Incident #1001223
Weiser, Washington Cty, Idaho
Apr 1980
Account
Donald Hepworth was driving on Hwy. 95 approaching Spangler Reservoir, (not on 1:500,000 map) when he saw two dark forms leave the shoulder and enter the highway ahead. He braked and drove slowly within 10 yards of them. They were five foot seven or eight inches tall, one an inch or two taller than the other, slim, covered with short black hair. Heads low set on broad shoulders, skulls sloped up to what looked like the beginning of a sagital crest. Had the impression they might be juveniles. No recollection of facial features. Appeared to be male and female. The smaller one jumped to the top of a 6-foot vertical embankment from a standing start, the other went up in two steps, as easily as a man going upstairs. Either way would be impossible for a human.
