Givin' up hope

So here's why I got into the subject and why I still look into bigfoot even though 99% of the evidence to me is BS. To make a long story short I did not believe in anything from about the age of 13 till 19 I was an atheist didn't believe in bigfoot UFO's ghost all of it I thought was all bullshit made up by crazy people looking for money or attention. Then when I was 19 I saw with my friend a green orb the size of 2 cars stacked on top of each other fly about 50 yards over a bunch of houses and our car. The thing looked like a mini green sun. I have no idea what it was could of been a UFO, Military advanced tech, an angel, Demon, an actual flying mini green sun, I have no idea I just saw the thing. So after that I was like shit maybe some of these people are telling the truth. So I started to look into mainly UFO'S and 99% of the stories seemed fake but then you have the Foo fighters from WW2 and a few stories that really seem creditable but that's really it. So I stopped looking figured I will never be able to figure out what I really saw and I just tried to forget about it. A few years go by and I was working as a private contractor. I worked with a guy we will call him Adam that's not his name but I know he does not want people to know his story. so I will keep his real name private. Adam and I were talking after work just hanging out for a few hours and bullshitting we were staying in a cabin we were residing because the Cabin was in Estes park Colorado and we lived in Denver. He said a few time this job made him feel uneasy and the woods in general made him feel uneasy. So finally as we talked I asked him why he didn't like the woods? He told me I wouldn't believe him. I told him I had a story he wouldn't believe and I would tell him mine first if he told me his, he agreed. I told him about the Green orb. After that he told me his story. Adam said him and a friend where camping off of 285 a road that goes up the Colorado Rockies they were shooting guns and just hanging out on the top of a ridgeline/mountain. he said that at night they started to hear loud sounds coming from the bottom of the hill large bangs and crashing from trees falling. They both started looking for what was making the sounds and he said behind a large group of trees they could see a large outline of a hairy man. All black no eye shine. Adam and his friend started to call out to the figure asking who he was what he wanted and that they were armed. Adam said the figure cut them off in the middle of there yelling with the loudest roar he had ever heard, and the figure started to advanced towards them up the hill. It got about half way up the hill when it got behind trees and they could not see it, the figure roared again, Adam and his friend scared out of there minds unloaded there weapons into the trees and ran like hell back to there car leaving all there camping gear, Adam said he will not go back and he does not camp anymore. I understand this is just a story on the internet but I swear everything I said is true I know the green orb happened I saw it and those things what ever they are exist. That made me open to more stories and believe me I have had people tell me stories I do not believe at all, but Adams story seemed so real he never told anyone but me he seemed so honest when he told the story and when he told it, it was like he was experience the event again. I just cant call him a liar, Adam was honest hard working just a simple guy, I just believe his story one of the only stories I do believe in. So here I am know I don't really look for evidence on the internet anymore like I said seems to be mostly bullshit. I do however go up to the mountains a lot now and camp always with a weapons, I have seen mountain lions a few bear basically everything but evidence of bigfoot. Although I have no reason to believe, Adams story has never left me. After all the lies I have come across that have made me really wonder about this subject I still have that story. I don't know what they truth is but some creature scared Adam to death that night it wasn't a bear or mountain lion he swears he knows what he saw, and I get it because lots of people told me I just saw a low flying helicopter and I laugh at them because I'm not idiot, and neither is Adam, I guess my advice after all this is do your own research get off the internet and into the woods its the only way your ever going to find anything if there is anything to find.
