Class A First-hand BFRO #8999

Woman reports riverbank sighting

March 2004 3:55 PM, bright sunny afternoon St. Regis, Sanders County, Montana 2 witnesses

Account

The witness was driving west across a bridge over a river with a companion on a sunny afternoon when she looked toward a sandbar and saw two reddish-brown hair-covered figures. The larger figure stood behind a much smaller one with arms outstretched and stepped forward while the smaller one leaned toward the water. The sighting lasted only seconds before the view was blocked, and the figures were gone when she recrossed the bridge about half an hour later.
