Father and son nighttime roadside sighting in the Wet Mountains southwest of Pueblo
Account
While driving on a forest road in the early morning to find a campsite, the witness and a relative noticed an orange glow in a roadside stand of trees. As they drove past, the witness saw a tall erect human-like figure standing behind a large rock close to the road, turning its head and upper body to watch the truck. They did not stop, continued to a lake to wait for daylight, then returned in the morning to examine the site and take photos.
