π Description
A daytime Bigfoot sighting in Central Pennsylvania near Bellefonte was reported on October 4, 2025, around 5:30 PM along Interstate 80. According to BFRO investigators and multiple witnesses, a dark, upright figure with a distinct head and shoulders crossed the westbound highway, moving swiftly in a gliding motion and crossing all four lanes in roughly three seconds before vanishing into the woods. The primary witness, described as a retired civil engineer and Air Force veteran, was following another vehicle by about 150β160 yards at the time. Two additional witnesses corroborated seeing something unusual that day. The BFRO called the account sincere and credible and classified it as a Class A sighting, though there has been no official confirmation of a Sasquatch and no physical evidence has been released. The incident occurred about 11.5 miles from Bald Eagle State Park, in Centre County, near a forested ridgeline connected to Nittany Mountain. The case remains under investigation with media attention but no formal government or scientific confirmation at this time.
