Retired Army veteran Todd Neiss claims that during a training exercise in the 1990s in Oregon, he and other soldiers allegedly encountered three giant, 9-foot-tall Bigfoot creatures. Neiss, who served in the U.S. Army, described the experience as life-changing, stating that the creatures were unlike anything he had ever seen.
According to Neiss, the encounter occurred near the Umpqua National Forest in Oregon, a region known for reported Bigfoot sightings. He said the creatures were approximately 9 feet tall and moved with a speed and agility that seemed impossible for their size. Neiss emphasized that he and his fellow soldiers were trained observers and that the sighting was not a hallucination or misidentification.
Neiss has since become a public figure in the Bigfoot research community, sharing his story at conferences and in interviews. However, no independent verification of his claims has been found, and the U.S. Army has not commented on the alleged incident. Skeptics suggest that the sighting could be attributed to bears or other wildlife, but Neiss maintains that the creatures were distinctly humanoid.
The story has gained attention on social media and paranormal forums, but it remains unsubstantiated by scientific evidence. As of May 2026, no credible proof of Bigfoot's existence has been established.
