Rupert, Idaho A Very Unusual Sighting

Posted: January 13, 2008

HBCC UFO Research Note: This report is really unusual, but with so many strange things happening in the world these days I thought I would post the story. I could not even begin to guess what this would have been, or I should say what might have caused the heads of the birds to shine, just an unusual sighting.

Date: September ?, 2005 Time: Approx: 3:00 a.m.

I couldn't sleep a few nights ago. I finally got up around 3:00 am. I like to look out our back window at the eastern sky at night, so I pulled back the curtains and looked around. Our night light is about 35 feet from the SE corner of our house and there is a heavy electric wire that is strung from the light pole north a few yards to our pump house (farm). Suddenly a large bird flew from the west and sat on that wire.

It landed with it's back to me and as it turned it's head, the face was looked shiny. I could see only the sides as it turned it's head. I got the binoculars and studied it. The face was shiny like it had internal light.

Suddenly a huge shadow floated over the lawn and another bird landed on the wire. It turned it's head right and left and it too shined on both sides of it's head. I was positive they were owls until I noticed that the left sides of the heads shone even turned away from the night light. And the heads weren't large like owls heads, more like regular bird heads, and there were no hooting sounds like owls. We hear them hoot at night.

One bird flew toward the east and the other flew north past the house. One of our cats was meowing at the back door to come in. As I turned to step a couple of steps to let the cat in, a huge form sped out of the dark, east of the house and over the house. The feathers on the bottom of it were similar to an owl's but it's wing spread looked different and it didn't flap it's wings. It moved so fast that by the time I realized it was there, the head of just over the edge of the roof.

Thank you to the eyewitness for the interesting report.
