Class B First-hand BFRO #36727

Biologist observes a biped on a ridge outside Missoula

13 September 2006 afternoon - broad daylight Missoula, Missoula County, Montana 1 witness

Account

While riding a horse on a ridge, the witness saw a tall black upright figure walking below the opposite ridgeline. The witness moved higher for a better view, after which the figure turned and ran toward cover and disappeared. The witness first thought of a bear but judged the upright posture and running speed to be inconsistent with a bear.
