I agree the voice recordings are creepy and alittle scary they are such piercing screams yells. That maybe can prove these hominids are real.

A few years back I asked a friend, who was a Recon Marine in Vietnam, about sasquatch like animals being seen during the war. He said he hadn’t seen any. He told me that there were, what they called, rock apes that would sometimes throw rocks at them. He said they were about four or five feet tall. He did say that such an animal could exist and stay hidden in Vietnam.

I don’t know about the alleged errors in military terminology. As far as the creatures direction goes, it doesn’t sound like it was running toward the battle, it just happened to be caught in it. And for a large primate species one could understand it attacking one of the enemy soldiers. (Assuming the whole story is not BS.)

As far as whether it would keep a whole firebase from sleeping, I could believe that as well. Some of the alleged North American vocalization recordings are pretty creepy and unnerving.

So I’m not saying that the story is authentic, just that I don’t think what I addressed above is too damaging to its credibility.

Hopefully a Vietnam veteran can comment on whether the terminology used indicates that the writer really didn’t know what they were talking about.

While this story may or may not be B.S., there have been reports of a “wild man” or hairy man thing running around in the Vietnamese area over the years.

This is just one more tale, and perhaps the Vietnamese would have more to say on the subject.

GREAT STORY, could be a real possibility that the minnesota ice man was killed during the vietman conflict. That sure is a big apelike creature some what neanderthal like. If they could prove this thing is real what a find it would be.

Even if this story is not real I am 100% certain that known and probably unkown animals have been killed during fighting. They always say war is hell even for the critters who have nothing to do with the war itself.

Were there areas of vietnam that wasn’t involved in major fighting, besides any demilitarized zones? Animals are very smart, even the dumb deer around northern california disappear around the beginning of deer season. Most around where I hunt usually head into town, where it is illegal to shoot. I’ve seen some resting on the front lawn of the city courthouse. My point is that it doesn’t seem “logical” for a smart animal to be where constant fighting is. I will admit that the jungles down that area do (did) have interesting things to be found. I know that vietnam use to (before agent orange) have the world’s largest bamboo, some bigger around than a common sized man could get his arms around. There is no reason to doubt an “intelligent” ape that has the ability to walk upright.

I wanted to clarify about the illustration used in this post. The story and the illustration are unrelated.

I found the image by doing a google image search for Nguoi Rung.

So sorry, but this one is just a little too farfetched. As Mr. Spencer pointed out, all the military “mistakes” makes this story hard to believe and makes the credibility of the storyteller iffy. And the artist depiction of a “massive build” is way off in my opinion.
