Account

The witness and a companion were driving on the interstate at night when headlights lit up a white erect figure over six feet tall on a nearby mountainside. The figure appeared to be watching highway traffic and was visible for only a few seconds in the dark. Both occupants noticed it and verbally confirmed to each other that they had seen it.
