Initial data
I was just relaxing in my house and watching TV. We have double sliding doors with windows facing the backyard, and I can see outside from where I was lying on the couch. That's when something started moving in the corner of my vision.
When I looked back, I noticed that our 10-foot (3m) dogwood at the very end bordering our yard from the neighbors was shaking violently. I couldn't understand what kind of animal, other than a human, could shake an entire tree like that. I got up and went to the window to look out.
There were some very large pines growing along the back yard, and I couldn't see anything through the thick foliage, although the sun was shining brightly in the sky. The dogwood continued to shake, and then, to my surprise, a huge gray creature leaped from one of the fragile branches of the dogwood to a nearby huge pine tree.
I didn't see it for more than three seconds, but I definitely got a good look at it, and it wasn't like anything I'd ever seen. The creature was quite large, about 4 feet (1.2 m) long and about the size of a fox. It was all gray, except for a long, skinny tail with black and white stripes, like a lemur from Madagascar. Its front end was slightly lowered, as if it had short forelegs and large powerful hind legs, like a kangaroo. It was the strangest thing I'd ever seen.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get a look at his head as it quickly disappeared into the pine tree. A few minutes later I was outside, rummaging through the leaves and tall grass at the end of the yard, looking for footprints and possibly to see this creature, but I found nothing. But I know what I saw.
I live in York, Pennsylvania, and such creatures do not live here. If I had to call it a specific animal, I would say that it is a lemur, but the tail is not thick, but very thin and mobile, like a cat. I wish I'd taken a picture.
I haven't seen it since that day, but at night there have been strange scratching sounds under my bedroom window since I saw this creature, and I wonder if they are related or if this is another incident that happened to happen at the same time period.

Summary: I was just relaxing in my house and watching some TV. We have double sliding doors with windows facing our backyard, and I can see outside from where I was lounging on the couch. That’s when something began moving in the corner of my vision. When I glanced over, I noticed our 10-foot-high dogwood tree on the very end bordering our yard from the neighbors was shaking violently. I couldn’t figure out what kind of animal, aside from a human, could shake an entire tree like that. I stood up and walked over to the window to peer out. There are also several extremely large pine trees bordering along the end of the backyard and I couldn’t see anything through the thick foliage, even though the sun was shining brightly in the sky. The dogwood continued to shake, and then to my astonishment an enormous gray creature jumped from one of the dogwood’s flimsy branches and into a huge pine nearby.
I only glimpsed it for about three seconds at most, but I definitely got a good look at it, and it was like nothing I have ever seen before. The creature was rather large, perhaps around 4 feet in length and about the size of a fox. It was all gray except for its long skinny tail that had black and white stripes along it, like those lemurs from Madagascar. Its front end was somewhat slouched down, as if it had short front legs and large powerful back legs, like how a kangaroo would look. It was the weirdest creature I had ever seen. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a look at its head as it quickly vanished into the pine. A few minutes later, I was outside rooting through the leaves and long grass at the end of the yard looking for footprints and maybe to catch a sighting of the creature, but I didn’t find anything. Yet I know what I saw. I live in York, Pennsylvania, and such creatures like that don’t live in this area. If I absolutely had to call it a specific animal, I would say it was a lemur, but the tail wasn’t bushy, but very slender and agile like a cat’s. Wish I had taken a picture. I haven’t seen it since that day, but there have been weird scratching noises below my bedroom window at night ever since I saw the creature and I wonder if the two are related or if its another incident that coincidentally just happened in the same time period. And I wonder if I should report the sighting. If I should, who do I report to?
