Bud Le Duc was driving home from Toppenish when his headlights fell on three men standing by the road. One of them jumped, jumping to the middle of the roadway about 15 feet (4.5 m) away. The jump seemed slow. Then the man slowly raised both hands above his head. 

Le Duc swerved and passed within 2 or 3 feet (0.6-0.9 m) of him. The man was 7-8 feet (2.1-2.4 m) tall and very thin, with long arms and matted shoulder-length reddish hair. His very long face had a long pointed nose and dead-white skin. The upper lip was pulled back to expose the teeth, and the lower lip was very thin. 

He was wearing a solid black outfit with white stripes on his wrists and ankles and a white stripe around his neck, and black shoes. 

The other two men were similarly dressed. The man on the road held "something red and purple with wire"in his left hand. 

Le Duc drove past, but soon after saw an elongated glowing object behind his truck, which flickered and went out several times. Soon after, a bright light illuminated the truck's cab and surrounding area and stayed with the truck until Le Duc reached his home. 

(Other sources (Long) indicate that at the time when Le Duc met strange people on the road, an image of a very close friend who had recently died in a car accident appeared on the passenger seat.)

Original news

Date: December 11 1975
Time: 2330
Bud Le Duc was driving home from Toppenish when his headlights fell on 3 men standing beside the road. One of these jumped in one bound to the middle of the roadway, a distance of about 15 ft; the leap appeared to be in slow motion. The man then slowly raised both arms above his head. Le Duc swerved & passed within 2 or 3 ft of him. The man was 7-8 ft tall and very thin, with long arms & matted reddish shoulder length hair. His very long face had a long pointed nose & dead white skin. The upper lip was pulled back to show the teeth; the lower lip was very thin. He wore a black one-piece garment with white bands at the wrists & ankles and a patch of white at the neck, & black boots. The other 2 men were dressed the same way. The man in the road held in his left hand “something red-purple with a wire on it.” Le Duc drove on past, but shortly afterwards saw an elongated luminous object behind his truck, which blinked on & off several times. Soon afterward, a bright light illuminated the truck cab & its surroundings, and stayed with the truck until Le Duc reached his home. (Other sources (Long) indicate that at the same time that Le Duc encountered the strange men on the road, the image of a very close friend that had been recently killed in a car accident appeared sitting in the passenger seat.)
