Incident #991467
Delaware, Nowata Cty, Oklahoma
Sep 1975
Account
Marion Parret saw the creature several times and three times shot at it with a 30-30. A Vietnam veteran, he is sure he hit it, but the only effect was that on one occasion it swatted at its arm "as if brushing away a mosquito". The first time he saw it, it "poked its face in the window above the door. It looked like someone's face shaved high on the cheekbone."
