Account
Shortly after midnight the witness and a companion were driving toward a casino when they saw a small bipedal creature standing in the opposite lane. They passed within a few feet while it stood still facing them, noting short dark hair, a human-like face, short tucked arms, and sharply angled bird-like legs. They returned after daybreak to look for tracks but found none because the ground was hard.
