Account
Informant was driving on a country road about 12.30 a.m. when a creature started across the road and stopped in front of his car. He viewed it briefly, then put on bright lights, which appeared to annoy it. The creature came quickly to the car and bumped into it, driving it backwards, then leaned on the hood screaming a high-pitched sound. Informant terrified but finally got the car in reverse and then drove around the creature. Said he saw it for 5 minutes and it was obviously a male. No hair on face and chest, and skin had a greyish tone. Eyes had greenish-yellow glow, face wrinkled with a broad nose. Head pointed, almost no neck, very broad shouldered and muscular. Est. 8 ft. 400 lb.
