Class A First-hand BFRO #15615

Creature seen walking across pasture in daylight north of Grand Island

15 December 1979 morning around 10:30 St. Libory, (20 Miles N Of Grand Island), Howard County, Nebraska 1 witness

Account

The witness was in his pickup at the mailbox on a very cold, windy winter morning when he noticed movement in a pasture about a quarter-mile away. He watched for about 10 to 12 seconds as a large, dark-brown, long-haired, man-like figure with long arms took large steps south toward a shelterbelt, glanced toward him, then moved faster and disappeared into the trees. He did not go to look for tracks in the snow because he was afraid.
