Sighting in Southern Montana, Sep 4, 2009

Early Sep 11, 2009

An eyewitness recently told me that he saw, “the largest flying creature I’ve ever seen,” at the Cooney Reservoir in Southern Montana, on Friday, September 4, 2009. I’m presently interviewing him, with the hope of communicating with another man who was with him that evening at the Red Lodge campground. Several preliminary signs indicate that this is a genuine sighting, unlikely a hoax. (See the press release on the elimination of hoax potential in overall testimonies; nevertheless, individual credibility is judged rather differently. The report of this Montana sighting has its own individual aspects that give it credibility.)

Early that night, it flew over them: about 50 feet high; the eyewitness estimated the wingspan: 20 feet. “We could hear the sound of the wings flapping.” Two other eyewitnesses may have seen something similar at different times in the area, giving us three additional potential eyewitness testimonies involving as many as two additional sightings. I’ll follow up on those as well. [Introduction to this blog]
