A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

As I was heading east along I-25, at approx 2:30 am, in the middle of nothing. About 15 minutes east of Casper, WY, I was in the slow lane, there was a truck approaching me to the rear, he was faster than I, as I can only run 67 mph in a 80 mph. I was on the phone with my co-worker in South Dakota. I was talking through my stereo and just took a sip of my Pepsi and as I was looking up from setting it in my cup holder, I saw a, what looked like/resembled a human, standing either on the road in between the yellow line and the edge of pavement, or just standing off of it by the snow reflectors. It was all the way to the left of the left lane traveling east bound. As I looked up from my cup holder, I see something, looked as to it was standing straight up from bending at the waist, was facing at a 45 drgree angle to me. It was looking SE, I saw the back and then the right side as I passed. When it was almost straight up, its left arm shot up and stayed up, a lot quicker than it stood up. It was not fazed, that I sped by, like deer and antelope are, just kinda looking somewhere, doing something. It was all grey, flat, medium, dull grey. I thought about ppl on stilts, Halloween, etc. . Didn't see the hands to much, but the fist or whatever that shot to the sky looked big and clumpy. What I described to my co-worker on the phone as, was a really tall Statue of Liberty. Saw the left hand/arm, looked like was holding something, but clumpy and blurry from my speed. I got the worst hair raising chills ever, in my life. They were pulsing and in waves with every hair on my body standing up for about ten minutes. And that's just not me, I prey for zombies, but this scared the crap out of me. As I was approaching the first turnaround, I told him I was going to take it. He talked me out of it, and past the next 2 turnarounds. The truck that was fast approaching me from the rear, over the next hill I saw that he was about 3-4 miles behind me i! nstead of 1. He musta slowed down, these trucks take for ever to stop. When I got back to my baker dock that morning, I stood next to my drivers door. I'm 5'10" and the bottom of my semi's window is over 6'. I saw the 'Grey' then, and to see his shoulders and head as I passed, taken in corporate for height and distance, ten feet to left of my truck, it had to be 7' + tall. It looked like the Liberty Tax ppl that stand outside of the shop on tax season with their arm in the air. With the foam hat and all waving their sign. Again, this all happened in a matter of seconds. I got talked out of turning around, as per company, we are only 'allowed' to carry knives. But if it was a split second sooner, I coulde of stuffed my brakes and recorded the previous 11 seconds to the following 11 seconds and had it recorded. I did not see any overturned cars in the median or off to any side, that night or the following nights, as this is my current nightly route. There is quite a few more dead animals than normal with in maybe 2 miles both ways on the eastbound lanes than normal, but it is hi tins session.

For about the first 30 minutes of them following us we both thought that they were drones. But as they kept following us we both changed our minds. They followed us for hours and for over 80 miles. I don't believe drones go that distance or as high as some of them went.

Along the North Platte River, off of Trappers Route,on a clear night, a very bright glowing lime-green orb appeared in the sky, moving quickly above the river a short distance from where we were. It was followed by 2 smaller bright white lights. The orb briefly stopped, hovered over the river, causing a "glow" reflection off of the water. After we both were able to focus on the green orb and lights, it quickly sped out of sight. We did not hear any sound coming from it and it was approximately 100 yards away, at the most. We were surrounded by sagebrush and river's edge. There were no trees or nearby light sources. No roads or vehicle access near or where the orb appeared.

I was on my back deck looking up at the stars as I often do. I noticed a cluster of three stars, 1 brighter than the other two. It was a cluster of stars I had not seen before. I looked away to see where the big dipper was in corrolation to this cluster. When I looked back at what I believed to be a three star cluster they were no longer there. I continued to search the sky for the next 10 or so minutes but did not see them again.
