Bigfoot Captured on Video South of Pocatello, Idaho

An online video of an alleged Bigfoot sighting in Southeast Idaho has been creating quite a stir over the past few days. The 2-minute, 24-second video, entitled “Possible bigfoot in Idaho!! Flying the drone around and ran across this,” was posted on YouTube on June 2, 2021.

The duration of the video consists of drone footage over a clearing near the Hawkins Reservoir west of Downey in Southeast Idaho. The reservoir is located approximately 35 miles south of Pocatello.

A mysterious hairy figure, seemingly running on two legs, becomes visible at approximately the 25-second mark. It then runs across a field and into a wooded area as the drone flies over the area. The videographer, who wishes to remain anonymous due to fears of public ridicule, said he initially thought the figure he captured was just an ordinary animal. However, he noticed the figure seemed to be running upright, which grabbed his attention.

“I said, wait a minute, that’s not right,’” he said. A still shot from the footage, which was provided by the videographer, indicates the figure is hairy and light brown in color. It appears to look back at the camera at one point. The brief video can be seen at idahostatejournal.com. (Idaho State Journal, 6 June 2021)
