Excerpts From Chapter Five
Page 71:
According to F. F. Silcock (author of a book about
the Min Min light of Australia) flying lights can be
closer than they seem. If that were true with the
sighting by DU, it would explain how the creature
flew so fast while gliding: It was not really flying so
fast. Regardless, a fast glide (or apparent fast glide)
differs from the wandering flutter of a hunting owl,
and the on-off cycle differs from the steady glow of
a Min Min owl. It is strange.

In August of 2008, I received another email from
the professor: “During the short expedition I led
with the O’Donnells, mid-July, we saw three hours of
bioluminescent ‘shooting stars.’ The last hour was
the most interesting in that there were two light
blasts about 200 ft. apart, about 50-100 ft., above
the river. The blasts were followed by screeches
from about a dozen or so agitated nighthawks in the
general area. I think the Rhamphorhynchoids, if that
is what they were, were feeding on the nighthawks
as the nighthawks were feeding on the flying
insects. Bats were also common, but they were fast,
made sharp turns, and were relatively small.”
