Motorists see tall, hairy human-like figure wading across the Colorado River east of Glenwood Springs
Four people driving west on the interstate in daylight noticed a tall, thin, dark hair-covered biped in the Colorado River.

The witness was bow-hunting elk and reported hearing knocks timed to his steps near a clearing in the afternoon.

Nighttime sighting of two furry bipeds in Eagle River during snowstorm
The witness was driving west on a snowy highway at night when headlights revealed two upright, furry figures walking in the middle of the river. The witness pulled over and watched them from about 30 feet away, noting human-like shape with long arms, elbows and knees, and a face-to-face look with the nearer one. After passing them and getting out to look upriver, the witness waited several minutes but the figures did not reappear around the bend, then drove home.
Threatening bellows directed at hikers and their dogs in the Holy Cross Wilderness
The witness and a companion were hiking a high-elevation trail with two dogs when they heard a very loud, rhythmic wailing and moaning sound from a pine cluster about 50-75 yards away. The sound lasted several minutes and seemed to move toward them, growing louder, which frightened the witness and held the dogs' fixed attention without prompting a chase. They left without seeing the source, and minutes later a ranger they met said she had also heard the unfamiliar sound.
BFRO Investigator, Keith Foster's evaluation of tracks found on the south shore of the Eagle River. App. 1 mile east of the town of Eagle.
The witness reported finding three large human-like footprints while fly fishing on the south shore of a river east of town. The prints were documented with photographs and tape measurements, including one about 18 to 19 inches long with a 38-inch step to the next print. The investigator stated that bear, human, and hoax explanations were ruled out by visual examination and estimated a very heavy animal from depth and area.
