Weird Flying Thing
by Jessica E.

One night about six years ago, my best friend Heather and I decided to go out riding around. We came up on a friend of ours walking so, we gave him a ride. We decided to pick up a six pack and park somewhere to drink a few beers and talk. We parked on the side of an old gravel road that led to the top of a mountain. It was summertime and we had the windows down. We had been there an hour or so when all at once something flew down and landed on the ground beside the car.

At first I thought it would be an owl. We all three looked and, to our surprise, it looked more like a squirrel. So, we all agreed that it had to be a flying squirrel. We were all aware that flying squirrels simply glide and they cannot take flight from the ground, which could've very well been the case in this particular instance since the furry little thing had only glided to the ground and continued to sit there.

It sat there for a good two or three minutes, just staring at us. All at once, the thing took flight from the ground and flew directly at us. Heather and I thought it would come in the passenger side window. It skimmed over the top of the car missing it by maybe four inches - then was gone. To this day, we have never figured out what in the world that squirrelly looking thing was.
