I have seen this creature twice, and at completely different locations. Others with me have witnessed it as well, but for two years now I have not been able to find anything on the internet as to what it might be. I assume it's a bird or owl. Both sightings have been around water. One instance was while boating on Bull Shoals Lake in Arkansas. While sitting in the boat a few hundred yards from shore, we watched this bird fly back and forth along the shore-line. The other sighting was near the Current River, just a few miles downstream from the Montauk trout park (MO). This time we watched it from high atop a bluff while it was flying along the far side of a hollow, about 400 yards away. As the title would imply, these were watched at night. The bird emitted a green glow, much the same color as a firefly. It would cover a distance of ~600 yards in far less than a minute, but I wasn't timing it. Frankly, we sat there in amazement, wondering what we were watching. We watched it ofr more than 15 minutes this time. It is most defiantly the size of a bird. Again, being that it was watched in the dark, it's hard to say whether it was the size of a black bird or a hawk. Additionally, the glow might throw off whatever estimate I could give. But again, the distance it covered, and the distance we observed it from totally rules out some kind of large insect, not to mention the flight mannerisms were most defiantly that of a bird, and the wings could be seen flapping, although the glow from them was less than from the body. Another friend has seen the same thing, also on Bull Shoals, but he has no idea what it is either. Anyone have an idea of what this is?
