Morning sighting by brothers near Yoncalla
Account
Two brothers scouting a deer-hunting area stopped on a mountaintop logging road in the morning and saw two upright, dark, muscular figures on a nearby mountaintop about 300-500 yards away. The larger figure walked to an overlook, looked toward the witnesses for about 30 seconds, then both figures walked away over the mountain. The witnesses then drove to a fork below, spoke briefly with a horseback rider, and later mentioned the sighting in town.
