A man in Colorado claims he saw a creature that looked like a mix between a human and a dog.

The man, whose name wasn’t provided, said on MUFON that he was driving home from work after picking up his dog when he encountered the strange being in October.

He explains that he noticed the dog getting anxious so he pulled over to let her out.

“She wouldn’t do her business. She started barking. At first I thought she was barking at the traffic, but there was no traffic,” the Boulder, Colorado man said about the alleged encounter.

That’s when he says he noticed five lights hovering in the distance.

“I quickly put the dog in the car and went to investigate,” he added. “The lights rose higher and then got smaller and zig zagged.”

Then, he continues, they vanished.

But when he got back to his car, his dog was reportedly terrified.

“I tried comforting her, and that’s when I noticed something moving in the corner of my eye. I looked up and saw something running behind my car, through the taillights.”

The man described the creature as having red fur and a tail, but, he adds, “it also had a human face”.

“It is hard to describe.”

The eyewitness goes on to say that the dog was still terrified when they arrived home and wouldn’t leave the car.

“I had a few nightmares after that,” he said.
