People who saw glimpses of him while flying airplanes described him as a gremlin with varying physical appearances. His height would vary from a gnome-like 50 centimeters to being child-sized, some would say he looks like a lizard with giant ears, and others would say he has horns growing out of his head. Lisa Lisa states that these depictions are merely stories made up by people based on the rumors, but their imaginations and fear manifested into real things.
