I know it's not exactly endemic to your neck of the woods but perhaps a flying fox?



On average, P. vampyrus is the largest species, with a wingspan of up to 6 feet (1.83 meters) but a weight of only 1.5 kg (3.3 lb.). Other species have impressive widths, such as the Indian flying fox (P. giganteus) which has a 5 foot (1.5 meter) wingspan. Pelage is long and silky with a dense underfur. No tail is present. As the name suggests, the head resembles that of a small fox because of the small ears and large eyes. Females have one pair of mammae located in the chest region. Ears are simple (long and pointed) with the outer margin forming an unbroken ring (a defining characteristic of megabats). Toes have sharp curved claws.


Just to give you something

Id say you saw a satellite, they will get brighter for a moment or two as its moving due to the sun bouncing off of it, I see that all the time.

As for what the OP saw, sounds pretty strange

Hey Prime, seems like you saw something you can't explain. Maybe you could draw it and Post it? Maybe a picture will give everyone a little better view through your eyes Seriously draw it.

I was talking to Ganja about the satellite.

Whatever it was you seen sounds strange, maybe a couple of mothmen?
