Class A First-hand BFRO #12913

Long-duration daylight sighting (distant) on Moscow Mountain

July 2005 about 3 in the afternoon Troy, Latah County, Idaho 2 witnesses

Account

Two companions resting on a high rock overlook watched a large dark biped and a smaller blonde biped moving below in a clear-cut and on a fire road. Over about 20 minutes the figures foraged, interacted closely, and walked erect toward and past the observers before disappearing behind trees. Later the same day the witnesses returned to the spot and reported crushed grass, long stride impressions, and large and small bare footprints.
