Class A First-hand BFRO #78337

Day-time road crossing sighting 40 miles southwest of Ocala

March 2017 approximately 6:30 a.m. Homosassa, Citrus County, Florida 1 witness

Account

Early one morning in 2017 the witness was driving with a companion toward a boat ramp for a fishing trip. While navigating an S-curve, the witness saw a tall hairy figure cross the road from left to right about 75 yards ahead, moving from shadow into a sunlit patch. The figure disappeared behind a blind spot before the vehicle reached the crossing point, and the companion did not see it. After stopping at the location, the witness found no tracks, trail, or odor.
