Incident #1000789
Fife, Pierce Cty, Washington
Sep 1969
Account
Dick Hancock and Gary Johnson were driving up Fife Heights Drive about 4 a.m. when they saw a huge creature on a lawn. It crossed the road in front of the car, arms swinging high, and one arm hit and bent an aluminum sign 8 feet off the ground. It then plunged down a wooded slope. The sign (collected by Dick Grover) is scratched on the back. It is far too strong for a man to bend. Exact location Fife Heights Drive at 2nd Street Court.
