Account

The witness was geocaching with three children in a rural wooded park on a sunny afternoon. They heard a very loud crashing sound about 25 to 30 feet away and briefly saw a jet-black elongated shape. They found no branch, impact mark, tracks, or other evidence on the soft ground, and the children were badly frightened.
