Account

The witness and a companion were driving east on a highway in Montana in the early morning. They saw a large reddish-brown hair-covered biped walking along a fenceline about 100 to 150 yards away. The animal took long strides and did not appear to notice the vehicle. They kept driving and watched it for only a few seconds without stopping.
