The witness had been left in the woods by companions in a plane to scout elk and was walking through a clear-cut around 4 o'clock. He heard an unusual sound and saw a grayish animal about 100 yards away standing on two legs and screaming with strange noises. After screaming, the animal turned and walked back into the forest on two legs.
