	The Barrow-Downs
		In the Third Age, the dwarves delved ever deeper in their search for mithril.
		There they unasked for came across a Balrog, who had taken refuge there after the fall of the Thangorodrim.
		The dwarves deserted Khaza-dûm after King Durin VI and his son Náin I were slain by the Balrog in 1981 TA, and in later years, Moria became a settlement for many of Sauron's minions.

	Do Balrogs have wings, and can they fly? (The Truth About Balrogs, Vol. 6)
		The passage in The Silmarillion was apparently edited from the original text given in Morgoth's Ring, though it is possible that there was another closely related version of the passage used in The Silmarillion.
		As with the first passage the argument is that this should be read to say that the Balrog flew away from Thangorodrim and leave it at that.
		It seems clear that Tolkien did not intend movement through the air in any of these latter quotations, and thus that the Balrog 'flying from Thangorodrim' might well have referred to the fact of it's escape rather than the mode.

	Other Creatures of Middle-earth
		There are a few other ambiguous passages that are relevant to the debate:
		"Thus they roused from sleep a thing of terror that, flying from Thangorodrim, had lain hidden..."
		Here flying may be used in the sense of traveling through the air, or it may mean fleeing.
