The witness noticed a strange flying creature, somewhat resembling an arrowhead, flying backwards, with what looked like a head or bump in front. It didn't look mechanical. It was more like some kind of animal. 

It didn't have extended wings like any bird, but it seemed to have some sort of short wings that were part of the body, like a flying squirrel or some kind of bat. They protruded towards the end and narrowed to a point at the back. 

The creature looked about 3 feet (0.9 m) from the tail and just over 2 feet (0.6 m) wide at the shoulders. It was moving very fast in a straight line at an altitude of about 150 feet (45 m). The witness did not see such a method of movement as wing movement. It just seemed to glide, but with great speed. 

It continued its horizontal flight, heading west, where the witness eventually lost sight of it.

Summary: The witness spotted a bizarre flying creature somewhat resembling an arrowhead flying backwards, with what looked to a head or knob on the front. It didn’t look mechanical; it was more like some type of animal. It did not have extended wings like a bird of any kind, but seemed to have some sort of stubby wings, which were part of the body, like a flying squirrel or some type of bat. They protruded out near the end & tapered back to a point at the rear. The creature appeared to be around 3 ft from to tail & a little over 2 ft wide at the shoulders. It was moving very fast in a straight line at an altitude of approximate 150 ft. The witness did not see a method of propulsion such as wing movement. It just seemed to be gliding, but at a high rate of speed. It maintained level flight moving west where the witness eventually lost sight of it. Other details were a light brown color along the sides of the wings, like skin, with a dark body color, possibly dark brown or black.
