Flying Ray-Shaped Creatures Over Texas

Lon Stickler reports on an unknown winged creature witnessed by a Texan couple living in Atascocita who relayed to him their encounter as follows:&quot;My husband &amp;amp; I were grilling out in our backyard one Sunday afternoon approx. 5pm a month ago (original post is May 18th, 2013), when a pacific blue (in color)stingray looking bird flew over our home. Must of been 1&amp;#160;1/2 - 2&amp;#8217; in length and width.We were actually sitting and conversating when it caught our attention. It looked down at us and continued flying. We live in Atascocita, TX. We were in shock as we&amp;#8217;ve never seen anything like it before. We both looked at each other and a couple seconds later asked &amp;#8220;what the heck was that?&amp;#8221;It disappeared into trees and have not seen it since.&amp;#8221;
Lon also notes that this location is near a large body of water, similar to another incident in Laredo (Lake Casa Blanca). The second sighting of a flying ray-shaped cryptid in Texas in 2013 in Laredo is recorded:&quot;I was driving home to my house at 1:20PM when I came across this stingray grayish-white looking thing flying over my car - coming from the lake we have here in Laredo, Texas going into the golf course next to it. It was roughly 3 feet wide - maybe bigger and it had a glide to it - no wings, just looked like a stingray - literally. It passed about 30 ft. in front of me and I watched it for about 10 seconds. It looked as if it was swimming, but flying. What could this creature be? I&amp;#8217;m kinda freaked out by this. I jumped on the internet as soon as I got home and thank gosh, I&amp;#8217;m not the only one. AR&amp;#8221;Lon then contacted the witness for further information which he added to the initial report. This was the first flying ray-shaped cryptid report that Lon had received from Texas. It seems the sighting was between the Casa Blanca Country Club and Lake Casa Blanca located in east Laredo, TX. The witness was driving north / northest on Rt. 20. After doing some research, I found a report from 2010 posted at The Examiner entitled &amp;#8220;Texas witness reports &amp;#8216;bird formation&amp;#8217; disappearing and reappearing in clear sky.&amp;#8221;It stated that a Texas witness traveling near McAllen had watched an odd &amp;#8220;formation of birds&amp;#8221; that was &amp;#8220;in a perfect arrow shape&amp;#8221; with a wide wing span and &amp;#8220;string ray body&quot; that seemed to disappear and reappear in the sky, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.The objects were below cloud level on a &amp;#8220;beautiful clear day,&amp;#8221; and the witness questioned exactly what they were and how they could disappear and reappear.McAllen is the largest city in Hidalgo County, Texas.The following is the unedited report filed with MUFON:TX, March 29, 2009 - sting ray like looking birds in an arrow formation/disappear, reappear, and dissappear again. MUFON Case # 22152.&quot;I had just flown in from Dallas to Harlingen, landed after 12 noon. I drove back with a friend and her husband to Mcallen, my home town. Before Mcallen, we drove through Pharr Texas. I was in the back seat, and I happened to look up.I noticed, and not too high from the sky, a formation of birds, in an arrow shape, the way your normal birds migrate, but these were not the normal looking birds. They were in a perfect arrow shape, and about 8-10 of them on either side.They were flying in synch, the exact same time and way, these birds looked like sting ray looking animals, very strange looking birds, with a wide wing span, and bodies like a sting ray.As I was watching, they disappeared, then they reappeared within seconds, and they were still in synch as they were flying flapping their wings all at the same time. I did mention what I saw to the 2 people I was driving with, I was a little embarrassed to mention it again.With in seconds they disappeared again, and not into clouds, because they were way below the clouds. I&amp;#8217;ve told my close friends and am embarrassed to mention it to anyone because don&amp;#8217;t want anyone to think I am crazy.Oh and I failed to mention, it was a beautiful clear day.&amp;#8221;Interestingly, several readers commented on the article saying they had also seen similar creatures and were still bothered to this day having not been able to identify them, but finding relief that others across Texas have been seeing these creaturesLike Lon, I wonder if it is possible that these flying cryptid beings are somehow able to live in water and fly over land? Have you seen anything like this? I&amp;#8217;d still like to hear your story if you have.Your Chronicler,Sydney C.
