The &#8216;fly-by&#8217; sightings happen most often after rain when the sky is still partially shaded by dispersing clouds. Multiple people have seen a large winged figure pass quickly above. Many more people have been surprised when the shadow of a large winged creature flew over them. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"6785\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/theleemsmachine.com\/bean\/blog\/2016\/03\/10\/mysterious-monster-goes-by-the-name-windy\/windy2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/theleemsmachine.com\/bean\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Windy2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"979,784\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Windy2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/theleemsmachine.com\/bean\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Windy2-400x320.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/theleemsmachine.com\/bean\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Windy2-600x480.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6785 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theleemsmachine.com\/bean\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Windy2-400x320.jpg\" alt=\"Windy2\" width=\"400\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theleemsmachine.com\/bean\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Windy2-400x320.jpg 400w, https:\/\/theleemsmachine.com\/bean\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Windy2-150x120.jpg 150w, https:\/\/theleemsmachine.com\/bean\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Windy2-768x615.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theleemsmachine.com\/bean\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Windy2-600x480.jpg 600w, https:\/\/theleemsmachine.com\/bean\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Windy2-144x115.jpg 144w, https:\/\/theleemsmachine.com\/bean\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Windy2.jpg 979w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/> Oddly enough, the &#8216;fly-by&#8217;
