Hialeah Gardens, Florida, USA
An unidentifiable object and its occupants were observed at close range.
During a rash of strange animal mutilations in the area, Rafael Moreno was looking for his lost goats, he penetrated the Everglades. He saw resting on top a tree was a black bird, bigger than an eagle, with seven-foot wings. The bird flew over, landing on the ground behind him, with unknown intentions. Moreno, upon turning to shoot, since he went armed, saw how the animal folded up its wings in a second, and rapidly left, running out of sight. In spite of the aggressive behavior of this bizarre bird, Moreno holds it was not the predator.
