Account

While driving south on US 281 before dawn, the witness saw a tall hair-covered figure cross the highway in the headlights and stop in the roadside ditch. As he passed, he observed its large upper body, human-like face, and yellowish-green eyes watching him before it turned into the brush. He briefly considered turning back but continued driving, later questioning what he had seen.
