The witness was driving late at night with a companion asleep in the car about five miles outside Watson on Highway 1. A very large white figure estimated at about seven feet tall ran across the road in front of the car from one woodline to the other under high-beam illumination. The figure moved very fast without looking toward the car and disappeared into the trees.
