Dairy farmer (former Marine) sees line of bigfoots (7) on his farm 10 miles west of Maysville

23 December 1978 around 4:30 PM Germantown, Mason County, Kentucky 1 witness

Account

A dairy farmer preparing to milk cows in late afternoon saw seven [name withheld] upright figures moving single file across a distant ridgeline. The lead figure paused and faced the witness while the others continued down toward a wooded creek area. When the witness started toward the area, nearby heifers stampeded past him, and he decided not to follow and returned to the house.
