Account
While checking a loud water pump near the work site, the witness walked to a nearby dried stream bed with a steep bank. Something moved east around a curve very quickly, seen only as a brown flash. The witness judged it was running on two legs based on the sound rhythm, which differed from familiar four-legged animals.
