Class B First-hand BFRO #17900

Possible daylight sighting by motorist on a gravel road south of Sturgeon Lake

23 February 2007 about 5:15 in the afternoon, close to sunset Sturgeon Lake, Pine County, Minnesota 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving on a road through pine forest and saw a large black human-shaped figure standing in the road about a quarter-mile ahead. The figure appeared startled, turned, and moved quickly off the east side of the road as the witness descended into a dip. After a brief loss of sight, the figure had vanished despite open visibility into the woods, and subsequent searches found only scattered garbage and no tracks.
