Class A First-hand BFRO #7225

Picnicker has daytime sighting outside Buffalo Creek

September 1978 afternoon, about 2 p.m. or 3 p.m. Between Buffalo Creek And Bailey, Jefferson County, Colorado 1 witness

Account

In 1978 the witness was picnicking with family near Wellington Lake in the afternoon when she saw a white-furred bipedal creature about 60 feet away. The creature repeatedly stepped out from behind a boulder and ducked back as a companion turned to look, repeating this four to five times before disappearing. The companion never saw it. The creature alternated between bipedal and stooped postures and moved swiftly and silently, striking the witness as playful rather than frightening.
