Man recalls night time sighting at an airport outside Frederick

19 March 1987 about 9 or 9.30 pm, dark Frederick, Tillman County, Oklahoma 1 witness

Account

In 1987 the witness rode as a passenger in a van with a companion to an airport hangar south of town at night. Through the side window the witness saw a dark hair-covered biped running alongside the van at matching speed, which turned its head to look at the witness. The companion did not see it. The witness refused to leave the van at the hangar and the pair left, returning the next day.
