ID,co, ,d,Feb,1997,3PM,e,TR#68-Jun’97,2,TR#65-Jun’97,Suzanne B/Nathan Peak, Crypto,desert near Idaho Falls, Chupacabra seen, 3 1/ 2 foot, 100#, ran in front of car, On the desert near Idaho Falls, Feb. 1997. Suzanne B. was driving about 3 PM in the afternoon, when a 3 1/2 foot off-greenish Chupacabra, weighing about 100 pounds, ran in front of her car only ten feet away. It had two arms and two legs, though it was moving so fast she did not get a good look at the hands and feet. It had five, two-foot long spines on its back, and had strange compound eyes, like a fly. It ran very fast with a funny gait, and was out of sight in mere seconds. She guessed it was traveling 70 mph. It did not have any wings (other reports note this).incidentally, the current thinking is that, as the Spanish re-introduced horses to the New World in the 1500’s, the aliens have introduced their pets to our times...or at least they have escaped and gone feral...or were feral in the first place?

She noticed its eyes following the traffic even, before they were out of sight. This was in a morning of August, 1969. It was a light brown color, hunched down to 3/4s of its normal height, and had its arm around a tree with white bark and the leaves far up (possibly quaking aspen). The face was not covered with hair, and the eyebrows slanted backward to a flat head, rather than a pointed or rounded head.

Summary: ODOR , DOG SPOOKED, DEAD SHEEP FOUND

Sighting Text:
#* A book shop customer (doesn't want name used) thinks he might have smelled Bigfoot in Idaho. He was assessing a hard rock gold mining claim near the ghost mining town of Florence, near RiggIns which is near the Salmon River. The area sits in an ancient extinct volcano. One night in the early spring of 1987 or 1988, his big male boxer dog started going crazy. About this time he smelled the most "God awful smell, it almost gagged you...like urine and feces from an overturned outhouse," he said. Had to chain the dog in the tent with me, and he was o.k. as long as he was touching me. The next day he found the carcass of a dead sheep, it was an old kill though, and was pretty rotten...mostly bones. The smell was different from the night before, "it wasn't the same thing," he said. He hiked around looking for BF signs, going 4-5 miles along a nearby ridge, and hunting for tracks on the roads, but found no prints or other spoor of BF, and theorized that it had followed the ridge without leaving any trace. He mentioned that his dog was a real scrapper, once attacking a bobcat and only getting a few scratches. After firing his pistol twice, the cat finally ran away and he was able to call the boxer off. He also mentioned that a bobcat he had seen at night recently had yellow reflecting eyes.
