Some of the things I find while I cruise the net instead of watching basketball on TV

The Little Bustard Tetrax tarda Is a declining bird in Europe and a very rare vagrant to the UK. The French name for this species translates as "Farting Chicken", which seems quite appropriate when you hear them calling.

Maybe I will get some T Shirts made for the “save the little bustard” movement....

A lurker poping up from way back in the thread - Hi!! I saw this post and would like to know what you know about this bird. The little I read about it indicates it is not in the USA - yes or no? Any usa reletives? I ask because I have heard a bird that sounds like this is described. The last couple of years, occasionally, and only at night there is a bird that sounds like a big, wet, fart flies over. Since the sounds moves overhead, it has to be a bird, but as it is dark out, I have never seen it. Then I see this post and wonder about it.
 
correct don't play around at the mall
they will shoot 1st & may not even care to ask any questions later

interesting but I think its mostly in spain ans southern europe. it has relatives in Australia and Africa but the non farting kind
as long as your bird is only farting you should be safe lol

Could be a common nighthawk. They're active at night and make a call that could be described as you said.

Check out this site to listen to the "peent" calls. These recordings are really a lot better than what I usually hear when they're in flight.
