Class B First-hand BFRO #24302

Man recounts a history of possible activity in the Sierra Anchas

BFRO YEAR: 1981-? about 2 hours after dark Globe-young Az, Gila County, Arizona 1 witness

Account

In 1981, while driving home from a deer-hunting trip on a road north of Globe, the witness rounded a corner and saw a dark figure standing about 10 yards off the roadside with bright red eyeshine. Startled and concerned about a companion in the vehicle and a deer carcass needing attention, the witness chose not to stop or back up and left the area quickly. The sighting occurred after dark and was recalled years later after reading other reports.
