Sky Demon of Oyster Bay was a cloud danger that we regularly encounter in the world, no one would think that an inconspicuous cloud could represent one of them. However, in 1975, high school teacher Tom D'Ercole encountered what looked like a cloud, but turned out to be something much more peculiar.
On that sunny day, D'Ercole woke up to a fairly ordinary holiday. However, a beautiful summer day was soon to turn into a disturbing experience for him, which certainly changed his view of the laws of nature. D'Ercole taught science, so he had a rational and logical view of the world, but as soon as he stepped out of his home in Oyster Bay on the North Shore of Long Island, something was waiting for him. At the moment when he was about to get into his car, he noticed an unusual thing above the roof of the house. There was a very small dark cloud floating there, which was too low compared to the cloud layer high in the sky.
So curiosity got the better of him, so he looked at the cloud. It was evident that it defied the laws of meteorology and seemed to move gently against the wind and even grow a little. D'Ercole later gave a precise description of what followed: "This basketball-sized cloud flew up and down over the upper edge of the roof. It changed shape from a spherical mass to a larger ellipse until it reached a dark abstract shape of many curves. It finally measured about 1 .8 meters in height and 45 centimeters in width."
Description[]
This appearance was indeed something bizarre even then, but things were yet to develop dramatically. D'Ercole described how the cloud monster suddenly "took a deep breath," formed what looked like a mouth or lips, and spewed a spray of water at him and his car. The confused teacher then watched in amazement as this abnormal thing simply vanished into the sky. Full of excitement from the experience, D'Ercole ran inside and packed his soaked shirt into a bag as it represented the only evidence of what had just happened. Despite the initial plans he had that day, he immediately went to his school lab at Garden City Junior High.
There, after a PH test on his shirt, he discovered to his relief that he and the car had been doused with ordinary water. So it would make sense to witnesses ignorant of the details of his experience that the teacher just happened to be caught in a sudden rain shower at the wrong time. However, how anyone else would explain the moving cloud changing shape and producing a "mouth" with which it literally massively and with undisguised audacity spat at the unsuspecting teacher remains open to interpretation. Given that the witness was a scientifically educated person who certainly had nothing to gain from this story (quite the contrary), it appears that D'Ercole did not make this incident up. A living creature, a ghostly being, or something we cannot even define, whatever the cloudy thing that D'Ercole observed that day was, it will probably remain a mystery forever.
