The Normal, Illinois witness is watching the Taurid meteor shower on the night of 11/10/2015 when he observes an unknown winged being flying above him. Was this a winged humanoid?
Normal, IL - 2015-11-10: I watched some meteor showers, so I was watching for the Taurid fireballs. Turned out the lights in the house so it would be dark, went to see if anything was happening, stood there, waited for about five or ten minutes, and saw my first fireball.
Knowing this would be a good night I set myself up with an Adirondack chair with a soft drink, and blanket cushion, for a lengthy stay. Saw one or two small ones, about to lose interest, while facing north I could barely make out something coming straight at me about 30 degrees off the horizon. It had no lights, made no noise, seem to be gliding. Couldn't make out what it was, but looked to be about 20 feet across which I thought to look like something hanging down underneath.
Not knowing what it was or what to expect, I started to get a better look at this thing but my mind and eyes wouldn't let me accept what I was seeing. It glided straight over my porch with the roof, so I jumped up and ran to the south end of the porch. Waiting for it to come on over there it was. It looked to be 1 or 2 hundred feet above me. I watched it glide out of sight. I do some flying, Cessna, and can judge pretty well how high something is and by judging with that if it were a plane I could have read the numbers on a plane. I could see it! It seemed to adjust for gliding but had no known propulsion. Stayed even keel, same elevation, same speed, same direction.
First I said pterodactyl? But no visible head, letting my head accept what I saw. It seemed to be some sort of entity. And by searching the internet I came across 'Mothman.' With what I thought were light-colored bags hanging down. Now I'm thinking of legs hanging down. With dark brown wings. But enough about what I think, there you go. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. - MUFON CMS
NOTE: This account was in my archives, but I failed to make a possible connection with a winged humanoid. Could this sighting be connected to the Chicago Mothman phenomenon? Lon
