In the cold night, November 16, 1963, teenagers John Flaxton, Mervyn Hutchinson and two other friends were walking home from a party at Sendling road in Kent when they saw a quiet, luminous ball descending from the sky.

Small, self-luminous object hovered over field then landed in the shadow of the forest in Sendling Park. While teenagers still reeling from this amazing observation, something even more inconceivable would soon grab their attention. In a few moments after the unusual object landed in the trees, the Teens noticed that something appeared. It was one of the most unique creatures ever recorded in UFOlogy.

Four of the shocked eyewitnesses said that saw from the forest came out trembling quasihomogeneity figure. The beast apparently looked like a bat without a head with large webbed feet and wings protruding from his back. In the words of Hutchinson:

"Thought he had no head. On his back were huge wings ... like the wings of a bat.

The group, understandably gripped by fear, ran away from the quaint bat and headed to the nearest police station, where they told his story, I think, very skeptical officers.

Few weeks there were other witnesses who claimed they too saw a UFO on that fateful night. John McGoldrick even claimed that he and his companion found at least three "two hundred feet" of "traces" in the area, where was seen the beast in the form of a bat.

Reporters said that the thicket was flooded with eerie and unexplained fever that lasted for several days before subside.

Original news

On the chilly evening of November 16, 1963, teenagers John Flaxton, Mervyn Hutchinson and two other friends were walking home from a party on Sandling Road in the county of Kent when they saw a silent, glowing, orb descending from the heavens.The small, self illuminated object, hovered above a field and then settled into the shadow infested foliage of the woods at Sandling Park. While the teens were still reeling from this astonishing sight, something even more inconceivable would soon grab their attention. Moments after the extraordinary craft landed behind the trees, the teens noticed a shaking in the brush and what emerged was one of the most unique creatures ever to be chronicled in ufology. The four shocked eyewitnesses claimed that they saw a shambling, quasi-humanoid figure emerge from the woods and waddle towards them. The beast apparently looked like a headless bat with large webbed feet and wings protruding from its back. In Hutchinson’s own words: “It didn’t seem to have any head. There were huge wings on its back… like bat wings.” 

The group, understandably overwhelmed with fear, rushed away from the freakish bat-thing and made their way to the nearest police station, where they related their tale to — what one must assume were — highly skeptical officers. 

Within weeks other eyewitnesses came forth to claim that they too had seen the UFO on that fateful eve. John McGoldrick even claimed that he and a companion had discovered no less than three, 2-foot long “footprints” in the area where the bat beast was seen.

When reporters descended onto the scene they claimed that the thicket was bathed in an eerie — and inexplicable — glow, which continued for some days before subsiding.
