A northern Frederick County, Maryland resident recalls their sighting of a 'Glimmer Man' in the trees behind their home. They only saw it once, but it made a lasting impression on them.

I received the following account:

"I've been reading about the 'Glimmer Man' phenomenon and its similarity to the cloaked alien in the Predator film series. I saw something very similar a few years ago!

It was probably about 4 years ago. I lived in the very northern part of Frederick County, Maryland, near Thurmont, not too far south of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Behind my house was a few acres of woods with a small creek right past the tree line (we had about 2 acres of lawn before the woods started). This area of Frederick County is very rural, with lots of forests and farms, very near Cunningham Falls State Park, a huge wooded area with lakes and the tallest waterfall in the state. In fact, Camp David is located in the area.

Anyway, I was sitting on my 2nd story back deck and noticed movement in the tree line. It was a nice day, I think early fall, it was not a hot day and not raining. I saw the outline of something big moving perpendicular away from me in the woods. It was a shimmer, like heat waves, completely invisible except you can see the air being displaced, and made me think of the Predator right away because it was just like heat waves rising from a hot surface. It seemed to be a humanoid shape in that it was taller than wide, like a tall, fit, bipedal outline. It was hard to judge the height from my perspective and the distance, but it was taller than the average man, probably about 10 feet tall at least. I never heard of someone else seeing something similar before!

I only saw it once, and that was enough for me." A
