Couple outside car at 11 p.m. saw large biped appear under security light, crouched over. It stood up, looked at them, stepped over a fence and disappeared in a field. Horses in nearby field spooked and ran. Next morning, after rain, were indistince impressions in dirt. Libke taped an interview with male witness at the time, and re-interviewed him 10 years later, story unchanged.
