Close-range multi-witness sighting 3 miles west of Lawrenceburg

A couple driving home at night turned onto their rural street and saw a dark-haired ape-like animal in the headlights a few feet ahead.

Both adults observed the movement, though only the husband saw its fingered hands picking at the ground.

Possible Daylight Sighting near Tizer Lakes, reported by snowmobilers

A group of four was camped overnight in a remote riverside campground. About 3 a.m. the witness, sleeping in a vehicle, woke to rustling and watched a large dark figure hunched over the picnic table going through bags and trash from about 15 feet away. Companions in tents heard rustling and grunting. In the morning there was no scattered trash, but a charcoal bag showed marks and some contents missing.

November 2016 Oscoda, Iosco County, Michigan Class B #59333

Resident's sighting three miles north of Wurtsmith Air Force Base

Late at night the witness was returning from taking trash to the dumpster when he saw a tall brownish upright figure moving away from his open garage toward his camper. He lit its upper body with a flashlight and watched it glide silently behind the camper and then into the thick woods without a sound. He retrieved a rifle and searched the woods but found the terrain difficult to cross and found no tracks. A neighbor suggested a bear on its hind legs, but the witness felt the thin human-like form and silent movement did not fit.

Possible daylight sighting by a bicyclist on the General James A. Van Fleet State Trail

The witness thought they looked like Bigfoots but considered a hoax or soldiers as possible explanations, and noted a large military helicopter flew overhead just after.

Golfers watch large animal jump from a tree outside Tallulah Falls

Two companions playing golf drove up to the 17th green in the afternoon and saw a tan, 6-foot animal leap outward from a high tree branch nearby. It landed hard with a loud thud that shook the tree and moved into low undergrowth, where it was heard taking a few steps before stopping and staying hidden. The witnesses felt it was too large, heavy, and tailless to be a mountain lion or bear and suggested it could have been a juvenile Sasquatch.

Possible brief sighting by a motorist outside Mountain Iron

The witness was driving east on Highway 169 toward Virginia on a bright Sunday morning when she spotted a large silvery-gray furry creature on a hilltop clearing north of the westbound lanes. The creature walked west toward the woods with a swaggered gait, long strides, swinging long arms and a slightly forward-bent posture, showing a conical head with little or no neck. After a few seconds median trees blocked the view, and the witness continued without turning back. A car stopped on the opposite side appeared to be watching the same thing.

April 2005 Edmonton, Alberta Class A #12001

Daylight sighting by motorist outside Edmonton, on Highway 16 near Stony Plain

The witness was driving toward Edmonton with a relative passenger in late morning drizzle when a chimp-sized brown animal emerged from roadside brush. It crossed open ground and the divided highway from right to left in front of the vehicle and disappeared into brush on the far side, observed in profile running on all fours. The witness emphasized folded hands rather than bear paws, a small head with no snout, no visible ears or tail, and speed greater than a bear cub, and questioned whether it could have been a young sasquatch.
