Mike Skinner was driving home from work on the A435 when he noticed what he thought were two poles with a bag draped over them, set up on the side of the road 150 yards ahead. He estimated the total height of the "pillars" at 4 or 5 feet (1.2-1.5 m). 

As his car approached, he was surprised to see what he thought was a bag fall to the ground and start moving along the edge of the grass on the side of the road. 

He slowed the car to get a better look at the creature, but it lurked in the tall grass, and he could only describe it as a large tan-colored" animal " with large pointed ears.

Mike Skinner was driving home from work along the A435 when he spotted what he thought was two poles with a sack draped over the top placed at the side of the road 150 yards ahead. He estimated the overall height of the “posts” to be 4 or 5 feet. As his car approached he was surprised to see what he had assumed to be the sack drop to the ground and start to move along the grass verge at the side of the road. He slowed his car down to get a better view of the creature, but it crouched down in the long grass and he was only able to describe it as a large “animal” tan in color with large pointed ears.
