Small school group observe man-like figure on two separate nights east of Orlando

19 October 2012 10pm, dark outside Chulaota, Orange County, Florida 3 witnesses

Account

Five people were driving at night hoping to see something. Three of them saw a large dark bipedal figure run quickly from a tree into a pasture toward a tree line. One reported huge widely spaced silver eye shine, and the group noticed a foul rotting-garbage odor after stopping and opening windows.
