Road crossing Sangamon County Class B Clear all
July 2011 Springfield, Sangamon County, Illinois Class B #40841

Motorist has possible nighttime sighting just north of Springfield on Veterans Parkway

The witness was driving alone at night when a large bipedal figure was seen crossing the opposite lanes ahead. With bright lights on, the witness described it as tall and massive with long arms and a hunched posture, moving very fast in a few long strides. It was gone by the time the vehicle reached the crossing area, and the face was not seen.

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
