The investigation will cover wooded areas, field edges, low-ground and creek terrain, a barn and equipment perimeter, and an ATV trail along the southern property boundary.
senior lead agent blakey will be looking for and documenting potential indicators including:
• Unusual or unexplained tracks and impressions
• Disturbances to vegetation, brush, or soil
• Tree breaks or unusual damage inconsistent with normal environmental activity
• Possible bedding or resting areas
• Unidentified sounds or movement observed during the patrol
• Wildlife activity that may help explain reported observations
• Any other physical or environmental anomalies that warrant documentation
Aerial imagery will be collected over portions of the investigation area, while ground personnel will document observations with photographs, timestamps, and field notes.
The objective is not to prove a conclusion. It is to document what is actually present, rule out ordinary explanations where possible, and preserve anything that remains unexplained for further review.
Sr. Lead Agent blakey, will conduct the field assignment, with intel agent Ali maintaining communications and the operational log.
