I watch some meteor showers, so I was watching for the taurid fire balls turned out lights in the house so it would dark, went to see if there was anything happening, stood there, waited for about five or ten minuets and seen my first fire ball. Knowing this would be a good night I set myself up with Adarondak chair with soft drink, blanket cusion, for lengthy stay. Saw one or two small ones, about to lose interest, while facing north I could barely make out something coming straight at me about 30 degreas off horizon. It had no lights, made no noise, seem to be gliding. Couldn't make out what it was, but looked to be about 20ft across with I thought to look like something hanging down underneath. Not knowing what it was or what to expect, I started to get a better look at this thing but my mind and eyes wouldn't let me accept what I was seeing. It glided straight over my porch with roof, so i jumped up and ran to south end of porch. Waiting for it to come on over there it was. It looked to be a 1 or 2 hundred feet above me. With a loud Yelp hollered what is .? ! #that with other choice words. Watched it glide out of sight. I do some flying, Cessna, and can judge pretty well how high something is and by judging with that if it were a plane I could have read the numbers on a plane. I could see it! It seem to adjust for gliding but had no known propulsion. Stayed even keel, same elevation, same speed, same direction. First I said taradoctyle? But no visible head, letting my head accept what I seen. It seemed to be some sort of entity. And my searching the internet I came across Mothman. With what I thought were light colored bags hanging down. Now I'm thinking legs hanging down. With dark brown wings. But enough about what I think, there you go. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. LOL!
