    Mothman-like entity seen near truck stop on Illinois/Wisconsin border -- Sott.net

    I was driving home on 94 headed back home. I pulled in to the TA truck stop to get something to drink and something to eat before finishing my trip home. It was about 11:30 p.m. when I left the store and got in my car, as I was pulling out of the parking lot to get onto the Interstate I noticed what looks like large person standing to the side of the road. This thing looks right at me with very bright red eyes and then opened a huge pair of wings and started to fly off like some kind of big bat. The whole #### thing took less than 5 seconds but I know what I saw and it look like a giant, skinny man with a large pair of wings and red eyes. I'm not sure what to tell you that it was, but I can assure you it's something I've never seen on the Discovery Channel before.

    Back in the early 80's I used to have UFO"s chase me between El Paso and San Antonio.

    Those ######## caught me one night in '81 at I-10 TX mm 210. but that's a story for another time but suffice it to say, much of who and what I am today was a result of that night.

    I think they got me once. First think I knew i was at a 76 on Rankin Road in Houston. I was sure there is no place like that on earth.

    I know. Same deal. Lots of time lost. They cut me lose about half way between Comfort and Boerne and sore and hurting all over. Sounds like your encounter (procedure) was more extensive than mine.

    As soon as I read the witness was an "Industrial Welder" the whole story made a lot more sense.
