Class A First-hand BFRO #26543

Nightime roadside sighting south of Woolaroc

August 2009 about 1:30 a.m. Barnsdall, Osage County, Oklahoma 2 witnesses

Account

Two companions were driving back toward their campsite late at night after dropping others off. They noticed a broad figure squatting in a ditch beside a guardrail that turned its head to watch their vehicle pass. They turned around to look again but it was gone, and a visit the next day found only flattened grass.
