Class A First-hand BFRO #4393

Early morning sighting of large, upright animal on rural bridge in Southern Georgia

December 2001 about 3am Quitman, Brooks County, Georgia 1 witness

Account

Around 3 a.m. in December the witness was driving home along Clyattville Road in Brooks County when she noticed a very tall bipedal figure standing by a bridge and apparently reaching toward tree branches. As she approached with bright lights and sounded the horn, the figure turned its head toward the car, showing a red eye reflection, and lowered one long arm. Frightened, she did not stop and drove quickly past.

Evidence & investigation

What the source says was found or done. Claimed evidence is listed as claimed; the Anomadex has not examined it.

Follow-up

An investigator conducted a phone interview in which the witness reiterated the great size and red eye reflection, and the investigator noted the bipedal stance and reaching behavior suggested it was not a bear.
