Do you believe in Bigfoot? It’s one of those topics that is always sure to start a fun discussion. Some people are diehard believers, especially if they claim to have seen something at one point.

A retired U.S. Army sergeant named Todd Niess recently appeared on FOX News and claimed that back in 1993, he had a Bigfoot sighting that changed his life.

According to Neiss, he was conducting a military exercise in Oregon when he and some other soldiers saw three Bigfoot creatures.

Say what you will about his claims but he seems very much in earnest. He clearly believes it.

A retired U.S. Army sergeant is recalling his face-to-face encounter with alleged nine-foot-tall creatures during a military exercise, warning that the massive beings are lurking in the American heartland as new sightings emerge in Ohio.

Todd Neiss, a longtime skeptic who used to dismiss Bigfoot as an urban legend, is now the head of the American Primate Conservancy. He joined “Fox & Friends First” to discuss the encounter that shattered his skepticism and changed the course of his life.

“All that changed for me in 1993 while conducting a military exercise in the Oregon Coast Range,” Neiss said Tuesday. “Those 25 seconds changed the entire course of my life.”

He explained that he and three other soldiers were conducting an exercise involving high explosives when they came upon three of the alleged creatures, which he said were observing their movements.

“Their silhouette was completely disproportionate in terms of the arm length and even the length of the legs as it pertains to a human torso,” Neiss said.

“The ones I saw range between seven to nine feet in height. They do tend to have a more human-like face, but obviously just hair-covered, very large, very athletic,” he added.
