Daylight sighting by motorists near the Flathead River
Account
Two occupants driving toward Missoula in morning daylight spotted a very tall, uniformly black bipedal figure moving rapidly across an open hillside across the highway and river. The driver watched it with binoculars while the passenger attempted cell-phone photos, observing for about two to two-and-a-half minutes as it crossed right to left then turned uphill with long strides and swinging arms. Both described it as much larger than a person and moving at a running pace despite a relaxed walking gait.
