R. B. noticed that for the next 15 minutes a &#8220;shadow&#8221; would approach to  within twenty-five yards of the team, but just  when they expected to  catch sight of their unidentified pursuer, it would break off. In an effort to elude whatever was trailing them, Sgt. R.B., another   sergeant, and a private halted while the other two men continued. Five   minutes later the other soldiers followed, but the mystery creature was  not  fooled. Sgt. R. B. wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe could hear something  or someone following us&#8230; (it would) go around us, fade off, and then  we would hear it coming again&#8230; (it) started weaving in and out of the two groups like a  figure-8&#8230; it came between the 2 groups, around them, toward us,  like it knew exactly where we were even though we couldn\u2019t see it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>When the reunited team was 400 meters from the opposing unit, they established  a patrol base. Sgt. R.B. and another sergeant would reconnoiter their  objective, then return in two hours, when a second pair would start out. After  covering 200 meters the men heard their nemesis again. They  crossed an  open area, then fell to the ground watching their rear.  After five  minutes they heard a \u201cscream roar.\u201d Sgt. R.B. recorded:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis is when it got really weird&#8230; a minute later it screamed again and then we heard  what sounded like a huge rotten tree falling, and brush breaking.

The creature ignored the approaching  tank, keeping its head and torso looking straight ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Barry, who had trained with night vision equipment, estimated the creature&#8217;s  height to be 8-feet tall.
