He was traveling north on K 7/US 73 on the western edge of Kansas City on February 10, 2015. As he reached the Leavenworth/Wyandotte County line when a very large "animal" darted across the road in front of his car. He was in the passing lane going between 65 and 70 miles an hour when the creature ran at a diagonal angle going east to west. Unable to stop the car due to a vehicle following behind, he was only able to catch a quick glimpse of the creature as he drove past. The headlights did light up the creature though.
The creature ran on two feet, which eliminated the possibility of it being a large horse or elk. The tail bone of it was about even to the middle of the driver's side window of the witness's Ford Focus. With that information, he estimated the height at around 9 feet, weight between 600-700 lbs. Although passing within six feet of the creature, the witness was unable to see either the face or upper part of the body. He was able to see only the rear side of it.
The hair looked to be around 2-3 inches long and was "flapping" as it ran. The color seemed to be "darker than tan, but lighter than brown". The witness described it as more of a "dirty blond". He was struck by the color and the texture of the hair. The hair appeared to also have some "wave" to it, not just lying flat.
The area where the sighting took place was then a rural area with some ponds and a few creeks running through it. Surrounding farmland and fields also contained stretches of wooded areas, which also supported a substantial deer population and wild turkeys.
