Class B First-hand BFRO #12815

Brief night time sighting near Blaine

April 2005 about 10pm at night Blaine, Grainger County, Tennessee 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving home with a companion at night when headlights revealed eye-shine ahead. As the car got closer he saw a dark, furry biped with human-like limbs standing by the road. The creature used a hand on a barbed-wire fence to jump it from a standing start and disappeared into a field. The driver stopped and looked but saw nothing further, and found only a loose fence post the next day.
