Truck driver has early morning sighting on Highway 44 near Missouri River

14 November 2006 around 5 am, still dark Burke Or Gregory, Gregory County, South Dakota 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving a straight truck east on a highway near the Missouri River before dawn and saw a dark figure crouched on the right shoulder in the headlights. As the truck closed to about 15 feet, the figure stood on two legs and moved away from the road, appearing as tall as the top of the passenger window. The witness later returned in daylight but found no tracks due to frozen ground, though roadkill remains were present near the spot.
