A group of three mountain bikers reportedly saw
a reptilian humanoid last week in the middle of a trail located in the
Sonoran desert. The bicyclists were riding the 24 Hours in the Old
Pueblo race course, a 17 mile trail, when they spotted the creature.
“It’s a tough one,” said G. Johnson, 34, a
self-described businessperson from Tucson. “It is a 24 hour track, so
you better come prepared with more than enough food and water. There are
times you just wanna go back and wish you had never got there in the
first place. But when you see what nature has to offer you here…well,
those regrets dissipate rather quickly.”
Johnson states that he and two other friends
were half way into the track when something “terrifying” made the group
consider cancelling the ride.
“We had been riding for about… I don’t know maybe nine hours, taking
breaks every now and then. Then Michael says he needs to stop for a
minute. We are waiting for him to finish when all of a sudden we see
this long figure walking across the trail. He is maybe about 6-foot
tall, very very skinny, and it had an awkward gait, like a monkey…or a
man with a disease, almost robotic, kind of,” he told Cryptozoology
News.
According to the eyewitness, two of the men were
watching the strange animal while the third one, Michael, was unaware of
what was happening. “Then all I remember about Michael is him saying
what the hell is that? Or something like that. But he sounded far away.
He probably used a different word instead of hell. Thing is, we had
somehow walked a little towards the thing. Don’t ask me why…maybe to
look at it better, not knowing what it was.”
Then, Johnson says, the creature “heard Michael
speak” and, apparently taking notice of the “intruders”, its head took
an eerie 280 degree turn. “He stopped and it made eye contact with me
and I could see him clearly. The eyes were kind of like a snake’s, but
black and with a yellow stripe in the middle of the eye. It had green
and red scales on the face and head. The red color was kind of like the
same as the desert sand there, and it looked like it had a sandy texture
too. It didn’t have a nose, only two holes on it. I couldn’t see any
ears or hair. A red mouth that looked like it had blood around it, but
it didn’t look like it was bleeding, it looked like a pattern. It
reminded me of a chameleon, but it looked like a person too.”
Public Domain Allegedly, the creature raised its “long arms with
strange looking claws that looked like a branch full of thorns” and
waved at them, emitting a loud chattering sound with its teeth. Then it
rapidly ran away, in a fashion that reminded the witness of “a lizard
trying to hide.” “He looked like he was examining us and then he ran
into the desert. We thought about going back the same way we came, but
we thought it didn’t matter, since we were in the middle of the track
anyway. We were scared, to be honest. None of us had ever seen anything
like it. It lasted only a few seconds, but it felt longer than that, at
least to me. So after we talked about it for a while, we decided to go
on and finish the track.”
Johnson believes that what they saw was real and
not a product of their imagination. “When you read these stories online
or watch them on TV, well, you think man these people are crazy, on meds
or something or in need of attention, but this has made me a believer.
There has to be more of them out there. If there’s one, there’s gotta be
two at least right? I know most people won’t believe a word I said,
that’s the way I used to be. I don’t blame them at all. But they are out
there. Now I’m not saying this is an alien or a chupacabra or anything
like it, all I’m saying is I have never seen anything like it in my
life. But I am no biologist so what do I know.”
