In 2002 the U.S. military is alleged to have killed a giant. The government is said to have covered the story, trying to keep it secret from the world.
When I first started looking into this story, it seemed simple enough to begin with. But then, as the years began to pass and the story tellers changed, so to did the story. So first, the original [or as far as I can tell] story that came out.
In November, 2005, Steve Quayle reported that the U.S. military had discovered a giant in March of 2005 and it was transported to a secret base in Europe. It was said to have been 12 to 15 feet tall and had red hair and six fingers and six toes.
A second version came from Quayle which included finding an ancient tomb where a giant was buried among artifacts and weapons. His original claim of an email from an [anonymous] Air Force officer turned into a letter he was sent. Quayle then went on Coast to Coast in 2008 and produced an [anonymous] Air Force pilot who said he flew the body back to Ohio, not Europe.
In 2015, Quayle then claimed that the U.S. military has a top secret gigantology unit. An [anonymous] Air Force officer said he personally killed the giant, who now was described as only 9 to 12 feet tall. After killing the giant, the officer than destroyed all evidence on government orders.
Then L.A. Marzulli stepped in with his version. His August 2016 video in which he claimed to have interviewed a military contractor or soldier who had witnessed the Giant of Kandahar "kill a soldier before being killed in turn by the troops." The body was then removed by an aircraft to be seen no more.
Marzulli calls the giant a Nephilim, but gives no details. He interviewed an "unknown man" at an "undisclosed location" on an "unknown date". He claimed that the interviewee said he shot and killed the giant but didn't give any specific details except to say it was a "remote" area in Afghanistan. The [anonymous] soldier said he and the others were sent to look for a missing patrol. They saw a red haired giant come out of a cave and "skewer" his friend "Dan" with a large blade.
The only service member with the first name of Dan or Daniel that is recorded as being killed in Kandahar in 2002 died with three other soldiers in an accident while clearing and disposing of explosives. The government further states that they have no reports of giants. They have no reports of an entire patrol disappearing in Afghanistan. They have no record of any such action or event taking place.
Descriptions of this giant also continued to evolve. He became 12 to 15 feet tall with a red beard, long red hair, and had six fingers and six toes. And he was further described as a "cannibalistic giant".
And the story gains more details. The unit searching for the missing troop [or said to be searching for the giant] was making its way along a goat path near a cave. They came upon an unusual pattern of rocks and bones and a broken piece of communications equipment used by the U.S. military. While looking at this scene, they are surprised by a 12 to 15 foot tall man with long red hair who emerges from the cave and skewers "Dan" with a pike-like weapon. The remainder of the team then opens fire, repeatedly shooting the giant in the face until he finally died. The entire incident took only 30 seconds.
A helicopter is sent in to remove the body. "It was too big we couldn't move it. It smelled, worse than a skunk -- a corpse that's been around for a while. The communication was sent out that we had a very large, possibly human creature." [anonymous soldier]
The soldiers were told to rewrite their after-action reports. "So we had to rewrite it the way they wanted it." [anonymous soldier]
And the quotes from anonymous soldiers continued via Marzulli.
"We started hearing a rumor about a unit that killed what they were calling a really tall person. At first I didn't think anything of it. I come to find out that the person they killed was actually three times the size of a man, had extra digits on their hands, and on their feet, and had red hair. A special unit had come and wanted this target. We'd heard they'd killed this thing inside a cave or the mouth of a cave."
"There was common knowledge among the military to hear this. Years later I came to find out I had returned from Afghanistan and had met other military members that had not been in the operations with me. If you would bring up the Giant of Kandahar they'd know about it."
He agreed the story sounded ridiculous. "At first you think, this has got to be a joke, this has got to be [sic] hoax. Then after things go down a certain way, and you keep hearing it, you start to realize it's not a joke. They kept telling us to keep our weapons high, which means normally you are ready to put two in the chest on [sic]in the head, but they kept telling us to put it towards a man's head and put it higher. So we would question why do they want us to shoot higher than a man's head?"
"We would hear the locals talk about rumors of these giants. They said they would live in the caves and they would eat people. They were cannibals. At the time, we compared it to tales of Bigfoot in the United States, every culture has this kind of folklore. To actually all of a sudden hear that a military unit had killed something though. . . "

Steve Quayle also published a report and photo alleging the discovery of a giant tomb, 28 ft. long. The Air Force sergeant in the photo is said to be holding the giant's turban. The body "was flown to a secret military base in Europe."
Colonel Haygood, USAF, stated "it looks as if it was taken in the late 50's to mid 60's. That is the old tan AF uniform." The photo is black and white.
Dave Smith is reported to have had this to say about the photo :
"The photo that you have of the sergeant holding the Giant's turban is my father. The photo was taken in the basement of a mosque in Ephesus around 1963, and is real. I have only allowed Steve Quayle to use that photo and some nut has falsely connected it to Afghanistan. My father died 11/25/67 and has no connection with any officer in this century . . . I only let Steve scan the original photo and gave him permission to use it. I have only seen him use it in one web page I believe. I didn't want this kind of criticism to be a result of someone making false claims about my Dad's integrity. I have seen the photo on one other web page but they have never responded to my unhappiness with the misuse of the photo. . . "
So we come round circle. Is it true? Is it false? There is no hard evidence either for or against. I'm certain somewhere I left out a part of someone's version which makes it all more exciting. But I hope I managed to capture the essence of the tale.

Perhaps bigfoot is the color of Halloween running lights? Hmmm.
Then we have the question : What is Bigfoot?
"Bigfoot is a popular myth who likes to eat human flesh and is said to be descended from a little boy who stayed in the woods and became a monster. However there are different Bigfoots, the Alaskan Bigfoot is c alled the yeti and hides in the Alaskan mountains. the Latin Bigfoot is c alled Acupacabra and eats other animals. a myth related to Bigfoot is c alled Sasquatch. that is all I know about Bigfoot."
First, I have to say, school assignment. And I'm just shaking my head. Myth, no. Eats human flesh, no. [I know. I know. There are some of you who endorse the cannibal version of bigfoot.] Have never heard the story of the boy who becomes a bigfoot monster. Don't recall Alaska having yetis. And I love the renaming of the Chupacabra.
Next answer to What is Bigfoot?
"Bigfoot, is a creature like a gorilla except a little different. Lots of youtube videos are about finding bigfoot and so on. Also, bigfoot has no proof on whether or not he is real or not. I don't believe that his real because 1. all the videos look like like a person dressed up in a gorilla or yeti/bigfoot suit, and, 2. there has been no proof or real bigfoot. That is just my opinion, but I think you should decide what you want! Hope this helps!"
"If it's a person, they are either a moron or completely insane. They are walking, swimming and diving in an area where there are hundreds of 12 foot gators and water moccasins everywhere. I was there watching it for a while. Seemed to notice me and walked toward deeper water. It went underwater and vanished. Paddled up there and it was nowhere to be seen."
