Class A First-hand BFRO #6746

Man has sighting after massive landslide on Highway 50

1 January 1983 4:00 p.m. Meyers, El Dorado County, California 1 witness

Account

The witness was traveling by truck when a mudslide blocked Highway 50 and stopped with others to view the slide area. The witness then saw a large dark bipedal figure high on the steep hillside across the river, apparently also looking at the slide. The figure stayed upright for about 15 seconds, appearing to lean on a small tree, then walked uphill out of sight, moving more smoothly than a bear on two legs.
