Bats and primates are fairly closely related. The idea that a somewhat human-like bat might exist does not seem implausible to me. Neither does the possibility of giant bats a meter or more tall seem implausible.

Right, Loren! I didn’t notice the underlined link part, so thanks for drawing my attention to it.

Mystery_man says: “I can’t seem to locate the original blog.”

If there is an underlined word in a sentence, that is a link. Most of these are placed in our blogs to refer you back to the sources or other blogs detailing part of what we might be writing about.

Therefore, in this case, the link to the “original blog” that mm is asking about is right there.

Click on the links, folks, and you will discover the hyperlinks to most referenced material or deeper information of a related nature.

This all seems like Goblin Universe stuff to me, but it is interesting to see those drawings again as they came up here on Cryptomundo awhile back. I can’t seem to locate the original blog, but there were lots of theories that this could have been a large owl or vulture, I believe. I always try to sift through the more mundane possibilities with these things and how these things could have appeared the way they were reported. These kinds of accounts I really don’t know what to do with because they are so bizzarre and don’t seem to me to be possibilities for a biological entity of the natural world. Still love reading about them though!

If you search You Tube, using the keywords flying humanoid, I believe you’ll find footage of something that may or may not relate to that policeman’s encounter that MBFH mentions. There’s also an interview with the officer in question, I believe. It’s all in Spanish, I’m afraid, so I’m not too sure what they’re talking about, except that they call the thing a Brujah, which basically means witch. The flying thing is strange, but the image isn’t clear enough to really say much about what it might be.

Ahh, how time has flown. That Texas “Chupacabras” sighting was one of my very first posts, although I had been lurking for a few weeks before that. That sighting still has potential, although it may certainly have a rational explanation, such as the owls everyone mentioned.

This new account, however, seems less CZ in nature. Shumway may have it right in thinking it’s just a prank either by somebody in a Batman costume, or some kid contriving the whole thing for attention or whatnot.

Then again, some of the 1953 Texas accounts seem to indicate nothing short of a man “wearing” wings. Had it been the 1960′s, perhaps he would have been reported as a man in a Batman costume (Grey, tight-fitting clothes, a la Adam West), but Batman was a bit less of a cultural icon back in the 1950′s.

It will be interesting if this flap continues, but right now it’s little more than a relatively explainable incident.

Relatively speaking I don't think Texas is that far from Mexico, especially if you can fly?! There's a report from 2004 about a police officer in Monterrey getting attacked by a winged creature - this time it was Bat Woman though. These reports seem to crop up quite frequently - is there a pattern to the sightings does anyone know?

times sure have changed. Everyone seems extremely careful about these things. If I had said that at that grade I would have gotten, “Yeah, sure, whatever you say, and you can think about it over detention.” Now they have to investigate anything having to do with someone not belonging on campus as a potential bad guy. The no evidence tells me the kid was just playing around. Probably succeeded in getting out of doing anymore work for the day. I pretty sure I would know the difference between some geek in a batman costume and something mentioned from Texas.

I never know what to make of this “Fortean” stuff that kind of pops out of nowhere (aside from cataloguing it into the “guy in a cape theory”) and then disappears again without any other back up.

The information is always vague and odd, and unless Loren is onto a pattern–like it wakes up every decade, goes prancing through town and disappears–then there is nothing really to do other than keep logs of things over time.

There is also a case of a bat-like humanoid, this time female from 1969 Vietnam. There were 3 military personnel who observed this event. In this case they also reported a glow to it as it flew over them.
