Early evening sighting in meadow near Narbona Pass in the Chuska Mountains
Account
The witness was riding as a passenger in a truck in the evening when they noticed a large hair-covered biped about 60 yards from the highway. The animal walked on two legs with long strides and swinging arms while its face was turned toward the witness. The driver did not stop, and the group returned the next morning to videotape the area and cast a track.
