Close encounter with two witnesses near Kettle Moraine Oak Opening outside Palmyra
Account
Two companions parked at night to shoot bottle rockets when the driver noticed movement across the road. A very large upright figure stepped onto the road and approached them, becoming visible in the truck's cargo light and moonlight. Frightened by its size and continued approach, they scrambled into the truck, reversed toward it, and fled at high speed.
