Incident #991052
Galveston, Cass Cty, Indiana
Oct 1973
Account
Jim Mays and John Grey and three others returned where Mays had seen a creature two days before. They saw a sandy-colored, giant, apelike creature standing at the edge of the woods where the thing Mays saw had disappeared. Two witnesses left. The others kept flashlights on the creature, yelled at it and threw rocks, getting no reaction. An approaching car made them move their car and when they came back the creature was gone. Another UFO case. A glowing light had seemed to follow them part way as they approached, and disappeared near a bridge, where they saw the creature.
