A Soldier’s Terrifying Encounter With a Gugwe in the Alaskan Wilderness | (The Men in Black)

from SASQUATCH THEORY · host SASQUATCH THEORY

In this episode, I sit down once again with Mike from Florida, a returning guest who previously appeared on the channel. Mike is an active-duty military servicemember, and this time he shares a never-before-told encounter that occurred during wilderness and ambush training in Alaska in 2024. While conducting field exercises, Mike’s unit received an urgent radio call regarding an unknown animal or entity causing serious disturbances near a remote village. The squad was ordered to investigate. Upon arriving and speaking with local elders, they were warned that what they were dealing with was not a normal animal. The First Nations people identified the entity as Sasquatch, describing recent attacks, missing dogs, and a terrifying incident in which a creature allegedly grabbed a person, only to drop them after being witnessed. One elder described a chilling encounter where the creature peered through a window while growling, then smashed the glass and fled into the forest. At the time, Mike’s unit was poorly equipped—carrying blanks and knives, not expecting a real engagement. That changed quickly when the forest went unnaturally silent, signaling the presence of a large predator. Soon after, movement was detected. Trees were shaking. Growls echoed through the woods. Mike then came face to face with a massive creature—approximately 8 feet tall, with huge canine teeth and a baboon-like face. Based on what he saw, Mike identified the entity as a Gugwe, a highly aggressive and dangerous cryptid known in Indigenous lore. A tribal elder later confirmed that this was the same creature the village had been seeing. After the creature triggered a booby trap, Mike’s unit engaged multiple times. During the encounter, the creature threw a log, striking Mike and knocking him to the ground. As the confrontation escalated, another growl was heard—suggesting possible communication with another Sasquatch. The creature was seen again at roughly 100 yards, and after further engagement, it appeared disoriented and eventually went down. What happened next raises even more questions. Mike reports that black helicopters, scientists, and men in black arrived shortly after. The village was separated, interrogated, and forced to sign non-disclosure agreements. The military took possession of the creature, which Mike described as having an extremely foul odor. This is one of the most intense military cryptid encounters ever shared on the channel—one that blurs the line between folklore, classified operations, and something far more real.

The issues being decided in the halls of government every day have real and lasting impact on all our lives, but discussing politics is extremely unpleasant. It is very difficult today to have a calm, adult conversation about politics. Are the people screaming on TV, the radio, and online really who “we” are? Are they really representative of mainstream America or are they just really aggressive and loud? I believe the adults just got tired of it and walked away, but their silence is not consent. This podcast is the test of that theory. If you see fit to tune in, I will present news of the day, analysis and commentary while doing my best to check my feelings at the door and let you, the listeners, decide what it means to you. No ominous music, no angry rants, just a relaxed conversation and positive vibe. Politics, for reasonable people.
