what in the world was this?

hello, im a new members so i hope this kinda thing hasn't been posted already.
ok so last night around like 3 i was sitting on my couch watching tv when i heard this very high pitched screaming noise. so i went out side to see what it was and all i saw were two red eyes staring at me then it dissapeared! what was that? if anyone can help i would appriciate it.

I live in CT, and in the winter, coyotes come down to feed. The first time I heard one, it sounded like a little girl in trouble, high pitched screeaming, it scared the heck out of me. So I go out to see, and sure enough, a coyote saw me and ran away. I think there are some larger fowl that make screaming noises, turkey or peacock I think ????

Foxes scram like a woman being raped when they are mating in the spring.

The way the light caught it's eyes may have made it red.

Vultures make horrible noises, but thier eye don't reflect red.

Also, not sure where you live, but mountain lions and other large cats can reflect red from thier eyes and make terrible sounds that ressemble people screaming.

what part of the country are you from?

wildcats, mountain lions, panthers...........all scream like a woman. don't know about foxes hadn't heard that one before.

but do you live in a mountainous area? rural?

i live in New Mexico. and 1 thing i rule out coyote because it was in a tree

also how could light be making there eyes red if i had no lights on?

hhhmmmm.........new mexico.............well you're right in the middle of big cat country......................and they climb trees.

i know that opossums HISS...........but i'm not certain of what other noises they make..........

cats eyes GLOW at night.......they reflect the light even at very low levels. but i'm not certain of red eyes.

sounds very interesting!

i wish i could of recorded the sound well i could sorta discribe it.

it was a very VERY high pitched noise like a feedback but higher.
and also i wouldnt stop till i came out, wich was after about a 10 seconds bcuz i had to get something to protect my self! (don't think im a wuss!)

if i heard something screeching like a banshee outside my window i wouldn't go outside without a weapon either!


angie

so wat do u think it was?

some sort of animal? i think it was............

sorry...that was me drunk in your garden trying to steal something......i fell over that big rock youve got and banged my knee

seriously though.....i have no idea but that would have scared the cack out of me....perhaps leave a video camera recording and see what shows up?

Come to think of it i did smell beer

also how could light be making there eyes red if i had no lights on?

If it was 3 in the morning you had to have some sort of light on to see the animal , remember it takes very little light to make certain animals eyes glow red at night.

i've said it once and i'll say it again "all i saw were two red eyes staring at me and a high pitched screaming noise"

there is something i'd like to state anyone who thinks there had to be some light to see the animal ALL I SAW WERE RED EYES! ok? aight im out ill be gone 4 a while im going to the pool

sounds to me like it might have been a bat. the 'feedback' sound you heard might been its sonar.

how was it positioned in the tree? was it very high off the ground? how far away was it approx? are you sure there was only the one sound? could it have been more?

[/quote/ the tree is probably about as big as my house and not that far from the door...no i don't think it was more becuase all i saw was i pair of eyes
