A Rio Rancho, New Mexico resident is in his backyard at night when he observes an 8-foot-long leathery-skinned winged humanoid flying above him. The sighting affected him for years.

I received the following account:

"Hello. I am sharing an experience my husband had about 3 years or so ago. We live in Rio Rancho, New Mexico and it was about 8 or 9:00 at night. We were planning to go out into our backyard and just chill out to enjoy the cool air and have a small fire.

I was inside when this happened, so I did not see anything. I was talking to my oldest daughter and my husband went outside and sat down in a chair. He leaned back and looked up at the sky, and he said what he saw scared him so bad he just froze. He said he heard absolutely no noise whatsoever and it was about 8 feet in length, with leathery skin, and huge wings. It was about 20 feet above the rooftops of the houses. He watched it until it went out of sight so in two minutes or less. It was flying in a northwest direction.

His way of describing it was it looked like the creature from 'Jeepers Creepers.' He came running into the house, shut the back door, shut the blinds, and was shaking and white as a sheet. It took me three days to get him to finally tell me what he saw and he doesn't like speaking of it.

To this day he still avoids it when brought up. He would not go outside for weeks at night after that, not even to get something from his truck. I am sharing this story because there has to be something out there. We have been married for 15 years and NEVER has one of us ever joked around about anything like that." JP
