Class A First-hand BFRO #62746

Sighting by motorist 10 miles SE of Big Thicket National Preserve

4 April 2019 about 10:00pm Saratoga, Hardin County, Texas 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a young companion were driving slowly north on Bragg Road with only parking lights on to look for the local lights. A tall dark bipedal figure emerged from woods on the east side about 20 feet in front of the truck and walked slowly across the road. It paused to look toward the occupants, showing eyeshine in the parking lights, then stepped over the road grade into the forest while crunching sounds were heard as it walked away. The witness stopped briefly then left immediately, unsettled by the human-like appearance and size.
