UFO's And Bigfoot Sighted In Sioux City

     The article goes on to say that since the event the youngest witness has had recurring dreams of entities with large heads and no faces.

     It is noteworthy that on the prior night, the Sioux City Police Department got several reports of a "Bigfoot" on 17th Street. According to a report by Jennifer Palmer in the Sioux City Journal, residents claim to have heard strange noises and discovered tracks in their yards every night during that week. The article quoted Lori Gabriel, who lives at 616 17th Street, as saying she "usually hears the noises from midnight to 5 AM."

     "The last four or five nights we have heard branches breaking, and there have been big footprints everywhere," she further said. "Now I have found three different sets of footprints. It looked like Bigfoot, his wife, and Baby Bigfoot might have made them, like they were standing next to each other."

     Ms. Gabriel said she hadn't actually seen the Bigfoot, but one of her tenants had. Jeremy Corbin reported to the Sioux City Police Department on August 6, that he saw Bigfoot standing in front of his first-floor window. He said, "The animal was taller than 7 feet (2.5 meters) with reddish-brown hair."

     "I woke up about 5 AM, and I saw this huge thing outside my window. It had its back to me so I did not get a good glimpse of it because I did not have my glasses on. I had to squint to see it well, then it just disappeared," he said.

     Locals are blaming the Bigfoot for everything from loud noises, overturned trash cans, and letting dogs off their leashes at night. We attempted to reach both witnesses for direct comment, however Lori has an unpublished number and there is no listing for Jeremy Corbin in the Sioux City area.

     For the record, sighting of Bigfoots or Sasquatch are common in conjunction with UFO sightings. Some researchers consider Bigfoots to actually be alien entities themselves as they have been seen near and onboard UFOs. Little is known about them. Some researchers speculate that they are the hominid species from which Homo Sapiens emerged.

     As of this printing, Dr. Clayton Webster of the Department of Zoological Studies at Georg von Podebrad College was "very excited" about this new sighting. "I can not say for certain," the doctor said in a phone interview, "but all indications are that this is a close relative of the Lee County Yeti. We do not know for certain if these creatures migrate. Sightings of a such similar creature will do a great deal to garner support for developing a tracking device to aid my research."

     If any of our readers has further information on this matter, contact us at our Creatures and Monsters Department (formerly Cryptozoology). The message will be relayed to Dr. Webster.
