The father and son were parked on the side of the road in a densely wooded area when a winged "monster" accidentally slipped along the road. It looked big enough to carry a grown man without difficulty. When it flew over the hood of the car, they both instantly ducked. 

The creature had a round human-sized head without a beak and huge bat-like wings, the body was 5-6 feet (1.5-1.8 m) long easily, the wingspan was 25-30 feet (7.5-9 m) light, without feathers, the skin like a bat, pitch black and 4-5 feet (1.2-1.5 m) skinny rat tail sticking out. 

This creature did not fly like a bird, it glided about 10 feet (6 m) from the ground at a very slow speed. After 50-75 feet (15-22. 5 m) of planning, he made one huge flap of his wings, without changing the height, and glided up the road until he disappeared into the forest.

Summary: A father and son were parked on the side of the road in a heavily wooded area when a winged ‘monster’ casually glided up the road. It looked big enough to carry a full grown man away with no effort. When the wing flew over the hood of the car, they both instantly ducked down. The creature had a round human sized head with no beak and huge bat-like wings, the body was 5-6 ft in length easy, wing span was 25-30 ft easy, no feathers, bat-like skin, jet black, and a 4-5 ft skinny rat-like tail that stuck straight out. This creature didn’t flying like a bird it glided about 10 ft off the ground at a very slow speed. After 50 to 75 ft of gliding, it took one huge flap of the wings, never changing elevation and glided up the road until it disappeared into the woods. The adult witness is convinced that this creature lives ‘underground’ probably near some hot springs since it has no feathers.
