Class A First-hand BFRO #7263

Boy sees large biped crossing road behind school bus

April 1994 early morning around 6:00am Plainview, Deschutes County, Oregon 1 witness

Account

The witness was waiting for the morning bus in foggy, dim light when a large dark figure emerged from behind the approaching bus. The figure ran quickly across an open sagebrush valley toward ponderosa trees and the nearby forest, disappearing behind houses. The witness noted the speed and lack of any trail, and later found only faint ground marks.
