility of an undocumented creature fitting Brandy’s description Creature Escaped or Was Removed The animal might have left the scene or been taken away after the collision
Brandy’s experience left her with unanswered questions about the nature and strength of the creature, as well as the absence of visible traces after the encounter.
Reports of Invisible and Camouflaged Beings
Encounter in a Saskatchewan Burial Ground
In Saskatchewan, two individuals reported seeing a figure at a local cemetery. The entity was described as nearly invisible, with an almost see-through appearance. Witnesses recalled being able to faintly make out its form, which gave them an uneasy feeling while in its presence.
Key Details:
Location: Rural cemetery in Saskatchewan
Visibility: Nearly transparent, blending in with surroundings
Witnesses: Two individuals
The "Shimmering Person" Incidents
Sightings of a figure often called the "Shimmering Person" have increased lately. Witnesses say this being looks as if it is cloaked or partially see-through, referencing its similarity in appearance to movie depictions of advanced camouflage. Some have even described the entity as causing a distortion in the area it stands, making the environment appear wavy or blurred.
Trait Description Appearance Shimmery, glassy, nearly invisible Movement Fluid, difficult to focus on Nicknames "Shimmering Person", "Glimmer Man"
Transparent Figure Seen in New Mexico
A man in Deming, New Mexico, recounted witnessing a partly see-through shape on his trailer’s roof in 2006. The being seemed human in form, yet he could see stars through its body. At one point, a bright red light became visible where its eyes would be, after which the figure disappeared entirely. Shortly after, the observer noticed a dark vehicle outside, which flashed lights toward his location, adding a further layer of mystery. He considered the possibility of cutting-edge military technology, but several elements of the incident did not align with a typical test scenario.
Location: Deming, New Mexico
Event Features:
Transparent entity visible at night
Red light seen before disappearance
Mysterious black vehicle observed nearby
Military Presence and Mysterious Technologies
Examination of Abel’s Nighttime Experience
Abel’s account describes a night in Deming, New Mexico, when unusual events disrupted the ordinary. He first heard loud noises on his trailer's roof, which he originally attributed to wind and tapping. When he eventually went outside, he noticed an unsettling series of whistling sounds coming from multiple directions. The situation escalated when Abel saw a human-like shape crouched above—this figure appeared transparent, as if light reflected through it, with only a faint outline visible. The form seemed almost invisible and reportedly displayed a red light where its eyes would be before disappearing completely. After this, Abel noticed a red light moving skyward.
Event Details:
Description Observed Phenomenon Loud noises on trailer roof Wind & tapping sounds Unusual figure observed Transparent, human-like, reflective Visual anomaly Red light between "eyes," sudden vanishing Post-event Red light seen ascending in the sky
Sightings of Dark SUVs and Flashing Lights
Shortly after his encounter, Abel visited a friend to share the story. While at his friend's house, he observed a black Suburban-style vehicle parked across the street. This SUV was equipped with a light or strobe on its roof, which flashed twice directly at their residence. Abel and others have described similar vehicles in connection with mysterious or unexplained events, with the presence of strobe lights sometimes followed by lapses in memory or uncertainty about the sequence of events.
Reported Details about the Vehicle:
Matte black Suburban with rooftop strobe.
Approached the area soon after the encounter.
Emitted two directed flashes of light.
"I don't think I was supposed to see that," Abel reflected on seeing both the vanishing entity and the actions of the SUV.
Theories on Hidden Testing by US Agencies
Abel speculated that his experience involved advanced cloaking technologies, possibly military in origin. He remarked that cloaking like that observed with the transparent figure resembled effects from popular science fiction. The presence of the black SUV and the red light added to his belief that a covert operation may have been underway. Questions persist regarding why a supposed military demonstration would take place near a private residence, and the purpose of the red light remains unclear. Some have connected strobe lights from these vehicles with memory disruption or attempts to remove witnesses' recollection of certain events.
Key points related to military speculation:
Cloaking Effect: Comparable to depictions in films, notably a glossy, nearly invisible outline.
Memory Manipulation: Strobe lights could be related to erasing parts of witnesses’ memories.
Unanswered Questions: The rationale behind selecting random witnesses and the nature of the red light remain unresolved.
A list of the primary unknowns emerging from Abel’s account includes:
Origin and intention behind the transparent entity.
Purpose of the red light seen drifting upward.
Reason for the black SUV appearing at the site.
Possible link between observed technology and military experiments.
Encounters With the Static-Filled Figure
Keith’s Louisiana Experience
In 1998 in Louisiana, Keith was a young boy playing GoldenEye on his Nintendo late at night. At around 10:00 p.m., he noticed something unusual in his room. The details of what he saw were striking enough to remain with him for years.
Keith described seeing a figure that appeared to be covered in a swirling haze, similar to the static seen on an untuned television. The figure stood out sharply in contrast to the rest of the room, catching his full attention.
Key Details:
Time: 10:00 p.m.
Place: Keith’s bedroom, Louisiana
Activity: Playing video games

Traits Commonly Noted in the Static Figure
Witnesses who report encounters with this entity consistently mention its unusual visual properties. Instead of being fully transparent or solid, the figure appears to be filled with a dense, moving static.
Reported Characteristics of the Static Figure:
Feature Description Visual Appearance Filled with “TV static” Outlines Human-like but somewhat indistinct Movement Usually stationary or slow-moving Light Interaction Static seems to obscure regular features
Many describe the presence of this entity as unsettling, with its distinct appearance and tendency to appear in otherwise normal environments. The static effect makes it difficult to discern finer details, but the humanoid shape remains clear.
Main Points:
The entity is typically seen at night or in low light.
It does not interact verbally or physically.
Its primary distinguishing feature is the moving, static-like texture covering its form.
