The "beast from the air" is the dead body of a pilot, suspended from a parachute, which descends from the air and lands on top of the mountain. This body and it's "flapping" parachute are mistakenly identified in the dark as a"winged beast" by the twins Sam n Eric, who are called Samneric by the other boys.
