Account
Around 7 a.m. in May 1999, the witness and three companions were trimming a powerline right-of-way near Sutherlin, Oregon. About a quarter-mile away on a hill they observed a very tall, dark, two-legged figure standing by a power pole, estimated at 8-9 feet tall. The figure then took very large steps out of the right-of-way.
