The landscape is familiar. The roads, fences, rooftops, fields, and trees are exactly where they have always been. Then the sunlight suddenly changes.
You look up.
Something enormous is moving overhead.
There is no obvious sound of wings beating. No dramatic screech. Just a broad, dark silhouette sliding across the sky.
For a moment, you might not even know what you’re looking at.
That appears to have been the experience of several residents who reported seeing the mysterious bird.
Some were driving when they noticed it.
Others were working outside or standing in their yards.
A few happened to be near open fields where there was little to obstruct the view.
The creature seemed to glide rather than fly in the frantic, rapid manner people often associate with smaller birds.
And because it appeared against the bright afternoon sky, judging its true size became almost impossible.
Was it actually enormous?
