"If that was a crash, maybe I need to check," you tell yourself. It didn't land close, it's dark, and you've had a few to drink. Nearby is a perfect tree for climbing and if something crashed you SHOULD see an orange glow of fire out in the dark woods.
Holding your cell phone screen as a flash light in your teeth you climb up toward the night sky. The star dome tonight is perfectly clear in the moonless sky and everything is quiet except the crickets. The last dull embers of your campfire are the only other light you see. If that wasn't a crash, what was it?
Sitting in the tree quietly listening for any sounds of any kind of distress call or watching for those emergency flares people sometimes send out, you do feel something like a large owl land in the tree nearby shaking the limbs. It's the biggest "bird" you've ever seen.
