Geographical Index > United States > Indiana > Shelby County > Report # 10153 Report # 10153 (Class A) Submitted by witness on Monday, January 3, 2005. Motorist has nighttime sighting of animal in soybean field near Flat Rock (Show Printer-friendly Version) YEAR: 1973 SEASON: Summer STATE: Indiana COUNTY: Shelby County LOCATION DETAILS: Smithland road in southern Shelby county. It was at a ninty degree turn in the road where I think it changed from East to North direction. NEAREST TOWN: Flat Rock NEAREST ROAD: Smithland Road OBSERVED: I was driving home from a girlfriends house in the early hours of the morning on a late summer night. Patches of ground fog were scattered about over the fields. As I drove up to a ninety degree turn in the road my headlight shown on a figure in a bean field that boardered a corn field. The headlights caused the eyes to shine red and I could make out the shape of a large figure. It was standing in an area of the fog and its head and upper body were above the fog. It was as tall as the corn in the field next to it. Since the figure was next to the corn field (standing in the beans) it gave frame of referance for height. It was as tall as the corn which in Indiana at that time of the year is at least seven to eight feet tall. I could not make out facial features or hair because of the fog and the fact that it was at least twenty yards into the field. I turned at the curve and punched the gas. My hair was standing up on my arms and head and it really scared me. I was by myself so I was not about to hang around. I did not tell anyone as I thought that I would be ridiculed. ALSO NOTICED: None OTHER WITNESSES: None OTHER STORIES: None. TIME AND CONDITIONS: 1:00 - 3:00 am Moonlit night. Small patches of fog that where approximately 5-6 feet above the ground. ENVIRONMENT: The area is farmland with rolling hills puncutated with areas of woods and small streams. Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator Stan Courtney:
