Bat-Winged Humanoid Encountered Near Indianapolis International Airport


I recently received the following report from an eyewitness 'CJ':

A friend of mine just sent me an article on sightings about the humanoid type flying creature in Indiana. It had written in it about a recent sighting of this thing. My girlfriend and I both witnessed this same creature about 6 years ago (summer 2012) while traveling I-465 north headed to the Indianapolis International Airport around 3am.

The creature (Mothman) as we have been calling it, flew right in front of our windshield! It soared in between 2 buildings and came right in front of the van (taxi van, I was on a cab fare). It turned its head and looked right at us with little red eyes. It then flapped its wings one time and flew to the left really fast. The wings were so beautiful. I'll never forget how amazing they were. It was a very bat-like being. You could almost see through his wings. You could see the veins bulging from all angles of the wings and light that illuminated through them in the background. And I'll NEVER forget the eyes. They were piercing and felt as if they looked right into my soul. It was definitely a very deep feeling.

And you know funny thing was? Even though this massive thing flew so close in front of the van, I felt I was going to hit him, I never once put my breaks on. And I think back about that and why I didn't a lot. I mean I'm a taxi driver with a chauffeur license trained to be safe and cautious. Yet I never once slammed on my brakes or attempted to stop.

Just thought I should contact you. I hope to hear back from you. I would like to know more about this thing. We wanted to tell someone bigger than just our circle of friends and family but didnt know who. CJ

NOTE: I contacted CJ and her companion for additional information. She and her companion (in the front) were with two fares (soldier and his girlfriend in the back). CJ states that the winged being had a thin 7 ft. body, brownish in color. The bat-like wingspan was at least 12 ft. in length. The red eyes had a distinct illumination and were very bright.

The area around the Indianapolis International Airport is well-known for UFO and anomalous activity. EX - UFO Sighting Results in Possible MIB Encounter - Reports of UFOs Causing Electrical Disturbances - Lon

It Came Out of the Closet


Phillip in Texas called to tell of a strange thing that happened to him and his family:

“I got one that fits perfectly with what you said (Clyde and his guest Rosemary Ellen Guiley were discussing strange, creepy things children say) but this happened about thirty years ago. My twins were one year old, we put them to bed and they woke up in the middle of the night screaming. They were saying a headless man, or a man with no head, and a horsey-head came out of their closet. And their closet door happened to be open. We calmed them down, put them to bed, closed the closet door. Didn't think anything of it.

A few nights later, the same thing happened again. They were in hysterics, screaming and crying, saying the same thing, a headless man and a horsey man came out of the closet. We figured maybe they were opening the closet. They were one years old so they could get out of the crib. So we put one of the cribs up against the closet and we put them to bed. That night we heard a big crash and the kids were screaming in hysterics. We walked in the hallway. Their door was hanging on an I-hook and one of the hinges at an angle. Inside the room, the one crib we had put up against the closet door was all the way across the room. The closet door was open and the kids were incoherent, they were screaming and crying so hard. They were saying, a man with no head and a horsey head.

After that third incident where the door was actually pulled off its hinges and I know one year old twins cannot do that, that was the last night they stayed in that room.”

NOTE: is it possible that these twins were creating a PK incident? Lon

A Reader Asks: Is Bigfoot An Alien Being?


A reader forwarded the following email to me in 2010. I thought I'd post again after recently receiving a Bigfoot sighting report in the same general area and for your comments:

Hi Lon. I read your site daily and have enjoyed the personal stories by your readers. I had an experience when I was a boy that I hope would be of interest.

In September 1978, I lived with my father on a farm in the vicinity of Shawano, Wisconsin which is very near the Menominee Indian Reservation. There had been some buzz within the community of an unknown large hairy creature spotted by two deer hunters not far from our farm. I had heard stories of the Manabai'wok or 'The Giants' from stories told by the Menominee, but I just considered these tales to be legends.

Then one evening, my father and I were coming home from the store and noticed what appeared to be two hairy creatures collecting squash from the garden. Each creature was at least 6 foot tall. It was dusk but there was enough light to clearly see what they were doing. My father immediately cut the headlights and stopped the car as we just sat there and watched them pick and eat the squash. They didn't seem to even notice us, even though we were about 100 feet from them.

After about 5 minutes, one of the creatures looked in our direction and you could see it's eyes glow red from the moonlight. We started to get scared and decided to make a dash for the house and call the police. Then suddenly, a huge disc-shaped objects appeared above us and slowly moved towards the east field which was about 200 hundred yards from us and landed. I estimate the craft was about 40 feet in diameter. A large sliding door opened immediately and a foggy green light glowed from within the craft. After a few seconds, the door closed and craft slowly rose and shot off towards the north. Then we noticed that the creatures were gone.

A few days later, our neighbors from down the road came over for dinner. After we finished eating, my father and Mr. C walked outside. After an hour or so, the neighbors left and I started to clean up the kitchen. Later that evening, I was watching TV in the living room. My father walked in, turned off the TV and sat down beside me. He told me that Mr. C and his sister witnessed one of the craft on the same night that we had our encounter. As well, they witnessed several of the large hairy creatures meandering in the nearby woods. Mr. C said that he knew something had been in the woods for several weeks but never got a good look until the craft arrived. After that night, we never had another encounter or did we hear of more sightings by any people in the area.

Do you think that these creatures were Bigfoot, aliens or one in the same? I has always seemed strange to me that a Bigfoot body has never been found. Is it a possibility that Bigfoot is an extraterrestrial being? Thanks, Donald

NOTE: This is a question I have mulled over since I first started looking into the Bigfoot question. I have heard and read many Bigfoot / UFO connection reports over the years. I am currently working on a book concerning alien and otherworldly being encounters and incidents. I'd like to read your thoughts. Lon

Bigfoot Encounter in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin


I received a telephone call on January 20th from the witness NH near Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin:

NH states that he had just returned home from work, about 11PM CT (local time) on Tuesday, January 29th. At the time there was approximately 10-12" of snow on the ground and the temperature was in the -30s F. The first thing he did when he arrived home was to take his Golden Retriever out.

As NH and his dog walked along the street, the dog soon reacted violently to a large upright being crossing the street ahead of them...maybe 75 yards away. The 8+ ft. being was massive and was walking quickly, passing under a streetlamp when it reached their side of the sidewalk.

NH noticed that it was hair-covered, but could not make out any details other than a cone-shaped head and that it had very wide shoulders. The dog continued to react with incessant barking, prompting a neighbor to turn on their porch light.

NH was confused by what he witnessed and asked me if a Black Bear could have been that large and able to walk like a human. It does seem that he encountered a Bigfoot in his neighborhood. Lon

A Horse-Man

Derek in Massachusetts called in to tell of a weird creature his friend saw:

“I got a quick sighting. My boss, we're at work right now, I called for him a couple times during like a UFO episode. I'm pretty sure he lives in a hotspot. It's right next to a reservation land, or a conservation land that used to be a military shooting range in the civil war and he's the last house in the cul de sac so his yard is right next to the woods. And I believe it's a portal. And one day this past summer, he had lit a fire around duskish, when the sun went down and he turned his head and he saw this little, like, 3 or 4 foot, naked, hairy, like, feral child or like a little gremlin type thing and I know you were talking earlier tonight about a horse-man but he had like shaggy hair. Then his hair went back down his neck like that, like a horse-man, almost, and he was kind of hunched over. And he kind of galloped off and when they checked the footprints, there was no footprints.”

Earlier Eyewitness To Prairie Creek Reservoir Winged Humanoid Comes Forward


I received the following email on Sunday, January 27, 2019 in reference to my post Large Flying Humanoid Observed Near Prairie Creek Reservoir, Indiana:

My husband was on Facebook and saw this article that you wrote and immediately showed it to me because I am certain this is the creature I saw 8 yrs ago in 2011 around this same time of year (winter) when I was on my way to work.

The events unfolded as such. I was driving down Rd 1 in between 400 and 500 S. Now this location is in Randolph County just ten to fifteen minutes kind of east from Prairie Creek Reservoir. This is why the article caught my husband's attention from the beginning. Anyway, as I was driving I saw what appeared to be a human crouched down in the road. As I got closer and the more I slowed down it did not move, so I was at a complete stop. This thing slowly turned its head to look my way and it had greenish yellowish-like eyes, like the color of cat eyes. It stared for maybe three seconds and then proceeded to slowly get up from its position, like a human would stand up because it had legs. It turned towards my car. It stepped on my car and used it to take off. Then it lifted off like a glider towards the sky. I turned my head just in time to see it tuck its legs into its body, so it did appear as a bird in flight...kind of. Its wingspan was wider than anything I've ever seen on an animal in my life.

I told my husband what had happened and he told me it had to have been a bird...until he saw this article.

I've never said anything to anyone else in fear that I would be made out to be an idiot. I also would still like to maintain my privacy as I do not want any public attention from this as I have a young daughter and do not want her to be bought into it either. I hope you'll maintain my privacy as well and keep my involvement just a witness as you did the other witness in your article. RP
