August 2003 around 4-5 am still dark Hinkley, Pine County, Minnesota 1 witness

Account

In the early dark morning the witness left a trailer to use outdoor facilities when a dog unusually refused to follow. About 10-15 feet away a large bipedal figure over 7 feet tall moved silently across the yard, paused to turn its head toward the witness, then continued in a smooth gliding motion down an embankment toward a creek and into the woods. The witness grabbed a flashlight but saw and heard nothing further, later noticing fine dust particles hanging in the air where the figure had paused.
