The main witness was out on the back porch when his attention was caught by two huge black "birds" approaching from the north. 

At first he thought they were herons, but soon realized that the color was wrong, and "they were huge, much bigger than any bird I've ever seen." 

Two huge birds landed on the top of a very tall coniferous tree. The witness stated that the wingspan was wider than the branches, jokingly lower than where they landed. The body size from head to tail was about six feet (1.8 m). The strangest feature was the shape of the wings, which, according to the witness, resembled a bat. The tree on which the "birds" landed seemed about to break from their weight.

the videtel shouted for the others in the house to come out and look. Another family member was able to see the huge black birds as they flew overhead and headed into the forest. 

After checking the size of the branches on which the birds landed, the witness estimated that the wingspan was about 12 feet (3.6 m) or slightly larger.

The primary witness had stepped out on his back porch when his attention was drawn to two huge black “birds” which were approaching from the north. His first impression was they were Herons, but soon realized that the color was wrong, and “they were huge, much larger than any bird I have ever seen.” The two huge birds landed at the top of a very tall coniferous tree. The witness stated that the wingspan appeared to be wider than the branches, jest below where they had landed. The body size was estimated to be about six feet from head to tail. The oddest feature was the shape of the wings, which according to the witness appeared to be bat-like. The tree where the “birds” landed seemed as though it would break from their weight. The witness yelled for others in the house to come outside to look. Another family member was able to see the huge black birds as they passed overhead, and headed for some woods. After checking the size of the branches where the birds had landed, the witness estimated that the wingspan would have been close to 12 feet or somewhat larger.
