16 September 2017 Rochester, Sangamon County, Illinois Class A #58238

Nighttime road crossing between Rochester and East Lake Drive

Around 5 a.m. while driving home from work in the dark, the witness saw a two-legged creature run across the road ahead of the car and into a cornfield near a river. The creature was described as about six to six and a half feet tall, dark dirty black and grey, very muscular, with little visible neck and no clothes. The witness did not see long hair or the face.

The Database of Unexplained Encounters. Claims are recorded as claims: the Anomadex catalogues what people reported, where it was reported, and how sure I am that it was read correctly. It does not rule on what they saw.

A quick ask from the person behind the Anomadex: if you allow analytics, Google Analytics shows me which places, phenomena and searches you're most curious about. That tells me which regions and sources to add next and what to make easier to find. It never sees your name or anything you send me, and nothing is set unless you say yes. Privacy
