Account

Four people driving west on the interstate in daylight noticed a tall, thin, dark hair-covered biped in the Colorado River. The figure leaned slightly forward and swung long arms as it walked across the shallow water toward the highway. They lost sight after only a few seconds at highway speed with no place to stop.
