Class B First-hand BFRO #206

Videocamera Accidently Captures Distant Bipedal Movement near Smith River Road

15 July 1999 Mid-afternoon Lorane, Lane County, Oregon 2 witnesses

Account

Two people were driving along a country road while videotaping the route. A figure came from behind a tree at a distance described as about two football fields and ran into the woods, appearing very briefly in the footage. The witnesses did not stop at the time and only noted the figure when reviewing the video, which they report still having.
