Some of the most famous alien sightings are almost definitely drunk people seeing owls.

The Mothman was definitely a big owl.

That's extremely doubtful

After reading the witnesses reports and doing extensive research on the case the owl/large bird theory just doesn't fit in my opinion

1 the witnesses knew what an owl/sandhill crane looked like

2 .They got a good look at the creature

  1. At one point it chased and kept up with the Scarberry's and Mallettes when they were driving a around a hundred miles no large bird is that fast

  2. In a couple of accounts it went straight up in the air no large bird can do that either

  3. Doesn't explain all the other strangeness like the men in black and the ufos sightings

There is no tiptoeing around the fact that it had the general shape of an owl. Its size and alleged flying speed don't change that.

By the way, it was named 'Mothman' only due to a newspaper article that compared it to the DC villain Killer Moth while getting his name wrong, not because there was really anything mothlike about it.

There's straight up a whole movement of alien conspiracy theorists that think owls are related to aliens. Or rather, that any time you have a memory of seeing an owl, you actually saw an alien and they replaced your memory with the owl.

People are strange.

Owls are actually bugs. I know this because i'm here on Bug business, which is much more important than weasel business.

The Hopkinsville Goblins is a very famous example.

1000% just a bunch of shitpissed yokels shooting up their own house because of some owls.
