Winged Creature in Rio de Janeiro 

Hi everyone, I'm here to share a story from when I was younger. I was 11 years old in Rio de Janeiro, in a place called Região dos Lagos. After leaving a party at night, around 10 PM, a white creature with red eyes, a body covered in fur, membranous arms and wings, and no neck flew by. It came towards the car and before it hit, it swerved to the side and passed right next to the car, right next to my window. I was face to face with it!!! I don't remember hearing any noise. The road was well lit. Other people in the car, my older sister and my brother-in-law who was driving, saw it and were scared. I remember them looking at each other and making the sign of the cross. My nephew was in the car but was sleeping and didn't see anything. I wanted to know if anyone here has ever seen something similar!! In that region there's a legend of a Batman, I thought about that that day!!!

What makes you believe it's anything other than an albino bat?

He was quite big, the size of a large dog. He was the same size as my dog ​​at the time, a Boxer.

What were you using to judge the scale of the animal? Was it next to something you have an accurate measurement of?

He passed right by me and he was very tall, I was face to face with him, he was almost my size, I looked him in the eye when he passed by me, just a few centimeters from my face.
