Account

The witness and a companion were watching a meteor shower on their wooded property when the witness shone a flashlight beyond the garden and saw large, wide-set eyeshine. The entity hid its head behind a fence post and peeked out for about a minute. It then abruptly left the area, with branches breaking heard as it walked bipedally into the woods.
