 A NEW GENUS AND SPECIES OF OWL (AVES: STRIGIDAE) FROM PERU
REMARKS For reasons to be discussed later we believe that Xenoglaux is most closely related to Glaucidium and Micrathene, the three forming a group within the family Strigidae, but with Xenoglaux and Micrathene being closer to each other than either is to Glaucidium.
Taxonomists do not presently agree on the correct arrangement of currently recognized owl genera nor do they agree on which morphological charac- ters are significant.
A new genus and species of tiny owl of the family Strigidae is described from cloud forest in the Departamento de San Martin in northern Peru.

As for the eyes, if the beings are night raptors, it is sure that their luminosity is caused by reflection of the house lighting on the bird iris.
The slim bodies suggest that the birds took an elongated posture for appearing taller in front of a human being (potential enemy) or because of a camouflage reflex (usual for a long-eared owl).
This can be explained by the fact that some strigidae species are endangered (at least in European countries) and that we only begin to hear again their various calls in the country.

 Flatwoods UFO Monster; Investigative Files (Skeptical Inquirer November 2000)
According to Keyhoe (1953), they concluded the "monster" was probably "a large owl perched on a limb" with underbrush beneath it having "given the impression of a giant figure" and the excited witnesses having "imagined the rest."
I believe this generic solution is correct, but that the owl was not from the family of "typical owls" (Strigidae, which includes the familiar great horned owl) but the other family (Tytonidae) which comprises the barn owls.
Several elements in the witnesses' descriptions help identify the Flatwoods creature specifically as Tyto alba, the common barn owl, known almost worldwide (Collins 1959).
