1 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,360 Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning. 2 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,720 In this episode, we're talking about the O'Hare Mothman. 3 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,640 That's correct, The O'Hare Mothman. 4 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,280 Now, the O'Hare Mothman is a mysterious winged humanoid 5 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,360 creature seen around Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. 6 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,920 Witnesses describe it as standing around six to seven 7 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:29,320 feet tall, with a wingspan exceeding 10 feet. 8 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,080 Its most striking feature is its glowing red eyes, which are 9 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,800 often described as piercing or menacing. 10 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,520 The creature is typically seen at night flying silently or 11 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,400 perching near airport buildings. Many believers consider it a 12 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,360 harbinger of doom, similar to the Mothman sightings in Point 13 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,600 Pleasant, WV, and view its appearance as a sign of 14 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,720 impending disaster or other worldly forces at play. 15 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,080 To begin with, I want to take a look at this first article here 16 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:06,680 from hangar1publishing.com. It says the Mothman of O'Hare 17 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,280 winged humanoid sightings hot in Chicago's skies. 18 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,400 We don't have a date on this, but it's written by Jack 19 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,800 Sullivan, Cryptozoologist says It's a crisp autumn evening at 20 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,200 Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. 21 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,880 A United States Postal Service worker, a 15 year veteran of the 22 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,040 job, is walking to her car after a long shift at the sorting 23 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,760 facility. As she approaches her vehicle, 24 00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:35,880 she notices a tall, dark figure standing at the far end of the 25 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,560 dimly lit parking lot. Initially, she assumes it's just 26 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,680 a person wearing a long coat. But as she unlocks her car and 27 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,400 the headlights illuminate the mysterious silhouette, a 28 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,160 chilling realization dawns upon her. 29 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,760 This is no ordinary person. The figure turns to face her, 30 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,160 revealing a pair of large glowing red eyes. 31 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,880 What she had mistaken for a coat unfurls into a set of massive 32 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,160 bat like wings. The creature, standing well over 33 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,919 7 feet tall, begins emitting an unsettling chirping sound, a 34 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,000 rapid clicking noise that sends shivers down her spine. 35 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,160 Suddenly, it lets out a deafening screech and charges 36 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,960 directly at her, its wings propelling it forward at an 37 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,800 alarming speed. In a moment of sheer terror, the 38 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,840 woman dives into her car, locking the doors and 39 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,040 frantically starting the engine. As she peels out of the parking 40 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,720 lot, the winged monstrosity soars overhead, vanishing into 41 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,480 the night sky. And I couldn't imagine a much 42 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,400 more terrorizing experience than that, just walking to your car 43 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,440 after work and having this crazy thing take off, running towards 44 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,080 you, going airborne and flying over your car. 45 00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:53,680 This spine chilling encounter is just one of many that have 46 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,720 plagued Chicago's O'Hare International Airport in recent 47 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,760 years. A wave of sightings eerily 48 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,160 reminiscent of the infamous Mothman legend that originated 49 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,320 in Point Pleasant, WV, during the 1960s has gripped the 50 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,400 airport and its surrounding areas. 51 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,560 The Mothman, a cryptozoological entity described as a large 52 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,960 humanoid creature with glowing red eyes and expansive wings, 53 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,000 has long been a subject to fascination and fear. 54 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,120 Its alleged appearance and Point Pleasant just months before the 55 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:33,400 tragic collapse of the Silver Bridge in 1967, has cemented its 56 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,160 status as an omen of impending doom. 57 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:41,160 Now, it seems the Mothman has found a new haunt in the skies 58 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,840 above Chicago. The O'Hare sightings, which 59 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,080 began in earnest around 2011 and have continued to the present 60 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,840 day, have reignited interest in this enigmatic being. 61 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,640 Witnesses ranging from airport personnel to visitors have 62 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,120 reported terrifying encounters with the winged humanoid that 63 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,280 bears an uncanny resemblance to the Mothman of Point Pleasant. 64 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,720 As the sightings persist and the accounts accumulate, 1 can't 65 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:13,320 help but wonder, is the Mothman a harbinger of disaster, a 66 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,760 supernatural entity, or something else entirely? 67 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,680 Wow, that is really crazy, isn't it? 68 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,120 Then it goes on here it says. The modern saga of the O'Hare 69 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:28,000 Mothman began on a chilly November evening in 2019. 70 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,560 A truck driver picking up a load at the airport's bus land cargo 71 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,200 area had stepped away from his vehicle for a smoke break. 72 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,160 As he stood near the parking lot fence, movements in the 73 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,520 periphery of his vision caught his attention. 74 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,280 There, standing just outside the perimeter, was a tall bird like 75 00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:50,880 entity. The driver, perplexed by the 76 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,440 sight, watched as a creature, which he described as quote, a 77 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,680 person with wings that were stretched out and flapping, 78 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,120 began walking toward an open field. 79 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,960 Moments later, the being took flight, its wings propelling it 80 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,880 into the night sky before it vanished from view. 81 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,000 This sighting, while unnerving, might have been dismissed as an 82 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,120 isolated incident or trick of the light, however, and it must 83 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,960 have followed. A series of similar reports 84 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,360 began to surface, all centered around O Hare International 85 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,040 Airport. Witnesses, many of whom were 86 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,880 airport employees, came forward with their own chilling tales of 87 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,800 encounters with the winged humanoid. 88 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,320 Security guards, airline staff and even pilots recounted 89 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,400 sightings of a large, dark figure with glowing red eyes and 90 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,760 an impressive wingspan. The consistency and the 91 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,280 description was striking, lending credence to the idea 92 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,840 that something extraordinary was indeed lurking in the shadows of 93 00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:56,200 the airport. As word of the sightings spread 94 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,560 both through official channels and the Grapevine of airport 95 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:04,040 gossip, it became clear that the O'Hare Mothman was no mere 96 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,400 figment of the imagination. The sheer number of witnesses, 97 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,120 many of whom had no prior knowledge of the Mothman legend, 98 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,800 suggests that a genuine phenomena was at play. 99 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,440 Some speculated that the creature might be a previously 100 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,000 unknown species of a large bat or bird, while others whispered 101 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,800 of supernatural or interdimensional origins. 102 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,320 Regardless of the explanation, one thing was certain. 103 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,720 The Mothman had made its presence known at O'Hare, and it 104 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,840 showed no signs of departing any time soon. 105 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,320 To truly grasp the nature of the O'Hare Mothman phenomena, it's 106 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,760 essential to examine the witness accounts in greater detail. 107 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,800 While each encounter is unique, certain commonalities emerge, 108 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,520 painting a vivid picture of the creature and its unsettling 109 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,120 behavior. One of the most striking 110 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,320 sightings occurred in February 2020 when an airport security 111 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,520 officer had a hair raising encounter during a routine 112 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,240 cigarette break. As he stood near the perimeter 113 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,240 fence, movement caught his eye. There in the shadows was a 114 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,080 massive black winged being. As the officer watched in a 115 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,080 mixture of awe and terror, the creature turned his head, 116 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,120 revealing a pair of glowing red eyes that seemed to Pierce 117 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,200 through the darkness. Suddenly the entity let out a 118 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,520 bone chilling shriek, a sound that the witness compared to the 119 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,080 screeching of train brakes. With incredible speed and 120 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:34,280 agility, the Mothman like being took to the sky, its powerful 121 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,640 wings propelling it upwards before it disappeared into the 122 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,440 night. Equally unnerving is the account 123 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,680 of the USPS worker mentioned in the introduction. 124 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,320 In September 2020, after completing a late shift, she 125 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,720 made her way to her car in the employee parking lot. 126 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,160 As she approached her vehicle, she noticed a tall, dark figure 127 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,000 standing at the far end of the lot. 128 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,160 Initially mistaking it for a person in a long coat, she 129 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,360 unlocked her car, causing the headlights to illuminate the 130 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,160 scene. To her horror, the lights 131 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,360 revealed not a human, but a towering winged creature with 132 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,360 blazing red eyes. The entity, seemingly aware of 133 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,600 her presence, unfurled its wings and began emitting a rapid 134 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,840 chirping sound, followed by a terrified screech. 135 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,120 In a display of aggression, the creature charged toward her, 136 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,440 closing the distance at an alarming rate before taking 137 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,240 flight and soaring directly overhead. 138 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,880 This clicking sound almost reminds me of some kind of a 139 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,559 reptilian behavior, something that alligators are known to do. 140 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:43,080 The young ones, you know, making it like a cry for help to like 141 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,000 the mother alligator kind of strange stuff there, it says 142 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,560 then. These two accounts, while 143 00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:52,400 undoubtedly the most dramatic, are far from isolated incidents. 144 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,840 Numerous other witnesses have come forward with their own 145 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,360 sightings, each adding a new piece to the puzzle of the 146 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,200 O'Hare Mothman. Some have reported seeing the 147 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,280 creature perched atop buildings or light poles, its red eyes 148 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,640 gleaming in the darkness. Others have described the entity 149 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,080 as having a humanoid body structure with distinctly human 150 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,680 like legs and arms in addition to its expansive wings. 151 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,240 One common thread that emerges from these accounts is the 152 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,440 Mothman's apparent awareness of an interest in its human 153 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,960 observers. Many witnesses have reported 154 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,760 feeling as though the creature was watching them intently, its 155 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,200 gaze locked on them with an unsettling intensity. 156 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,160 In some cases, the Mothman has been described as maintaining 157 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,600 direct, prolonged eye contact, as if studying or challenging 158 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,400 the witness. This behavior, coupled with the 159 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,400 creatures imposing size and otherworldly appearance has left 160 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,920 many observers feeling deeply unnerved and even threatened. 161 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,200 This prolonged eye contact almost reminds me of bird 162 00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,120 behaviour, like you might expect out of a large predator bird, 163 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,640 you know, say an eagle or a hawk or something, it says. 164 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,360 Another striking aspect of the sighting is the moth man's 165 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,600 apparent lack of fear or concerns for being spotted. 166 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,360 Unlike most animals, which tend to flee when confronted by 167 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:18,600 humans, the O'Hare Mothman seems to display a bold, almost brazen 168 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,560 demeanor. Witnesses have reported that the 169 00:10:21,560 --> 00:10:26,080 creature often makes no attempt to conceal itself, even when in 170 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,200 close proximity to people. This peculiar behavior has LED 171 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,320 some to speculate that the Mothman is not a mere animal, 172 00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:37,360 but an intelligent entity with an agenda of its own. 173 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,120 As the sightings continue to accumulate, the need for a 174 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,400 thorough investigation into the Mothman phenomenon becomes 175 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,200 increasingly apparent. While skeptics may dismiss the 176 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,400 accounts as misidentifications or hoaxes, the sheer volume and 177 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,800 consistency of the report suggests that something more 178 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,800 complex is at play. Whether the Mothman is a 179 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,880 previously unknown encrypted, a supernatural being, or 180 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,440 manifestation of some other unexplained phenomena, its 181 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,080 presence at O'Hare demands closer scrutiny. 182 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,960 It says Mothman in the Midway sightings beyond the airport 183 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,400 grounds. Now this is something too. 184 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,760 It seems like these sightings were spreading around O'Hare to 185 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,520 other parts of Chicago and even beyond Chicago a little bit, 186 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,880 which I guess we could expect with a creature that can fly, It 187 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,240 says. While the majority of the 188 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,480 Mothman sightings have occurred within the confines of O'Hare 189 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,840 International Airport, the winged enigma has not limited 190 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,600 its appearance to the aviation hub alone, where reports of 191 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,920 encounters with the creature have surfaced from various 192 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,440 locations throughout the greater Chicago area, suggesting that 193 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,040 the Mothman's experience extends far beyond the boundaries of the 194 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,440 airport. One of the most intriguing 195 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,640 sightings took place in broad daylight, a departure from 196 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,160 Mothman's typical preference for the covered darkness. 197 00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:59,240 Chicago firefighter stationed at O'Hara was taking a break on the 198 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:04,520 roof of the airport's HVAC plant when he spotted a peculiar 199 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,240 figure perched on the edge of the building. 200 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,760 The entity, described as having a humanoid body and expansive 201 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,480 wings, was staring directly at the firefighter with his 202 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,080 piercing red eyes. The two engaged in a tensed, 203 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,880 prolonged stare down, neither 1 breaking eye contact. 204 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,840 After what felt like in eternity, the Mothman casually 205 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:31,440 unfurled his wings and leapt from the rooftop, gliding away 206 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:36,000 with an air of nonchalance. That would have to be a mind 207 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,480 blowing experience to just see this thing perched on top of 208 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,680 this building. You know, several stories up 209 00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:44,360 from the sounds of it and just gliding off like some kind of a 210 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,600 humanoid bird. It says this daylight sighting, 211 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,360 while rare, serves as a reminder that the Mothman is not confined 212 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,360 to the shadows. It's brazen appearance and broad 213 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,320 daylight, coupled with its seeming indifference to being 214 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,480 observed, adds an additional layer of intrigue to the mystery 215 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,240 surrounding this winged humanoid. 216 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,360 Reports of Mothman sightings have also begun to emerge from 217 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,280 the suburbs and neighborhoods surrounding O'Hare. 218 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,840 Residents have described encounters with a large winged 219 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,760 creature in parks, near bodies of water, and even in their own 220 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,280 backyards. These sightings, well less 221 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,560 frequent than those at the airport, suggest that the moth 222 00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:27,120 managed territory extends well beyond the aviation hub. 223 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,240 Perhaps most unsettling are the rumors of widespread sightings 224 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,160 by passengers and pilots alike. Thinking this thing's flying 225 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,000 around. The airport's bad enough, but if 226 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,360 it's in the air at an altitude where the planes are at, wow. 227 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,400 While official reports are scarce, whispers among airport 228 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,000 staff suggest that the Mothman has been spotted by hundreds of 229 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,440 individuals within O'hara's terminals, concourses, and even 230 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,840 in the skies above. If these rumors are to be 231 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,000 believed, the implications are staggering. 232 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,160 The idea that a winged humanoid could be brazenly navigating the 233 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,080 airport's bustling spaces, observed by countless people, 234 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,440 raises questions about the creature's nature and its 235 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,880 tensions. For sure. 236 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,760 It also raises questions to me about the safety of this thing. 237 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,720 As the sightings continue to pour in from various locations, 238 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,560 the parallels to the Point Pleasant Mothman flap of the 239 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,640 1960s become increasingly apparent. 240 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,920 In the months leading up to the tragic collapse of the Silver 241 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,720 Bridge, Point Pleasant and the surrounding areas were inundated 242 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,720 with reports of winged and red eyed creatures. 243 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,200 That Mothman's appearance was seen by many as an omen of 244 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:43,360 impending disaster, a harbinger of the catastrophe to come. 245 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,600 Now, with the O'Hara sightings mirroring the events of Point 246 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,160 Pleasant, some have begun to speculate about the potential 247 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,840 for a similar tragedy in the Chicago area. 248 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,920 While the notion of a supernatural creature predicting 249 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:01,240 or even causing disasters may seem far fetched, the historical 250 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,880 precedent set by the Point Pleasant case lends an error of 251 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,680 unease to the current situation. As the Mothman continues to be 252 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,280 spotted in and around O'Hara, the question on everyone's mind 253 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,560 is what does this presence portend in the Is the creature a 254 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,200 benevolent guardian watching over the airport and its 255 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,680 inhabitants? Or is it a malevolent force, a 256 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,520 harbinger of some impending calamity? 257 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,320 The answers remain elusive, but one thing is certain. 258 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:31,680 The Mothman's presence has cast a pall of mystery and foreboding 259 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,240 over the Windy City. Yeah, maybe it's just passing 260 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,000 through, too. I mean, I don't know. 261 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,120 It could, you know, good, bad or indifferent. 262 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,880 Maybe this thing is just indifferent. 263 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,800 The idea that it's looking at people. 264 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,480 I mean, is it observing people? Is it trying to make contact 265 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,360 with them? I don't know, goes on and says. 266 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,920 As the sightings of the O'Hara Mothman continue to accumulate, 267 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,960 theories and speculations about the creatures, nature, and 268 00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:00,120 origins have run rampant. From prosaic explanations to 269 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,840 otherworldly hypothesis, the Mothman has become a subject of 270 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,480 intense debate and fascination among skeptics, believers, and 271 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,680 everyone in between. One of the most common theories 272 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,680 put forth by skeptics is that the sightings can be attributed 273 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,000 to misidentification of known animals. 274 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,200 Large birds such as herons or cranes have been suggested as 275 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,600 potential culprits, their size and silhouette potentially 276 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,560 mistaken for a humanoid figure in the low light conditions 277 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,200 often associated with Mothman encounters. 278 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:36,200 Some have even proposed that the sightings could be the result of 279 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,040 elaborate hoaxes, with pranksters donning costumes or 280 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,360 using drones to create the illusion of a winged creature. 281 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,920 Oh boy, now that's a stretch. However, these explanations fail 282 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,480 to account for the consistency and specificity of the witness's 283 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,360 descriptions. The Mothman is consistently 284 00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:02,200 portrayed as a bipedal humanoid entity with glowing red eyes and 285 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,560 expansive wings, a far cry from the appearance of any known bird 286 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,359 species. Moreover, the idea of a 287 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,599 coordinated hoax spanning years and involving multiple 288 00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:16,000 independent witnesses seems implausible at best. 289 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,000 We hear the same thing with the cattle mutilations. 290 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,160 Oh, what's the satanic cow tippers out there just punking 291 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:24,960 us with all these cattle mutilations? 292 00:17:25,599 --> 00:17:28,840 I think it would be pretty hard to keep this Mothman hoax going 293 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:34,000 for 60 years or better now. Another theory that has gained 294 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,600 traction among cryptozoology enthusiasts is a possibility 295 00:17:38,360 --> 00:17:41,360 that the Mothman represents an undiscovered species. 296 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,400 Proponents of this idea suggest that the creature could be a 297 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,560 previously unknown type of large bat or Avi encrypted, one that 298 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,800 has managed to evade scientific documentation and 299 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,480 classification. The Mothman has reported size, 300 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,440 wingspan, inability to fly, but certainly make it an anomaly 301 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:03,520 among known fauna, leading credence to the idea of a novel 302 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,520 species. Yeah, I think that's a stretch. 303 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,040 I think this is some kind of interdimensional thing myself. 304 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,400 However, the notion of an undiscovered creature of such 305 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,120 proportion living undetected in the heavily populated Chicago 306 00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:17,240 area? Strange credulity. 307 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,280 With the extensive surveillance and monitoring systems in place 308 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,040 at O'Hare and the surrounding regions, it seems unlikely that 309 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,800 a large flying humanoid would escape detection for so long, 310 00:18:28,120 --> 00:18:30,280 and it seems pretty much impossible to me. 311 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,160 This has LED some researchers to propose some unconventional 312 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,520 explanations for the Mothman phenomena. 313 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,600 One such theory posits that the creature could be a paranormal 314 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,920 or in dimensional entity capable of manifesting in our reality at 315 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,840 will. This idea, while far fetched, 316 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,400 would account for the Mothman's ability to appear and disappear 317 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,960 seemingly at random, as well as its apparent immunity to 318 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,920 physical constraints. Well, actually I don't find this 319 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,080 far fetched at all. I mean, it kind of seems like 320 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,240 the obvious choice to me. Supporters of this theory often 321 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,000 point to Mothman's alleged appearance before major 322 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,400 disasters such as a Silver Bridge collapse and Point 323 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,800 Pleasant as evidence of a supernatural nature. 324 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,840 They argue that the creature's presence could be a warning or 325 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,200 omen of impending calamity and manifestation of some higher 326 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,840 power cosmic force. Another trigging hypothesis 327 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,680 suggests that Mothman could be an extraterrestrial, being an 328 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,960 alien entity visiting our rule for purposes unknown. 329 00:19:30,360 --> 00:19:33,200 This theory, while highly speculative, has gained some 330 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,360 traction due to the frequent reports of UFO activity and the 331 00:19:36,360 --> 00:19:40,760 vicinity of Mothman sightings. Some researchers have even 332 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,400 suggested that the Mothman could be a sort of scout or emissary 333 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,520 for an alien race sent to observe and monitor human 334 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,760 activity. I've thought about that myself, 335 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,840 and I think this could also be a similar explanation for Bigfoot. 336 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,360 Actually goes on and says while these paranormal and 337 00:19:58,360 --> 00:20:01,920 extraterrestrial theories are certainly intriguing, they lack 338 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,200 the concrete evidence needed to elevate them beyond the realm of 339 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,800 speculation. Without tangible proof such as a 340 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,080 clear photograph, videos, or physical remains, these ideas 341 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,000 remain firmly in the domain of conjecture. 342 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,200 You're going to have a hard time writing that off as proof with 343 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:19,720 the photograph. I mean, that might be evidence, 344 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,840 but with the AI we have today, it's going to be really hard for 345 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,600 anybody to believe this just based on a picture, I think. 346 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:27,840 Then it finishes up here it says. 347 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:32,480 Ultimately, the true nature of the O'Hare Mothman remains a 348 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,400 mystery. Whether it is a flashed and 349 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,200 blood creature, a paranormal entity, or something else 350 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,520 entirely, this winged humanoid continues to captivate and 351 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,880 unsettle those who encounter it. As a sighting persist and the 352 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,760 theories multiply, the search for answers only intensifies. 353 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,240 Yeah, there have been a lot of cool sightings. 354 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,520 I want to take a little bit further look into this. 355 00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,200 It'll be talking about this really strange O'Hare Mothman. 356 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,160 Now. I found this other short article 357 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:08,120 over at q9085online.com. It's a radio station there. 358 00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:12,760 I had a Rockford, IL title says terrifying red eyed wind 359 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,720 creature spotted again at one Illinois airport. 360 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:24,640 Written by Little Little Zim Lil Zim dated August 11th, 2023 A 361 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,320 Chicago fireman stationed at O'Hare International Airport 362 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,800 recently reported a terrifying encounter with Illinois infamous 363 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,680 Mothman. And then it goes on. 364 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,680 Yeah, it's weird, you know, just just stop and think about this. 365 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:42,080 This is the fireman who's seen this thing and then put his 366 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,080 reputation on the line by reporting it. 367 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:45,440 I mean, that means something to me. 368 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:50,040 If you've never heard any tales about Mothman, AKA Batman, let's 369 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,920 get you up to speed, She says. Mothman is a winged creature 370 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,520 that is said to have the body of a man and the wings of a moth. 371 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,200 It is often described as being tall and lanky, with glorying 372 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,680 red eyes and a wingspan up to 10 feet. 373 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,440 According to legend, the Mothman is a harbinger of doom, 374 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:10,040 appearing before tragic events such as a natural disaster or a 375 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,960 plane crash. While Mothman sightings are not 376 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,960 unique to Illinois, many reports of sightings happen here, and a 377 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,720 lot of them center around O'Hare International Airport in 378 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,600 Chicago. And then it has. 379 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:26,360 An article actually taken from Singular 14 Society reports that 380 00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:30,400 an anonymous Chicago fireman who has been stationed at O'Hare 381 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,520 International Airport for the last seven years recently 382 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,920 experienced something he has never seen before on the job. 383 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,560 And then it says here, December 29th, 2022, around 11:00 PM, 384 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,160 this fireman said, I heard what I heard, what sounded like a 385 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,280 tripping sound followed by what sounded like shuffling coming 386 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,280 from nearby. I looked around and that's when 387 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,920 I heard the clicking coming from across the street. 388 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:58,480 I looked up and standing on the edge of the HVAC plant was a 389 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,760 very tall, thin human like creature with huge wings that 390 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,240 were spread out. This creature was looking 391 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,440 directly at me with a pair of large red eyes that had the 392 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,920 intensity of a pair of tail lights. 393 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,520 The fireman went on to say that the wings on this creature were 394 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,600 like 15 feet in length and that the stare down took place for 395 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,800 about 5 to 7 seconds before it flapped its wings, flew away and 396 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,800 completely disappeared. When the fireman went to tell 397 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,760 his Co workers what he had just seen quote, a few of them spoke 398 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,840 up and said that this was not the first time it had been seen 399 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,880 and that it had been seen around the HVAC plant a few times by 400 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,440 people and around the airport by hundreds of employees, 401 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:46,080 passengers and pilots. Wow, that is really crazy. 402 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,280 Isn't that wild? It's impressive to me that this 403 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:52,760 fireman had this experience and then had the courage to report 404 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,240 this thing. Let's take a look at another 405 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,960 article here. Now I found a pretty cool video 406 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,280 of it, Reddit. It's about 8 minutes long. 407 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,640 It was posted five years ago, but I'll put the link at the 408 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,000 Kofi site. As always, thanks to the folks 409 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,440 that support the program over there. 410 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:12,160 Now, it tells us that over 100 different sightings of flying 411 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,560 winged humanoids had been reported in Chicago in the 412 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,040 previous two years, which is a lot to me. 413 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,200 It says at least two accounts came from police officers who 414 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:26,200 corroborated these encounters. The common characteristics of 415 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,960 what people were saying, they said the creature is 7 to 9 feet 416 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:35,920 tall, that it has these red or orange, very bright glowing 417 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:41,400 eyes, that it's dark black, it walks on two feet, that it has 418 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,640 these membrane, that it has these membrane like wings 419 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:50,280 attached to its back. Very distinctive looking thing. 420 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,040 Now they say the phenomena is known as Chicago Mothman, but 421 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,800 it's also called by a lot of people the O'Hare Mothman 422 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,080 because there's been so many reports of these things spotted 423 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,160 around O'Hare National Airport there in Chicago. 424 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,760 And of course we all know this Mothman goes clear back to 425 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:13,880 pleasant West Virginia back in the 1967 mid 1960s. 426 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:21,760 Now there was a report made to a 911 on February 28th, 2019, in 427 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,480 the early morning hours of one of these Mothman sightings. 428 00:25:26,120 --> 00:25:29,360 The file shows the witness saw something large walking in the 429 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,560 county fairgrounds near Jewel Osco in Woodstock, IL. 430 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:38,280 It says 60 miles northwest of Chicago, the witness reported 431 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,200 hearing a screeching noise, again noting it was walking 432 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,560 upright. It said it looked like a 7 or 8 433 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,880 foot tall person. 1/2 hour later, the responding deputy 434 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,840 sheriff wrote the following and then they redacted says redacted 435 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:58,080 had a sighting of a mysterious creature wearing all black. 436 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,000 Redacted said the creature charged at him from the 437 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,120 fairgrounds screeching at him while he was in the Jewel 438 00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:07,800 parking lot, and then it retreated. 439 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,400 The officer wrote the investigation will continue. 440 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,640 The file was obtained through a Freedom of Information Act 441 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,680 request by the Singular 14. So here you see, we have this 442 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,280 sighting and somebody has to file basically a FOIA request to 443 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,840 get to it. I mean, this is madding to me. 444 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,640 I did think it's interesting though, that this thing once 445 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,520 again is seen as charging at somebody. 446 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,120 So it's, I don't know, it's using these kind of pretty 447 00:26:32,120 --> 00:26:35,080 aggressive, actually false charges at people. 448 00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:38,360 And I couldn't even imagine how terrified somebody might be 449 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,360 going through something so crazy as that. 450 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,600 Six days earlier, a different window saw something run across 451 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:50,440 the road a few blocks away. He said it was 8 to 9 feet tall 452 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,040 and looked leathery. Investigative journalist John 453 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,600 Strickler spoke to the man who said he thought it may have been 454 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,840 a Bigfoot initially, but then noticed that it had a large set 455 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:05,200 of membrane wings. Oh man attached to the back, 456 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,360 extending over the top of its head. 457 00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:10,920 The arms and legs were well, were well defined. 458 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,680 Both sightings were near the Dewfield Pond Conservation Area 459 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:19,560 1 of many conservation parks in Chicago's northern suburbs. 460 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,600 Strickler has mapped dozens of sightings inside Chicago city 461 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,640 limits. Perhaps the most convincing 462 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,040 comes from a Chicago PD officer who wished to remained anonymous 463 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,600 to protect his career. I have been with the Chicago 464 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,360 Police Department for over 8 1/2 years, he writes in an account 465 00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:37,760 later documented by the Chicago Tribune. 466 00:27:38,360 --> 00:27:41,600 The only people who know that I have submitted this are my wife 467 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:46,200 and my son who encouraged me to submit this, and my partner who 468 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,520 also was a witness to this event. 469 00:27:50,360 --> 00:27:54,720 On the night of June 29th, 2017, at approximately 11:15 PM, my 470 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,320 partner and I were on a routine patrol and approaching the 471 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,640 intersection West of 81st and South through in the urban 472 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,400 Gresham neighborhood. We were flagged down by a group 473 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,600 of people who were pointing up to the top of an apartment 474 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,840 building on the corner. We pulled over and they 475 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,320 immediately started telling us to look up. 476 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:17,000 My partner and I look and see a large creature approximately 6 477 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,280 1/2 feet tall and was very thin. If it had been if a human it 478 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,720 would have been emaciated. The thing was standing on top of 479 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:29,680 the building and had what looked like a pair of very large wings 480 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,200 that extended out at least eight to 10 feet from tip to tip. 481 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:38,320 No discernible features, it just looked like a dark black shadow 482 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,880 with wings. When the officers shown their 483 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,280 flashlights on it to get a better look, it took off into 484 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,920 the air and flew away. As it headed South from the 485 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,360 area, something sounding like a scream came from it, and in a 486 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,760 matter of about 5 seconds it was gone. 487 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,640 Other witnesses interviewed by the officers said they'd seen it 488 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,800 over the previous two nights. The officer writes he and his 489 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,920 partner filed a report, but they got no unusual response from 490 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,920 headquarters. Investigative journalists have 491 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,240 been unable to obtain the file. That's no surprise there. 492 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,280 The police reports on these things. 493 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,080 What really interests the police officers? 494 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,040 They're considered a reliable witness. 495 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,920 And when you have police officers seeing these cryptids 496 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,200 like this Mothman there in Chicago, that's really puzzling 497 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,560 to me. Let's take a look at one last 498 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,200 article and wrap this up. This last article details this 499 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,840 postal workers experience and gets a little more detailed 500 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,800 recounting on what happened. This is from the singular 501 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,840 14.com. It says UPS Employee Reports 7 502 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,400 foot tall, red eyed Creature at O'Hare International Airport By 503 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:45,280 Tobias and Emily Whelan October 13th, 2020 Manuel Navarrette of 504 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,680 UFO Clearinghouse recently received the following report 505 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,960 from a woman who said she'd seen a 7 foot tall red eyed creature 506 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,600 after leaving work at the United States Postal Service sorting 507 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,880 facility in Chicago's O'Hare International Airport at around 508 00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:03,000 11:00 PM Thursday, September 24th. 509 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,440 He starts by saying I had just left work at the USPS sorting 510 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,520 facility at O'Hare at around 11:00 PM Thursday on the 24th of 511 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,760 September and was walking out to my car when I saw something 512 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,320 standing at the far end of the parking lot where I usually 513 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,640 park. At first I thought it was a very 514 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,360 tall person with a long coat. As I got closer to my car, I 515 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,080 unlocked my car which caused my headlights to come on. 516 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:29,120 My headlights hit the person standing about 20 to 25 feet 517 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,400 from my car causing it to turn and look right at me. 518 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,200 I saw that this was not some person but some red eyed 519 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:40,160 creature and that would appear to be a coat or actually wings 520 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,000 which it spread out as it turned to look at me. 521 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,560 At first I thought it was some kind of a very very large bird 522 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,800 but I've never seen any bird that stood almost 7 feet tall. 523 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,680 I'm 5 foot four and this thing looked taller than me but at 524 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,880 least by two feet. This thing then started making 525 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,800 some type of chirping sound, almost 1/2 chirp and then a half 526 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,360 click like someone was clicking their tongue but much faster. 527 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,880 It then made some type of screeching sound and took off 528 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,640 running toward me. It got to within 10 feet of me 529 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,560 and took off into the air and flew above me. 530 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:19,080 I was screaming hysterically as I crouched down behind my car's 531 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:23,000 open door and I dived into my car head first. 532 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,360 I was in a near panic as I tried to start the car, close and lock 533 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,880 the doors and turn out my interior lights. 534 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,720 I started my car and took off out of the parking lot and flew 535 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,880 down the road till I hit the main road. 536 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,080 I got home and told my husband who also works at the same 537 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,840 facility and he was the one who told me about the sightings of 538 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,840 this thing. I was scared and hoped I never 539 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,360 see this thing again. This thing is roaming around the 540 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,960 area scaring people half to death. 541 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,600 I hope the airport people decide to do something about this thing 542 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,800 someday. Well, that is something that I 543 00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,760 wouldn't exactly count on myself now. 544 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,960 The investigator, Manuel Navarrett, was able to meet with 545 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,640 the witness to discuss her sightings and says although she 546 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,360 was at first reluctant to discuss the issues after the 547 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,440 initial report. And I could imagine that. 548 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,760 According to Navarrett, the witness is a 17 year veteran of 549 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,840 the United States Postal Service and has worked at the O'Hara 550 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,160 sorting facility for the last 15 years. 551 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,240 She advised that on the night in question she was walking toward 552 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,480 her car after her shift ended and was checking her text 553 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,080 messages on her phone as she made the familiar walk through 554 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,200 her vehicle. I asked her if there were other 555 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,840 people around, to which she responded no, as most of the 556 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,520 other employees leave right at shift change and she usually 557 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,920 sticks around to take care of the transition. 558 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,800 As the witness walked to the car, she noticed what looked 559 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:50,120 like a very tall man at the very far end of the parking lot that 560 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,400 she recently thought was one of her fellow Co workers. 561 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,520 She continued as she walked toward the car. 562 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,560 She deactivated the car alarm which automatically turned on 563 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,480 the car headlights. The headlights illuminated the 564 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,400 person at the other end of the parking lot and it turned toward 565 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:08,080 her, revealing a pair of bright red eyes and it spread what 566 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:09,960 looked like a giant pair of wings. 567 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,200 When asked how big the wings were, she could not give me a 568 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,160 definitive answer, but guesstimated that they must have 569 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:20,760 been between 11:50 feet across. The being then began making a 570 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,480 series of clicking noises, which she described as a cross between 571 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,960 a click and a chirping sound. The being then let out a loud 572 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,600 metallic screech that she described to me as sounding like 573 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,640 the brakes on a large truck or train. 574 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,440 Then, said Navarrette, the witness described how it began 575 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:42,040 running toward her in these very long strides, at which point it 576 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,720 took off into the air. When I asked her to describe the 577 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,760 being and how it looked or flew, she said she did not look up as 578 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,200 she was too busy flinging in the car door open and diving into 579 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,040 her car while screaming. The witness stated that she 580 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,560 started her car and turned on and turned on the interior 581 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,560 lights, all while trying to keep her wits about her. 582 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:07,000 When I asked her if she saw which way the creature flew 583 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,040 away, she advised that she didn't care where it flew off to 584 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,239 and she was not going to stick around to find out. 585 00:34:12,639 --> 00:34:15,639 The witness advised that she left the area in a hurry and did 586 00:34:15,639 --> 00:34:19,120 not slow down, that she had left the area and had joined the main 587 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,639 road and traffic. The sound described by the 588 00:34:21,639 --> 00:34:24,000 witnesses similar to that reported by a witness in 589 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:28,520 Rockford near Hedgewick Park and on the northern end of Northerly 590 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,760 Island in Chicago, and another encounter near O'Hare. 591 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,199 The witnesses in those incidents said they heard a sound like 592 00:34:35,199 --> 00:34:38,480 screeching breaks during or prior to their sightings. 593 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,800 O'Hare International Airport has been the epicenter of recent 594 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,719 winged humanoid sightings in the Lake MI Mothman investigation, 595 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,560 with at least 10 sightings coming from the airport itself 596 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:54,199 since August of 2019 and many more reported in the surrounding 597 00:34:54,199 --> 00:34:56,840 communities. This report constitutes the 598 00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,480 latest news and a string of Mothman sightings from within a 599 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:05,000 few 100 mile radius surrounding Lake MI, including every state 600 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,800 bordering the Great Lakes. These sightings substantially 601 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,400 began in the spring of 2017, but more historical accounts are 602 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,240 being reported as more people become aware of the phenomena. 603 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,880 They generally take place in the evening or at night often or 604 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,000 near a park or natural area, and around water. 605 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:25,080 Witnesses consistently describe a large Gray or black bat or 606 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,000 bird like creature, although in a small number of cases the 607 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,240 creature was described as insect like. 608 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,440 Sometimes the glowing or reflective red, yellow, green or 609 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:37,320 orange eyes and the humanoid features such as arms and legs 610 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,160 are often reported. Some witnesses have reported 611 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,480 feeling intense fear and an aura of evil emanating from the 612 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,840 creatures they have encountered. Many of the sightings are also 613 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,480 something seen only briefly, or are described only as a flying 614 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,760 creature with few details, which leaves open the possibility that 615 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,000 it misidentified large bird such as a Heron or crane, or some 616 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,160 type of anonymous avian species could explain some, although 617 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:02,800 certainly not all, of the encounters. 618 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,560 A number of associated high, strange incidents have also 619 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,600 occurred alongside the creature sightings, including reports of 620 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:13,040 UFOs or other anonymous flying creatures and mysterious 621 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,320 humanoids, parapsychological phenomena, and bizarre events 622 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,880 experienced by those investigating the sightings. 623 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,720 Wow, that's some wild stuff. I just love these humanoid 624 00:36:22,720 --> 00:36:25,240 sightings. They're fun to read and the fact 625 00:36:25,240 --> 00:36:27,520 that we have such a variety of people reporting them people it 626 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,240 would seem like normal, reliable witnesses. 627 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,480 Let me know what you think in the comments sections. 628 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,440 Until next time, this is UFO warning over and out.
