Possible daylight sighting by motorist 2 miles north of Mena

Account

The witness was driving on a back road in the afternoon when she noticed a very tall gray figure near railroad tracks and high vegetation. She first thought it was a hunched person in a hooded sweat suit, but the way its arm moved made her feel it was not human. She drove to the spot where it appeared to be heading but did not see it again.
