Initial data
The two men were returning from a friend's house along a stretch of country road that they had passed separately many times before. They slowed down for a sharp left turn on the road, and as they turned at about 20 mph, the headlights caught someone moving among the trees on the outside of the turn.
Then the two men caught a glimpse of a "man" of the most bizarre nature. The figure was at least 8 feet (2.4 m) tall, and although their brief observation was difficult to give an accurate estimate, it was clearly larger than usual. It was too quick to notice any features of the face, he was practically looking at the witnesses, but he looked down a little when the light shone on him, and it seemed as if he was walking sideways through something in the undergrowth, as his right leg moved up and to the side.
Another very unusual aspect was that the headlights reflected the bright light of his clothes, which seemed shiny, almost like foil. Stunned, the two men confirmed to each other what they had seen, and after a few moments of indecision, they returned to the turn and aimed their headlights at the trees about where they had seen it, but everything looked normal.
One of the men even got out of the car and called out several times.

Two men were returning back from a friend’s house along a section of country road they had driven individually many times before. They slowed for a tight left hand bend in the road and as they turned, driving at this point at about 20mph the headlights caught someone moving amongst the trees on the outside of the bend. Both men then caught a brief glimpse of a “person” of a most bizarre nature. The figure was at least 8 ft tall, and whilst their brief observation it was hard to make any accurate estimate on that, he was clearly larger than normal. It was too quick to notice any particular facial features, he was virtually facing the witnesses, but looking slightly down as the lights shone on him, and seemed to be stepping sideways over something in the undergrowth, as his right leg was moving upwards and sideways. The other very unusual aspect was that the headlights reflected a large glare of his clothing, which seemed to be shiny, almost like foil. Stunned, both men confirmed to each other what they had seen and after a couple of moments of indecision they reversed back to the bend and point the headlights into the trees approximately were they had seen it but it all appeared normal. One of the men even exited the car and called out several times.
