SLV-0150

Around nine at night on the fourteenth, in the parking lot at the market on Meridian. I'm not saying it did anything. It was standing by the carts.

It's tall. Taller than the cart return, and I'm five foot four so take that how you want. It had a jacket on, yellow and blue, and an orange bag around its waist. I got one picture and it came out like this, which is not the camera. I checked the camera on my sister the next day and she came out fine.

I'm not trying to scare anybody. My daughter says I should let it go and I probably should. But I've walked that lot for eleven years and I would like to know what I saw.

If you saw it too, or if it belongs to you, please call. I'm not going to make trouble. I just want to know.
