Received my copy of Preston Dennett's UFOs Over California yesterday, and discovered this:
"The many popular Native American legends of wise visitors from the sky could be the legacy of early California encounters. One of the first UFO-Bigfoot accounts occurred in 1888, and comes from the journal of a cattleman who had wintered with a tribe of Native Americans in northern California. During his stay, he saw a member of the tribe carrying a platter of raw meat into the forest. He followed the Indian to a nearby cave. Upon entering, he was amazed to see the Indian feeding the meat to a large, hairy man-like creature. The creature was totally covered with thick hair, except for its palms. Also, the creature had no neck, but ws much larger than a man. The Indian tribe called him "Crazy Bear" and explained that he had come to the earth in a "small moon" which carried two other similar creatures. Inside the "small moon" were several other entities who were human-looking, only very short and they wore shiny, silver clothes. After disgorging the three creatures, the object too off into space. The Indians told the cattleman that similar incidents had happened throughout the years, but only rarely." (Preston Dennett, UFOs Over California, Schiffer 2005, p10.)
Well, I wasn't expecting to read that!

This was originally in Brad Steiger's "Mysteries of Time and Space."
Steiger, along with Gutilla, is one of those guys who in my book has one foot in persona non grata.
The other foot, well, hmm.
Thank you for the comments spoon nose.
Is it Gutilla's ideas and experiences concerning Bigfoot that you don't agree with? I'm curious.
Certainly plausible:: I think it's curious that various old cultures make references to such 'unearthly' phenomena.
Exciting.
