Class B First-hand BFRO #69411

Long distance daylight sighting by farm owner 5 miles south of Ashland

9 June 2021 approximately 5:15pm Ashland/Hayesville, Ashland County, Ohio 1 witness

Account

In the late afternoon after rain, the witness was mowing behind the house when a large all-black figure appeared near a distant field corner. The witness moved to a wood pile for a better view and watched the figure travel northeast across a planted field along a deer trail before disappearing into tall weeds within about a minute and a half. After waiting several minutes without it reappearing, the witness finished mowing and later searched the area for tracks without success.
