Account
George Burns, taking aerial photos near Nelagony, 40 miles S.W. of Noxie, (neither is on modern road map, Nelagony is in old encyclopedia) made a forced landing in an isolated area. Walking out he thought he saw a man, waved and yelled but the man ran into woods. Burns walked another 600 yards, then saw standing 10 yards from him a 7-foot apelike creature with glowing green eyes, a large head and massive arms. He smelled a stale odour. He took a picture of it.
