AI Summary
5 min readOn a Sunday night in Oakridge, Oregon, former MUFON field investigator Patti Valvo walked out to her car trunk and saw what she first took for a star. In seconds it descended, grew from a pinpoint to the size of a volleyball, and came straight at her. She felt "primal fear," turned, and leaped up four stairs. When she took one last look, it was ten feet behind her. "It was the most incredible thing that's ever happened to me in my life," she says. But that moment was only the latest in a six-year journey that began with a very different kind of investigation, pulling Patti from behind a desk into the heart of some of the most active Bigfoot and UAP hotspots in the country.
From MUFON to the Field
Patti started as a MUFON field investigator working UFO reports from home. Her second case changed everything. A witness named Shane Church described a UAP—a wheel-within-a-wheel with amber and twinkling lights—hovering over treetops in Southeast Oklahoma. Patti was "blown away" when another independent researcher, Jimmy Williams, described the exact same object, verbatim, from the same night a mile away. That synchronicity convinced her there was something real happening, and she resolved to get "boots on the ground."

Show Notes
A former MUFON investigator went to Oakridge, Oregon searching for answers. One night outside her cabin, something came out of the darkness and headed straight toward her.
In this episode of Bigfoot Society, Patti Valvo shares what happened during an investigation that took her deep into some of the most active and mysterious locations in Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Oregon.
Near Oakridge, Patti heard unexplained knocks along the edge of the Willamette National Forest and experienced small objects landing near her as she walked back toward the cabin. Then came the encounter that sent her running—a brilliant ball of light descending near the forest and rapidly closing the distance behind her.
Patti also takes us to Sparks Lake, where she documented enormous barefoot impressions near the water, and Waldo Lake, where strange tree formations added another layer to an area already connected to disturbing eyewitness reports.
Her journey also includes Area X in Southeast Oklahoma, Board Camp Crystal Mine in Arkansas, a remote property near Lake Thunderbird experiencing unexplained vocalizations and animal activity, and an unsettling discovery beside a creek in an undisclosed location.
This is a journey through Bigfoot country with a former UFO investigator who started asking questions about what might be happening in the forests—and found herself experiencing things she still cannot explain.
