Military installations are often surrounded by remote forests, open desert, and stretches of wilderness that see little human activity outside of training exercises and security patrols. Over the years, service members stationed at these bases have reported encounters with strange creatures and mysterious figures that seem to appear without warning, sometimes in areas they know well.
Drawn from firsthand accounts of American military personnel, this episode explores unexplained encounters during overnight watches, field exercises, and routine patrols. From a mysterious antlered figure appearing in the fog at Naval Air Station Lemoore, California, to an unsettling presence near the flight line and a strange creature spotted during a training exercise at Fort Wainwright, Alaska, these stories describe experiences that left witnesses questioning what might be lurking around their installations.
