Location: 
Vietnam

A group of well-armed soldiers went out to search and destroy, walked along the river Bank through a heavily wooded area, and reached a clearing, when they began to disperse, their leader sensed something strange in the area. There was a strange, eerie silence everywhere, with no sounds of ordinary animals at all. 

The scout went ahead and reported that he found no tracks nearby. The silence continued. Strange fecal deposits were found, then sounds were heard from a nearby brush, then several huge figures appeared in front of the soldiers.

The figures were almost eight feet tall and bright yellow in color, and as they came closer, the creatures could be seen to have large three-digit hands with what looked like long claws. They had big eyes, slits in their noses, and flat faces. The figures passed the men, apparently not noticing them. 

The men then decided to turn back as they entered the bushes, they started to hear loud rumbles and realized that the creatures were running after them. All the men ran to the river where their boat was, and the creatures were hot on their trail. Several times, people shot at the creatures with large-caliber weapons without visible effect. 

At one point, one of the men fired several armor-piercing shots into one of the creature's chest areas, but this also had no apparent effect. 

The men finally reached their boat and left the place, before leaving, they saw a strong glow on the riverbank, as if dozens of creatures had gathered to watch them leave.

There was a strange eerie silence all around with the normal animals sounds totally absent. A scout went ahead and reported finding no tracks of any kind around. The silence continued. Strange fecal deposits were located, then sounds from the nearby brush were heard, several huge figures then came into view just ahead of the soldiers. The figures were almost eight-foot tall and bright yellow in color, as they came closer, large three digit hands with what appeared to be long claws could bee seen on the creatures. They had large eyes, nose slits and flat faces. The figures passed near the men apparently without noticing them. The men then decide to turn back, as they walked into the bushes they began hearing loud crashing noises and realized that the creatures were running behind them. The men all ran towards the river where their boat was located with the creatures in hot pursuit. Several times the men fired their high caliber weapons at the creatures without any apparent effect. At one point one of the men fired several armor piercing rounds at one of the creature’s chest area, this also without any apparent effect. The men finally reached their boat and left the area, before leaving they saw a strong powerful glow on the riverbank as if dozens of the creatures had gathered to watch them leave.
