Account
The witness was leading an eight-person National Guard squad on a nighttime land navigation course. He sensed movement about 50 meters to the right and saw a very tall creature moving rapidly behind the trees with very large strides. The creature moved deliberately away until it was no longer visible, and none of the other squad members saw it.
