Class A First-hand BFRO #58414

Memory told of a possible daytime sighting while hunting geese outside Carlisle

13 November 1982 about 10AM Carlisle, Warren County, Iowa 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a relative were hunting geese from a concealed blind in a harvested field when they noticed movement to the east. They observed a tall black figure in side profile walking very fast while stooped over, heading north toward a gravel pit until it left their line of sight. They walked to the area afterward but found no tracks, noting the ground was frozen and the figure had been on a gravel road.
