| An intriguing account comes from an 1888 meeting between cattle ranchers and a group of Native Americans in northern California. The natives described three “crazy bears” that descended from the sky in a “small moon,” leaving them in the woods before taking off. |

established and changes its name." - Charles Fort
| In another instance, in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1973, a woman named Reafa Heitfield and her daughter were awakened in the middle of the night to a beam of light extending down from a bulbous umbrella shape in the sky. Tracking the light to where it landed in the nearby woods, the two noticed a grayish, simian creature wandering toward the beam. Before they knew it, both the ape and the craft disappeared. |
