Bird man with silver wings attached over shoulders with strap, ascended rapidly, hovered over barn, banked, flew on. Appeared to be manipulating controls strapped to his chest. Flew in upright position.

Monster seen. An unidentified object at close range and its occupants were observed by one female witness in a yard for over four minutes (Zaikowski, B). A whizzing sound was heard. One humanoid was seen.

Mrs Bernice Zaikowski, hearing a "sizzling and whizzing," sound, looked up to see a "birdman" 200 ft above her barn. She saw "a man equipped with long silver wings fastened over the shoulders with a strap" ascend rapidly, hover, bank, then fly on. "He flew in an upright position and appeared to be manipulating controls strapped to his chest." The wings did not flap; they retracted close to his body during ascent, and then were extended to hover and proceed in level flight. Mrs Zaikowski said 5 other adult witnesses and a number of children had also seen the birdman.
