Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator Ron Boles:

I spoke with the witness and she had additional detail to add. She estimated the animal to be approx. 7 ft tall. Wide shoulders and long arms were noticed. The estimated distance between her car and the animal was approx. 70 ft. She observed the animal as it was walking on two legs, exiting the gravel road into the brush. There was still some light on this summer evening as the time of day was right before sundown. Because of the time of day and the briefness of the sighting, I have decided to categorize this report as a Class B.
