It had a large round head. An egg shaped UFO was also seen at the same time. This occurred during a thunderstorm. Imprints were later found at the site.

Albert Rosales indicates that the source is Webb in 1973, The Year of The Humanoids.

[Ref. dj1:] DONALD JOHNSON:

Points to consider:

With such blatantly insufficient information, any explanation is as good as another. It could have been, for example, a bear in the night, not clearly seen, hence the hairy creature, and its stiff walk, hence a "robot."
