Bat interrupts zoning board meeting

SUDBURY, Mass., July 18 (UPI) -- Members of a Massachusetts zoning board said their meeting was interrupted twice by a bat that had flown into the building.

The Sudbury zoning board was meeting July 11 when the flying mammal entered the room, causing some members to hide under their desks, The Boston Globe reported Wednesday.

"It was a little weird to be having a bat flying around our meeting," board member Jonathan Gossels said.

Gossels said the bat flew into the hallway, but made a second appearance just as the meeting was being adjourned.

"Somehow it came back and we're not sure how that happened," Gossels said.

Gossels said the bat is believed to have eventually exited the building through the front door.
