Calverton, Prince George's Cty, Maryland

Account
Driving to work at Goddard Space Flight Center in the early morning fog, a NASA engineer saw a huge brown or black hairy creature lumbering along with a dog snapping at its legs. After a short while it reached down with one arm, scooped up the dog and threw it off the Powder Mill overpass down onto I-95. As his car got closer it ran off into the wooded area east of I-95 at a high rate of speed.
