BFRO #27676: Possible brief sighting by a motorist outside Mountain Iron

📍 Location

📝 Description

While driving east on hwy 169 (approximately 3 miles out of Virginia, MN.), I saw, looking across 169 heading west to Hibbing, what appeared to be a large, silvery-gray creature in a clearing, just beginning to enter a wooded area. I caught this movement from my peripheral vision from my left (so it was on the other side of 169) where there was a car pulled over on the opposite side apparently watching what I was seeing. Because I was headed to Virginia and there were trees that popped up in the median as I was driving, I only observed this "something" for about 3 seconds or so. It did have a peculiar way that it's arms moved when I saw it walking, and it had a cone-shaped head. After that, the wooded area in the median obscured my vision, but if I would have found a place to make a quick u-turn, I would have turned around to go back and investigate. I sort of talked my self out of believing what I saw because this "something" was not the normal brownish/red color typified of a bigfoot sighting. Perhaps it was one of those new-fangled netting out-fits hunters wear. All I know is I saw something.

🔍 Circumstances

Just myself. My young daughter was in the back seat of the car, but didn't see it. There were some people who were pulled over in a car on the side of the road (headed west on 169) who I believe were observing the same thing I saw.
