# Remote Airstrip Encounter: A Bigfoot Walks Into The Hangar After Winter Closure
A first-hand account posted to YouTube by the channel Watchtower Files describes one of the more unusual Bigfoot encounters I've come across in a while, and the setting alone makes it worth paying attention to. This isn't a forest trail cam or a blurry nighttime recording. This is a methodical, almost forensic recollection from someone whose job was inspecting a remote state airfield, and who ended up locked inside a workshop with a Bigfoot standing in the hangar doorway.
The narrator worked remote state airfields for nine years. His role was pavement, lights, markings, gates, drainage, and wildlife conditions. On the final day before winter shutdown at Whispering Pine State Airstrip, he was the only authorized person left on the property. The day crew had already placed closure markings, the maintenance worker had driven out through the west service gate, and the seasonal closure was active. One privately-owned Cessna 172 sat chocked in the north half of the hangar. The master switch was off, the ignition key was absent, the wheels were chocked, and the airframe was secured. The hangar doors had been stopped in their tracks, stacked to either side of an opening wide enough for the state truck to pass through.
Then, less than two hours after closure, a Bigfoot walked into the hangar.
## What The Witness Describes
According to the account, the first foot came down just inside the threshold at 6:27 that evening. The threshold required no maneuvering around machinery. The steel door leaves stood exactly where they had been left. Wet snow crossed the apron lights behind the figure. For a moment, the backlight flattened the Bigfoot into a black outline. Then it moved farther onto the concrete and the outline acquired depth.
Water ran from the hair on its forearms. One hand passed beside the knee as it walked upright into the building. The Cessna sat in the north half of the hangar, nose angled slightly away from the witness. He knew the height of its wing because he had walked beneath it many times. The Bigfoot approached that wing without hurrying. When it came beside the landing gear, the top of the cabin no longer seemed high. It lowered its head and shoulders under the wing. One hand passed near the tire. The other rose toward the white painted strut.
The airplane stayed dark and still. The Bigfoot placed one broad hand on the wing strut. Its fingers closed without shaking the airplane. It remained there for several seconds, head lowered beneath the wing while wet snow swept through the opening behind it. Then the hand released. The head came up, the shoulders turned away from the Cessna, and the face shifted toward the southeast wall of the hangar, toward the wire glass window.
## The Earlier Detail That Matters
What makes this account stand out is the methodical way the witness describes the timeline. At 4:35 that afternoon, almost two hours before the Bigfoot entered the hangar, conditions were exactly as they should have been on closing day. Cold drizzle, 36 degrees, wet road, old snow held in the shaded ditches beneath fir and hemlock. The forecast called for wet snow after dark and a slow drop toward freezing.
Then, at 5:07, one of the far lights near the southeast end of the runway disappeared. It was gone for less than two seconds. The reflection beneath it remained bright on the wet pavement. Then the direct point returned above that reflection unchanged. The witness stopped the truck and watched the line. Every light remained in the state he had commanded. The one he had lost was visible again with the same brightness as the fixtures beside it. Its reflection still reached toward him across the pavement.
He changed his viewing angle. The fixture moved against the windshield frame while its reflection changed length below it. Both stayed visible. A smear on the glass would have moved with him. A weak lamp would have affected the reflected point, too. Whatever had interrupted the direct view had occupied open space beside the runway. A branch could move through the sightline. An animal could cross the edge. A person could be standing close enough to block a fixture without showing against the timber. At that distance, all three explanations were better than treating a two-second obstruction as something extraordinary.
He continued the inspection.
## Why This Account Is Worth Watching
There are a few things that make this worth sitting with. First, the witness is clearly trained to observe and document. He's not a casual hiker or a camper with a flashlight. He's someone whose job involves checking pavement, lights, drainage, and wildlife conditions, and who knows what a normal airfield looks like at the end of a day. Second, the timeline is precise. The hangar door was stopped 16 minutes before the Bigfoot entered. The light anomaly happened at 5:07. The first foot came down at 6:27. Third, the description of the Bigfoot itself is consistent with what witnesses have reported for decades, a tall, broad-shouldered, bipedal figure covered in dark hair, moving with deliberate, unhurried purpose.
Bigfoot researchers have long noted that these beings are often described as curious about human structures and equipment. Reports of Bigfoot investigating cabins, vehicles, fences, and farm equipment are common in the literature. What's unusual here is the setting, a remote state airstrip in winter, with a secured aircraft inside a hangar, and a witness who had no route out except past the figure. The detail about the Bigfoot placing one broad hand on the wing strut without shaking the airplane is the kind of specific, physical observation that tends to come from someone who is actually watching the event unfold rather than reconstructing it later.
The account also raises questions that the witness himself seems to acknowledge. What was the Bigfoot doing there? Was it investigating the closed airfield the same way it might investigate any human structure in its territory? Was the light anomaly at 5:07 connected to the same individual, passing through the sightline more than an hour before the hangar encounter? And what happened after the face shifted toward the southeast wall and the wire glass window?
The video is worth watching in full. The pacing is slow and methodical, almost like a field report, and the witness takes the time to walk through the timeline, the inspection pattern, and the conditions on the ground before the encounter. It's the kind of account that rewards patience, and it adds another data point to the long history of Bigfoot sightings in remote, forested areas of the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
If you've had a similar experience near a remote airfield, a backcountry hangar, or any piece of human infrastructure in Bigfoot country, the comments on the video are open. And if you're new to this kind of report, this is a good one to start with. The witness doesn't sensationalize anything. He just describes what he saw, in the order he saw it, with the kind of detail that only comes from someone who was actually there.
