Class B First-hand BFRO #23046

Three witnesses observe large creature run in front of them while parked in Red Cloud State Park

September 2003 between 10pm and midnight Chadron, Dawes County, Nebraska 3 witnesses

Account

The witness and two companions were sitting in a parked car at a campground campsite at night. A very tall, slender bipedal figure ran across their front view about 40 feet away at high speed, seen only as a silhouette in moonlight. The group was frightened and left immediately without driving toward the direction it went. The witness later felt no human could have run that fast through the brush and vegetation.
