HUGE, DARK & SHADOWY 'WINGED HUMANOID' Recently Observed in San Luis Obispo, CA

"Please let me know if there have been any other reports like this in the San Luis Obispo area, or if you’d like more details. I just want to make sure this is taken seriously."

I recently received the following account:

"Hi. I’m writing to report something extraordinary and unsettling that I experienced in the early hours of April 19, 2025, around 2:30 AM, in San Luis Obispo, California.

I live on the ground floor near the San Luis Obispo Country Club. I was outside my home, on the phone with a friend, when we both suddenly heard a loud, unnatural clicking noise. It was sharp, mechanical, almost like a bomb timer or a distorted insect, unlike anything I’ve heard before in nature or from a machine.

When I looked up into the sky, I saw something that completely froze me in place.

There was a massive winged figure above me. It wasn’t just “big bird” big. It was huge, with an estimated wingspan of 10 feet or more, and its body size was close to that of a human around 6’5” tall. It was circling above me slowly and continued making the clicking noise as it moved. Its body looked dark, almost shadowy, and I couldn’t make out a face, no glowing eyes or defining features. Just the sheer size and the sound overwhelmed everything.

Then, as suddenly as it appeared, it vanished. The clicking stopped mid-air. The sky was empty.

I ran to take cover beneath the entrance to my home, and just as I was catching my breath, I heard a sound in the nearby bushes. I looked, and I saw a tall figure, about 6’5”, standing or crouched in the shadows. I couldn’t see its face, but its shape and presence felt connected to the flying figure from moments before. It was completely silent, but I felt an intense wave of fear and instinctively ran inside.

I want to emphasize, my friend heard the clicking too, over the phone, and commented that it sounded like something was about to explode.

The entire thing happened over maybe 2–3 minutes.

There were no red eyes, no flapping, and no sound of wings, just the clicking, the enormous presence, and the silence when it was gone.

This wasn’t a dream, and it wasn’t just my imagination. I’m fully aware of how strange this sounds, but I needed to document it. Whether it was a cryptid, a supernatural entity, or something else, I’m certain of what I experienced.

Please let me know if there have been any other reports like this in the San Luis Obispo area, or if you’d like more details. I just want to make sure this is taken seriously.

Thank you for your time. Please get back to me what I experienced is still haunting me I really need to find out what this was." EB

I had received another winged being report from the San Luis Obispo area:

“It was 2011 in San Luis Obispo, California. I was in this old internment camp built in 1942. It was a foggy, cloudy night. There's tons of wildlife - deer, turkey, cats, etc. - in this river trail. A few of us were on the bleachers.

 

One of the guys there was a few feet from me, looking up at the sky. Then he started calling my name. I was busy talking to the other guys. He said my name a few times before I said, 'What's up?' He nodded and said, 'Look up.' I looked up. It was a flying bat-like humanoid with cloudy, milky skin. He had to be about 7 to 8 feet tall with a wingspan of about 11 feet, gliding above all the wildlife. He was roughly 50 yards up in the sky, about 45 degrees to the right. I saw it for about 10 seconds. It glided behind the clouds and disappeared. Then we looked at each other like, WTF?

 

So my theory is that these predators are intelligent. They know when to hunt on cloudy days when they will be less seen and detected. On clear nights, no creature ever flew by, but that day it was cloudy, foggy, and visibility was minimal. However, when we saw him, there was a break in the clouds.” YB
