I used to live in Van Meter..it's terrorized by tweekers.. ..

[@MarkWilson-qx8yh]

Ok, that was weird! When I hear stories like this, I think of other dimensions. If you think about it, when an eyewitness sees something, it's here and then it disappears. It's like these creatures come from someplace else and then go back to where they came from. Very Strange! Great Video! Thanks

I don't know of anything in nature today that can produce such a bright light with bioluminessance.

Thunderbird

[@dakotahostermeyer505]

I saw it about 4 and a half hours ago. I could not see its head it was directly above

[@jamesalexander6417]

Sounds like they encountered a ropen.

[@bastiaanstapelberg9018]

Ik denk een kolibrie?

[@insomniasociety]

Moet een hele grote geweest zijn! 😄
(Must have been quite a big one! 😄)

[@MikkiThaiGuy13]

If I was a creature monster Id choose the Iowa residents as well... I mean for real have you guys ever seen the Burt Reynold movie Deliverance? Pretty much Iowa in a nutshell haha

[@sonsofodinunitedbybrothers9613]

I believe that was filmed in upstate New York but based on west Virginia

[@AFloridaSon]

I believe there's some credible stories out there about flying cryptids, but I have a problem with the bright light on this one. I shouldn't have a problem with it, and I know that, but for whatever reason, it throws me off.

[@insomniasociety]

It’s a very odd one to be sure! There really is a surprising amount of cases I came across when researching this one. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@OzarksAlphaBullyz]

Just research the Native Americans Thunderbird
