Nighttime sighting by a motorist on a road south of Crawford

July 1996 about 02:00 at night Crawford, Dawes County, Nebraska 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving south on a curving highway at night with high beams on. A tall, black-furred human-like figure stepped to the edge of the road and stopped on the white line as the truck approached. The witness slowed thinking it might be someone needing a ride, then accelerated away when close and stopped miles down the road to process the sighting.
