Account

The witness and a companion were playing darts and watching meteors from a relative's yard at night. A roughly five-foot-tall hairy biped jogged across the lit front yard, paused to look at them for a few seconds, then sprinted rapidly into darkness. Both witnesses reported seeing it, while the resident relative did not.
