Rockford, Illinois Witness: 'Giant, shapeless black thing with two very large red eyes' Posted: 07 Oct 2020 10:35 AM PDT  The following account was posted by Phantoms & Monsters Fortean Research and Singular Fortean Society investigator Tobias Wayland: 21-year-old Rockford, Illinois resident Jonathan Lane contacted the Singular Fortean Society’s lead investigator Tobias Wayland last week to report a sighting of what Lane would later describe as a “giant, shapeless, black thing” with “two very large red eyes.” According to Lane, the sighting took place between 10:20 and 10:30 pm on an August night in 2016, sometime “before school had started that year.”
Like many witnesses, Lane was met with ridicule when he initially shared his story and kept it quiet for years afterward, at least until he saw the Small Town Monsters documentary 'Terror in the Skies.' "My father was there, and I told him about it and he started laughing and making fun of me," he explained. "So, since then I’ve just kept [my experience] very private, [although] I told my sister about it once. I’ve just never really forgotten about it. I never knew what it was. I saw the documentary [Terror in the Skies] and it was just mind-blowing to see you guys talk about stuff like that. I just wanted to reach out somehow." Approximately a year after his sighting of the red-eyed entity, Lane said he saw an unidentified flying object in the same area.
Whatever he saw, Lane’s sightings have definitely had an effect on him. "Both of those things very much bothered me," he said. "We have a huge picture window in our living room and it’s a huge pet peeve of mine to make sure those curtains are closed, overlapping, so nothing shows at night. I had a room in the corner of the house nearby that tree, and eventually I had to move rooms." He added that, despite his fear of doing so, it felt refreshing to express his experiences to someone, and that his "main motivation for sharing [them was] to add credibility and make it easier for other people to come forward." Have you had a sighting of a flying humanoid or huge bat-like creature in the Chicago, Illinois metro area / Lake Michigan region? The entity has also been referred to as the 'Chicago Mothman', 'Chicago Owlman' & 'O'Hare Mothman.'
