Class B First-hand BFRO #15694

Possible daytime sighting by motorist on FL Turnpike outside Orlando (near Ocoee exit)

2 September 2006 noon Orlando, Orange County, Florida 1 witness

Account

The witness was riding as a passenger south on the turnpike near the Ocoee exit around noon when he watched a large brown-covered biped walking the same direction in a swampy meadow about 100 yards away for 5 to 10 seconds. The figure had an odd gait, uniform dark brown color including the hands, no identifiable clothing, and a pointed head with little visible neck. His wife was driving and did not see it, and he remained uncertain whether the figure was human.
