I believe you. When you see something, that is out of place in nature, it makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. I also believe, that living in the country, makes you an expert as to wildlife indiginous to your area, as I grew up in the country aswell. You know, normal, from something youve never seen before.

If I were you, if you are interested in getting proof of this, I wouldnt do it without having a shot gun near me. If they know where you live, chances are they could kill you. Maybe a shape shifter, or a creature like the mothman. There are so many different kinds of creatures that people see and run into all the time- it can be one of a million things- but I believe that you saw a bat winged creature. Thats very awesome!

I didn't see that, but I DID see a slow moving "shooting star" which was strange around 7 tonight (I'm in Jefferson County btw). It looked like a normal one, except it moved wayyy slower, and had no tail.. It got suddenly bright for like 3 seconds, then dimmed and continued heading east. Anyone else see this? Also, will be keeping an eye out for whatever the hell it was that you guys saw. If I do see it, I'll call my red-neck step brother, he'd be down to see about catching one...lol.

Hey, I saw a slow going shooting star to, it was on tuesday evening arounf 8 Pm green or blue, spooky stuff..
Mine had a tail like a shooting star, but the speed was wierdish slow for something to fall out of the sky...

??? Did these creatures notice you and ignored you or did they not even look down and where they going towards a direction of a water location?

my buddy said it looked like it was staring at us i was caught off guard by the way its belly shined up against the flood lights... There is no water source around his house except for small ponds maybe a few in the area but no they were in a residential area just flying around the second appeared to be possibly stationary in a tree or maybe flying behind them it was out of sight but it was calling back to the one we spotted on flyover

No pictures/video, no other eye-witness accounts, and this is in ATS rather than BTS? Four pages and counting. Groovy.

This was my first thought as well. I used to live in rural GA and have seen some huge owls in the past. I even see them up here in ATL nowadays. Yes, they do make some crazy sounds!

Perhaps I am missing something, but how were you able to distinguish that the ventral side of the body was covered in hair and not feathers from 75 feet away?

I find the OP very believable in his relating what happened, and am sure that if he manages to get video, and it ends up being an owl, or heron or whatever, he would also relate that as well.

This could very well be just a sighting of something common that has been misidentified, but all the posts that are trying to get to the bottom of this sighting, are very educational as I am learning a lot about what some birds can sound like, as well as look like in different lighting conditions.

And isn't this what ATS is all about?? Getting to the truth??

Respectfully..
