Motorist daylight sighting 35 miles north of Austin
Account
The witness was driving with a young relative in the morning when a gorilla-like biped was seen on the left side of the road. It ran across the road in front of the car and climbed into a tree on the other side. The tree was then seen shaking violently, though the creature itself was not seen doing the shaking. The witness did not stop and later found no reports of an escaped gorilla.
