Man watches a bigfoot in his headlights near Flaming Gorge

The witness was driving at night on a mountain pass when headlights caught eye reflections high off the ground. The witness stopped, backed up to illuminate an animal standing near the road, initially thinking it was a bear but concluding it was not based on its hair and walk. The animal stayed calm and walked slowly into the trees, covering ground quickly despite the truck noise. The witness left without approaching and later searches for tracks were unsuccessful.

Truck driver swerves to miss a bigfoot crossing I-15 near Scipio

A truck driver hauling potatoes south on I-15 at night drove into fog and saw eyeshine beside the road. When he switched to bright lights, he saw a large hairy biped striding across the freeway from left to right about 20 feet away. He swerved to miss it, regained control, pulled over briefly while shaken, then drove on and called relatives to report the incident.

Fall 1968 Wheeler, Weber County, Utah Class A #2347

Witness observes a pair of glowing red eyes looking in the window.

In the fall of 1968, the witness was home late at night watching television while a small child slept in another room. After getting up, the witness saw glowing red eyes and a dark outlined shape in the window behind the chair. The witness waited, then called law enforcement to report a prowler and while waiting heard windows and the back door rattle softly. Deputies arrived much later and remarked the figure must have been fairly tall, and no tracks were found the next day because of leaves.
