It wasn't by just anyone ambling through the woods and it wasn't just a fleeting glimps. I have more confidence in that sighting than I do of the video in Arkansas.<br /><br />I sure hope one turns up for real somewhere.omegaman66https://www.blogger.com/profile/05279638697205766258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15194226.post-73839302343814089522011-05-02T07:38:01.665-06:002011-05-02T07:38:01.665-06:00Thanks for the expert opinion.
