Class B First-hand BFRO #45150

Possible daytime sighting on a golf course in Northern MN

24 May 2014 around 7 AM Beltrami County, Minnesota 1 witness

Account

Early one morning the witness was talking with a coworker at a golf course bordering woods when he noticed a tall bipedal figure moving through dense brush parallel to a paved path. The figure, described as lanky and uniformly reddish-tan, walked with a long easy stride and covered ground quickly without running. After about 20 seconds it passed behind a small bathroom building and did not reappear on the other side. The coworker, who was facing away from the woods, did not see it.
