The witness contacted me on Friday, July 17,2026. The following is a transcription of the phone conversation we had related to what he saw and what happened.

"It was solid black. Long tail, almost dragging on the ground. I would guess it probably weighed 40 maybe 50 pounds. Not fat, just large, well proportioned. It held its head low, like it was getting ready to pounce on something. I called one of my friends over and his immediate comment when he saw it was "What the hell is that?". I watched it for a few seconds and told him to keep an eye on it while I went to get my camera. "

"Was only gone a few seconds and came back after getting my camera out. As soon as I started back to where (my friend) was watching, the cat ran behind a pile of cement blocks on the edge of the field and was out of sight. By now some of my other guests had also came up to see the cat and several of them also got a good look at it. I told my friends to sneak around the other side of the pile of blocks and try to chase it out while I had my camera ready to catch it when it came out on my side of the block pile. They did so and as they approached the pile they saw nothing. Meantime I saw nothing come out. We had the entire back side of the block pile in sight and there was nothing there at all. Just grass and a couple small sumac trees. The cat was gone. Completely. And it did not run off into the field. Ordinarily the hay in the field would have been high enough a cat might sneak through, but in this case they cut the hay Monday and the grass was only about 3 inches high. No way that cat could get away withut being seen".

I asked about whether it might have been a bobcat. His response:

"No way in hell. I know what a bobcat looks like. First of all the ears were short and sort of laid back on its head. The other thing was the tail. Bobcats have short tails. This thing had a long black tail that drug behind it. Not only that, most bobcats have a pattern on their body. This thing was black, solid black."

When asked for a better description of the "Block Pile". His response:

"Block Pile might be overdoing it a bit. It was only about 15 or so 8 inch cement blocks left over from a project. It was hardly big enough to hide an animal that size, let alone give it room to go anywhere or hardly turn around. There was no fence line or anything else the cat could follow since the field itself goes right up to my yard."

The witness said they all kept an eye out for it, but they continued their cookout and finally turned off the lights and left about midnight. No more evidence of the cat.

A follow-up call on July 23 was made. The witness nor anyone he talked with who was there reported anything else unusual after seeing the cat. He did say that he keeps his camera close by and if he gets a picture he will let me know.

The object was seen by the witness who had gone upstairs to a spare room to get a book from a collection he has there. He planned on doing some reading before going out to take care of other business. The room is on the second floor of his house facing the back. It is unheated as he is living on the first floor. The door was shut to conserve heat in the rest of the house. What happened next is from his testimony of the event.
