Initial data
Hearing his old border collie barking and whining at something in the melon patch behind the barn, Joe pierce went to investigate the incident with a flashlight.
As he turned the corner of the barn, he almost tripped over his dog, which was cowering and shivering next to the building. Thinking the dog was injured, he briefly knelt down next to his dog, quickly checked for injuries, then stood up and pointed the flashlight beam at the sounds of movement.
First he saw a figure, which he thought was a man with a blanket wrapped around him, bending down and chewing a melon. Piers shouted at the figure, and it suddenly stood up, revealing that it was a tall humanoid creature with dark wings folded around its torso.
When it stretched to its full height, more than six feet (1.8 m), each wing unfolded to a width of seven to eight feet - at least fourteen feet (4.2 m) from one end of the wing to the other.
The startled witness dropped the flashlight and slid to the ground. Then the humanoid let out a terrible screech and flew up into the night sky.
"Its wings made a sharp, leathery flapping sound as it flew away."

As he turned the corner of the barn, he nearly stumbled over his dog, which was cowering and shivering next to the building. Thinking that the dog had been hurt, he knelt briefly beside his dog, checked quickly for any injury then stood up and directed the beam of the flashlight toward the sounds of movement in the melon patch. At fist he saw a figure that he thought was a man with a blanked wrapped around him, bending over and chomping into a melon. Pierce yelled at the figure and it suddenly stood up revealing itself to be a tall man-like creature with dark wings that had been folded around his torso. As he stretched itself to his full height of well over six feet, each wing unfolded to a width of what appeared to be seven to eight ft—at least fourteen feet from one wing tip to the other. The terrified witness dropped the flashlight and slid down to the ground. The humanoid then emitted a terrible screeching sound, then lifted off into the night sky. “Its wings made a sharp leathery slapping sound as it flew away.”
