Get chatty to summarize that 50 minute video up, I like a good conspiracy theory but I don’t have 50 minutes
This documentary explores the theory that the 1987 film "Predator" is not just fiction, but a disguised warning from the U.S. government about real, non-human entities hunting elite soldiers in remote jungles across the globe (0:00-0:25).
The video details a series of "Forest Hunter" incidents:
Vietnam (1968): A U.S. special forces unit vanished, only to be found days later completely skinned and suspended from trees (0:44-2:22). The official report blamed Vietcong guerillas, but forensic notes suggested unknown, precise incisions and blood drainage (1:57-2:22). A subsequent reconnaissance team also disappeared, with one dog tag found partially melted by an unknown heat source (2:23-3:01).
Cambodia (1972): Five American soldiers were found skinned with their spinal columns and skulls removed (3:27-4:16). A local villager reported seeing "lights like furious fireflies" and a "shadow that bent trees" before disappearing himself (4:20-4:44).
Forest Hunter Dossier (1975): The Pentagon compiled a 300-page classified document detailing 13 similar incidents in Southeast Asia, all sharing common patterns: victims were elite military units, attacks occurred in remote locations, bodies were displayed in trees, and specific organs were removed (4:47-5:49). Witnesses reported abnormal thermal signatures, strange lights, and visual distortions, and any civilian who provided detailed descriptions died or disappeared within 7 days (5:50-6:47).
Dr. Eleanor Franks (1974): A forensic anthropologist hired by DARPA to analyze photos of the remains concluded the trauma patterns were not human and suggested "selective collection of biological trophies" by an entity "hunting and collecting human specimens for unknown purposes" (6:57-9:15). She was found dead 3 days after delivering her report, with her office files and research backups missing (9:16-10:01).
Guatemala (1982): Eight Guatemalan special forces operatives disappeared and were found skinned and suspended from trees, with their wounds cauterized (10:29-12:36). A farmer who witnessed a "demon made of glass" also disappeared with his family (12:37-13:25). CIA officer Thomas Schaefer investigated and found anomalous, clawed tracks suggesting an entity that could appear and disappear at will (13:26-14:36). He also noted the "absolute silence" of the jungle around the site (14:37-15:00). Schaefer resigned from the CIA and later died by apparent suicide, his diary revealing an obsession with the hunter and a belief he was being watched (15:02-16:28).
Suriname Disaster (1985): A helicopter carrying Dutch special forces crashed with no apparent mechanical failure or external damage, and four of the seven operatives were found skinned in trees (17:10-18:46). This incident forced the Pentagon to act due to international pressure (18:47-19:02).
Major Alan Schaefer and George Dylan: A joint investigation team, including Major Alan Schaefer and CIA liaison George Dylan, was deployed to Suriname with a secret mission to confirm Forest Hunter activity (19:04-20:01). Their team, and a subsequent rescue team, also disappeared (20:14-20:53), leading to 25 elite operatives vanishing (20:54-21:03).
Hollywood Solution: Faced with an indefensible truth, the government used Hollywood to reveal the truth indirectly (21:13-22:15). John McTiernan was hired to direct "Predator" in September 1985, just months after the Suriname disaster (22:16-22:28). The film's script and storyboards contained precise details of the skinned bodies, matching classified forensic photographs (23:58-24:28). Arnold Schwarzenegger and an extra recalled military advisors on set providing extremely specific and disturbing details about the body displays (24:29-26:01).
Predator Design and Tactics: Stan Winston's design for the Predator creature matched descriptions from a 1973 Forest Hunter survivor (26:35-28:08). The film's depiction of thermal vision and optical camouflage also aligned with survivor accounts (28:30-29:14). Crucially, the scene where Dutch uses mud to mask his thermal signature (29:15-29:26) was based on a real tactic used by a soldier to survive a Forest Hunter encounter in 1983 (29:27-29:56).
Sequels and Further Revelations:
Predator 2 (1990): Introduced the idea of multiple hunters in urban environments (31:45-32:29) and antique weapons as trophies (32:31-32:46), aligning with later classified reports and discoveries (33:04-33:34).
Predators (2010): Introduced the concept of a planet as a hunting reserve (33:40-34:11), coinciding with survivor accounts of feeling like "zoo animals" and experiencing lost time (34:00-34:10).
The Predator (2018): Suggested predators were evolving and collecting genetic material from conquered species (34:24-35:14), which matched classified reports of new specimen encounters and DNA analysis of non-human tissue found at attack sites (35:15-35:45).
Project Anubis (1989-2005): The Pentagon established a classified program called Project Anubis to detect, respond to, and capture evidence of Forest Hunter entities (36:26-37:23). It had a devastatingly low success rate, losing 83 elite operators in 16 years (37:24-39:03). Survivors reported the entities had superior technology, effective camouflage, powerful energy weapons, and adapted their tactics after each encounter (37:43-38:30). The entities specifically selected the most dangerous and skilled fighters, treating it as "sport hunting" (38:31-38:52).
Hunter Response Team (2022-Present): A new, even more secretive division was established to counter the threat, focusing on "unconventional tactical threat research" (39:32-40:07). Its operators are recruited through non-standard channels and require specific experience in jungle operations, thermal countermeasures, and a capacity to adapt to scenarios violating conventional reality (40:08-41:05). The team operates globally, in areas with documented Forest Hunter incidents (41:07-41:45).
Accelerating Pattern (2024-2025): The Forest Hunter pattern is dramatically accelerating, with a 300% increase in documented incidents in the last 18 months compared to the previous decade's annual average (43:00-44:28). Recent encounters involve larger target groups and multiple entities working in complex tactical coordination (44:54-45:41). The technology employed has advanced, and trophy selection has become more specific, suggesting detailed human anatomical knowledge (45:48-46:24).
Government got a whole list of real life predators.
