- Miami Beach, Government Cut. Duration: 4-5 minutes. The exact date is unknown. It was in the summer of 1967, at approximately 3:00 AM.
Anthony Martin was fishing at a location near the Port of Miami. Suddenly, he saw a whirl in the water. He first thought it was a scuba diver, but to his astonishment, he saw an enormous animal coming out of the water. It stood about 8 feet tall and its weight must have been about 400 pounds.
“Its head, face, eyes and ears looked like the ones of an ape. The body was covered with a very black thick hair, its arms were long; they extended below the knees. Its hands and feet were very big. A bright lamp from a small house lit the entire place. When it finally came out of the water, it walked towards me. The creature was limping on its left foot. There was a small fence nearby; it was only about 3 feet high, so it wasn’t difficult for the creature to jump over it; in fact, the being was so big that it stepped right over it. It walked a full circle around me. The animal stopped at about 10 feet from me and emitted a guttural sound. By that time, I saw the lights of an approaching police car. The headlights were pointing at us. The creature continued to walk around for a few more moments until it finally went back in the water and disappeared. Two police officers with their guns came out of the patrol car; they told me that they already knew about the creature. I finally left and went home. That marked the end of my favorite sport: fishing”, he said. At the present time, Mr. Martin is retired and he lives in Las Vegas, Nevada. This interview was recorded on video, in 1991.
