Ireland

The driver and passenger of the vehicle were driving at 50mph between Ennis and Limerick when they both witnessed the appearance of a large frightening glowing APE-like creature. 

They were driving along an unlit stretch of road on a clear starry night when a passenger first saw the lights of an eight-foot (2.4 m) glowing figure. He seemed to be teetering on the very edge of the roadside. 

His big furry head seemed to protrude as he stood shoulder-straight. The outline of its long thin body was spidery and hairy; it was a gray-green color. His clothing was a tattered gray cloth that hung very loosely, and it was covered with lines of embedded lights on his limbs and torso. The figure stood with its hands below its knees. 

They noticed that each of its long upper limbs had two separate forearms at the end, almost like claws. The witness was extremely frightened by this, which caused him to duck. He couldn't talk to the driver at all. 

The next day, he missed work due to the effects of the shock. 

When he returned, the driver had already told his colleagues about the strange incident and called this observation the true reason for his absence, which at the time greatly confused him.

Original news

Location. Clare Castle, County Clare, Ireland
Date: winter 1976
Time: night
The driver and passenger of a vehicle were in a car traveling at 50mph between Ennis and Limerick when both witnesses a large and frightening luminous ape-like creature. They were driving along an unlit section of the road on a clear starry night when the passenger first saw the lights of the eight-foot tall luminous figure. He appeared to be balanced on the very edge of the curb. His large furry head seemed to project forward as he stood shoulders upright. The outline of his long thin body was spidery and hairy; it was green-gray in color. His clothes were a shabby gray fabric that hung very loose fitting, and they were covered with lines of embedded lights in both the limbs and trunk. The figure stood there with his hands reaching well below his knees. They noticed that each of his long upper limbs appeared to have two separate forearms on the end, almost like claws. The witness was extremely frightened by this, the effect of which caused him to duck down. He was quite unable to speak to the driver. The next day he missed work due to the after-effects of his shock. When he returned the driver had already spoken of the strange incident to his colleagues and revealed this sighting to be the true reason for his absence, which greatly embarrassed him at the time.
