Observation of a strange creature occurred in San Benito, where in the early morning of January 7, two police officers, Arturo Padilla and Homer Galvan saw what they described as a very large bird with a face like a gorilla, with glowing red eyes and with a huge wingspan of 12 - 15 metres.

Later that same day another witness by the name of Alberico noticed the creature near his home in Brownsville. He described it as being like a bat, with large wings, big eyes and long thin beak.

Also, Alberico told that the creature was making eerie sounds similar to a groan and the sounds were completely foreign, as if the creature was from another planet.

In an interview with journalists of the newspaper "Brownsville Herald" Alberico said that he was scared and that "the creature had wings like a bird, but it was not a bird but an animal not of this world".
