Witness Account:
Saturday morning, around 2:30 a.m., I saw something in a field in rural Indiana. I was driving and my lights from the car reflected in it's eyes, hence drawing my attention. It was tall but not huge. (6 ft perhaps) It had black leathery skin, some fuzzy hair like an an ape, well muscled biceps and pectoral muscles and abs, it pulled it's shoulders up around it's ears and didn't move. I stared, completely dumbfounded. It looked absolutely solid, a touchable thing.
Physical evidence:
I will go back to the area asap in hopes of seeing it again.
