Non-human or hybrid as an alien with super-powers; an interdimensional being lasting in our dimension for a short period of time, probably uses a device although you can follow him out of the sight of the camera; a being that can speed up time for himself while everything else slows down or possibly a cloaking device. Anyways, take your pick or ‘all of the above.’ MORE
On April 27, Jeffrey Hunter, 22, knew that a tornado was rapidly moving towards his house in Vilonia, Arkansas.
