Extended daylight sighting from tower at Kelly's Bog in Kouchibouguac National Park

Summer 1997 early morning around 6:30 -7:00 am Kouchibouguac Village, New Brunswick 1 witness

Account

The witness was on a solo vacation and stopped at a large bog with a viewing tower in a national park. Early one morning he watched a uniformly greyish-brown upright figure from about 500 feet away, first walking away and then crossing his view for about 20 minutes while appearing to pick plants. He walked the boardwalk at ground level and then returned to the tower for the longer observation. He did not follow it into the bog and left without a definite identification.
