Mysterious Oversized MOTH-LIKE CREATURE Reported Near Allegheny National Forest, PA
The following account was reported to Stan Gordon in 2017. It’s such a unique encounter that I wanted to repost it, as well as gather information from other possible witnesses to this phenomenon.
Mystery Oversized Moth-like Creature Reported in Pennsylvania
From Stan Gordon
Stan Gordon’s UFO Anomalies Zone
During 2017, there have been a variety of cryptid reports from across Pennsylvania. Among those incidents that have reportedly occurred were encounters with Bigfoot, black panthers, thunderbirds, and other odd creatures.
The areas around the Allegheny National Forest located in the Northwestern part of Pennsylvania, have had a long history of reports of UFOs, Bigfoot, and other mysterious events. On July 8, 2017, a couple who lives near the forest area encountered something that has them baffled. It was about 9 a.m. that day when the wife went outside to the deck located at the back of their country home. On a post, the woman noticed what looked to be an oversized moth that was resting on a 6×6 vertical post.
The moth looked to be about 11 inches long and about 5½ inches wide in the area that was described as the shoulders. The overall shape gave the impression of looking like an hourglass figure. They also noticed that there were either two antennas or pointed ears located around the top of the head area that appeared to be about one inch in length. The head appeared to be tucked inside the body while it was resting. The observers estimated that the wingspan would have been around 15 inches when open.
The wife called her husband out to also observe the creature. The wife thought that the creature was beautiful and that the color was a pale green iridescent on the outer part of the wings and a cream color skin texture in the middle. The man said he was amazed at what he saw and had never seen anything like it before. They said the best way to describe it was “like an overgrown moth.”
They continued to watch the winged creature that appeared to be sleeping. His wife then touched the creature which she said felt smooth. The wings actually felt skin-like, not like feathers or fuzz. The witnesses could not see through the wings. The creature did not move when touched. The woman also noticed that there was no powdery material on her hands that you generally get from coming in contact with the wings of a moth.
The couple had to leave the house for a while. Before they left however his wife went into the house to get a camera to take a picture of the strange winged visitor. The woman stood about a foot away from the creature and turned on the power switch but the camera would not turn on. The camera had always worked well so they replaced the batteries. The camera still would not turn on. The next day they tried the camera again and it powered up as normal and worked fine.
When the couple was walking to their car they noticed a second similar winged creature resting on the outside wall of their home about 10 feet off the ground. When they returned home a while later, both of the creatures had gone.
The couple has provided a sketch of what they saw. The sketch shows the back of the wings and the red area behind it is the 6×6 vertical post that the creature was resting on vertically.
Addendum: It may just be a coincidence that the camera malfunctioned when the woman attempted to photograph the odd-looking winged creature. Many years ago I began to notice some cases where photographic equipment malfunctioned when a person attempted to take a picture of a UFO or other phenomena. In more recent years this has been reported in some significant UFO encounters in the state. This phenomenon has also been reported by others involved in various paranormal research as well.

Amazon Pet Day is almost here to kick off your National Pet Month celebrations: Here’s what you need to know
TL;DR: Amazon Pet Day runs from May 2 at 12 a.m. PDT to May 3 at 11:59 a.m. PDT, but some of the best deals are already live. Here are a few of our top picks:
-
The ChomChom Pet Hair Remover is a shedding season godsend — $25.45
$31.95(save $6.50) -
The Casper Dog Bed lets your pup dream on plush memory foam— $111.20
$139(save $27.80) -
The Dyson V12 Detect Slim cordless vacuum cleaner has a laser that’ll reveal every last piece of pet hair on your floors — $549
$649(save $100)
Any time of the year is a good time to spoil your pet, but now that our calendars have turned to May 1, National Pet Month gives you an even better excuse.
Not only does that mean you can treat your bestie to something nice, it also means that tons of everyday essentials, like food, litter, and toys (yes, we said essentials), will be marked down from many different pet brands. So pet parents, get ready.
Starting the month strong is everyone’s favorite mega-retailer with the Amazon Pet Day sale, a 48-hour sale event that’ll feature nearly pet deal you can think of. Though it hasn’t started yet, we’ve rounded up what you need to know — including the best deals to expect.
When is Amazon Pet Day?
Amazon Pet Day is a sale on all things pets that will actually last two days, from May 2 at 12 a.m. PDT to May 3 at 11:59 a.m. PDT. This certainly ups the ante from Amazon’s first-ever Pet Day sale last year, which lasted 24 hours.
During the event, the site will be marking down pretty much any pet product you can think of, from Fresh Step cat litter, Casper dog beds, Dyson vacuums (the laser attachment is your best defense against spring shedding) — even pet movies and shows will be 50% off.
What to Expect from Amazon Pet Day
Unlike Amazon’s Prime Day sale, Pet Day deals will be available to any Amazon customer. You can even score free shipping on any order over $25, Prime membership or not. The only deals non-members won’t have access to are Prime Video movie deals.
While you’re shopping, you’ll also be able to catch Dolly Parton and her dog Billy the Kid on Amazon Live, talking about her iconic Doggy Parton line, which includes toys, collars and leashes, and of course, apparel.
The best Amazon Pet Day deals
While the sale hasn’t officially begun, some deals are already live in addition to what we’re looking forward to seeing tomorrow — check both out below.
