Geographical Index > United States > Iowa > Decatur County > Report # 1554 Report # 1554 (Class A) Submitted by witness R.A. on Wednesday, January 31, 2001. Multiple witness road-crossing sighting near Nine Eagles State Park (Show Printer-friendly Version) YEAR: 2000 SEASON: Summer MONTH: June STATE: Iowa COUNTY: Decatur County LOCATION DETAILS: On one of the hair pin curves on J66, near the wooded area. A lot of farm land in this vicinity, as well as the park, Nine Eagles State Park. NEAREST TOWN: Davis City NEAREST ROAD: J66, now Dale Miller Road, and Highway 69 OBSERVED: Driving home one night from a ball game, with my daughter and her friend, I saw something crossing the road. My lights were on high-beam, and I was driving slowly because there are enough wild animals in the area to jump out of no where and they end up getting killed. Just something large, shiny, black, furry, walking across quickly....I knew it wasn't a cow as cows don't normally walk upright and I've seen enough cows on the road to know that normally I have to stop, but I didn't need to stop for this one. ALSO NOTICED: No. OTHER WITNESSES: Only myself. My daughter and her friend were in the car, but didn't see anything as I didn't mention it to them and put it out of my mind. ENVIRONMENT: Yes, there are creeks in the area, woods and hills. Farmland.
