The witness was riding east on a highway with his wife driving when he spotted a tall upright creature in a field south of the road. The creature looked toward the road and then moved southeast toward trees as they passed. His wife also saw it briefly after he pointed it out, while their daughter did not look up. The sighting lasted under a minute in daylight and windy conditions.
