UFORIC report: swamp craft and bat-like creature, Ontario

Ontario near the Great Lakes, swamp close to the family home, Canada

Outside the region. Hind reprinted this case from elsewhere; it has a file here but no place on the map.

What was reported

Reprinted from the UFO Research Institute of Canada newsletter for 1990/92: a young woman and her father living in Ontario near the Great Lakes had been watching some form of craft almost nightly over a swamp beside their home. It gave off a loud cricket-like sound, which UFORIC recorded and analysed. One evening while taping the sounds the pair say they met a huge bat-like creature resembling a prehistoric bird. Hind includes it because the rustling noise and winged creature remind her of the Ray Burl case in Bulawayo in 1958, which she describes next.

What Hind made of it

Hind draws a parallel with the 1958 Bulawayo case on the grounds of the sound and the winged creature.
