Class A First-hand BFRO #14243

Dusk sighting by charter bus driver on Hwy 160 near Mancos

October 2004 near dark In Between Durango And Cortez, Montezuma County, Colorado 1 witness

Account

A professional driver was driving an empty bus eastbound on U.S. Highway 160 near Mancos, between Cortez and Durango, shortly after sunset. About 150 yards ahead, the witness saw a large, entirely dark, muscular figure on two legs dash rapidly across the road from south to north in two to three seconds. When the witness reached the crossing point, thick woods on both sides hid any further trace, and a second driver traveling behind did not see the crossing.
