A San Antonio, Texas resident contacted me about an anomalous winged creature sighting that he had in his backyard about a year ago. The description is similar to others I have received.
I received the following account:
“My story is pretty crazy. I live in San Antonio, Texas. One night in June 2021 I heard my dogs going crazy. Three Pitbulls barking a lot more than usual. So I step outside. They're looking up towards the sky. I see something flying over my house. Really big. I tripped out. I thought it was a super big owl or something so I went inside and my dogs started going crazy again. So I go outside again, with my flashlight, and this time, they're barking towards the dark corner of my backyard. So I'm trying to flash my light over but I can't see anything. I hear movement. Something really big. I tried throwing a rock over there but nothing. It freaked me out. Finally, after about 30 minutes, the dogs stopped barking.
So, about a month goes by and I'm in my backyard again, but during the late afternoon. In my yard, I just looked up, gazing at what I heard, a noise up above the trees. I swear I saw something really big, like flying by to where the wingspan on this creature had to have been at least 12 feet wide. The strange thing is, that every time it flapped its wings, you could hear a whooshing sound. It was so big I could not believe my eyes. I tried to take a photo on my phone but I could not focus on it.
I went online and searched. It wasn't similar to any of the reports posted. Not a pterodactyl, Mothman, or Thunderbird. The wing shape was bat-like, but strangely different, more like a Gargoyle. The color of the creature was grayish, almost steel-blue. No feathers, it seemed hairless. The head was small, and no facial features were seen. It made no sound while flying, other than the whooshing when flapping the wings.
I recently talked to an ornithologist at the San Antonio Zoo, but he just brushed it off as a misidentification. I asked him if there was anything that big flying around south Texas. He just shrugged his shoulders and said, 'No'.
I have written to several people, including a few cryptozoologists, but no one has gotten back to me. That was one of the craziest things that ever happened to me.” JQ
NOTE: South Texas is well-known for cryptid sightings, including winged creatures. I don't have any idea of what JQ witnessed, but there have been several similar unexplained winged creature sightings in recent years in Texas and the Southwestern US. Lon
