Man recalls observing two short bi-pedal creatures while hiking west of Phoenix

BFRO YEAR: 1991-92 night Goodyear, Maricopa County, Arizona 1 witness

Account

The witness was night hiking with three companions along a canal road when he heard a loud guttural growl and saw a large tree shaking violently across a grassy field. Two small dark bipedal creatures then ran from the tree line toward him, stopped and crouched halfway across the field while watching him. He watched them briefly, then rejoined his companions who had noticed nothing, and the group left the area.
