Incident date:

Location: 
Ловингтон, NM
United States

The witness had just returned from feeding his horses and was entering his home when he noticed the back of a strange creature perched on a six-foot (1.8 m) fence. The creature was three and a half feet (1 m) tall, was blackish-green in color, with long 4-inch (10.16 cm) fangs extending from the top of its mouth, and a long whip-like tail. In addition, the creature's mouth was full of razor-like teeth. 

The creature had "three bird-like" toes, and on its arms or wings it had claws, long and shiny. The most striking feature was his red glowing eyes, which had a hypnotic effect on the witness. 

The witness armed himself with a double-barrelled shotgun, opened the patio door, and slowly walked out into the street. He watched the creature leap into the vines nearby. Raising the shotgun to his shoulder, he fired twice. 

On the second barrel, the creature let out a high-pitched scream and disappeared in a puff of smoke. Immediately, a terrible stench filled the air. The witness felt that if he hadn't shot the creature, it would have attacked him. After the shooting, 3 of his dogs howled at the stench and tried to return to the house.
