Possible Daylight Sighting near Tizer Lakes, reported by snowmobilers

The witness was snowmobiling with two companions to dig out a stuck snowmobile when they rested in a valley meadow. He spotted a very large dark figure standing about 200 yards away behind a sparse grove of trees and called a companion over, and both watched it for over a minute. The figure remained still and faced them before they left, and it was gone when they returned hours later with no tracks or further interaction observed.

Morning hike turns a veterinarian and her family into believers near Missoula

Three witnesses hiking on a ridge trail around noon stopped and watched a large dark object standing motionless beside power poles on a distant ridge for several minutes. The object then turned, took several large steps with visible arm and leg motion, and disappeared over the ridge. The daughter took a phone photo as it disappeared that was described as showing head and shoulders, and later took a comparison photo of the empty ridge.

Possible sighting and wood knocks heard near Swan Lake

While walking back toward the road the witness heard a single whoop-like call that the companions did not hear.

Biologist observes a biped on a ridge outside Missoula

While riding a horse on a ridge, the witness saw a tall black upright figure walking below the opposite ridgeline. The witness moved higher for a better view, after which the figure turned and ran toward cover and disappeared. The witness first thought of a bear but judged the upright posture and running speed to be inconsistent with a bear.

Video taken of running biped near Avalanche in Glacier National Park

The witness was traveling through Glacier National Park in 2003 and recorded video from a tourist bridge over a river. Nothing was noticed at the time, but months later during tape review the witness saw a small figure moving downhill through trees on the far bank. A copy was sent for review, described as an apparent biped running downhill, pausing briefly behind trees before leaving sight, with very little detail due to distance.

Cousins view a large biped figure on opening day near Virginia City

On opening morning of deer season two cousins riding in the back of a pickup scanning a sage meadow spotted a large dark figure about 250 yards away. They watched it for about 10 seconds as it faced them, slightly bent forward with an arm on its knee, appearing motionless. When the truck stopped and backed up to regain the view the figure was gone. The cousins continued hunting that morning while feeling as if watched.
