It is grey in color with red glowing eyes.
There is serious debate about whether the Mothmancausedthe bridge collapse or was merely warning people about it.
The Grinning Man is believed to be an alien or alien species.
Mothman
[*] There are no confirmed photos of the Mothman, though many fake pictures exist.
It looked like a man; it looked like a man with wings!
He flew about 10-12 feet above us and was perfectly silhouetted against the evening sky.
We saw it for about 4 seconds before it disappeared from view.
I at first thought of ringing someone, but I didnt want them to think I had gone crazy.
Approximately 1 block from the main campus of the University of Illinois at Chicago.

She was babbling hysterically, saying that something was looking in at her from the window.
My friend lost it and started screaming hysterically and backed herself into the corner.
She said she felt like a rabbit that was about to be pounced upon by an eagle.
She dismissed everything, saying that she had seen what she had seen.
As I sat there comforting her, my cell phone rang from my room.
I got up and ran to my room and snatched it from my dresser top and answered it.
They stared at me for about 3-4 seconds before what ever it was abruptly left.
My boyfriend was now screaming into the phone Whats wrong, whats wrong!
It was perched on top of a basketball hoop in the neighborhood park.
They stated that it saw them and had alighted into the air with an audible whoosh.
She says that its the only way that she felt secure to be in there after dark.
I dont think that neither I nor my roommate will ever be the same again after this.
A lot of the people who spoke about it were spooked by it.
It totally makes me wonder what it truly was and if it meant us an harm.
Its located by the trestle bridge that runs east to west over near 130th street.
The problem was there was no train going by at the moment.
On this day, it was quiet with the occasional sound of trucks or cars going about.
We thought it looked like a giant bird, but it was solid black.
This thing was unlike any bird we have seen in our lives.
It was solid black and had to be about the size of a full grown man.
It had wings that must have been 10 feet from tip to tip.
It flew up and out of sight within seconds.
We packed up our gear and got the hell out of there as fast as we could.
We watched it go over the bridge and then continue flying right above the water and out of sight.
My daughter and me tried to get pictures of it, but by the time we took pictures.
All we got were blurry images of mostly black.
My daughter did sketch what she saw and I have included it in this email.
We have never seen anything like this before, it never flapped its wings while we were in sight.
I have gone skydiving before and have seen demonstrations of wingsuits in the past.
There was no sound at all, just an audible whoosh as it flew over.
It was up and over the bridge in a matter of seconds and then it was gone.
