Class A First-hand BFRO #48616

Possible daylight sighting while driving on a rural road between Helena and Great Falls

6 May 2015 0720 in the AM Between Helena And Great Falls (Edited Per Witness Request), Lewis And Clark County, Montana 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving on a private dirt road in the morning when he noticed a black two-legged figure about a quarter-mile away walking across a side road with an unusual sauntering, swinging gait. He stopped and backed up for a better view, but the figure was gone. Investigators later visited, measured the crossing, and recreated the figure from memory as much larger than a human, about 8'7" tall with very long arms and no visible clothing lines.
