Huge Black Flying "Something"

seaswirl · ‎03-15-2010

This morning when I woke up, I was glancing around my room and caught a sight of a huge flying SOMETHING frantically flying around my room. It was black and about 4-5" in size. When I left for work, I set up my Wyze cam, but so far I've not seen it again. Any ideas what it could be?

A bat?

Sounds like it could be a bat. We had one in the house a couple of times when I was a kid. It never appeared while it was daylight, just at night. We eventually chased it out of the house.

Did you sleep with the windows open? Where are you located? Could it have been a bird?

The only experience I've had with something black of that size occurred when I lived in Miami. Having never seen a palmetto bug in my life, I was stunned by the sight of one soon after moving there.

I called the maintenance man to remove it from my bedroom, and, thank heavens, I never had one in my apartment again.

Do you live in Florida?

@seaswirl ...That kind of weirds me out....Years ago, soon after we built this house, I was here by myself and saw exactly what you described fly from the front of the 'great room' to inside the master bedroom. I ran into the nearest room and closed the door, scared out of my wits ! Then I bravely eased to the door of the bedroom and closed it, knowing that what ever was in there must still be in there. DH came home soon and I made him go look...nada...couldn't find anything. I spent the rest of the night, stripping my curtains down, washing and vaccuming everything in sight. To this day, I haven't found out what it was - but I sure saw it !

@seaswirl

My bet also is a bat.

That's why your camera hasn't filmed him today, they're nocturnal.

Do you have a fireplace perhaps that they can get in and out of at night?

It's likely to be a bat or a very large species of moth. Either of those would find a tight spot to sleep for the night. I would look around for it and capture it for release while it's asleep since it's much easier.
