The article references many cases of flying humanoids, going back to the 1800s.

This sighting is particularly intriguing to me:

“Bird People” Early 1950’s Brazil: A couple report seeing what they thought at first were two large “birds”. After the “birds” landed nearby, the couple were able to ascertain that they were actually people with wings, both a male and a female. After realizing they were not alone, the bird-people attempted to conceal themselves. When this failed to work, the two simply flew away.

As you’ll find when you read the article, these kinds of sightings have occurred all over the world.

JET PACKS
Someone left a comment on the blog about “jet packs” as a possible explanation for these sightings. I remember, back in the 1970s, an encounter with a jet pack flying man. We were hanging out in Bronson Park/Caves (Los Angeles, California) and came upon a film crew; they were filming a commercial. Here we were, minding our own business, hiking around, and suddenly there’s a very intense angry man scrabbling through the brush, yelling at us to “get out and keep quiet,” etc. After all, can’t we see they’re filming a TV commercial? We hung around awhile and watched through the bushes while the actor tried to get more than a few inches off the ground in this jet pack thing. It wasn’t very exciting; we got bored and left after a short time.

Can Mothman be a “birdman?” He/it is humanoid, with wings.

Mothman isn’t the only one of its kind; birdmen, or winged figures, have been around for centuries. As Andrew Colvin discusses quite a bit in his books on Mothman; the Garuda, for example. Neither has Mothman been reserved just for West Virginia; winged humanoids have been seen in Washington state, across the country, all over.

As you may recall, “Beyond The Grassy Knoll” has risen - like a phoenix - from the ashes. Vyz has been kind enough to keep the Mothy ball rolling. Mothman interviews 28 and 29 (which run together) are now up here:

These shows cover conspiratorial events in recent weeks, revealing how mass mind control works, and how the Mothman phenomenon aims to counter that process. They will be totally downloadable in one week. Speaking of which, you can download interviews 26 and 27 here:

Click in the “April 13th” section for those, and in the “March 21st” section for interview 25. FYI, Moth-friend Harriet Plumbrook has an interview in the “March 30th” section where she discusses our elementary school in Mound, WV.

Another friend, Regan Lee, has started an interesting blog on Mothman, where she discusses how reading my Mothman’s Photographer II book triggered a series of Mothman dreams and synchronicities:

Don’t forget to check my blog occasionally, as I have begun posting again after a year layoff (to edit Mothman III). What could be more
fun than exposing shills for the guvmint’s mil-oil-tary!

Lastly, my article in Paranoia Magazine #47 has finally hit the stands, forcing said mil-shills to rat-a-tat on their computer keys in an attempt to spin Mothman as “evil.”

P.S. Just for kicks, here’s a couple of photos from a local school that adjoins a Catholic church built on sacred ground. The first one is of tilework - in progress - showing a Middle Eastern birdman much like the one that appeared when we were creating the DVD cover art for The Mothman’s Photographer reality series. The second one is a statue that looks very much like the ancient Hindu statues of the Garuda carrying Vishnu (see example).
