Class A First-hand BFRO #5463

Dusk sighting by hunter on Fort Hunter Liggett

16 February 2002 forty minutes after sunset Jolon, Monterey County, California 1 witness

Account

The witness was waiting camouflaged near a creek for wild pigs after sunset. A very large silver-gray biped walked upright along a raised road about 75 feet away, taking several strides through a clearing before disappearing. The witness ran to the road, called out, and drove the area but found nothing, and a next-morning search found no tracks.
