Why this record matters

This record combines a linked media source with exact source locators, making it easier to audit the witness account against the original material.

What is documented

BFRO Report 82527 contains a firsthand account explicitly credited to Terra Filmer-Larson and separately attributed follow-up notes from investigator Matthew Moneymaker. The witness reports only seconds of observation in low light.

Evidence boundary

The record documents Terra's account and BFRO's follow-up, not objective verification of a Sasquatch. Her mother was on the telephone but did not see the figure; the investigator's habitat/species interpretations and unrelated expedition reports are not independent corroboration of this event.
