Incident #992909
Upland, Clay Cty, Kansas
1980
Account
Motocross biking on dirt road near the Southwest shore of Milford Lake, Kenny and informant topped a hill and saw 75 yards away at the bottom an 8-foot, broad, very dark creature with no neck and a large head. They looked at each other and when they looked back it was gone, either among hay bales in a field on one side of the road or into dense brush along the lakeshore on the other. Two weeks later they checked a tree it had been standing by and determined it was 2.5 feet taller than Kenny, 5'7".
