Nighttime sighting by Air Force personnel near Seney National Wildlife Refuge
Account
In winter 1977-1978 the witness and a companion were driving east on M-28 near Seney around 1:30 a.m. They saw a figure crossing the road ahead, backlit by headlights from beyond a knoll. The figure moved hunched over, then stood upright in the middle of the road showing broad manlike shoulders, arms, torso and a defined head before slouching and continuing across. They slowed near the spot and looked for tracks but spent little time searching due to cold and unease.
