I am a security officer located at a facility being built in The Woodlands. I was on the graveyard shift with another officer, as we were patrolling the parking lot after making our rounds through the facility. The parking lot was not lit up due to the fact that they had not set up the lighting yet. The constuction trailers are the only lighted areas other than in the building. We came to a stopping point in our rounds when I just glanced over towards the trailers. I had to make a double take when I saw a figure walking slowly by. We were roughly 30 yards away, and I alerted my co-officer as to what I was seeing. We stood there in shock not believing our eyes. The figure was at least 7' tall with a sort of hunched back. The stride he was taking was much more larger than a normal man. Company policy states that I must contact the local authorities, so I called 911, and described what I saw to the operator. The figure walked into the woods out of light.

hey everyone this texas sighting is very interesting etc wow is there audio copy of that 911 call regarding this sighting. was there any other sasquatch evidence or follow up investigations to the sighting area. was this eyewittness reinterviewed. good afternoon bill green

A few seem to be hunched over. Could these be old BFs?

Might be... but more info is needed. What's the location?

According to the map at the TBRC, this sighting took place between Conroe,TX and Spring, TX. Check out the google earth city lights map. I'm skeptical, too populated IMO.

Here is another Google Earth map. There are a lot of sightings in this area.

Well, we must remember that the TBRC only considers reports from other states, such as Michigan (for example) to be bogus, if there is urban sprawl nearby.

I am pretty familiar with that area (or I was at least some years back). Spring Texas area has (had) many thick wooded creeks systems that extend throughout the area. When it comes to the possiblity of a wooded area used to discretely travel, I say "possible".

That does look a bit odd, doesn't it. The TBRC has quite possibly damaged the credibility of their own database where reports around urban areas are concerned.

I used to be sceptical of these reports that happen within or adjacent to areas we think of as being developed but have reconsidered as I've refined my concept of what I think a creature endowed with the cognitive capacity of an archaic human such as H. erectus might posses. (I hesitate to say animal in characterizing BF just as I would when considering humans , though of course we are essentially animals).
I don't necessarily think of their habitat being confined to these areas but as others have mentioned, drainage and other water systems are frequently overgrown like miniature wilderness systems offering plenty of cover and minimal human activity, especially at night, and would be dandy corridors for passage from one habitat to another. So if nobody's found any other evidence I wouldn't invest much energy into thinking it lives around there or frequents it, or would ever even travel that way again, but who knows..yet another brick in the wall, or stone in the foundation, and it doesn't hurt to look and keep an eye open, though with all the lights as evidenced by those GoogeEarth images the human eye wouldn't have much opportunity to adjust to the low light where an elusive and nocturnal cryptic might be hiding...in plain sight so to speak.

Another point is not being considered here: artificial light footprints are not necessarily indicative of urban density.

If there's money for it, a municipal region can light every single street even when traffic on those roads get maybe a half dozen cars an hour. The urban density of the Conroe-Houston--Sugarland-Galveston corridor, contrary to what locals might believe, is one of the lowest density metropolitan areas in North America. While that doesn't mean there aren't a lot of people (there certainly are at north of 4 million), they are spread loosely enough that significant corridors of darkness and where the city turns its back to natural features is still common. The reservoirs of Cypress and Barker are within the city, but are effectively dark, low-human activity zones after nightfall. Measure for measure, I'd have a more difficult time seeing something like this sighting in a periphery area like the Woodlands happen in a more compact metropolitan area like the San Francisco Bay Area or Montréal. Plus, as others noted, this is in or near the San Jacinto watershed.

The inverse can apply, too: a densely-populated city can effectively have a diffuse or low-impact light footprint. This, however, has not really happened on a wide scale yet.

Here's a more crisp night view of the Houston area, compared against the city of Montréal. Scales for both metros are different. In the latter, the demarcation between urban and rural is more readily identified, whereas the low-density development in Houston leave a more nebulous network of darkness between the light pollution.

This will be interesting to hear!

How does one verify that a 911 call has been made? Are they considered public record?

I believe they are public record, and copies can be freely requested. But don't quote me on that...

I guess I just did...quote you on that...lol

...dang, I better be right or I'm BUSTED!
