Incident #1001035
Eugene, Lane Cty, Oregon
Jun 1972
Account
Bert Schluckebier was one of a group of motorcyclists heading for the top of Mount Nebo, an old volcanic peak 3400 feet high. Taking a break at noon, half a mile from the peak, one of them noticed a black object near the summit. They decided it must be a stump, but when they returned to their cycles it walked upright out of sight.
