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.

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.

The figure was backlit by a neighboring porch light, showing a large rounded head on very large rounded shoulders with little neck.
