In September 2005, a couple decided to drive up to Covered Bridge Canyon near the southeast corner of Maple Mountain in Utah to look at fall leaves. After viewing the other side of the canyon for a bit, the husband and wife started to feel like they were being watched. When the two got back into their jeep, the husband saw a "big fast black hairy object" in the corner of his eye. The man looked up at his wife and the woman was frozen. She told her husband she was watching this creature the whole time while she was sitting in the jeep.
According to the witnesses, they said that it was squatting before it ran. The husband said that even while it was running it remained squatted down, making it appear to be only three or four feet high though he could tell it was actually taller than that.
Here's the report from the BFRO's website:
