Passengers on a MarkAir Express flight from Togiak to Manokotak told the pilot they had seen what they thought was "a guy walking down in a ravine." Pilot Randy Quinto circled around the area, East of High Summit and it was spotted again, in some bushes by a creek. It was tall "Maybe tall as my house", grayish black with a brown head, and was walking upright. Later Nicholai Alayayak and his son and the Manokotak village public safety officer found 16-inch tracks in snow in a ravine 15 miles from the village.
