In my childhood I lived in a small city in the south of the Dominican Republic. One summer night around the year 2003, I was sitting in the garage, listening to a Discman around 9:40 PM. As I was listening to the music, the music stopped, and I froze, in slow motion (and I swear this is true) I saw a really huge brown type of bird/bat/humanoid thing flying above me, it lasted about 2 minutes until it got lost in the trees, until that thing didn't get lost I couldn't move. I then ran inside and told my mom, she said it must have been an eagle, but that thing was bigger than me... A few days later I was visiting some friends in the neighborhood where a man that used to work late at night told a similar story, the only difference he had a closer look and said the 'bird' was wearing white sneakers. He called it 'El pajaro con tenis,' which means 'The bird with sneakers'... I think about it today, and still gives me the chills.
