Union Creek, Douglas Cty, Oregon
May 1982 to 1983
Account
Witness and son on motorcycle, jumped over top of rise and encountered black-haired biped, over 7 ft. and 350 pounds, standing in the road. Came within five feet, it stared at them, then turned, ran across a small opening and down a very steep bluff. Ran on two legs very smoothly, with long strides. Very muscular. Witness came back with two others and apparently found footprints, which were photogrophed by a TV crew, "great pictures" but no specifics of the footprints are in the report.
