Initial data
When it was getting dark, a monstrous bird was seen in South Greensburg, four people were sitting in the yard, barbecuing and enjoying the beautiful weather, when suddenly their attention was attracted to the sky by a sound like "whistling" or "whistling", or, as one witness said, "like air falling straight down."
Several observers shouted several exclamations almost simultaneously, including one man who said:
"What the hell is this?"
All of them were amazed to see a huge bird that flew over a tree in the yard at a height of 30-40 feet (0.9-1.2 m) above their heads. The person who was cooking turned and looked up to see the creature flying over him at a distance of about 40 feet (12 m).
When the bird passed the tree, it turned slightly to the right and went straight along the road, keeping the level low. At the first observation, the creature's massive wings were lifted up and began to slowly descend, as if they were rolling to the bottom. The sound of whistling could be heard as the wings moved. The strong bird flew about 125 yards along the road, and at that time the wings took off again.
The creature was seen as it continued to move steadily along the road, passing just above the roof of the house, slowly and evenly flapping its wings about 3-4 times, until it reached a group of trees about miles from where it was located. lost sight of. It took about 20 seconds to cover the miles.
When he passed, it seemed that he was looking down, with his head and beak down. It was estimated that if the bird is on the ground, its height will be from 4.5 to 5 feet (1.3-1.5 m). The whole body was of the same dark color, dark brown or black. The width of the body was about 25-30 inches (63.3-76.2 cm).
One witness said that the body "was very bulky and massive." The head was oval in shape, and the beak was short for the size of the animal, about 8-10 inches in length. The tail was about 2 feet (0.6 m) long and wide at the tip. The witnesses were impressed by the size of the wingspan of the creature, whose length, according to their estimates, was 10 feet (3 m) or more.
When asked why no one thought to take a picture, they replied that although there were cell phones with camera functions, all the participants were hypnotized by the meeting.
Later it became known that another witness, who was lying along the road over which a large bird flew, also reportedly saw this creature. One witness was a long-time hunter, well acquainted with the birds living in the state, and is sure that he saw something very unusual.
The area where these observations were made, although surrounded by some wooded areas, is well populated, and the nearby route of Highway No. 119 is a roadway with heavy traffic.

Summary: There was a sighting of a monstrous bird in South Greensburg just as it was getting dark, four people were sitting around in the yard having a barbecue and enjoying the beautiful weather when suddenly, their attention was drawn skyward by a sound like a “swish” or a “swoosh” or as one witness stated, “like the air coming straight down.”
Several of the observers at almost the same time yelled out some exclamations including one man who said, “What the hell is that?” They were all startled to see a tremendously large bird that was flying over a tree in the yard about 30-40 feet overhead. The man who was going the cooking turned and looked up to see the creature fly above him at a distance of about 40 feet away. As the bird passed the tree, it veered slightly to the right and went straight down the road ahead maintaining its low level path. When first observed the massive wings of the creature were in an upward position and were beginning to drop slowly, almost as if they were rolling to the bottom. The swoosh sound could be heard when the wings were moving. The powerful bird had flown about 125 yards down the road, at which time the wings were coming back up. The creature was observed as it continued to move steadily down the road, passing just above the roof top of a house with its wings flapping slowly and steadily about 3-4 times until it reached a group of trees about ¼ miles away, where it was lost from sight. It took about 20 seconds to go the ¼ mile distance.
As it passed over, it appeared as though it was peering below, with its head and beak positioned downward. It was estimated that if the bird was on the ground it would stand between 4 ½ to 5 feet tall. The entire body was the same dark color, either darkish brown or black. The body width was about 25-30 inches wide. One witness said the body, “was very bulky and husky.” The head was oval shaped, and the beak was short for the size of the animal, about 8-10 inches long. The tail was about 2 feet long and came out wide to a point. It was the size of the wingspan of the creature that impressed the witnesses which they estimated at 10 feet or more in length. When asked why nobody thought to take a picture, they pointed out that while there were cell phones lying there with camera functions, all involved were mesmerized by the encounter. One witness felt as if he was almost ‘in shock’.
It was later learned that another witness who lied along the road where the big bird flew over also reportedly saw the creature. One witness has been a long time hunter and is very familiar with birds native to the state and is certain that he saw something quite unusual. The area where these observations have taken place, while surrounded with some wooded locations, is well populated, and nearby Route 119 is a highly traveled roadway.
