Bigfoot or Aliens

[@arthurbach9016]

Maybe a micro down burst or little green guy out partying to hard

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

Either one sounds good to me.

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

No tracks, no scat. Bizarro this is for sure. The only thing i can think it some kind of micro burst or small tonado and decided to just hit that tree.

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

Hard to tell.

[@FlourgoldWizards]

I’m guessing a small funnel shaped wind disturbance….

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

Very small

[@mrvirtue2181]

Twisted branches means a storm with erratic winds and down pours. Global weather must be considered?

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

Seemx the weather here is within norms.

[@rick9297]

If you say you just had a pretty good snow storm. The yeti would leave tracks but they were in the snow therefore you see no tracks, when the snow melted so did the tracks 😲🙃👍

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

Hmm. That would make sense.

Perhaps

Okay I don't know what is the kind of this fallen branches of this tree..it happened in my village When snow falls... accumulations occur on the olive branches... We all know how heavy the snow is... Also the internal structure of the olive tree branches is weak and perhaps this tree you talked about is also the same... All of these things make what is happening in front of you real and not...

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

The strange thing was only ONE tree was damaged. Many other similar pine trees in the area. No tracks, no other kind of damage to the tree. Just odd. We thought it was interesting, so we put it out.

Tree elephants

[@thisoldminewithlars5324]

Tree elephants paint their toenails green so you can not see them when they hide in the trees. Have you ever seen a tree elephant? No? See how well their disguise woks.

[@keithhowell4138]

@@thisoldminewithlars5324 they also paint their balls red to hide in cherry trees.

That must work well too. I have never seen one in a cherry tree.

[@robbob5318]

I read the comments, second thing I thought was storms damaged...however the broken branches on the ground are " piled up, pointing one direction??? Storms don't do that.. something wanted what was perched on the branches.. 🐦.. i personally watched a young black bear eating a chicken atop a thin tall white pine tree. No damages to the tree except the branch the hen was on.

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

Perhaps. glad it wasn't me.

[@GrooberNedJardine]

I hope it wasn't Keith on the Rum and acting like Tarzan when the limb broke Is he alright ? Yeah /Nah , probably a small Twister or a Bigfoot , either ither . Be careful out there cause you never know what's around 🦍🦨🦘🐻🐼🦫 👽💥 Cheers Ned 👍✌

Not me- too tired. 🙂Always got the .44 if needed. Eva is good at spotting critters when they are still a ways off.

Those are Stull squatshes. The Tommy knockers employ them on occasion to make stulls for the mine

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

Whoa! Not eve Eva thought of that one.

[@boulderboy245]

I have seen similar damage from rocks falling but no cliffs above the tree.

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

Yep

[@BlindDude]

They explain them as micro bursts or some crap like that around here

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

REAL micro...

[@thisoldminewithlars5324]

I think it could be advanced race of alien big foots possessing technology’s beyond our comprehension. Or tree elephants.

Nice!

[@jeffvallier4988]

My Dad took me to a movie in the 1970s. I wish I could remember the name of it. It was a documentary on Bigfoot. A party of men set up a camp in an area where all the trees were twisted and broken branches that looked just like what you are showing on your video. The men set up a electronic perimeter around their camp. In the middle of the night the perimeter alarm started to sound off. The camera man stuck his movie camera outside of his tent and pointed in the direction up a hill only to reveal 5 or Bigfoot creatures. The Bigfoot creatures started throwing big rocks at the camp , which destroyed the tents and sent the men running for safety. I didn't look like trick photography to me. So beware of flying rocks.

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

Roger that. Luckily I have a stout camper instead of A TENT.

[@michaeldale1150]

[@smokingjoking]

Snow and then wind damage. long branches with lots of needles on the ends created great leverage. And then add in some wind. Snap! Looked like one of the few tree's with long branches. It also has no wind break on the damaged side. Just my 2 cents.

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

Hmm, slightly different variety perhaps?

[@wlfwlker3704]

Wind, sorry

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

Wind or snow most likely. Very limited damage around though.
