Class A First-hand BFRO #5280

Two cars stop to let pair of BF cross the road

7 November 2002 a little after 9 pm Holland, Ottawa County, Michigan 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving home at night when the car ahead came to a complete stop. Two very large, barrel-chested bipedal figures crossed the road in front of the cars with a high-stepping march, appearing unbothered by the vehicles and lights. The witness drove past slowly, did not see them again, and hurried home shaken.
