15 July 1989 approximately midnight Brick, Ocean County, New Jersey 2 witnesses

Account

Around midnight on a warm summer evening, the witness was talking with a companion beside a car in front of a home. They noticed a large grayish dog-like shape under a streetlight nearby. When high beams were turned on, the figure stood upright and ran bipedally across the road and around the dark side of the house, disappearing within seconds.
