There's a pretty interesting article on the front page of Book of THoTH today attempting to debunk the idea that the mothman sightings of '66 and '67 were merely bird sightings. The article's by Robert A. Goerman and certainly makes some good points. Goerman takes on the idea that over 100 people mistook a sandhill crane for a "winged creature that stood taller and broader than a man, walked on humanlike legs, took off straight up like a helicopter, chased cars, and emitted humming and squeaking sounds..[with] red glowing eyes, set into the shoulders, [which] seem to have been more terrifying than either the size of the creature or ten-foot-plus span of its wings."

Aw geez...weather balloons? Give me a break. Owls? Cranes? Same reaction.

What I find interesting, is that not only was the Mothman seen in Point Pleasant before the Silver Bridge collapse, but was also seen many years before down here in Galveston, TX, not long before the hurricane of 1900 that all but decimated the entire island.

Sounds a lot like the typical UFO debunking, doesn't it? Funny how weather balloons get mistaken for so many things. ;-)
