The source is indicated as: "Eberhart, George M., A Geo-Bibliography of Anomalies, Greenwood Press, Westport, 1980, ISBN:0-313-21337-2".

Points to consider:

I did not find any press sources mentioning this alleged meeting.

George M. Eberhart is the source indicated in [ud1]; given its seriousness, there must be something to it... However, [ud1] could be wrong about the year for example.

To get an idea of what the "Jersey Devil" or "Leeds Devil" affairs were at their beginnings, refer to the cases in New Jersey, USA, from the 1909 year page of my catalog.

For this case, this could be a misinterpretation - a big bird for example, as often with the "Jersey Devil" - but my data is so meager for the time being that I can hardly say more.
