For those not familiar with this weird bit of modern folklore Wikipedia has an entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mothman
The mothman is, according to the folklore, a tall human shaped thing with big wings and glowing red eyes.
While the red angle is a tall winged figure that glows red but whose eyes you can’t see.
Both figures are associated with presaging, warning or perhaps causing disasters.
This in turn raises the question whether Star Trek Discovery is actually an X-Files reboot? [I recall a backwards X-Files-ish episode from TNG but I also semi-recall a more overtly X-Files but backwards episode from some other series (i.e. regular crew of the ship are the aliens being investigated by actual Mulder & Scully like aliens but I can’t for the life of me remember what series it was.]

I think you might be thinking of the episode “Visitors from Down the Street” in the short-lived Babylon 5 spin-off Crusade. Though of course I could be wrong… but it seems to fit the bill pretty neatly.
