Class B First-hand BFRO #24767

Motorist recalls possible early morning sighting north of Mt. Vernon

15 November 1991 about 1am Mt. Vernon, Lawrence County, Missouri 1 witness

Account

Around 1991 or 1992, the witness was driving home alone about 1 a.m. when an animal on all fours ran across the road and she braked to barely miss it. In a few seconds she noted its body was level rather than sloped, its legs were distinct without belly skin, and its lighter-colored hairless-looking face without a snout turned sideways to look at her. She heard nothing because the radio was on, and found no sign at the site the next day.
