I had written in Dec, I think. Well anyway, you asked for more information. I was in the eagle river valley area, this is a large area so I'll keep it in a general area. It was Oct timeframe to my knowledge, it was about 6:00 am I was moving back to my car it was about 3 miles away. I was moving down a finger from the high ground into the valley. I stopped to do a quick map check to make sure I was in the right direction. As I gathered up my stuff when a rock was thrown at me from behind, I looked back to see what was going on, and I saw 3 Sabe about 100 meters away. The biggest was a female brown with grey highlights about 8 feet tall and about 600 pounds, she had breasts easy to see. The other was a brown I think male about 6 foot tall and 450 pounds and the smallest was a brown 5 1/2 foot tall brown about 300 pounds. They were moving towards me and pushed me into the valley fast, and I moved into the river about knee-deep. One at a time they would move into the valley about 100 meters away yelling and throwing rocks. I believe they were siblings as I don't think a mother would have her offspring partake in the chaos. About every 500 meters one would appear to my right yelling and throwing rocks. This went on for about 2 miles when they broke contact with me. I only had a 9mm with me and knew it would not do shit against them. I did point it at them a number of times but they kept to their plan, Pushing me out of the valley, I stayed in the water as much as I could. The water was pretty cold but I stayed in as long as I could, to give me a small barrier away, and felt safest to me. The faces were human-like and the eyes were totally black no whites showing. Arms hung down to knee level for the most part, and they swiftly again stuck to their plan to scare me out of the area and it worked as I was scared shitless. I saw some of the most gruesome shit in Iraq sometimes scarring me pretty badly, but nothing in Iraq would prepare me for this scenario, as I was not expecting something out of tales to confront me. I was not a believer until this happened, sure as shit they are real. The screams were rattling my chest cavity as It was about 2 feet away, real loud. The rocks were thrown in my general vicinity they were not trying to hit me, as they could if they wanted again this went on for about 2 miles, and then they moved back to where the contact began. I would not go back to the scene, without highly skilled individual tactics and shooting. Again  I have done 4 tours in Iraq and trained in Reconnaissance, intelligence, and target acquisition. Human tracking, and personal recovery just to name a few. Conducted 100s of high-risk missions with highly trained mates, but nothing would prepare me for this. Sabe is real and they could have done whatever they wanted to me at their will but stuck to harassing behavior. Steve, I hope this answers some questions for the round table. I tried to detail this encounter as much as I could. This encounter scared me shitless as I was a toy for their enjoyment. Sorry about any misspellings or punctuation, but writing this brought me back to a dark place.
