Daytime sighting by two men while driving near Narbona Pass

12 May 2009 5:00 pm Crystal, San Juan County, New Mexico 2 witnesses

Account

Two people driving over a mountain pass in daylight saw a large hairy biped running diagonally up a hillside toward forest cover. The figure was described as broad, at least seven feet tall, with dark brownish hair, moving fast on two legs with long strides and using an arm to pull on trees. After losing sight of it, they stopped at a creek crossing a mile or two away and felt watched for about an hour before leaving.
