Account
Todd Alexander, Little Eagle, SD, and Clark and Paul Lofgren, McLaughlin, SD, all university students, walking home along a ridge near Grand River after their jeep stalled on a hunting trip, saw black object about 9 feet tall near a construction made of poles. It started moving towards some draws leading to the river, coming closer to the observers, and separated into three individuals, all about the same size. They were walking upright, moving very rapidly, and went down a draw without seeing the observers.
