I've never seen a moose move that fast or fly that fast either.

I think thats a deer, not a moose. Even a baby moose is larger than that.

If you can manage to stop the film at 3 sec. 4 sec. and 5 sec. you will see that it is actually a out of control flying female reindeer.

Picking out that it was female, that is quite the feat Gerry. ::)
I thought it was a deer also, but more along the lines of the damage to both cars. A moose flying through the air would have more than likely collapsed the windshield posts and flattened the roof like a pan cake.

Yes, I was born with the ability to spot females with a glance. This is helpful when you live in the woods. I don't want to be going after the wrong knot hole.
I have seen cars that have been attacked by flying moose and they are definately crushed.

Yup, my parents hit a moose at 60 mph they walked away, but the car was a real mess.

I've seen one kill a tractor trailer driver. Hit the front and flipped over the hood through the windshield.

I would say it was a deer. Elk and Moose are quite a bit bigger. Certainly would not want to be on a bike when it happened.

It doesn't appear to be Rudy, no red nose. But maybe she hasn't been to the bar yet. I'm thinking its Comet, she's the fastest one... ;)
