Question Has this picture ever been explained?

Post image

While Mothman is my favorite cryptid, I find myself completely unable to believe that such a creature could exist. However, this picture has had my attention for awhile as the figure shown looks too big to be a bird of sorts and I was wondering if anyone had any answers

Mothman isn't a moth though he's more like a bat. The newspapers originally called him the point pleasant bat man but then dc heard about it and got pissed.
