A Modesto, California resident was outside in his neighborhood at night when he saw a large winged creature on the neighbor's roof. The leathery wings were just unfurling and looked to be 5 feet in length.
I received the following account:
"I live in the Modesto, California area, and surrounded by orchards of all types. Around my neighborhood, I've seen bats, lizards, sparrows, and ducks. I guess this is all background information.
Anyway, one night in spring 2022 around 10 pm I skated over to the park around the corner before I went to bed. As I was heading back home on my board in the middle of the street I heard some large gusts of wind, but it was a still, quiet night. I look up in the direction of the sound and behind the slope of my neighbor's roof I see two large wings flap and then begin to fold, as if the creature had just landed there. The bat-like wings were unfurling, but I'd guess they were about 5 feet in length, and I noticed that the house light from behind the creature trickled through the wings, they were opaque and leathery, not feathered like a hawk. It seemed to have heard me as I was passing and it became still, wings folded and rising over its circular head. It had no ears or horns, or anything protruding from its head, it was just round. I couldn't see much more as the light was behind the creature, so it was a black silhouette but the leather on its wings was brown.
I pulled out my phone and tried to use the flashlight setting to get a better view of it as I was passing, but the light didn't reach far enough and the creature slowly started to descend behind the slope of the roof until I no longer saw it. I ran into my home and just laid in bed thinking about what the hell I had just seen. It was too big to be a bat, I've seen bats around here and they're all small, and their head is shaped nothing like what I had seen. It couldn't have been a bird either as I distinctly remember the wings being leathery, with no feathers?
Have you heard of anything similar to this being seen the the Central Valley area of California? C
NOTE: I have received dragon sightings in the Central Valley, and a few other Pterosaur-like reports. Lon
