Motorist has a nighttime sighting near Karnak
Account
The witness was driving slowly on a rural gravel road at night when bright eyes were seen beside the road. A very tall, heavy, hair-covered biped stepped onto the road about 20 feet ahead, walked across, paused to stare at the vehicle for a few seconds, then continued crossing. The witness rolled up the windows and locked the doors out of fear and reported no unusual odor.
