In our episode, ‘Enemy Unknown’, we examined a series of alleged encounters between US Servicemen and what appeared to be extra-terrestrial craft during the Vietnam War. There are, however, an equally significant number of documented incidents, during which American soldiers reported having confronted mysterious cryptids whilst engaged in the same conflict.

Lol Idk why but I just imagine the two lizard dudes where just chilling and having a conversation before getting lit up just for noticing the G.I.s
It was the Clintons on their honeymoon :)

Seeing big ass cryptids that may or may not be harmless:

Typical military response, don't know what it is so blow it all to hell!
I had a Vietnam veteran as a substitute teacher at my high school before graduating, he was always willing to talk & tell us stories about Vietnam. One story was about him & his group encountered a large snake (2-3ft wide) simply the snake crossing beneath their feet as they went unnoticed in the jungle. He said they didn’t know where the head was or where it ended, only they did not want to disturb the creature.
@@The_ZeroLinethere was this ancient account about Gog and Magog. Apparently these lizard men is part of those 22 unclean nations locked up by Alexander the Great when he conquered the East. It goes by saying that God made snakes grow unnaturally large so that these monster nations may hunt and eat it rather than preying upon humans.
To be fair. The worlds longest snake lives there(Reticulated Python).
@@RavenLakeStudios1 but is it that thick aka wide?
My Dad told me they had to hunt a python that was so large it ate a small boy. They killed it and cut the child out so the family could bury their kid.
Lies
This needs more than two episodes, more like three or four. So much weird stuff from the Vietnam War that I've never heard about.
Agree.
Snakes..Ants...Mosquitos...Pungee Pits...Trap Door Tunnels
@Rex Caesar there’s gotta be a reason why a professional photographer wouldn’t publish his pics... oh, that’s right, the story was fake as fuck and the photographer was a fraud and con artist 🤦🏼♂️
There are also stories of giant spiders the size of Volkswagen Beetles in the Vietnam jungle. Similar to the ones in Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit. When someone asked J.R.R. Tolkien why he liked to write fictional/fantasy books, he replied "I don't write about fiction, I write about an ancient reality in which the knowledge has been lost over time".....(lost knowledge as in covered up knowledge). If we knew the truth, the tribe of sub human imposters over our sold out governments would no longer be able to control and manipulate us to do their bidding.
@@markus7166 There is a reason....it's called CENSORSHIP. You need to find out how the media and world actually operates. There is a concerted effort by the 1% to keep us from knowing the truth. The mainstream media is their mind control device.
The detail to the playing cards. Thats a amazing touch.
Oh, shoot. And the guy seems to be smirking while pulling that one out of his hand.
Attention to detail is awesome and keeps getting better!
I was wondering if anyone else noticed that too.
@@themightytrainthurnax6613 haha same here
"There's something out there waiting for us, and it ain't no man"
*ham*
Yes. A flying woman :D
'And it aint no *ham*''.
Cool quote.
"And it ain't no ham ma'am."@@Raccon_Detective.
The soldiers opening fire to repitillians of the last story reminds me of the scene of Predator when they spray bullets at the jungle like crazy.
If it bleeds, we can kill it.
Bear in mind what strangeness occured in this video.
I've been wondering if the movie predator was based on an actual real life incident..?
The "origins" of the story has to come from somewhere...?
@@stuartd9741 I've wondered that myself.
The second Predator movie gave some clues- Gary Busey's character explaining that they are drawn to human conflicts, such as Iwo Jima, and other great battles.
If a semblance of truth is being conveyed to us through movies, especially horror or science fiction movies, then maybe it was based on a real life incident.
It's common knowledge now, that the CIA and Department of Defense , and who knows what other secret section of government, have had liaisons with Hollywood since the 1950's.
@@truthseeker2321 indeed.
If one watches Star Trek. What's the first thing they do when they discover civilization in a planet?
Take a small shuttle craft to take a look.
Not that hard to surmise an off world entities would do the same.
With interest heightened by human conflict...
..
Definitely Hollywood & government collaboration.
Makes you wonder about ET, close encounters, or perhaps even the moon landings?
@@stuartd9741 👍👍👍 More good points!
Both bedtime stories and wartime stories are the highest quality storytelling UA-cam-channels around. I always sleep that extra bit better with a new story!
Wartime stories is the same people behind this channel?
Wartime stories dude sounds badass !
Yep but dont forget about @woodwardtv
Mr. Ballin is pretty good to (if you haven't already checked him out)
@@dili2878 Woodward's cool I like his content
"Ya know Jimbo, in 2005 a declassified internal NSA study revealed that there was not a single North Vietnamese naval vessel present during the Gulf of Tonkin incident!"
ever heard of Operation Northwoods?
@@strikeone7803 No but will look into it now!
Oh you!
Possible false flag operation, huh? Clever.
Something else would of happened to justify LBJ to send over troops
The giant snake stories remind me of this myth.
If a snake lives long enough, and grows to a particular length, it becomes a "dragon".
Usually it just has more intelligence and cunning, closer to a human than animal. But the size of these ones is more terrifying.
Also that myth I believe is Persian in origin. I have had family kill snakes longer than they should have been with strange features like a crown, similar to rooster's. This was in Nigeria, for those curious
Remember than when a carp jumps over a waterfall it becomes a dragon.
I bet the lizard internet has a lot of good human sighting stories
“My buddy and I went out for a smoke, and the damned hairless apes started shooting at us! Scared me so bad I shat myself!”
“Oh come on, ssslith, hairless apes aren’t real! All of the scientists say so!”
Lmao
Lol!
Eventually, the lizards send out trackers with sniffer raptors to the jungle.
@@Kilthan2050 "When they returned to their base, Sssrk and Rrrsh reported seeing 'Hairless apes' outside their access tunnel, but then a mysterious black scaled Reptilian told then that they should forget seeing any apes in the jungle, if they ever want to see their lifemates and hatchlings again."
Seems to me these soldiers were literally living the X-Files out on the battlefield.
So fiction?
@@SpicyTexan64 No, X-Files was truth disguised as fiction. Occult revelation of the method/predictive programming. They give us truth in the form of fictional entertainment and lies and propaganda in the "news"....
@@SpicyTexan64 Also what they tell us is "Greek Mythology" and "Fairy Tales" is also real and told in a different way in Genesis Chapter 6 and the ancient Book of Enoch. They don't want us to know the truth.
Actually the "Predator" movies were based on stories like these.
@@Sander1678 Kinda scary isn't it?
The second movie with Gary Busey told a lot.
The second story must've been a close encounter with a Naga and the creature are still rumoured to be spotted occasionally in the mekong River once a year. Plus, if you have seen statues of the Naga in Buddhist temples scattered throughout Indochina you'll notice that the description given by the Sgt on the creature almost match what is being depicted up to the tee. Golden crest and gleaming golden scales and a serpentine body. As for the other weird encounters encountered by soldiers during the Vietnam War, I have a feeling that many stories of such encounters will come to light in this decade as many of the veterans will break silence and share their tale knowing that this is their last chance to tell such stories before they passed on.
i always think they're some kind of almost extinct water serpents native to southeast asia. Because of their size and maybe behaviour. Ancient people thought they are supernatural deities so they worshipped them.
@@techo___o Could be. I've heard that a certain species of catfish grow to enormous size in the Mekong Delta, maybe it could have been one of those.
Hey John, love your movies buddy.
@@peterarmstrong6730 lol
Rumour has it it was a MAGA...
I had the rock apes in mind from the moment this episode started. Can’t wait for that episode.
Didn't they already make one?
@@burtknighten1873 I know Mark Felton made one.
Never heard of them. Even more excited for the next episode now.
Rock apes, big ass centipedes, even bigger spiders from stories of the tunnel rats
@@nathanbrooks6915 tunnel rats ? Which storie is that?
On the second story: sounds like a young dragon, in particular the Kiao or Jiao, a river dragon with no horns, square head and carp like scales on a snake body.
Myths or just old true stories.
I'm assuming (hoping) that you don't believe in dragons but I'm nearly positive that they only saw a Reticulated Python- the biggest snake species in existence which lives in Vietnam and has bright gold in it's pattern.
And the first story sounds like two Filipino monsters: Manananggal and Boroka. Now the question is, what was a Manananggal or a Boroka doing in Vietnam?
@@nicholaslienandjaja1815 Should've taken that left turn at Albuquerque.
@@CJM-rg5rt is it brick red, as huge as the men described, and in possession of a dorsal fin? I thought not.
18:53 "if it bleeds, we can kill it" - one of the soldiers, probably
There's the Predator reference!
You guys should do cryptids of Latin America. My mom is from Mexico and she is from central Mexico from the state of Michocan and their a lagoon or lake which ever away you want to call it my mom said she remembers seeing a dog like creature near the lagoon streams that scared her like hell. She stated she never seen anything like that it literally went to water head down but was big but black color she stated it was easily 5 ft or 7 ft long stating that it was very strange and had heard of course nutrias which are like musk rats but stated they don’t grow that big and she stated that the last site of river otters in that area had been in the early 1920s and 30s when my grandmother was a kid , that people hadn’t seen them since than . My mom saw this strange creature in 1969 when she was 13 years old . She still remembers how dark and in color it looked and how it silently went into the stream.
I used to visit Vietnam here and there to visit some family in the country side. As a kid I thought I saw plenty of weirdness during those visits. Now I'll be going as an adult with a much more sound mind. It's been years since I've been there and a tiny part of me isn't looking forward to my next visit. Thanks Bedtime Stories, you got me on this one.
Can you ask around about any of these creatures to see if locals have any extra details?
Don't walk the trail alone
@@Sassafras- I don't see why not. I have plenty of family scattered from province to province.
@@thaimatt999 That flying humanoid creature has me fascinated.
There's similar stories in Native American folklore, or in modern times, like the Mothman in West Virginia.
could you please ask some relatives of yours about that giant snake? I'm curious about that one
I'm not going to lie I was a little confused when I clicked this and it was Bedtime Stories and not Wartime Stories, I love these Cryptid videos
On the second story about the river creature. It's much more likely to be a snake than an oarfish. Oarfish usually die very quickly at low pressure because they are adapted to high pressure deep environments. It's the main reason most of the images you will usually see of them are dead on the surface
I'm yet to see a snake with a dorsal fin
I agree and I've seen some big snakes I mean like big..
in vietnam they have a name for them called 'thuong luong', its a type of sea serpent found in th euntamed mekong delta. they are massive and tend to have frills and fins like that of oarfishes
Sounds more like an eel to me, would explain the fin.
Maybe the creature was a Naga?
My Dad was with the 3'rd Marines .
During the Vietnam War
When he got back home some of his stories were just too weird .
He saw me watch a show on mysterious creatures and happenings .
He told me about the attack of the " Rock Apes " and of seeing a couple of UFO's and the out come of each stories and one really really weird story of a recovered Female Alien .
Can You expand on the weird story of recovered female alien ?
@@paradyyoung6350
He just said that she was recovered from the ship or a ship .
@@johnrettig1880 dang that's weird, thanks.
First creature was the creepiest. Flying, attractive woman like creature. Can you imagine. There's no telling what was over there at that time that may no longer be there today. Having said that, these are wild stories. We'll never know if they're fiction or reality.
There is a similar creature in the Philippines called the Manananggal.
Aswang
Can I just say that it really does warm my heart how you @bedtimestories totally took @wartimestories under your wing and encouraged the sister content. I don't think good people ever get enough recognition. Hella respect for nurturing an admirer and not neutering an homage.
Thank you for saying so; I agree wholeheartedly.
Rich has been nothing but overwhelmingly kind and helpful. He’s too modest to ever admit it.
So excited, saving this for tonight! I like to listen/watch while I lie in bed, before I go to sleep. Spookier in the dark!
Same
Same here. 915pm here in south Texas and I'm already in bed. =)
I like to watch.
I get scared everytime but even better at night inspite the anxiety
Your mom is spookier in the dark.
I like how their first instict as foreign soldiers, whenever they have encountered any cryptids is to use overwhelming firepower to really put them on their knees, even when they havent really done anything other than obviously looking very dangerous and menacing, but I get it though, they may be dangerous
And that sealing in the tunnel with bombs was just a nice closure for it lol
I'm willing to bet that the NVA or Viet Cong would have lit up those upright walking lizards too, had they encountered them.
Who's to say that they haven't?
I wish someone who lives in Vietnam, would talk to those veterans of the NVA and Viet Cong, and find out if they had those encounters also.
yeah they are 18 yo kids. I doubt any officer or sgt would do that.
@@LTPottenger No doubt.
@@truthseeker2321 I remember reading somewhere that they had similar experiences with fighting the rock apes iirc, i am sure being that they lived in the region they saw lots more of them.
Also remember reading that the viet cong tunnels some of them were already there before they dug out the others like a pre existing tunnel network had always been there.
@@ATomRileyA Yeah, some of those tunnels were there from ww2, when the Japanese Army was in Vietnam.
Flying Humanoids during Wartime, I've never heard this one before.
There was the Angels of Mons from World War 1, not sure about any others.
Interesting I have been noticing a pattern here with certain military strikes with these encounters.
OK, what was a Manananggal doing in Vietnam? I thought they're only native to the Philippines.
Phillip hayden- If I had witnessed something like this by myself, it would probably never be heard.
I would like to hear about any Vietnamese people's encounters with these things, during the war.
If there's any truth to these stories, maybe they can be collaborated by the opposing sides, like the Foo Fighters during ww2.

@Beach Bum put * before and after you make a sentence or word
I only fite bumz.
Man, wtf is going on in the world? If 10% of these stories are true, there some wild shit going on.
Exactly it can't all be bs
@@OriginalBongoliath I agree. The episode terror from the sky involved cops, with every reason to lied. Especially military personnel, which risk mental discharge bringing these stories up.
the second story sounds like a "dragon" in some asian myths. some versions are even known to have pulled humans into the water and never to be found again.
Hey, legends have to come from somewhere right?
Most likely some new species of eel or snake who hides very well
@@Snp2024 i never heard of a snake having dorsal fin.
@@RoseNZieg could be some kind of puesdo organ like how fake cobras have or two headed snake with fake head we will not know until we catch one I suppose
Funny thing is, something similar to that was meant to be in Kong: Skull Island before being replaced by the Skullcrawlers.
This is a goodie! I’m a super big cryptid fan and haven’t heard of most of the ones mentioned. Well done! Wartime stories keeps getting better and better. I appreciate the time and effort he brings to the channel.
in the third picture, some people have tried to scale the snake with one of the nearby termite hills. the length proposed was unbelievable.
If these creatures do exist then why do we not find skeletal remains?
@@SamuelBlack84 the tropics are not known to be good preserver of fossils and many known rare creatures are elusive as well so don't expect too much out of getting physical evidence unless you know the holes from where they crawl out of.
Ppl say that abt Bigfoot too, which I'm not sold on, but I do hunt here in Vermont and my reply to that is usually: How often do you find a bear carcass? Or a cougar/lynx skeleton? Or even a moose? You don't. U can spend your whole life in the woods and never find large, intelligent animal remains. So lack of remains does not sell me the lack of existence.
@@sarahoshea9603 Scavengers waste very little time, doing away with a carcass, whether human or animal.
I remember a cow drowned in a flash flood, in a usually dry creek bed, where I live in Indiana, and after three weeks, hardly any bones remained.
The Buzzards and Coyotes, Raccoons and even people's dogs made good use of that carcass.
Same in Ontario. @@sarahoshea9603
Loved this video. Paranormal military stories are my favorite ones.
The jungles of Nam sound like the perfect place for these creatures to hide out in.
That Reptilian story reminded me of Predator 1987 lol.
The thought of Giant snakes like Titanoboa existing would impress and scare me at the same time.
It could've bwen an anaconda. Them and reticulated pythons are big enough to be nightmare fuel.
If that 100 footer is real, it makes Titanoboa look like an earthworm.
They don't have to exist. Many living animals have something called 'indeterminate growth', which means an animal such as a snake or crocodile size is only limited by its habitat and resources (food). So a gigantic living species of python such as Burmese is entirely plausible. In the deepest jungles there are no humans, ergo no predators, there's no telling how big they may have gotten.
Most likely paranoia or fake story no way they can live on surface ever it's just not biologically possible .
While that is true, you have to take into account how they’ll circulate air, the effects of gravity on them ect. Animals can get big, but will still have nothing on King Kong or Godzilla
The animations along with the smooth storytelling is flawless. Long time subscriber here, and this is my first time commenting. I just want to acknowledge you guys for your outstanding work.
Same. Had to show my support for the new guy, he did great. They need to get him some interesting content for the future for sure.
@@Jesters-Jinx Agreed 100 percent
“Photograph was never published” oh wow how convenient
That's how it goes.
There are pictures, but they were never published.
They were published, but they're blurry.
They're sharp, but there's nothing for scale.
There's something for scale, but it's forced perspective.
The photographer probably made it up. The story felt fake.
@@huntrrams Going to go as far as to say that there was no photographer and that this is less than 5 year old creepypasta.
He took a photo. Then while fly over a snake leap d forward the man got spooked and dropped his cam straight into jaws of death ☠️. That's all folx.
As if wandering around a foreign jungle in a kill or be killed situation wasn't bad enough.
Yeah it really explains all the "PTSD" of veterans from that particular contrived war.
Cues ‘fortunate son’
It’s bad enough these service members had to be on alert for the enemy but they also had to be on the alert for cryptids 😬
Very interesting indeed. Also... Who ever drew that snake deserves a pay raise
Pure nightmare fuel
Loved the alien/cryptid playing cards at 04:43 lol
Yay I love the wartime stories me and the narrator have had wonderful conversations. So happy to hear him on the main channel
And the same to you.
I wonder if the two "lizardmen" in the cave might've been vietnamese lepers; exiled to protect a local village from infection and so far into the disease their skin was flaky and scale-like in appearance in poor light.
They were also described as being 7 feet tall, so either that leprosy came with a dose of gigantism, or the low light was really dicking around with em.
@@McSkumm people are notoriously bad at guessing height from a distance.
@@RiotWild I'm no exception to that.
Lizard people are real, stop trying to fight it
@@RiotWild Reptilians & caves. 1 topic that continually pops up all over
As if ambushes, snipers, mortar attacks, children with grenades and punji stakes weren't enough. Throw in two-step vipers and tigers. Now these things? The gigantic snakes rising to meet helicopters seems almost rational. Nice job on the narration Luke. Looking forward to the next episode.
Dont sound like very nice war fighter in their country, been much nicer to use napalm bombs and other air niceties.
As a retired soldier with a couple my own odd experiences I can appreciate hearing those of others and knowing that I'm not crazy.
....or at least that I'm not alone. 😉
I too would like to hear stories of odd encounters
You can't just drop a bomb like that, then disappear. To quote an old friend, "Fo sheezy, my neezy. Don't tease me, just please me!"
The narrator was perfect. Cheers from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
I was going to say, this should be on the wartime stories. Happy he’s narrating.
Gonna have to answer each of these one by one lol...
Although WTS is a “sister channel” me and Rich don’t do really any coordination on stories 🤷🏼♂️ and I certainly don’t have dibs on all war stories.
I’m actually planning my own episode to expand on at least one of these cryptid stories myself. 😁
@@WartimeStories Please do! I still think about that Kitsune story, love your stuff.
The opening soundtrack for Bedtime Stories, with the intense piano 🎹 is perhaps the best on UA-cam. It truly sets the episode on the right track from the beginning. Then the narration, with the voice and the pace, the script itself and not to forget the artwork, complete the interesting and captivating medley of thrill and suspense. By far, one of the best channels on UA-cam. 👻👽
I find these kinds of stories to be very intriguing. When I was younger I read, "Star-Spangled War Stories." That short-lived series of comic books, set during The Second World War, featured stories of American military forces fighting not only human enemies, but also monstrous prehistoric foes. Keep up the great work!
When you're on recon and the trees start speaking Sleestak.
What if theoretically monsters do exists but the Governments is just too Good on covering them up?
But, what did they evolve from?
@@SamuelBlack84 i always wonder with humanoid reptilians. Maybe they evolved from somekind of dinosaur or reptile in the same path with human. Or maybe they're entirely extraterrestrial so that's mean they are not technically reptile at all, just similar (even different in biochemistry, their blood is foul or sulphur-like smelling and not red in color. That can't be earth reptile or dinosaur).
@@techo___o Regardless, I want to know if they exist or not. I'm sick and tired of being kept in the dark
Maybe you should stop reading Lorgar's writings too much.
@@SamuelBlack84 About the existence of reptilians. At first I was 50/50 but after i heard some stories from a very old, tough hunter, i changed my mind to 80/20.
I am Thai, he is Thai. In Thailand or Southeast Asia in general don't have any idea about the reptilians (or at least, very unpopular and not widely known) unlike USA. So stories about "lizard people" from a thai, especially from person like him who didn't connected to western things before was really, really unexpected.
The story happened about 50 years ago. He, his father, who was a veteran hunter and wizard (the hunters in the old time need some magic skills for protection) and his hunter fellows was exploring a zone of a deep, mountainy jungle in northeastern part of Thailand and had to walk across the hills to go to the nearest small villages to meet a wizard to find a way to kill a strong shape shifting tiger demon that was very dangerous to his village(a type of thai ghosts. It can turn into human to lure people then changes to tiger form and eats its prey). On their way, at night, they had to rest on the big tree and one of them need to stay awake for a time and then change person. All of this was to observed and protected themselves. The third night. One of the hunter woke him up. It was his turn to watch over. About half an hour passed by, it was normal like nights before. But then everything turned dead silence. In Thailand this is a bad sign. He felt terror but still didn't woke others. He kept his eyes on the faint bonfire below to relieve the feeling but then the bonfire extinguished. The half moon was the only light source. Almost an hour later, he saw and heard something moving far away in the dark. It was big and fast so he silently woke all the hunters, in case it is that tiger. But then they know it wasn't. As what they can saw from the thick and dark distance. It was walking on two like human but the posture was off. As it came closer and clearer. The hunters was shocked after they shone the flash lights. He described it as crocodile-y but scaly. It was big and muscular, had tail, dark, rough and its eyes reflected red. Its head looked like snake/crocodile but not that long. It stopped when the light hit it. It looked at them, they looked at it. It showed its snake tongue like it was smelling. In just seconds of their terror it walked backward then turned back into the trees. The hunters didn't shoot it. Just shocked and confused. They believed it was a ghost-demon because the bad feeling they felt was overwhelming.
He never saw this type of creature again by himself. The wizard and the villagers believed it lived in a cave on that hill because they(villagers) only encountered it at that zone. That cave was also very scary and it always dead silence there. No birds, no insects, no animals.
The story about the lizardmen is a very & most interesting story!
Where can I find the story of the encounter of Lizardmen in Vietnam?
Damn shame most of the M16s are missing their front sight post. Come on, guys.
0:30 not to nitpick but the M16 the first soldier is carrying is missing its carry handle, and I have no idea why it looks like someone crossed an M1 carbine with the M16A1
Drug use was endemic among troops in Vietnam.
that may be true but i know of at least one credible source for the rock apes my father was a vietnam veteran who served in the airforce as military police and held a top secret clearance that was required to be close to nuclear weapons as he provided security at an airbase in michigan guarding nuclear armed b52 bombers before volunteering to go to vietnam to hold a top secret security clearance he was regularly subjected to drug tests and psychological screenings he maintained his security clearance during his tour in vietnam and through a posting in west germany i remember a story he told me when i was a teen about having to go off the airbase he was at in vietnam to check for bodies after a firefight the night prior and encountering large simian like creatures that were angered at the presence of him and the men he was with who made a lot of noise screaming and then began picking up large rocks and hurling them at him and the other men they shot in the air causing the creatures to scatter he never knew that they were anything out of the ordinary just thought they were local wildlife like others he had encountered at times during security sweeps after a firefight
@@paktahn Teens in a highly stressful situation in a totally foreign environment can also hallucinate, or just mistake what they're looking at. In order for their brain to reconcile the confusion, it invents a story that makes sense to the brain's owner.
There's no such thing as monsters, ghosts or aliens. Humans are easily duped, they hallucinate, their sensory organs can be fooled with vibrations, there's fumes or CO2 or drugs that alter perception. Stress and confusion pollute someone's experience, people lie for attention or money or to cover up their mistakes. Cultural differences produce different stories about the paranormal. Religious beliefs and a total ignorance to science also lead to someone inventing a narrative that makes sense to them, which leads to a recounting like the one you described your relative having.
Eyewitness accounts are incredibly faulty and are just not good enough to act as a basis for scientific proof.
@@oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368 so wait let me get this straight your saying that some one who was vetted by the fbi had regular drug screenings and regular psychological screenings to prove that they were stable enough to guard the nations nuclear arsenal to the point of executing any person on site no questions asked entering the zone he was guarding without his approval who had more training than the average soldier and had far stricter qualifications than a average soldier that had to be regularly renewed is not a credible source so exactly what is a credible source for anything because in this case i dont see how it can get more credible in fact if you can claim he isnt credible by your previous post then you have to throw out every observation made by anyone including all scientists as any scientist conducting an experiment is an eyewitness to its result but eyewitnesses can not be trusted in your eye i would finish by saying that any sane person would probably conclude that any person the government will trust to guard the most powerful weapon ever created by man can be trusted to recount something that they saw while doing their assigned duty
@@paktahn I'm saying it's more likely that the guy you're referring to did not see a ghost/cryptid/monster, but rather was mistaken, high, stressed, or lying. Yes, that is what I'm saying.
Because monsters, ghosts, and aliens do not exist.
@@oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368 apparently you didnt read my first post thoroughly or didnt understand it he never claimed to see anything other than what he though was normal fauna from the area in fact i didnt even know that rockapes were considered to be cryptids till watching this vid i was used to seeing wildlife on the security sweeps and upon encountering what others in the group said were rock apes really didnt think more of it at the time of the sighting it was not stressful as they knew the perimeter was secure due to sensors set up around the airbase and he could not have been high as i stated due to the requirements to keep his security clearance nor could he have been drinking as he was on a fast reaction team that was on call 24/7 and drinking was prohibited strictly even when off duty as far as mistaken i would say that is possible but for the fact that no primate in vietnam is capable of throwing rocks as big as were thrown and none come close to the size seen you have what seems to be a problem of associating absence of proof with proof of non existence by sciences own rules you can never truly say that anything dose not exist ghosts may not exists but that cannot be proven monsters arguably do exist and is relative to each of us aliens by sheer chance have to exist even if we havent seen them yet to claim they dont would be like back when scientists claimed there would never be heavier than air flight only to be proven wrong a few short years after science has been wrong many times before and almost definitely is wrong about a lot right know most scientists acknowledge this to be true
I read this story about an American soldier that claimed he saw the ghost of a Roman Solider in Phan Thiet a month or so after Tet and the spirit spoke to the bewildered man saying " memento mori" remember that you [have to] die 😮
I have a scary ghost story about a ghost plane that my wife and myself saw during a return flight from the Mediterranean sea , we were returning to our business's airstrip in iowa.
The type of plane my wife Madison and myself was in was a modified F-14D-S MK21 which is the best variant of the F14 tomcat (the -S mk21 has technology that is only available for our squadron).
But the ghost plane we saw was a small twin engine (propliner) with the trident tail from the Lockheed constellation, the top and bottom (dead center) was on fire , while we saw seats falling out of the plane with skeletons in the seats and skeletons are seen in the cockpit
Fun fact: the band the doors front man jim morrisons father, George stephen morrison, was admiral on "The Maddox" at the time of the gulf of tonkin, and the operation is now known to have been a false flag operation.
So i would believe nothing that supposedly surrounded it
Yup. War equals profit. Terrible.
@@mjbeezer If that were true we'd have privatized Iraq's oil fields. We didn't.
What we did do was depose a murderer, whose absence caused over 65% of Iraqis to vote in their first ever free elections.
The 'profit' was human freedom.
@@67marlins81 😅😅😅😅😅😅. You're funny
@@speez6106 So it's funny and you need cartoon emojis because you're 12, I guess?
I stated facts, maybe you can't comprehend them - that's on you.
dude you're killing the fun for all these gulible morons
I'm fascinated by cryptids. My stepfather served as an army engineer in Vietnam. While enjoying cigars with friends I asked him if he ever saw anything unusual while serving. Without missing a beat he responded, "what? Rock apes?" All of us there were momentarily speechless. He then went on to describe different encounters he had with them. It was fascinating.
Personally, I suspect the Oarfish Incident was just an excuse to explain unauthorized weapon discharges. Some units were very particular about firing your weapons only when allowed, so if you came back to base without every bullet you had been issued, you better have a good excuse, ideally involving a lengthy and valorous battle where your unit earned multiple decorations. The one fellow I knew who had to write down those excuses for his unit was a very bored and uninspired clerk by the end of his tour. Upside, he never had to request Graves Registration so he was happier than many.
Personally, I suspect the incident never happened at all.
If it did happen, I suspect details, like the size of the animal, are embellished. If that's the case, the most likely candidates are the bull shark and the Mekong giant catfish. Both would be interested in anything splashing.
@@Dimetropteryx For sure, I suspect embellishment was involved if it did happen at all. Indeed, the soldiers themselves need not have embellished at all but rather others retelling the tale did it, making a fun story about couple of guys scared out of the water by a catfish into a mildly-frightening tale of a 30-foot leviathan.
Similar thing happened to a swamp-dweller I knew. He was fishing, had a baby alligator fall in his boat. He bashed its brains in and used it for bait. He joked to his kids at home that he had defeated a "mighty monster." Well, one of those kids told someone else about the "mighty monster" without qualifying that it was a three-footer that he could beat to death with his bare hands. The story grew from there and soon the very confused man was inundated with concerned townsfolk thanking God that the massive 13-foot male gator that knocked his boat over hadn't killed him.
What an excellent narrator Luke Lamana is. Richard, you have been knocked off your pedestal. Wonderful material professionally told.
And trouble is they didnt find the heavy clear fishing line Charlie set up so it looked like a real phenomenon.
I absolutely love the cryptic videos, I'm excited to watch the next part! You guys are the best.
It is fitting that Solid Snake narrate these war-related stories.
LOL
We're still discovering new animal species in these deep inhospitable jungles, so clearly there's still a lot we don't know about. Soldiers will move through areas not usually traveled by people, and so this is a deeply intriguing set of stories.
Great to hear Luke over here again!
Love his narration over on Wartime Stories.
i need the next episode to drop asap
I only found this channel in the last year or so. Absolute godsend. The narration, artwork and general ambience is just fantastic.
6:10 The existence of the Outworld and Nitara confirmed.
The most disturbing part of this episode is the absence of sights and the gas block on the AR.
I was told a story by a guy that was stationed in South America that he was on a patrol in the jungle with his squad and came into a small clearing where they came up on a six foot tall bird standing on the path. They slowly backed up and retreated the way they came. He said just looking at this thing and specifically it's beak, you could tell it was likely carnivorous and appeared dangerous.
"Surely goodness and mercy will follow me... 'cause I'm getting the hell out of Viet Nam..!"
I'm Vietnamese, my grandpa used to tell stories about how the French shot two massive sea serpents near a cave in Hà Tiên, the bodies were never found however
1,200 lbs anaconda.
I for one WELCOME OUR GIANT SNAKE OVERLORDS.
All hail the giant danger noodles
I remember vividly as a child the News reel films of American planes bombing targets in the jungles of Vietnam, never forgot it !!!
Nice! Been waiting for a Vietnam War video. Thanks!
PS. It would be great if we were to also hear from the experiences of Vietnamese soldier, either North or South, if there were any available
And this video came here at the right time, Pentagon now is disclosing that UFO's are real..
Love it! I was wondering when you'd get around to the Vietcong sasquatch. They're everywhere!
About the Giant Snakes:
They are known by the locals as the Naga. Naga are revered and often depicted on temples and palaces. The Naga is a possible surviving relative/descendant of Titanoboa, a prehistoric giant constrictor snake similar to a Burmese Python
I've seen the photo they took - at least, a photo taken during Nam. It's hard to see scale, until you realize those are termite mounds around it. Then you realize the snake is MASSIVE.
@@hephaestus6365 Titanoboa Lives…
I always hoped Enemy Unknown would have a sequel.
Gonna sneak up behind my granny and give her a spook to celebrate this here upload
That's horrible. Don't give her a heart attack or stroke! D:
@@NodDisciple1 turned out she was already dead, I scared her back to life tho
Caught the earlier version with the "almighty glitch" in it. At first I thought it was just part of the video until it went into a strobe pattern flashing green.
Other than that the video as a whole was great. Had a laugh when I refreshed the page after the end to see the video was set to private to fix it.
As I mentioned before, my brother is a Long Tan veteran. I'm sending this to him to watch.
YES! A CROSSOVER EPISODE? ARE YOU KIDDING ME???
Thank you, Luke for taking the time out for the voice over. Well done all on a great episode!
As for the first scene episode, In the Philippines, we have a similar cryptid called "Aswang" in tagalog" or "Abat" in visayan dialect. This cryptids are basically human by daylight though some can allegedly shapeshift in the middle of the afternoon but most of them at night. They are humans who got the power of flight like a big bat or bird through some sort of incantation or spell. This power can also be passed down to their kids as their successors. I remember this were told to us by our parents and part of our folklore. I don't believe it then, until one time I myself experienced it. When we were having a celebration in our ancestral house in Cebu. In the middle of the night, the roof got shaken by a loud sound similar to that of a flapping wings which continued for more than 3 or 5minutes. Our househelper checked it outside and even went on the roof with a machete and bamboo-spear but seen nothing.
It didn't take long for a Filipino to mention the Philippines and turn it about them again.
Aswang was already touched upon in this channel and it's not similar at all to the first cryptid described in the video
Actually, it looks more like either a Manananggal or a Boroka, not an Aswang.
Ended too soon. Can't wait for the next episode
We were just talking about weird stuff found by troops in 'Nam while this was waiting to publish...
This is the first time I've heard these stories, thanks!
Damn, I wanna see those snake photos.
Isn't it strange that when the world has a conflict there is always something Supernatural that happens that is witnessed by military personnel people who would be the last to make up stories especially during a war we'll be live in Strange Times but I can't help thinking that we are being observed
We NEED some Soviet Afghan war mystery stories. There’s insane things that occurred that have been lost in time after the collapse of the USSR
Ooh, crossover.
Well, time to watch this while awaiting for Together Again (Adventure Time: Distant Lands), True Colors (Amphibia), and Separate Tides (The Owl House).
I love these stories about soldiers and marines fighting aliens and cryptids.
Second to none! A Marine and his gun!
Excellent addition to your channel.
Outstanding content!
As always, great story. I find it so kind of Bedtime Stories founders to go out of their way to help enable a guy who had essentially pirated their story line & presentations to have decided to assist, give their support to help “Wartime Stories” founder to improve development of his Channel and make it more successful. Wisely avoiding lengthly and expensive legal actions. Bedtime Stories founder & team are demonstrating there is a better way to essentially manage potential pirates .
I'm just purely speculating here, but maybe the two channels creators know each other and are friends or something. One decided to make a similar channel covering different topics in a similar way. Plenty of channels who do that.
what a great birthday gift!!! cannot wait for the next episode!!!
Happy birthday & many more! Stay safe! 🎂
@@h.calvert3165 that was sweet, thank you so much!
*lizard casually looks over* “hey bro what’s that?” *gets lit up*
Talk about killing the vibe lmao
My jimmies were RIGHT rustled earlier lol ❤ thanks for reposting it
I'm glad that Harold Wilson kept us out of this conflict
I literally just got into bed great timing.
This guy's pretty good. Drama can sometimes make me wander off; I don't have the focus for that. But the way this guy tells things in a more matter-of-fact way keeps me hooked.

One of the BEST videos you've done💗💗
