    Steve how to hunt channel on youtube talks about sasquatch and other weird creatures, so who knows?
    Only equipment I could think of is if they were heli logging somewhere? But not sure if they do that that close to roads instead of just making a road

    I can't imagine heli logging making that kind of sound.
    When I worked at Canadian Helicopters most of the choppers used were the Sikorsky S61, we had to repair them many times and I know what they sound.
    Dragging a chain, or rope across rocks or logs don't make that kind of noise.

    Noise was confirmed, it was a grader scraping the blade in a parking lot. Dense cloud cover and mountains assisted in making the noise.

    I was going to guess a drunk neighbor running his Theremin through a stadium sized amp… But having scraped asphalt with a big excavator with a clean up bucket on, I can agree 100% with the grader comment. Hardened steel being dragged across pavement can make some crazy noises. But 30 km from paved roads? Not sure what to think there. Maybe someone cleaning rock off for blasting drill?

    Definately a metallic sound , this sounds plausible . The video clearly shows asphalt so the 30 km from pavement statement would be false .

    Bentwrench said that the video depicts the SAME sound, not that it was his video. He clearly states that they heard the noise in region 2-8 (Vancouver to Squamish and over to Harrison/Stave area) in November of 2019 or 2020. The video clearly shows it was filmed in Terrace in August of 2013, so there is no point in saying there is pavement in the video.

    Given the area covered by 2-8, there is a crap ton of logging going on. I’m still betting it was an excavator scraping rock for blasting. Those machines have lights, and if a road building contract was behind schedule, an operator could easily be burning the midnight oil. That type of noise would travel a lot farther than the engine noise or lights of a hoe.

    I keep taking pix of weird shit I find to put up on this post - but then I forget to post them. Besides, posting pix on here sucks for me.

    I found a tampon last year - up on a ridge....

    This year I found a needle for a syringe. Huge gauge - still in the protective plastic sleeve. This one was near the road but still in the woods.
