Truck driver watches a Bigfoot chase Deer across US-30 west of Boone

November 2012 dusky (twilight) Boone, Boone County, Iowa 1 witness

Account

A semi-truck driver traveling east on Highway 30 through the Des Moines River valley at twilight saw three deer run across the road ahead, followed about 75 yards behind by a tall hairy biped apparently chasing them. The biped crossed the highway ditch and lane in a few long strides. As the truck reached the crossing point, the creature stood at the edge of the tree line about 75 feet off the road watching the truck pass and turning to watch the deer.
