Video taken of running biped near Avalanche in Glacier National Park

June 2003 mid morning Lake McDonald, Glacier County, Montana 1 witness

Account

The witness was traveling through Glacier National Park in 2003 and recorded video from a tourist bridge over a river. Nothing was noticed at the time, but months later during tape review the witness saw a small figure moving downhill through trees on the far bank. A copy was sent for review, described as an apparent biped running downhill, pausing briefly behind trees before leaving sight, with very little detail due to distance.
