Could've been something else - like a huge supernatural entity. Or not.
Out on a call in the middle of the night I took my service truck into an off ramp at maybe 70 mph and to my horror there was a big something just standing there. In an instant it's head turned toward me and I thought 'a huge owl' and then whaaaaaaang ! Steel bumper vs owl: bet on the Ford.
Maybe it was already injured. Maybe, as owls go, it was a stupid one
Owls of Nevada
OWLS OF NEVADA
Nevada is known for its rugged landscapes and unique biodiversity. From mountain lions, to bears and coyotes, our state has some magnificent creatures! But did you know that Nevada is also home to twelve different species of owl? That’s right! Twelve.
These impressive raptors, or birds of prey, are primarily nocturnal or crepuscular, meaning that they are active at night, or during the hours of dawn and dusk. These majestic birds vary in size and coloration. In fact, Nevada is home to one of the world’s lightest owls: the elf owl. This tiny creature weighs in at around 1.4 ounces total. Conversely, great horned owls can also be found in Nevada. Great horned owls are one of Nevada’s largest nocturnal raptors and weighs between 2-4 pounds! Other species of owl that can be found in Nevada include the western screech, northern saw-whet, long-eared owl, and the burrowing owl to name a few!
Owls are masters of hiding in plain sight. These raptors excel at the art of camouflage, easily blending in with trees and rocks. In doing so, they improve their odds of survival by stealthily hiding from potential predators, while increasing the likelihood that they will be able to catch their next meal.
The next time that you are out on a night hike, keep an eye (or an ear) out for these fascinating birds of prey!

Despite its name, the great horned owl doesn’t actually have horns. Instead it has tufts of feathers on either side of its head, which resemble horns or ears. The bird's feathers are brown to gray, except for the ones on its throat, which are white. Great horned owls have a wingspan of approximately 4.6 feet (1.4 meters) and weigh just three pounds (1.4 kilograms).

Good sighting. I have to wonder how certain the witness is that the entity was 7 feet tall? If it was in fact that tall, it would be pretty hard to say it was an owl or another ordinary creature.

Probably trying to find Art Bell.
The Mufon people did the only thing they could: Shrug and say I dunno, information only. It does sound a lot like Mothman, whatever that is.

Stare..... They are always staring
I notice that the mothman meme had been front and center in Chicago and vicinity over the past couple of years at least.(Courtesy of Phantoms and Monsters) If the old Sears tower is supposed to implode or something close to it, it's sure taking it's sweet time to happen.

With no face maybe it was some kind of projected or a supernatural entity as @pigfarmer stated.

The not-so-wise owl I creamed only turned it’s head toward my bumper at the last second and I saw it’s eyes. Might’ve appeared faceless otherwise. It looked huge too. We are not at our best when startled so I’m not taking the size estimate literally

I heard Loren Coleman say in an interview that in the early part of the Mothman episode, what was being discussed was an unusually large owl. The witnesses didn't know what they saw, but I think even some of them thought it might be a "gigantic" owl. The headless winged humanoid creature came along later. I was surprised to hear him say that, given some of the other things he's said and posted about it. There was plenty of weirdness in Point Pleasant without "Mothman", and you don't need any of John Keel's experiences either to have a very strange episode.
Interesting that the descriptions are so similar, a couple of thousand miles and several decades apart.

Nevada witness describes ‘giant moth’ moving nearby
Came across this which I noticed kind of strange and goes with the original post just the days are different

sounds like a mothman type flying humanoid indeed
