Recollection of a daylight sighting as a youth in Riverton
Account
The witness was riding a minibike on trails in wooded river bottoms when he lost control and crashed in a sand pit among shrubbery. As he looked up, he saw a large, heavily built, reddish-haired hominoid-like figure standing by a tree about 25 yards away. The figure looked at him briefly and then walked into thick brush.
