REPORT DETAIL
Description of event: Was just getting into bed, when I heard several heavy thud sounds outside (not next to the house, but close enough to hear in the silence of night. I went to the window, and it was too dark to see, but I also didn't hear anything more for a few minutes. Then I heard a "hollering" sound, I cannot exactly describe. I have heard dogs and coyotes, and they don't sound like what I was hearing. It almost seems as though it was calling out, and came in patterns of several "calls" at a time, each ending in an upwards tone like a question. My husband was sleeping, but I opened the window, which magnified the sounds, waking him up. He lifted his head, and we looked at each other in confusion. It lasted about 45 seconds, and since near the highway, several trucks passed and the sounds stopped. I ran out onto the front porch, turned off the lights, and stood there for a while, not hearing anything at all outside.
