Encounter with strange winged creature

by: Albert S. Rosales




Location: Kansas City, Missouri

Date: August 4, 2020, Time: 20:40

63-year-old Richard Frieburg was out watering his tomato plants in the garden when he heard an odd scream-like noise with a duration of 5-8 seconds. It sounded human like, so he assumed it was kids playing across the street and did not think much of it. Then he heard another strange, horrible scream, then two more. At that point he imagined that someone was mistreating a dog and tried to pinpoint where the sound was coming from. Richard then realized that the sound was coming from a large pin oak tree just outside the fence in his yard and looked up. Even though it was getting dark he could make out the shape of something sitting on a branch.

At that moment, the creature unfurled its wings in an awkward way. It appeared to have elbows that were joined and when the wings, which had no feathers, were extended they appeared like bat wings. The creature had a thin tapered body which measured approximately three to four feet tall and had a wingspan of approximately five to six feet. The witness did not see the eyes of the creature, which flew off to the east towards Wornall road. Instead of running after it to get a better look, Richard just stood there as if he were paralyzed for a few seconds while the creature flew out of sight. He could not explain why he reacted in that manner and still does not understand it. Richard said that normally he would have followed the creature in order to find out what it was. Richard said that the creature neither looked nor sounded like an owl or other large bird.

Mr. Frieburg related to the investigator/source that he has had UFO experiences beginning at a young age. This may be significant and could explain the temporary paralysis.
