Witness sees creature duck to avoid being seen; also reports odd lights
Account
The witness group surprised a creature on a desert bench that tried to avoid being seen by ducking behind rock. After circling to reach the other side, they saw it watching them with a curious expression before it hid again. The witness later estimated its height at at least 12 feet based on surrounding rock formations.
