Initial data
Lee Nigro was driving along a dark road near an area that was fairly well wooded. He was accompanied by his friend Churcho in the passenger seat when they noticed what Lee at first took to be a tall man standing in the middle of the road a few yards ahead, apparently indifferent to the fact that the car was moving towards him.
Lee seemed to be honking frantically, as he thought he had the right to pass, but still this " man " showed no interest in moving from his dangerous spot in the middle of the road. As a result, Lee, who was known to be very tough and serious when the situation called for it, had to swerve out of the way on the road so that he wouldn't hit this "person", and as a result could very well get into a serious accident.
Angry at the man for the near-crash, Li Nigro got out of the car to angrily confront the man, only to realize to his horror and to the horror of his passenger, who could now fully see the figure illuminated by the headlights of the stopped car, that he had not encountered a human being at all.
When asked what he looked like, he replied: like an alligator, but he insisted that he stood on two legs like a human.
Lee Nigro very explicitly stated that the humanoid encountered had reptilian features, rather than the much more "familiar" hairy hominid or APE-like type of creature.
He never used the word Bigfoot to describe it, instead insisting that the creature he saw looked like something resembling a humanoid alligator with scaly, hairless reptilian skin. Unfortunately, it wasn't confirmed whether the creature's hairless skin was green or some other shade.
While passenger Lee Nigro panicked and claimed that he tried to hide under the car's dashboard, Nigro quickly grabbed a baseball bat that he kept handy in the car if necessary and hit the creature with it, only to find that it had no effect at all. After Lee Nigro hit the creature with the bat, it knocked the weapon out of his hand, and he wisely rushed into the car, closed the door, hurriedly started the car again, and pressed the accelerator.
As soon as it drove, the cryptid reptile apparently jumped on the hood of the car, then just as quickly jumped off again as the car started to move forward. Then it crashed into the nearest trees on the side of the road and disappeared from view as Lee Nigro sped away.

Summary: Lee Nigro was driving along a dark road near an area that is fairly well wooded. He was accompanied by his friend Churcho in the passenger seat when they spotted what Lee at first took to be a tall man standing in the middle of the road several yards ahead, apparently indifferent to the fact that a vehicle was moving towards “him”. Lee supposedly blared the horn frantically, since he believed he had the right of way, but still this “man” showed no interest in budging from “his” precarious spot in the middle of the road. As a result, Lee—who was known as being very tough and no-nonsense when the situation called for it—had to swerve his car aside in the road so that he didn’t hit this “man,” and could very well have had a serious accident as a result. Incensed at this individual for the near disaster, Lee Nigro got out of the car to angrily confront the man, only to realize to his horror—and that of his passenger, who could now fully see the figure illuminated in the headlights of the stopped car—that he was not confronting a human being at all. When asked what it looked like he answered, “Like an alligator” but he insisted that it stood on two feet like a man. Lee Nigro very explicitly claimed that the encountered humanoid had reptilian features and not the far more ‘familiar’ hairy hominid or ape-like type of creature. He never used the word Bigfoot to describe it, instead he insisted the creature he saw looked like something akin to a humanoid alligator with scaly, hairless reptilian skin. Unfortunately it was not confirmed if the creature’s hairless skin was green or some other hue. Then came the final part of the confrontation. While Lee Nigro’s passenger panicked and claimed that he tried to hide under the dashboard of the car, Nigro quickly grabbed a baseball bat he kept handy in the car if needed and struck the creature with it—only to find it had no effect whatsoever. After Lee Nigro struck the creature with the bat, it knocked the weapon out of his hand, and he wisely rushed into the car, shut the door, hastily started the vehicle up again, and hit the accelerator. Just as he took off, the reptilian cryptid apparently leaped on the hood of the car, then just as quickly leaped off again as the vehicle started moving forward. It then ran into the nearby trees on the side of the road, disappearing from sight even as Lee Nigro hightailed it out of the area.
