Incident #1001161
Missoula, Missoula Cty, Montana
Oct 1976
Account
R. K. Sixbey and two friends looked down from the edge of a small mountain West of Missoula onto a road where a very tall figure covered with hair was standing looking towards them. They watched about two minutes, then a pickup came up the road and the creature jumped into a grove of willows at the roadside. No distance from Missoula given, but letter says the site was less than a mile from Greg's home, which was not far from Missoula.
