14 May 2015 nearly midnight Iowa Falls, Hardin County, Iowa 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving home from work at nearly midnight when something jumped onto the road at the top of a hill. It looked toward the vehicle for a second or two, showing big red eyes, then quickly crossed to the woods on the other side. The witness described it as gigantic and black, and said its speed and the height of its eyes made him think it was a Bigfoot.
