Winged beings

This story was submitted to the site by C from Wharton, IL USA.
Sometime in the early 1990s (I was still a kid, I can't recall the date) I was swimming at Rice Pool, a public pool, in Wheaton. It was after dark and a hush came over the remaining guests at the pool. I recall looking up and seeing what I remember to be 2 winged beings flying over the site. Everyone at the pool was silent and just staring upward. It was so quiet that I could hear the wings flap. They appeared to be humanoid.

I've lived in wonder since, hoping to maybe find someone who saw the same thing elsewhere, or someone who was there? Have considered hypnosis but hesitant. I am not a religious person at all, but in order to paint a picture I will say that they resembled what I believe an angel might look like. After a few moments they flew away and I've been mystified since. This is a serious inquiry, please do me the courtesy of a serious response. :)[!gad]Sometime in the early 1990s (I was still a kid, I can't recall the date) I was swimming at Rice Pool, a public pool, in Wheaton.

Everyone at the pool was silent and just staring upward. It was so quiet that I could hear the wings flap. They appeared to be humanoid. You haven't said how many people were at the pool, but after whatever they were had gone it's a wonder nobody spoke about what they'd just witnessed. I find that very odd unless they didn't think they'd seen anything out of the ordinary, but that doesn't go with your deion of 'humanoid beings'...I think if that were the case everyone wouldn't have acted so casually at the time or afterwards when you said whatever they were 'flew away'. I don't know what you s... [More]

My thots exactly, seems he was the only one noticed anything odd going on. That leads me to believe "he was" the only one witnessing his daydream or whatever it may have been. if i was in a crowd and we all see strange flying creatures there would be total panic or awe, maybe both.

The OP (story teller, not UM Bot), did mention that everyone else looked up at the winged beings in silence. And as for what they were, I can only guess. Could you provide more deion of the beings?

Were they flying upright or horizontally?

Could it have been people gliding in wing-suits? That's a logical idea; Food for thought.

At night? Probably some large birds, like owls.
