Class B First-hand BFRO #35940

Possible early moming sighting from second story apartment in Atlantic Beach

7 July 2012 5:15 am Atlantic Beach....in The City, Duval County, Florida 1 witness

Account

Early in the morning the witness stepped onto a second-story apartment balcony and turned on the light. She immediately heard a loud primate-like scream followed by woo-woo calls, which set a neighbor's dog barking. After several minutes she noticed a tree rustling, heard low grunts and footsteps along a privacy fence, and watched a very wide, hunched, ape-like shadow lumber along the fence line before two figures reportedly moved off together into the dark.
