Class B First-hand BFRO #27676

Possible brief sighting by a motorist outside Mountain Iron

October 2009 around 9:20 a.m. Iron, Mn. Just Before Virginia, St. Louis County, Minnesota 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving east on Highway 169 toward Virginia on a bright Sunday morning when she spotted a large silvery-gray furry creature on a hilltop clearing north of the westbound lanes. The creature walked west toward the woods with a swaggered gait, long strides, swinging long arms and a slightly forward-bent posture, showing a conical head with little or no neck. After a few seconds median trees blocked the view, and the witness continued without turning back. A car stopped on the opposite side appeared to be watching the same thing.
