Account

After hours with no activity the witness and her partner stopped at a road intersection and detected a large bright heat signature. They recorded thermal video showing one figure leaning from a tree and a second larger figure walking up behind it while crunching sounds were heard. They left quickly and returned next day for comparison photos to estimate size.
