Class A First-hand BFRO #56826

Close daytime sighting on a ranch in the Canadian River Valley

14 July 2014 7:30 p.m., daylight Canadian, Roberts County, Texas 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving slowly on a ranch lease road in daylight when they noticed a large hairy figure standing in the open about 70 feet away. After initially mistaking it for an unusually large bull, they concluded it was a Bigfoot positioned on all fours. The witness glanced away briefly to stay on the road, and when they looked back the figure had vanished. They exited the vehicle to search but neither saw nor heard it again.
