Initial data
The witness was driving south on PA 43, about two miles from the Route 40 interchange. As the man was driving along the road, his attention was drawn to what he first thought was a plane flying over the trees. Soon he noticed that the wings were moving. The flying creature was moving in the direction of his car, so he pulled off the road and got out to get a better look.
The winged creature flew over the car and moved after the witness about 100 feet above his head. At this moment, it seemed that this creature was sliding and falling lower, and it looked more like a giant bat than a bird. The witness did not see any feathers, only short dark gray or black body hair. The wings were a membrane stretched over the bone. It was a little difficult to see the details because of the bright sky.
A witness reported that a small amount of light could be seen through the membrane. He stressed that it is not as hard as metal. As the man watched, the creature fell lower from the sky behind his car. Apparently, this huge flying animal was noticed by other motorists.
One car stopped on the road, and a man got out of it. This driver had a camera, and he was seen taking pictures of a (unpublished) flying creature.
As they watched, the creature glided down no more than 20 feet (6 m) above the road surface, and was seen flapping its wings once or twice.
With each flap of the wing, the creature seemed to rise about 20 feet (6 m) above the roadway. Since the creature was flying so low, its huge wingspan was obvious to the witness. This person stated that when the creature spread its wings, they stepped over the edge of the sidewalk, on the other side of the two-lane road. It will be about 20 feet (6 m) long. The creature flew away to the west and disappeared from sight behind the trees on the other side of the road.
A man with a camera ran into the forest after the creature. At that moment, the main witness decided to leave, as he was afraid that he might be attacked.

The witness was traveling south on PA Route 43 about two miles from the Route 40 interchange. As the man traveled down the road, his attention was drawn to what he thought at first was an aircraft moving over the trees. He soon noticed that the wings were moving. The flying thing was moving in the direction of his car, so he pulled off the road, and got out to get a better look. The winged thing passed over the car and moved behind the witness about 100 feet overhead. At that point this creature appeared to be gliding, and getting lower, and it looked more like a giant bat than a bird. The witness could see no feathers, only short dark gray or black hair on the body. The wings appeared to be a membrane stretched over bone. It was a little difficult to see the details due to the sky being so bright. The witness commented that a small amount of light could be seen through the membrane. He emphasized that it was not solid like metal. As the man watched, the creature dropped lower from the sky behind his car. Apparently other motorists also caught sight of the huge flying animal. One car stopped down the road, and a person got out. That driver had a camera with him, and was seen taking pictures of the flying creature. As they watched, the creature glided down to no more than 20 feet above the road surface, and was seen flapping its wings once or twice. With each wing flap, the creature appeared to rise about 20 feet higher above the roadway. Since the creature was flying so low its huge wingspan was very evident to the witness. The man stated that when the creature spread its wings, they extended beyond the one edge of the pavement, to the other side of the two lane road. That would be about 20 feet or more in length. The creature flew off towards the west, and was lost from sight over the trees on that side of the road. The man with the camera was seen running into the woods following the creature. At this point the main witness decided to leave since he was concerned that he could be attacked.
