Saw it. The detail about the truck being 11 miles off his expected route with no memory of the journey is what got me. That's not a microsleep situation, that's not a blackout from fatigue. The GPS log showing the vehicle stationary for 47 minutes in a field with zero ignition activity while the engine was somehow still warm - that bit doesn't get talked about enough in the coverage I've seen.
Missing time cases from lone drivers on long haul routes are genuinely underreported because who are they going to tell. Their company? Their wife? There's a massive selection bias in what actually reaches forums like this one.
Anyone with contacts closer to the Montana area heard anything local about this? Sometimes the regional weirdness around a site tells you more than the incident report itself. I've found that with a few of the Mothman-adjacent cases I've dug into over the years - theres always something in the surrounding area that the headline account doesn't capture.
