Incident #1000314
Coose Bay (Eastside), Coos Cty, Oregon
Sep 1970
Account
Edward Flowers saw from inside his mobile home two large creatures running across the pasture on their hind legs a quarter mile away, a smaller brown one in front of a larger black one. The smaller one had 6-inch long, silver-tipped hair streaming from its calves, neck and head. They ran the quarter mile that they were in his range of vision at a very high speed without slackening.
