During the Vietnam War, soldiers brought back tales of large man-like apes they called rock apes. Soldiers describe the creature as being approximately 6 ft tall and covered with hair except in the knees, the soles of the feet, the hands, and the face. The hair ranges in color from gray to brown to black. Sightings of these Bigfoot-like creatures are reported all over Asian and known by many names — China calls them “Yeren”, and the people of Laos refer to them as the “forest men”. Here’s one story we haven’t heard before about a veteran who had an encounter. BFE Facebook fan, Brian P. writes:
I wanted to share my story on how I became a Bigfoot believer. When I was younger (between 10-12…I’m 38 now) my dad told me his story when he was in the Vietnam war. My dad was a ‘Gunner’ on an Army Chopper (1969-1971). My dad’s story is: they were on an early morning mission in November of 1969 (the war was at a peak and animals in the jungle were retreating from war zones…..according to his account of the time) to recover a platoon, on their was the pilot yelled back to my dad and said: “Did you see that huge ape on the top of that tree?!”…..my dad said he didn’t see it at first and the pilot circled back, and sure enough (according to my dad’s account) there was an 8-12 foot Ape with an orangish fur, and he described a grayish face , hugging the top of a tree on top of the jungle’s canopy. My dad said the pilot hovered the chopper over “It” and my dad said the pilot ordered my dad to shoot it, and my dad said he refused and said to the pilot: “he’s not the enemy, he’s scared of us, we invaded his habitat, let’s leave “It” alone…I’m NOT going to kill it!”…..the pilot eventually complied with my dad’s order to hold fire. My dad said he had a moment in his eyes, and could tell he was in such fear, and thought to himself, that the war going on in his habitat probably scared him into the trees, and he isn’t use to seeing helicopters hovering over top of him, so my dad felt sorry for him and he said I’m not a killer, it was like his eyes were telling me not to hurt him, so I didn’t. When we talk about the North American Sasquatch, my dad said they are very similar and he has no doubt they exist. My dad tells the story with conviction, and my dad is not one to make up a story. Ever since, I’ve believed my dad, and believe Bigfoots are real.
