Delta Force Veteran Breaks Silence on Secret Bigfoot Kill Mission

So I just came across this wild video on YouTube that I had to share immediately. A channel called Hollow Orbit posted something that's been making the rounds, and honestly, it's one of the most jaw-dropping Bigfoot stories I've heard in a while. The whole thing is told from the perspective of a man named John Carter, who claims to be a former Delta Force operator with 12 years in special operations across 17 countries. Yeah, you read that right.
According to his account, in September 2018, he and his eight-man team were pulled from downtime at Fort Bragg and briefed on something called Operation Silverback. The mission? A black op in British Columbia to hunt down a family group of Sasquatch that had allegedly attacked a logging camp, injured 12 workers, and caused around $2 million in damage. Three workers ended up hospitalized with severe trauma, and the destruction looked deliberate, like something had methodically torn the place apart.
Here's where it gets really interesting. Before the Americans were called in, Canada's elite JTF2 sent a five-operator squad to investigate. Only three came back. The other two are listed as missing to this day. And all three survivors resigned within a month, with one ending up in psychiatric treatment. They all signed NDAs and took medical discharges. That alone tells you something serious went down.
The briefing details Carter describes are chilling. Thermal satellite imagery supposedly identified a family group of six to eight individuals using a cave system about 40 miles northeast of the logging camp. The creatures were estimated to be 600 to 800 pounds, capable of moving silently through forest, using tools, communicating, and hunting cooperatively. The medical photos he mentions show a man's arm with massive contusions and handprints so large they fractured the bone. Imagine what those beings could do if they actually wanted to kill someone.
What really stood out to me was the cultural context. The Canadian liaison officer, a Major Ashley Vogel, told the team that the area was traditional territory of the Quacwaka Waku First Nations. The locals call these beings Brookwus, the wild men of the woods, and consider them sacred. According to their legends, these beings have lived in the forest since time began. The elders refused to help the military, saying humans and the wild men had an understanding, stay out of the deep forest, and they stay away from settlements. The logging operation apparently broke that agreement.
This connects to something researchers have been saying for years. Indigenous peoples across North America have thousands of accounts describing these beings as intelligent, spiritual entities, not just animals. The fact that this story emphasizes their intelligence, their use of tools, their cooperative hunting, and their communication aligns perfectly with what many longtime researchers have been documenting. These aren't mindless creatures. They're something else entirely.
The video title hints at something even bigger happening during the operation, that Bigfoot spoke English. I won't spoil it, but if that part of the story is true, it changes everything about how we understand these beings. An intelligent species that can communicate with humans, that has its own territorial agreements with Indigenous peoples, that the military has known about since the 1960s according to this account, that's a paradigm shift waiting to happen.
The discussion I saw cuts off right as Carter is explaining what the First Nations elders told them about the Brookwus, so there's clearly more to the story. You'll want to watch the full video to get the rest of what happened during Operation Silverback. It's long, but honestly, it's the kind of story you can't stop listening to once it gets going.
If you've ever wondered whether the government has been hiding information about Sasquatch encounters, or whether special operations units have ever been deployed against them, this video is going to raise a lot of questions. And given that the man claims he's breaking his NDA by sharing this, with potential prison time and loss of benefits, you have to wonder why someone would risk all of that to tell this story.
Check it out and let me know what you think. Stories like this are exactly why I love digging through YouTube, you never know what you're going to find.
